Share-based payments | 27. Share-based payments In 2023, the new Deferred Award Plan rules (‘DAP’) replaced the IHG Annual Performance Plan (‘APP’) and Long Term Incentive Plan (‘LTIP’) as a simplified, combined set of plan rules which govern the Company’s discretionary incentive plans. Awards granted under the DAP can consist of Deferred Annual Incentive (‘DAI’), Long-Term Incentive (‘LTI’), Restricted Stock Unit (‘RSU’) and other ad hoc awards. The DAP rules were approved at the AGM on 5 May 2023, with all LTI and RSU awards granted after this date and DAI awards granted in respect of 2024 and future APP years being subject to the rules of the DAP. All previously granted awards are subject to the LTIP and APP rules respectively. Annual Performance/Deferred Annual Incentive Awards Eligible employees (including Executive Directors) may receive all or part of their bonus in the form of deferred shares and/or receive one-off awards of shares. Deferred shares in relation to annual performance-related bonus plans are released on the third anniversary of the award date. Awards are conditional on the participants remaining in the employment of a participating company or leaving for a qualifying reason. The grant of deferred shares under the APP/DAP is at the discretion of the Remuneration Committee. The number of shares is calculated by dividing a specific percentage of the participant’s annual performance-related bonus award by the average of the middle market quoted prices on the three consecutive business days following the announcement of the Group’s results for the relevant financial year. Long Term Incentive and Restricted Stock Units Executive Directors and eligible employees may receive conditional share awards, which normally have a vesting period of three years, subject to continued employment. In addition, certain LTI awards made to Executive Directors are normally subject to a further two-year holding period after vesting. LTI awards are subject to performance-based vesting conditions set by the Remuneration Committee, which are normally measured over the vesting period. Awards are normally made annually and, except in exceptional circumstances, do not exceed the limit set out in the Directors’ Remuneration Policy and DAP Rules. Colleague Share Plan The Colleague Share Plan gives eligible corporate employees the opportunity to purchase shares up to an annual limit. After the end of the plan year, the participant will be awarded the right to receive one matching share for every purchased share (subject to continued employment). If the participant holds the purchased shares until the second anniversary of the end of the plan year, the conditional right to matching shares vests. The total fair value of the Colleague Share Plan is not significant.
|  | More detailed information on the performance measures for awards to Executive Directors is shown in the Directors’ Remuneration Report on pages 144 to 149.
