Share plans (continued)
(a) SGX Performance Share Plan
The current SGX Performance Share Plan ("SGX PSP 2015") was adopted at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 23 September 2015. Through the SGX PSP 2015, the Company recognises and rewards key senior management for achievements and contributions to the SGX Group and motivates them to continue to strive for the SGX Group's long-term prosperity, and at the same time meet guidelines on the deferral of employees' variable compensation in line with prevailing regulatory requirements. In addition, the SGX PSP 2015 aims to foster an ownership culture which aligns the interest of employees with the interest of shareholders.
Eligibility
Senior management having rank of Senior Vice President and above, who have been in the full time employment of the SGX Group for a period of at least 1 year (or such shorter period as the RSDC may determine), are eligible to participate in the SGX PSP 2015.
Fully paid SGX shares, their equivalent cash value or combinations thereof will be awarded and vest, free of charge, provided that certain prescribed performance targets are met and upon expiry of the prescribed vesting period(s). The amount released, if in the form of cash, is based on the market value of such shares on vesting date.
Unless otherwise decided by the RSDC, the entitlement to this award is conditional on the participant remaining in service up to the specified vesting date.
Restrictions
The total number of new SGX shares which may be issued pursuant to awards granted under SGX PSP 2015 on any date, when added to the total number of new shares issued and issuable in respect of all awards granted, shall not exceed 10% of SGX's issued share capital on the day preceding the relevant date of award.
For grants under SGX PSP 2015, the vesting period is four years and any shares that have been released to the participants are not subject to a retention period.
Share grant and vesting
The RSDC approves all grants and has absolute discretion in the granting and award of performance shares.
