Performance share rights issue
Blis Technologies Limited (Company) has issued performance share rights for no consideration to
certain members of its senior leadership and senior management teams. The performance share
rights were approved by the directors of the Company on 21 December 2020.
The performance rights give the holder options to receive ordinary shares in the Company, which
may be exercised if the performance rights vest. The vesting period is three years from the date the
performance rights are granted, and vesting of the performance rights is conditional on the
Company meeting certain compound annual growth targets set by the board in respect of its share
price and net profit, and the continuous employment of the relevant holder.
