PRIMARY HEALTH PROPERTIES PLC - Director Dealings - LTIP
What this filing means
Primary Health Properties has awarded nil-cost options over 1,400,871 shares to chief executive Mark Davies and 857,843 to chief financial officer Richard Howell under its 2021 Long-term Incentive Plan. The awards were sized off a £0.9180 reference price, the three-day average closing quote for 22, 23 and 26 October 2026, and vest only against performance conditions measured over three years to 31 December 2028. No shares change hands and no cash is paid at grant.
The two most senior executives have been handed the right to receive shares later, free, but only if the company hits targets set for the three years to the end of 2028. Nothing is bought or sold today and no money changes hands, so this is a pay-design disclosure rather than news about the business. What matters to a holder is whether those targets turn out to be demanding, and the filing does not say what they are.
Bear case
- The filing does not state the performance conditions the options vest against, so how demanding the award is cannot be judged.

SENS-AI conclusion
A standard LTIP grant notice, not a signal about the business. Two executives have been given nil-cost options sized off a £0.9180 reference price, with vesting deferred to performance over three years to December 2028 and a malus discretion retained by the remuneration committee. Nothing here speaks to rent collection, the joint-venture programme or the debt targets management set out in October. So what: the next real test is the full-year results and the annual report, where the performance conditions behind these awards should be spelled out.
The filing points to the 2025 Report and Accounts for how the LTIP operates; the award-specific performance conditions are not set out here.
Evidence from the filing
The awards are nil-cost options, not shares bought or sold.
“awards of nil-cost options under the Company’s 2021 Long-term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) to Directors as follows”
Vesting is deferred and conditional.
“The nil-cost options will vest subject to the attainment of performance conditions measured over three years to 31 December 2028.”
The reference price used to size the awards.
“The number of nil-cost options were calculated by reference to a price of £0.9180, being the average of the closing middle market quotations for the Company’s ordinary shares on 22, 23 and 26 October 2026.”
The committee retains a downward discretion at vesting.
“The remuneration committee has the discretion to adjust the awards downwards at vesting for malus reasons.”
The filing points to the annual report for how the plan operates rather than setting out the conditions.
“Details of the operation of the LTIP are set out in the Company’s 2025 Report and Accounts.”
