Vesting of the 2016 performance share plan awards
Polymetal announces that 2016 share awards under the Company's Performance
Share Plan ("PSP"), part of the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan, have
vested.
During the four-year performance period ending 28 April 2020 for the PSP
awards made in 2016, Polymetal achieved a positive absolute Total
Shareholder Return ("TSR") of 107.9% and outperformed a median TSR of
49.7% of the FTSE Gold Mines Index constituents. As a result, Polymetal
ranked 7th by TSR out of 45 index participants.
Accordingly, the 2016 performance share awards have partially vested with
89.7% of the total awards being granted, which includes 75.9% vesting
percentage based on the TSR performance and additional share awards for
the dividend equivalent paid during the 4-year performance period.
1,407,784 ordinary shares were issued and distributed to 267 participants
of the PSP on 30 April 2020, representing 0.30% of the Company's increased
share capital. The newly issued shares have a market value of
US$28.6 million, based on the closing price as of 30 April 2020.
"In its third year our PSP programme rewards performance of Polymetal's
employees which have significantly contributed to strong shareholder
returns", said Vitaly Nesis, Group CEO of Polymetal.
Performance Share Plan
Under the PSP, awards are released following a four-year performance
period (with an additional mandatory holding period of one year following
vesting), subject to certain performance measures being met. The vesting
of awards is based on the Company's TSR measured against the TSR of the
FTSE Gold Mines Index constituents, as well as the Company's absolute TSR
over the same performance period. The vesting conditions were set as
follows:
• 0% vests for below median performance;
• 20% vests at median performance;
• 100% vests at top decile performance and above; and
• Straight line vesting in between median and top decile.
• No award vests if an absolute TSR is negative even if performance is
above median.
No consideration is payable for the vesting of the awards by the
beneficiaries. In certain cases of Good Leaver Circumstances, the award
will usually vest as normal in accordance with the terms of the award.
Alternatively, the Board may determine that the award will vest
immediately. For more details on the PSP, please see Polymetal's 2019
Annual Report and Accounts available on the Company's website at
1 www.polymetalinternational.com. Further to the 2016 award vesting,
