How many RSUs and PSUs did Meridian Mining CEO Gilbert Clark receive (MRRDF)?

CEO Gilbert Clark received 166,481 RSUs and 332,963 PSUs. According to Meridian, any vested shares not sold to cover tax and social security will be subject to a two-year post-vesting holding period, aligning part of his remuneration with long-term shareholder outcomes.

What are the vesting conditions for Meridian Mining RSUs and PSUs granted in July 2026?

RSUs and PSUs generally vest on the third anniversary of grant. According to Meridian, vesting requires continued employment and Remuneration Committee assessment of company performance, including relative total shareholder return and strategic/operational targets for PSUs, before any payout occurs.

How are Meridian Mining (MRRDF) non-executive directors compensated with DSUs?

Non-executive directors received DSUs equal to 50% of their annual fee. According to Meridian, DSUs normally vest in twelve equal monthly instalments, with actual payout or settlement only occurring once a director leaves the Board, deferring compensation into equity-linked units.

The awards were calculated using a reference price of CAD1.70 or GBP£0.92 per share. According to Meridian, this price was applied by the Remuneration Committee when determining the number of shares underlying the RSU, PSU and DSU awards granted to PDMRs.

What performance measures determine Meridian Mining PSU vesting for the CEO and CFO?

PSU vesting depends on relative total shareholder return and strategic/operational targets. According to Meridian, 75% of the PSU outcome is based on relative TSR versus a bespoke copper and copper-gold peer group, and 25% on specified strategic and operational measures.
