Idemitsu Revamps Performance-Linked Stock Plan to Align with New Mid-Term Strategy

Idemitsu Kosan Co ( (JP:5019) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Idemitsu Kosan has approved a continuation and revision of its performance-linked stock compensation plan for directors and senior executive officers, first introduced in 2018, with changes to be submitted for shareholder approval at its June 24 annual general meeting. The plan, which delivers company shares mainly after retirement, is designed to maintain market-competitive stock-based pay and promote share ownership among executives to better align their interests with those of shareholders.
