Executive Long-Term Incentive Plan Design
Share-based long-term incentive plans are another key feature of the executive pay landscape and one that attracts considerable debate.
We advise on the design and implementation of all types of long-term incentive plan which can take the form of traditional share options, conditional allocations of ‘free’ shares which vest depending on company performance under a Performance Share Plan, a Share Matching Plan, (where executives invest a bonus in shares and receive extra shares from the company, usually based on performance) or Value Creation Plans, where the returns in excess of a hurdle are shared between management and shareholders.
