INITIAL NOTIFICATION OF TRANSACTIONS OF PERSONS DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITY (PDMRs) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE 19 OF THE EU MARKET ABUSE REGULATION 596/2014
 
 
1.  NatWest Group plc (the Company) announces that conditional long term incentive (LTI) or deferred awards (Deferred Awards) over ordinary shares of £1 each in the Company (Shares) (ISIN: GB00B7T77214), have been granted on 8 March 2021 under the NatWest Group plc 2014 Employee Share Plan (the Plan) to the PDMRs set out below:-

The price per Share used on the grant of the above awards was £1.6746. The price is discounted to reflect the absence of dividend equivalents during the deferral period.
 
In April 2020, Alison Rose (CEO, NatWest Group plc) informed the Company that she did not wish to receive a 2021 LTI award.
 
The LTI awards were determined with reference to the performance of the relevant PDMRs against pre-determined performance targets.  This was then subject to an overall pay restraint reduction to reflect the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. A pre-vest performance assessment will take place for the LTI awards at the end of three years. Subject to this, LTI awards will be eligible to vest between 2024 and 2028. 
 
The Deferred Awards were also determined with reference to an equivalent overall pay restraint reduction and will be eligible to vest between 2021 and 2028.
 
Malus provisions will apply to both LTI and Deferred Awards up until vesting and clawback provisions will apply for a period of seven years from the date of grant, this can be extended to ten years in certain circumstances. Vested Shares retained after payment of associated tax liabilities will be subject to a twelve-month retention period. 
  
2. The Company announces that LTI and Deferred Awards, including buy-outs, over Shares vested on 8 March 2021 to the PDMRs set out below. The awards were granted under the Plan between March 2016 and November 2020. The number of Shares withheld to meet associated tax liabilities arising on vesting and the number of vested Shares retained by each PDMR is set out below:-

1.     Vested Shares retained after payment of associated tax liabilities will, where applicable, be subject to retention periods which mirror the retention periods applicable to the PDMR's awards granted by their previous employer.
2.     The award was granted when the PDMR was resident in Jersey and therefore is taxable in Jersey only and not in the UK. No employer tax withholding is required under Jersey law. The Jersey income tax payable in respect of the vesting of the award will be paid by the PDMR directly to the Jersey tax authority.
 
The market price used to meet associated tax liabilities was  £1.8978. 
 
Vested Shares retained after payment of associated tax liabilities will be subject to retention periods of between six and twelve months.
 
3.  The Company announces that Shares were delivered to PDMRs on 8 March 2021, as set out below. The Shares delivered represent payment of a fixed share allowance for the three month period ending 31 March 2021 and have been calculated using a share price of £1.8660.
 
The number of Shares delivered, the number of Shares withheld to meet associated tax liabilities and the number of Shares retained by each PDMR is as follows:-

Update on FCA investigation into NatWest Group's compliance with the Money Laundering Regulations 2007
 
 
The Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") has notified NatWest Group plc ("NatWest Group") that it has commenced criminal proceedings against National Westminster Bank Plc for offences under regulation 45(1) of the Money Laundering Regulations 2007 ("MLR 2007") for alleged failures to comply with regulations 8(1), 8(3) and 14(1) of the MLR 2007 between 11 November 2011 and 19 October 2016, arising from the handling of the accounts of a UK incorporated customer.
 
Since being notified of this investigation in July 2017, NatWest Group has disclosed that the FCA was undertaking an investigation into NatWest Group's compliance with the MLR 2007. NatWest Group has been co-operating with the FCA's investigation to date.
 
NatWest Group takes extremely seriously its responsibility to seek to prevent money laundering by third parties and accordingly has made significant, multi-year investments in its financial crime systems and controls.

Exhibit No. 10
  
 
 
NatWest Group plc
 
 
19 March 2021
 
 
Off-market purchase of 590,730,325 ordinary shares from Her Majesty's Treasury ("HM Treasury")
 
 
NatWest Group plc (the "Company" or "NWG") has agreed with HM Treasury to make an off-market purchase (the "Off-Market Purchase") for the total consideration of £1,125,341,269 for 590,730,325 ordinary shares in the Company with a nominal value of £1 each ("Ordinary Shares") at a price of 190.50 pence per Ordinary Share, being yesterday's closing price of the Ordinary Shares on the London Stock Exchange.
 
The purchased Ordinary Shares represent 4.86 per cent of the Company's issued share capital. The Off-Market Purchase is expected to settle on 23 March 2021.
 
A contract (the "Directed Buyback Contract") between the Company and HM Treasury was approved by the shareholders of the Company at a General Meeting held on 6 February 2019 and signed on 7 February 2019. The authority from shareholders to make off-market purchases of Ordinary Shares from HM Treasury (or its nominee) under the terms of the Directed Buyback Contract was renewed at the Annual General Meeting on 29 April 2020.
 
NWG intends to cancel 390,730,325 of the purchased Ordinary Shares and hold the remaining 200,000,000 Ordinary Shares in treasury. Holding Ordinary Shares as treasury shares gives the Company the ability to cancel such shares at a later date, or re-issue treasury shares quickly and cost effectively, and may provide the Company with additional flexibility in the management of its capital base, including the allotment of Ordinary Shares in relation to its employee share plans.
 
Under chapter 11 of the Listing Rules, the Directed Buyback Contract constitutes a related party transaction. However, the Off-Market Purchase is treated as a smaller related party transaction under LR 11.1.10 R.
 
Following settlement of the above transaction:
 
-
NWG will hold 200,000,000 of its Ordinary Shares as treasury shares;
-
NWG will have in issue 11,575,835,427 Ordinary Shares (excluding treasury shares); 900,000 Cumulative Preference Shares of £1; and 10,130 Category II Non-cum Preference Shares of US$0.01 in issue; and
-
HM Treasury will hold 6,918,753,194 Ordinary Shares, representing 59.77 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital excluding treasury shares.
 
Based on NWG's position on 31 December 2020, NWG's CET1 ratio will be reduced by 66 basis points and tangible equity per share will increase by around 4 pence.
 
Contribution to the main pension scheme
The Off-Market Purchase of Ordinary Shares has triggered NWG to contribute £500 million to its main pension scheme in line with the memorandum of understanding announced on 17 April 2018.  After tax relief, this contribution will reduce tangible equity by £365 million.  CET1 will be reduced by £99 million as £266 million (equivalent to £364 million before tax relief) was recognised as a CET1 capital deduction as at 31 December 2020.  These will be recognised as part of the NWG Q1 2021 results. 
 
The combined impact of the Off-Market Purchase and the pension contribution, based on the NWG position at 31 December 2020, equates to a CET1 ratio reduction of 72 basis points and around a 1 pence increase in tangible equity per share.
 
The person responsible for arranging the release of this announcement on behalf of NWG is Alexander Holcroft, Head of Investor Relations.

In conformity with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, NatWest Group plc ("NWG") hereby notifies the following update in respect of its issued share capital with voting rights as at 23 March 2021.
 
The changes in the issued share capital are a result of settlement today of the off-market purchase of 590,730,325 ordinary shares of £1 each ("Ordinary Shares") on 19 March 2021, pursuant to the terms of a contract (the "Directed Buyback Contract") between NWG and Her Majesty's Treasury (HM Treasury), which was approved by NWG's shareholders at a General Meeting held on 6 February 2019 and signed on 7 February 2019. The authority from shareholders to make off-market purchases of Ordinary Shares from HM Treasury (or its nominee) under the terms of the Directed Buyback Contract was renewed at the Annual General Meeting on 29 April 2020. 
 
NWG cancelled 390,730,325 of the purchased Ordinary Shares and holds the remaining 200,000,000 Ordinary Shares in treasury.
