Employee Performance Rights and Change to Managing Director’s Employment Terms
RareX Limited (“ RareX ” or “ the Company ”) (ASX: REE) advises the issue of performance rights under the Company’s Employee Securities Incentive Plan (as approved by Shareholders on 8 August 2018) (“ ESIP ”), the proposed issue of performance rights to the Managing Director and Non-Executive Directors, and an update to the Managing Director’s employment terms.
To retain talent, the Board sees the most effective means as to incentivise management and employees with performance rights linked directly to share price appreciation to the benefit of all shareholders.

The review identified areas where we were not in alignment with our peers, and to ensure that RareX is able to retain and attract high calibre talent, we have adjusted our remuneration strategy accordingly.
