Company Announcement
14 September 2026
Turners has record uptake of employee share program
Turners has issued shares under its 2026 Employee Share Scheme (ESS) and 2023 Long Term Incentive
programme (LTIP).
ESS
CEO Todd Hunter said “in our 5
th
year of running the employee share scheme we now have 72% of our
wider team with shareholdings in the company. This is a fantastic outcome for our team and for our
broader shareholder base. The ownership mindset combined with our high team engagement levels
continues to be a powerful combination and a strong advantage for the Turners organisation. It is an
important competitive advantage for us as a business.”
In the 2026 ESS round, employees have applied for a total of 104,139 shares and, after utilising shares
already held by the Share Scheme Trustees, a total of 77,978 new shares have been issued representing
0.09% of issued capital.
The scheme provides the opportunity for permanent (part-time and full-time) employees of the business
to invest $1,000 and receive $2,0 00 worth of shares at the completion of a 3-year vesting period. In order
to encourage broad participation, the company also offers a 3-year interest-free loan to all staff to
acquire the shares.
LTIP
The company is also issuing 85,562 LTIP shares to 23 leaders across the wider business to reward
performance, loyalty and tenure, and to ensure retention of key talent essential to Turners’ future
success.
