ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS
On February 14, 2014, The Procter & Gamble Company’s (the "Company") Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, A.G. Lafley, exercised stock options for 92,896 shares of P&G common stock. A portion of the shares were sold to cover the option cost and tax liability for the exercise, and the remaining shares were added to Mr. Lafley’s current holdings, which now total 779,619 shares. These options, which were granted to Mr. Lafley during his prior tenure as CEO in 2004, were due to expire later this year. As part of his financial planning, Mr. Lafley exercised these options in order to ensure that they would not expire, given that he is subject to limited trading windows under the Company’s trading policy.
Mr. Lafley will have a sale of approximately 90,000 shares later this month to cover the tax obligations resulting from the settlement of a Restricted Stock Unit grant and an annual distribution of deferred compensation, each awarded during his prior tenure as CEO. Mr. Lafley has additional options that will expire in February 2015, and he will look at opportunities to exercise those options in the coming months, prior to expiration.
Each of these transactions will be reported on Form 4s, in compliance with SEC rules. Additional detail regarding Mr. Lafley’s holdings, including his outstanding stock option grants, Restricted Stock Units, and deferred compensation, are provided in the Company’s 2013 Proxy Statement.
