Following changes to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and PRA Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) remuneration rules, firms now have greater flexibility over variable remuneration, deferral periods, vesting and retention period structures, particularly for material risk takers and senior management functions. With the bonus cap removed and the new rules applying from the 2026 performance year, remuneration committees are being asked to revisit long\u2011standing assumptions about fixed pay, variable pay, total pay and the treatment of deferred awards and bonus awards, including the design of bonus deferral arrangements. At the same time, expectations around risk\u2011taking, individual accountability, proportionality and risk management remain firmly in place, including the treatment of risk events. This article explores what has changed under the PRA\u2019s remuneration rules and the FCA rules, what discretion is genuinely available under the remuneration code and how remuneration committees can approach decisions on vesting, deferral and legacy deferred awards in a way that is defensible, proportionate and aligned with their firm\u2019s risk profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-eyebrow\" id=\"h-the-reform-backdrop-what-s-changed-what-s-optional-and-what-s-still-expected\">The reform backdrop, what\u2019s changed, what\u2019s optional and what\u2019s still expected<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-eyebrow-no-border\" id=\"h-the-context\">The context<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the last two years, the UK regulators have reshaped the bank remuneration framework and overall remuneration regime to make it \u201cmore effective, simple and proportionate,\u201d and to align risk and reward while improving UK competitiveness across financial services. Key changes include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the removal of the bonus cap<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>simplification of MRT identification, including a shift away from purely quantitative criteria<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>shorter, simpler deferral rules and retention expectations, including a shift away from purely quantitative criteria and a sharper focus on the high earners<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>higher thresholds for heavier deferral<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>streamlining of FCA rules to cross\u2011refer to the PRA regime and PRA rulebook, reducing regulatory duplication<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Most measures apply mandatorily to performance years beginning after 16 October 2025 (i.e., 2026 for calendar\u2011year firms), with discretion to adopt some proposed changes sooner and even to unvested past awards, subject to governance and shareholder approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-eyebrow-no-border\" id=\"h-at-a-glance-reforms\">At\u2011a\u2011glance reforms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bonus cap removed<\/strong> (effective 31 October 2023): firms must instead set an \u201cappropriate\u201d fixed\/variable ratio within the Code\u2019s risk\u2011alignment tools (deferral, instruments, malus\/clawback)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>MRT scope simplified<\/strong>: stronger governance around firm\u2011owned MRT identification, with focus on qualitative criteria and a \u201ctop 0.3% earners\u201d consideration; fewer staff expected to be in scope relative to CRD\u2011era quantitative thresholds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Deferral and vesting<\/strong>: a single minimum four\u2011year deferral for all MRTs (replacing 7\u20138 years for the most senior), pro\u2011rata vesting from year one for SMFs now permitted, no mandatory retention for deferred instruments (retention still expected for upfront instruments), and ability to pay dividends\/interest on deferred instruments. Some elements may be adopted early, including for unvested legacy awards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Heavy deferral threshold raised<\/strong>: the 60% deferral rate now applies above GPB 660,000, with 40% on the first GBP 660,000 (marginal application)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>FCA Handbook streamlined<\/strong> (SYSC 19D largely cross\u2011refers to PRA rules)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-eyebrow-no-border\" id=\"h-european-union-lens-if-you-have-eu-entities\">European Union lens (if you have EU entities)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The EU (under CRD V\/VI and EBA Guidelines) retains a stricter model, bonus cap, de minimis proportionality rules, and four-to-five-year minimum deferrals, so UK\u2011group designs must still manage cross\u2011border inconsistencies and potential exemption differences across jurisdictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-eyebrow\" id=\"h-the-decision-facing-remuneration-nbsp-committees-now-accelerate-vesting-of-historic-deferred-awards\">The decision facing Remuneration&nbsp;Committees now: accelerate vesting of historic deferred awards?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With shorter deferral allowances and more flexible vesting now available under the final rules, many RemCos are asking whether to accelerate vesting on legacy deferrals (awards from prior cycles still in the pipeline). The regulators have signalled that certain reforms <em>may<\/em> be applied to awards \u201cnot yet vested,\u201d giving boards legal room to consider acceleration, subject to governance, malus, clawback periods and fairness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are the principal arguments for and against acceleration, and how to balance them where role\u2011based allowances (RBAs) remain part of the pay mix for some MRTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-eyebrow-no-border\" id=\"h-arguments-for-accelerating-vesting-of-legacy-deferrals\">Arguments for accelerating vesting of legacy deferrals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Strategic alignment with the new regime:<\/strong> if the policy goal is to pivot back toward variable pay (after the bonus cap drove fixed\u2011pay inflation through salaries and RBAs), allowing faster access to deferred variable pay, demonstrates realignment and may support competitiveness and recruitment\/retention in global markets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Employee value proposition and portability:<\/strong> senior hires increasingly benchmark to US\/Asia structures with shorter deferral and more front\u2011loaded vesting. Early vesting (subject to malus\/clawback) can make UK packages more comparable without expanding fixed pay<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Simplicity and administrative burden:<\/strong> fewer overlapping vesting schedules reduce complexity and compliance cost, an explicit aim of the reforms and FCA rulebook streamlining<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Risk alignment maintained: <\/strong>the core risk levers remain. They include malus, clawback (up to seven-to-ten years for senior roles in historical frameworks) and payment in instruments. Boards can keep robust triggers and extend hold\u2011through policies for upfront instruments to preserve alignment<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-eyebrow-no-border\" id=\"h-arguments-against-accelerating-vesting\">Arguments against accelerating vesting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cost, liquidity and profit\u2011pool impact: <\/strong>large MRT populations imply large unvested \u201ctails.\u201d Accelerating vesting compresses cash\/share outflows into near\u2011term periods, potentially reducing future\u2011year profit pools and straining CET1\u2011conscious funding envelopes (especially if the firm already increased fixed pay\/RBAs during the cap era)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Optics and conduct risk: <\/strong>public and supervisor scrutiny may intensify if acceleration appears to \u201cenrich\u201d bankers, particularly if performance is volatile. RemCos must evidence that changes do not weaken risk alignment and remain consistent with the firm\u2019s risk appetite statements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cross\u2011border complexity<\/strong>: for groups with EU entities, accelerating UK awards while EU rules still demand longer deferral\/bonus cap compliance can create internal inequity and mobility frictions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Contractual and plan rule constraints:<\/strong> many legacy plans hard\u2011code vesting schedules or retention periods. Any modification must respect plan rules, shareholder\u2011approved terms, and listing\/market abuse controls on discretionary changes. (Regulatory sources underscore governance and documentation standards, even as they allow discretion)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Impact on buy\u2011out valuations and re\u2011notification duties:<\/strong> where former MRTs have moved to another employer and a Remuneration Statement has already been issued for buy\u2011out valuation, any later change to vesting structures, deferral periods or award values may require the firm to re\u2011notify the hiring employer. This introduces an additional administrative step, particularly if the revised terms materially alter the value of unvested awards previously relied upon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Employment contract and incentive plan updates:<\/strong> employers will need to review contracts, plan rules, leaver provisions and deferral clauses to ensure alignment with the new regulatory framework. Updated minimum deferral or retention periods must be reflected in documentation so that future awards remain compliant and do not create misalignment or disputes for MRTs who leave<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-eyebrow\" id=\"h-strategic-pacing-and-market-positioning\">Strategic pacing and market positioning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Early adoption may improve competitiveness but risks administrative complexity and inconsistent treatment of legacy awards. Moving too slowly risks falling behind market practice as peers adopt shorter deferral models. While many firms may take a wait\u2011and\u2011see approach, they should still quantify the potential impact on buy\u2011outs, profit pools, cross\u2011border populations and risk governance before adjusting schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-eyebrow\" id=\"h-the-rba-question-balancing-role-based-allowances-with-accelerated-vesting\">The RBA question: balancing role\u2011based allowances with accelerated vesting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-eyebrow-no-border\" id=\"h-what-rbas-are-and-why-they-matter\">What RBAs are (and why they matter)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>RBAs proliferated in the bonus\u2011cap era as quasi\u2011fixed pay to preserve total comp competitiveness. EBA guidance historically pushed firms to classify many allowances as variable, not fixed, to respect the cap, complicating structures and adding regulatory scrutiny. Even though the UK removed the cap, RBAs still exist in many packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-eyebrow-no-border\" id=\"h-tension-point\">Tension point<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you accelerate legacy variable awards while keeping RBAs at cap\u2011era levels, total <em>effective<\/em> liquidity to MRTs could spike and undermine the reform\u2019s intention to pivot value back to risk\u2011adjustable variable pay. Several law\u2011firm and regulator summaries emphasise that the policy intent is to rebalance away from fixed components that cannot be risk\u2011adjusted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-eyebrow-no-border\" id=\"h-balancing-actions-to-consider\">Balancing actions to consider<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sunset or taper RBAs over one to two cycles as accelerated vesting is implemented, restoring a healthier fixed and variable mix and preserving malus and clawback reach over a larger slice of total remuneration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Convert RBA value to variable allowances or upfront instruments within the Code, then rely on deferral and instruments to keep risk alignment while improving perceived fairness across cohorts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Guardrails: keep meaningful retention on upfront instruments (as the PRA continues to expect) and maintain malus and clawback triggers aligned to conduct, risk and financial outcomes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-eyebrow\" id=\"h-a-practical-decision-matrix-for-remuneration-committees\">A practical decision matrix for Remuneration Committees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"652\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frazerjones.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/Regulatory-reward-reforms-matrix-image-1-1024x652.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-166632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.frazerjones.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/Regulatory-reward-reforms-matrix-image-1-1024x652.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.frazerjones.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/Regulatory-reward-reforms-matrix-image-1-300x191.png 300w, https:\/\/www.frazerjones.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/Regulatory-reward-reforms-matrix-image-1-768x489.png 768w, https:\/\/www.frazerjones.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/Regulatory-reward-reforms-matrix-image-1.png 1387w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-eyebrow\" id=\"h-implementation-playbook-how-to-decide-and-defend-your-path\">Implementation playbook: how to decide (and defend) your path<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-eyebrow-no-border\" id=\"h-segment-and-model-the-mrt-population\">Segment and model the MRT population<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You should segment and model the MRT population by role\/seniority (SMFs vs other MRTs), by legacy plan type and by jurisdiction.

To manage this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Phase the change<\/strong>: e.g., accelerate only the next scheduled tranche per award year rather than the entire pipeline; or cap the annual acceleration quantum per individual<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Offset with RBA tapering<\/strong> to control total compensation liquidity while improving risk\u2011adjustability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use instruments creatively:<\/strong> more instruments in deferred portions, maintain\/introduce minimum post\u2011vest holding periods for upfront instruments as expected by the PRA<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Apply proportionality: <\/strong>leverage the raised de minimis thresholds and simplified MRT scope to focus heavier structures on genuine risk takers; this was a central theme of the consultation and final policy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-eyebrow\" id=\"h-recommended-next-steps-90-day-plan\">Recommended next steps (90\u2011day plan)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Diagnostics: <\/strong>complete a full inventory of unvested awards by cohort; map to proposed target schedules consistent with the 4\u2011year minimum and marginal 60% threshold<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Scenario modelling: <\/strong>build P&amp;L, CET1, share usage and pool impact under three scenarios (no acceleration \/ limited \/ full).

Acceleration of legacy deferrals can fit into that agenda, but it should be selective, budget\u2011aware and coupled with an RBA strategy that prevents total compensation liquidity from ballooning. If you can evidence strong malus\/clawback, thoughtful MRT scoping and credible financial capacity, you\u2019ll be well placed to implement the new framework and to defend it to supervisors, shareholders and employees alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-eyebrow-no-border\" id=\"h-sources-and-further-reading\">Sources and further reading<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul
