Key Terms

incentive stock option plan, restricted share unit plan, quorum, form of proxy

4 terms

incentive stock option plan financial

"The Company's amended incentive stock option plan;The Company's amended restricted share unit plan; and"

A plan that gives employees the right to buy company shares at a fixed price after a vesting period, often with special tax treatment if the shares are held long enough. For investors it matters because these options can motivate and retain staff by tying pay to company performance, but they also increase the number of shares outstanding over time and can dilute existing shareholders and affect reported earnings — think of them as employee coupons for future ownership.

restricted share unit plan financial

"The Company's amended restricted share unit plan; andThe amendment of the Company's Articles"

A restricted share unit plan is a company program that promises employees or executives actual company shares or cash tied to the company’s stock, delivered later once conditions like continued employment or performance targets are met. Think of it as a delayed paycheck paid in stock that becomes fully owned only after certain milestones. Investors care because these awards can change the number of shares outstanding, affect reported costs, and align employee actions with shareholder value.

quorum regulatory

"amendment to the shareholder quorum requirements at the annual general and special meeting."

A quorum is the minimum number of members needed to officially hold a meeting or make decisions. It ensures that decisions are made with enough participation to represent the group’s interests, much like a majority must be present for a vote to be valid. For investors, understanding quorum is important because it affects when and how important company or organization decisions can be legally made.

form of proxy financial

"any other methods provided in the form or proxy or voting instruction which have been included"

A form of proxy is the official document shareholders use to give someone else instructions or authority to vote their shares at a company meeting when they cannot or choose not to attend. Like filling out a ballot and designating a trusted friend to cast it for you, it lets investors influence board elections, mergers, executive pay and other key decisions without being physically present, so timely review can affect control and value of your investment.
