Standard Life has disclosed that Group Chief Executive Officer Andrew Briggs and Group General Counsel Quentin Zentner have exercised nil-cost options over ordinary shares under the company’s Long Term Incentive Plan and Deferred Bonus Share Scheme.

The transactions, conducted on 26 March 2026 on the London Stock Exchange at around 670 pence per share, form part of Standard Life’s routine executive remuneration and incentive structure. The disclosure, made under UK Market Abuse Regulation requirements, provides transparency on senior management equity dealings but does not signal any change in corporate strategy or governance beyond normal incentive plan operations.
