Majestic Wine CEO shares bonus with staff

Majestic Wine chief executive officer Rowan Gormley has requested that his share award bonus be distributed among 493 eligible employees, potentially netting each member of staff approximately £14,000.

The share awards will take the form of a one-off payment to current employees who are members of the organisation’s long-term incentive plan, which is available to staff at store manager level or above.

Delivery of the bonus is dependent on the group achieving its total shareholder return performance criteria between the financial years 2017 to 2019, with the award vesting between March 2019 and 2021.
