FAQ

What did GSK (GSK) disclose in its February 2026 Form 6-K?

Under the plan, Executive Directors must defer 50% of bonus up to 200% of salary into shares, with any portion above 200% fully deferred. Other Executive Committee members defer 25% up to 170% of salary, with any bonus above 170% fully deferred, all for a three-year period.

Were GSK (GSK) executives buying shares on the market in this filing?

Over what period are GSK executives required to defer their bonus share awards?

Executives are required to defer their share-based bonus awards for three years. During this deferral period, the awards remain in the form of Ordinary Shares or ADS, with dividend reinvestment accruing, before executives can ultimately benefit from the underlying equity granted to them.
