NZX Announcement
24 November 2021
New Issue of Share Rights
Freightways Limited (Freightways) implemented a new executive long term incentive
(LTI) scheme in July 2020 designed to better encourage long term performance and
promote employee retention. This scheme replaced the previous senior executive
performance share plan established in 2008, which involved partly-paid shares. The new
LTI scheme involves share rights being offered to senior executives, with vesting
determined at the end of a 3-year vesting period. Each share right that vests converts to one
Freightways ordinary share.
Vesting is based on the achievement of the following two total shareholder return (TSR)
hurdles being met over the vesting period:
(i) 50% of the share rights are subject to an absolute TSR, whereby half these share
rights vest if Freightways outperforms the NZX50 index median, pro-rated up to
100% vesting at the 75th percentile of the index constituents; and
(ii) 50% of the share rights are subject to the Company's relative TSR target of profit
performance above the cost of capital, as set by the Board of Directors.
The share rights do not carry a dividend entitlement and are non-transferable.
The Board resolved to make an allocation (in accordance with the rules of the new LTI
scheme) of 94,370 share rights to executives with a three-year vesting period commencing
1 July 2021. A capital change notice in respect of the issue of share rights accompanies this
announcement.
It is anticipated that annual allocations will be made each year, following the release of
Freightways’ full year results.
