Vertu Motors has disclosed that Ocorian Limited, trustee of the company’s employee benefit trust, purchased 14,100 ordinary shares at 58.6293 pence each on 25 March 2026. The shares, which lift the trust’s holding to 4,136,825 shares or 1.32% of the issued capital, will be used to satisfy awards under the long-term incentive plan and other employee share options.
The transaction underscores Vertu Motors’ ongoing use of equity-based remuneration to align executive directors and other senior managers with shareholder interests. With 312,310,046 voting shares in issue and no treasury stock held, the modest increase in the trust’s stake has negligible dilution impact but signals continued commitment to performance-linked incentives across the leadership team.
