Rakon (NZX: RAK) Long term Incentive Plan
The Directors of Rakon are pleased to announce they have approved the introduction of a new long-term incentive plan (LTI Plan).
The Directors believe the LTI Plan will promote the retention of key employees across Rakon’s global team and drive longer-term performance and alignment of incentives with the interests of the company’s shareholders.
Under the Rules of the LTI Plan, the Board will issue share rights to selected key employees of Rakon. The Board will determine whether the vesting conditions, including a performance hurdle based on relative total shareholder return against the NZX50, have been satisfied over a three-year vesting period.
Each share right that vests will entitle the holder to one ordinary share in the company. There is also provision for the Board to determine that selected participants should receive a payment rather than shares where additional regulatory requirements would apply to their receipt of shares.
The issue of share rights under the LTI Plan for 2021 is expected to be on 16 December 2021.
