Metals One loads Employee Benefit Trust as it ties executive rewards to growth targets

Metals One PLC ( (GB:MET1) ) has issued an update.

Metals One has issued 100 million new ordinary shares to its Employee Benefit Trust and formalised a long-term share incentive plan for executive management, following shareholder approval in late January. As part of historic awards linked to its 2023 IPO and strategic milestones, 7.5 million shares each will go to former CEO Jonathan Owen and current managing director Daniel Maling from existing EBT holdings, aligning their stakes with original IPO-era ownership levels.

After these awards and the new issue, the EBT will hold about 105.1 million shares, or roughly 9.06% of the enlarged share capital, with most earmarked for executive incentives and 25% reserved to attract and retain key staff. The three-year incentive plan is tied to project diversification, financing achievements, and substantial market capitalisation growth targets through 2027, underscoring the board’s push to link management rewards to long-term value creation, while the new shares are expected to begin trading on AIM on 23 February, taking total issued shares to nearly 1.16 billion.
