BASE RESOURCES LIMITEDVesting of LTIP performance rights
African mineral sands producer, Base Resources Limited (ASX & AIM: BSE) (Base Resources or the Company) advises that, following performance testing of the 2017 cycle performance rights issued pursuant to the Base Resources Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) as at 30 September 2020, 6,373,301 performance rights have vested, equivalent to approximately 42% of the total number of 2017 cycle performance rights issued.
Vesting of performance rights issued under the LTIP is subject to achievement of specified performance criteria over a three-year performance period. The performance criteria specified for the 2017 cycle performance rights required achievement of total shareholder return (TSR) targets, with 50% subject to absolute TSR performance criteria and 50% subject to relative TSR performance criteria assessed against a set group of comparator companies.
Further details about the LTIP, including specified performance criteria, are included in the Base Resources 2020 Annual Report, which can be accessed from the Company’s website.
In accordance with the terms of the LTIP, those 2017 cycle performance rights that did not vest following testing were automatically forfeited. Those LTIP participants whose performance rights were automatically forfeited included employees classified as “persons discharging managerial responsibilities” (PDMRs) for the purposes of the European Union’s Market Abuse Regulation. Their updated securityholdings in the Company are set out below.
