Vesting of the 2016 performance share plan awards

Polymetal announces that 2016 share awards under the Company's Performance Share Plan ("PSP"), part of the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan, have vested.

During the four-year performance period ending 28 April 2020 for the PSP awards made in 2016, Polymetal achieved a positive absolute Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") of 107.9% and outperformed a median TSR of 49.7% of the FTSE Gold Mines Index constituents. As a result, Polymetal ranked 7th by TSR out of 45 index participants.

Accordingly, the 2016 performance share awards have partially vested with 89.7% of the total awards being granted, which includes 75.9% vesting percentage based on the TSR performance and additional share awards for the dividend equivalent paid during the 4-year performance period.

1,407,784 ordinary shares were issued and distributed to 267 participants of the PSP on 30 April 2020, representing 0.30% of the Company's increased share capital. The newly issued shares have a market value of US$28.6 million, based on the closing price as of 30 April 2020.

"In its third year our PSP programme rewards performance of Polymetal's employees which have significantly contributed to strong shareholder returns", said Vitaly Nesis, Group CEO of Polymetal.

Performance Share Plan

Under the PSP, awards are released following a four-year performance period (with an additional mandatory holding period of one year following vesting), subject to certain performance measures being met. The vesting of awards is based on the Company's TSR measured against the TSR of the FTSE Gold Mines Index constituents, as well as the Company's absolute TSR over the same performance period. The vesting conditions were set as follows:

  • 0% vests for below median performance;
  • 20% vests at median performance;
  • 100% vests at top decile performance and above; and
  • Straight line vesting in between median and top decile.
  • No award vests if an absolute TSR is negative even if performance is above median.

No consideration is payable for the vesting of the awards by the beneficiaries. In certain cases of Good Leaver Circumstances, the award will usually vest as normal in accordance with the terms of the award. Alternatively, the Board may determine that the award will vest immediately. For more details on the PSP, please see Polymetal's 2019 Annual Report and Accounts available on the Company's website at www.polymetalinternational.com. Further to the 2016 award vesting, shares transferred to the Group CEO and Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMRs") are presented in the table below:
