Cake Box ties new executive share awards to ambitious EPS targets

An announcement from Cake Box Holdings ( (GB:CBOX) ) is now available.

Cake Box Holdings has granted 411,194 performance share options under its Long Term Incentive Plan to three executive directors, including CEO Sukh Chamdal, CFO Michael Botha and CCO Jaswir Singh, at an exercise price of 1p per share. The awards, valued in total at around £740,000, are structured to vest on a sliding scale based on earnings per share targets over three financial years, with a two-year post-vesting holding period and malus and clawback provisions to align management rewards with long-term shareholder returns.

The LTIP will see 25% of the awards vest if undiluted EPS reaches 18.04p in the third financial year, rising gradually to full vesting if EPS hits 20.54p, effectively tying senior executives’ upside to improved profitability. By setting explicit EPS hurdles and extended holding requirements, the company is signalling a commitment to disciplined performance management and long-term value creation, which may reassure investors focused on earnings quality and governance standards.
