Peter’s salary, pension and contractual benefits continued to be paid as normal until the Termination Date. Peter was entitled to receive his FY22 bonus, being £845,632.70 in total (“Total Bonus”), which was paid to him on or around 23 June 2022.

Peter’s 2019 RSP award will be treated in line with the agreed leaver provisions. 50% of the 2019 RSP vested in full on the original vesting date on 30 May 2022, however the 25% due to vest in 2023 and 2024 both lapsed in full.
