Conditional Share Awards

As previously announced, on 15 February 2017 the Company granted conditional awards to certain Executive Directors and Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ('PDMR'). This announcement relates to a PDMR who elected to participate in the GlaxoSmithKline 2009 Deferred Annual Bonus Plan ('DABP') in respect of his bonus on a post-tax basis. The awards have been granted in accordance with the rules of the DABP which was approved by shareholders on 20 May 2009.

Participants are required to defer 25% of any bonus earned into Ordinary Shares or ADSs and may be eligible to choose to invest up to an additional 25% (i.e. up to a maximum of 50%) pre-tax (Deferred Bonus Award) and/or post-tax (Co-investment shares).

The Company will match the Deferred Bonus Award or Co-investment shares up to one-for-one depending on the achievement of performance targets (Matching Award). Details of the performance measures will be confirmed later in the year following shareholder approval of the Remuneration Policy at the Company's Annual General Meeting.

The performance period for the awards is the three financial years from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2019.

The awards of deferred, co-investment and matching shares have been granted as conditional awards over ADSs for US pre-tax participants and as nil-cost options over Ordinary Shares for all other participants.

The vesting date for these conditional awards will be the later of the date, following the end of the three year performance period, on which the Remuneration Committee determines the extent to which the performance measures have been achieved, the third anniversary of the Award Date or such other later date as determined by the Remuneration Committee.

The amounts shown below are the maximum amounts payable (exclusive of dividend reinvestment during the performance period). The actual pay-out will be determined by performance over the period. Progress against targets will be reported in the Company's Annual Report yearly.
