Partnership Share Scheme financial

"Purchase of ordinary shares under the Partnership Share Scheme – a HMRC approved Share Incentive Plan"

Share Incentive Plan financial

"the British American Tobacco Share Incentive Plan that on 6 May 2026 the following Executive Director"

A share incentive plan is a company program that gives employees or directors the chance to receive or buy company shares, often after staying with the firm or meeting performance goals. It matters to investors because it’s like giving workers a slice of the company pie to boost performance and loyalty, but issuing those slices can reduce each existing owner’s portion and change metrics such as earnings per share and share count.

Deferred Share Bonus Scheme financial

"Acquisition of quarterly dividend equivalent shares under the British American Tobacco Deferred Share Bonus Scheme"

Long-Term Incentive Plan financial

"Acquisition of quarterly dividend equivalent shares under the British American Tobacco Long-Term Incentive Plan"

A long-term incentive plan is a company program that pays executives or employees with stock, options, or cash tied to multi-year performance goals, where the rewards become theirs only after meeting conditions over time. Think of it as a delayed bonus or retirement-style reward that aligns employees’ interests with shareholders by encouraging them to boost long-term value; investors watch these plans because they affect pay costs, share dilution and management incentives.

Person Closely Associated financial
