Person Discharging Managerial Responsibilities regulatory
"Details of PDMR/person closely associated with them ('PCA')"
A person discharging managerial responsibilities is an individual who holds a senior role with authority to make or influence a company’s strategic or operational decisions, such as executives, board members, or other top managers. Investors care because these people often have access to confidential information and their buying or selling of company shares must be disclosed—like a referee who knows the score before the crowd, their actions can signal important, non-public insights about a company's prospects.
Executive Supplemental Savings Plan financial
"Acquisition of notional ADS within GSK Executive Supplemental Savings Plan account"

"Acquisition of notional ADS ... following the reinvestment of dividends"
401(k) plan financial
"Acquisition of ADS within Dr Barron's GSK 401(k) plan account"
A 401(k) plan is a workplace retirement account that lets employees set aside part of their pay into a tax-advantaged savings pot, often with employers adding matching contributions — like a workplace piggy bank for future income. It matters to investors because the amount people save and how employers fund these plans influence consumer spending, corporate payroll costs and the flow of money into financial markets, which can affect stock prices and company valuations.
