Transaction by Person Discharging Managerial
Responsibilities
AstraZeneca PLC (the Company) announced that, on 10 February 2022,
an award of the Company's ordinary shares of $0.25 each (Ordinary
Shares) under the AstraZeneca Investment Plan (AZIP) vested to
Pascal Soriot, Chief Executive Officer.
The AZIP award was granted on 28 March 2014 and was subject to a
four-year performance period followed by a four-year holding period
before vesting. Application of the performance measures specified
at the time of grant resulted in 100% of the AZIP award entering
the holding period.
Following the reinvestment of dividends accrued during the
performance and holding periods and the withholding of shares to
satisfy certain tax obligations arising on vesting, Mr Soriot
acquired Ordinary Shares as detailed in the table
below:
