FAQ

What did GSK plc (GLAXF) disclose in this Form 6-K filing?

GSK disclosed the vesting of 2023 deferred bonus awards for senior executives under its 2017 Deferred Annual Bonus Plan. Awards over Ordinary Shares and ADS vested on 9 February 2026, with some of the resulting shares sold to cover associated tax liabilities.

Which GSK (GLAXF) executives had deferred bonus awards vest in February 2026?

Executives with vesting awards included Chief Executive Officer Luke Miels, Chief People Officer Diana Conrad, and several other senior leaders such as the Chief Scientific Officer and President, Corporate Development. Each received shares or ADS under the 2017 Deferred Annual Bonus Plan granted in 2023.

How were GSK (GLAXF) deferred bonus awards structured for 2023 grants?

Under the shareholder-approved 2022 Remuneration Policy, the 2023 awards were mandatory bonus deferrals. UK and most non-US executives received nil-cost options over Ordinary Shares, while US-based participants received restricted awards over American Depositary Shares, all subject to a three-year restricted period.

Why did GSK (GLAXF) executives sell shares after the awards vested?

After the awards vested on 9 February 2026, portions of the resulting Ordinary Shares and ADS were sold to meet tax liabilities arising from the vesting and option exercises. The filing states that these transactions were specifically undertaken to satisfy those tax obligations.

At what prices were GSK (GLAXF) shares and ADS involved in these transactions?

The filing notes closing prices on 9 February 2026 of £21.59 for GSK Ordinary Shares and $59.01 for ADS. Example sale transactions to meet tax liabilities occurred around these levels, such as Ordinary Shares sold at £22.1140 and ADS sold at $59.0729.
