Statement of directors’ shareholding and share interests
The Committee believes it is important that executives build up a significant holding in Experian shares, to align their interests with
those of shareholders. Therefore, the Committee has established guidelines under which the Chief Executive Officer should hold the
equivalent of three times his base salary in Experian shares and other executive directors should hold two times their base salary
(including invested shares held under the CIP). Until the shareholding guideline is met an executive director is expected to retain at
least 50% of any shares vesting (net of tax) under a share award. Unvested shares are not taken into account in determining whether
the guideline has been met.
Don Robert and Chris Callero significantly exceed these guidelines. Brian Cassin is building his shareholding up to the level required
by the guidelines.
Experian also has guidelines for its non-executive directors to build up a holding in the Company’s shares equal to their annual fee.
Each financial year the first quarter’s net fee is used to purchase Experian shares until they reach this holding.
The interests of the directors (and their connected persons) in the Company’s ordinary shares are shown below. Shares are valued
for these purposes at the closing share price on 31 March 2014 which was £10.81.
