On 28 February 2022, the Board of Directors of Enersense International Plc approved two sharebased incentive plans directed to the Group's key employees. Further, on 27 February 2023, the Board decided on a new Performance Share Plan 2023–2025, which is a continuation of the Performance Share Plan 2022–2025. The aim of the share-based incentive plans is to align the objectives of the shareholders and key employees to increase the value of the company in the long-term, to retain the key employees at the company and to offer them competitive incentive plans that are based on earning and accumulating the company's shares.
The rewards will be paid partly in Enersense International Plc shares and partly in cash. The cash proportions of the rewards are intended for covering taxes and tax-related expenses arising from the rewards to the participants. In general, no reward is paid if the participant's employment or director contract terminates before the reward payment.
The Performance Share Plan 2022–2025 consisted of one performance period, covering the financial years 2022–2023.
In the plan, the target group was given an opportunity to earn Enersense International Plc shares based on performance. The potential rewards based on the plan were to be paid in two equal instalments after the end of the performance period, in 2024 and 2025. The minimum targets of the performance period 2022–2023 were not achieved and consequently no awards are paid from the Performance Share Plan 2022-2025.
The rewards of the plan were based on the absolute total shareholder return of the company's share (TSR) for the financial years 2022–2023 (weight 30%), on the Group's cumulative adjusted EBITDA in euro for the financial years 2022–2023 (weight 55%), and on the share of renewable and zero emission energy of revenue (weight 15%). The rewards to be paid based on the plan corresponded to the value of an approximate maximum total of 211,000 Enersense International Plc shares, also including the proportion to be paid in cash.
Approximately 40 persons, including the President and CEO and other members of the Group Executive Team, belonged to the target group of the plan.
The President and CEO of Enersense International Plc and the members of the Group Executive Team must own at least 50 per cent of the shares received as a net reward from the plan, until the value of the President and CEO's shareholding in Enersense International Plc equals to that of his annual base salary of the preceding year, and until the value of other Group Executive Team member's shareholding in Enersense International Plc equals 50 per cent of their annual base salary of the preceding year. Such a number of Enersense International Plc shares must be held as long as the membership in the Group Executive Team continues.
