GR Silver Mining Introduces Deferred Share Units
GR Silver Mining Ltd. (TSXV: GRSL) has just made a significant announcement regarding its incentive plan. The company has granted Deferred Share Units (DSUs) to eligible recipients as part of their Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan. This plan was approved by the Board and has garnered the support of the shareholders.
Details of the Incentive Plan
The incentive plan involves the granting of 97,480 DSUs to non-executive directors as compensation for their services over the last quarter. These DSUs are set to vest one year after they are granted, aligning with the policies set by the TSX Venture Exchange.
Director Fee Equity Package
In a bid to enhance director compensation, the Board has established a director fee equity package. This stipulates that each non-executive director will receive DSUs equivalent to $6,000 each quarter. The number of DSUs awarded will depend on the closing price of the company's shares, ensuring that compensation reflects market performance.
What Do DSUs Entail?
Once the DSUs are vested, holders can opt to convert them into common shares of the company or opt for a cash equivalent. This flexibility ensures that directors can benefit from their long-term contributions to the company. However, it’s important to note that these units cannot be settled until the director steps down from their position.
Understanding the Plan Structure
The incentive program comprises two elements: a rolling stock option plan and a fixed plan allowing up to 19,521,680 shares to be issued as part of non-stock options, including DSUs. After the recent grants, a total of 2,043,068 shares are still available under the incentive program for settling outstanding DSUs and performance share units (PSUs).
