NOF overhauls performance-linked stock compensation with new restricted stock plan

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

NOF ( (JP:4403) ) has issued an announcement.

NOF Corporation will revise its existing performance-linked stock compensation scheme for directors and senior operating officers, replacing the current Board Benefit Trust with a new Board Benefit Trust-Restricted Stock plan. The move is aimed at tightening the link between executive pay, the company’s financial performance and stock price, while increasing the proportion of stock-based rewards.

Under the new plan, a trust funded by the company will acquire NOF shares and distribute them and their cash equivalents to eligible directors and officers according to internal rules. Shares granted during tenure will be subject to transfer restrictions until retirement, and previously granted points under the old plan will be converted into points under the new scheme, reinforcing executives’ shared exposure to both upside and downside in the company’s share price.
