Executive Summary
Smith & Nephew filed a 6-K concluding its shareholder consultation on the 2026 Directors' Remuneration Policy and Performance Share Plan, which received less than 80% support at the May 2026 AGM. The Board adopted the plans as originally approved and granted CEO Deepak Nath top-up awards: a PSP award of 323,728 shares (350% of salary) and an RSP award of 23,123 shares (25% of salary). This is a routine governance update with no material financial impact on the company's operations or stock.

- Company consulted with shareholders comprising ~70% of issued share capital from 18 May to 27 July 2026; only one dissenting shareholder engaged.
- Board resolved to adopt and implement the Policy and PSP on the terms approved at the AGM.
- CEO Deepak Nath granted a PSP top-up award of 323,728 shares at £12.744 (350% of salary, total 2026 PSP awards = 650% of salary).
- CEO granted an RSP top-up award of 23,123 shares at £12.744 (25% of salary, total 2026 RSP awards = 150% of salary).
