As described in Section A: Directors' Remuneration Policy, the Board operates a shareholding retention policy under which Executive Directors and other senior executives are expected, within five years of appointment, to build up a shareholding in the Company. In respect of Executive Directors, the expectation is to hold at least 100% of basic salary. For the purposes of this requirement, only beneficially-owned shares will be counted. As at 31 December 2014, the Committee is satisfied that Executive Directors have fulfilled this requirement.

Comparison of overall performance and pay

The chart below shows the value over the last seven financial years of £100 invested in Bodycote plc compared with that of £100 invested in the FTSE All Share Industrial index. The Committee has chosen this index as the most reasonable comparison in terms of performance. The points plotted represent the values at each financial year end.

Comparison of overall performance

The table below shows how total remuneration for the Group Chief Executive has developed over the last five years.

20102011201220132014
Single figure of remuneration £0009063,2523,8403,0891,803
Annual variable element award (as a % of maximum) opportunity98%95%73%46%73%
Long-term incentive vesting (as a % of maximum)0%100%100%99%44%

The total value of salary, non-pension benefits and bonus increased by 25.1% for the Group Chief Executive in 2014 compared to the previous financial year (2013: £765,657; 2014: £957,998). The equivalent average percentage change for the senior management population as a whole was a 17.1% increase on 2013. The salary increase for the Group Chief Executive in 2014 compared to the previous financial year was 3.0% (2013: £470,200; 2014: £484,306). Non-pension benefits decreased by 0.9% for the Group Chief Executive in 2014 compared to 2013 (2013: £17,364; 2014: £17,214). Bonus payable increased by 36.1% for the Group Chief Executive in 2014 compared to 2013 (2013: £278,093; 2014: £456,478).

Relative importance of pay spend

The table below shows the total expenditure in relation to staff and employee costs, distributions to shareholders and the Group's corporation tax paid in 2013 and 2014.

* The decrease in corporation taxes paid in 2014 compared 2013 to 2014 is a timing issue, as US quarterly estimates of tax due in 2013 were overestimated, resulting in a £5.6m overpayment. The 2013 overpayment has been offset against 2014 US tax payments.
