The long-term incentive plans in Kalmar are performance share plans based on the company's performance and restricted share plans that are based on continuous employment. Plans consist of a 3-year performance or restriction period after which the rewards are paid to eligible participants. Company's practice is that one new performance and restriction period commences annually.
Performance Share Plans
Performance Share Plans consist of 3-year performance periods that the Board of Directors can decide on annually. Kalmar currently has three active Performance Share Programmes (PSP) that are presented in the table below.
In the PSPs, participants are given an opportunity to earn Kalmar shares. The rewards are based on the company’s performance against the criteria set by the Board of Directors and will be paid to the participants after the performance period, given that the participants’ employment continues without termination at the time of payment. In addition to the rewards payable in shares, the rewards include a cash portion which is intended to cover the taxes and tax-like payments arising to the key employees from the reward.
