HARWORTH GROUP PLC ("Harworth")
DEFERRED SHARE BONUS PLAN
The Board of Harworth, on the recommendation of the Remuneration Committee, has resolved to settle a small outstanding element of the 2014 bonus due to employees and Directors of Harworth Estates Ltd., a scheme which predated Harworth taking control of Harworth Estates Ltd in March 2015, by use of a deferred share bonus plan. This will see awards of £25,000 payable in shares to each of the four senior leadership team of Harworth and lower amounts to other team members, with a total of 41 employees benefitting.
The shares awarded yesterday to the senior leadership team will have a vesting period of three years whilst the shares for employees will have a vesting period of one year.
The scheme will utilise the existing employee share trust of Harworth and the Trustees will acquire 1,695,054 Harworth shares by purchase in the market. The number of shares to be acquired for each employee has been determined using the average middle market price over the five days to 24June 2015 of 11.675p.
