An update from Westaim ( (TSE:WED) ) is now available.

Westaim Corporation has granted 1,578,258 stock options and 124,812 restricted share units under its long-term equity incentive plan to certain officers of its affiliate Ceres Life Insurance Company, with the awards subject to a mix of time-based, operational performance and share price vesting conditions over multiple years. The company has also amended the change-of-control provisions of its incentive plan so that any acquisition of Westaim securities by CC Capital Partners, LLC or its affiliates will only trigger those provisions at an 85% ownership threshold, a move that fine-tunes governance and control mechanics around future equity awards and may influence expectations around potential strategic transactions or ownership changes involving that investor.
