29. Share-based payments
As disclosed in the Directors’ Remuneration Report, the Group runs a number of share award plans and share option plans:
• Savings Related Share Option Scheme which is open to all employees
• LTIP and ESOS options which are granted to directors
• AESOP awards that are available to all employees
Share-based payment costs and related deferred and current tax charges are recognised within the share option reserve.
Savings Related Share Option Scheme (SAYE)
All SAYEs outstanding at 29 January 2023 and 30 January 2022 have no performance criteria attached other than the requirement for the employee to remain in the employment
of the Company and to continue contributing to the plan. Options granted under the SAYE must be exercised within six months of the relevant award vesting date.
The SAYE is open to all qualifying employees in employment at the date of inception of the scheme. Options are normally exercisable after three years from the date of grant.
The price at which options are offered is not less than 80% of the average of the middle-market price of the five dealing days immediately preceding the date of invitation.
