The Company adopted a long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) on December 20, 2024, whereby it can grant stock options, restricted share units (“RSUs”), Deferred Share Units (“DSUs”), and Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) to directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company. The maximum number of shares that may be reserved for issuance under the LTIP is 3,150,000.
In 2024, the Company was approved to implement an employee share purchase plan (“ESPP”) to provide its employees an incentive to promote performance and growth potential over the long-term. The Company has reserved 250,000 common shares that can be issued under the ESPP.
The grant date fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and this value is recognized as an expense over the vesting period. DSUs generally vest in one year but cannot be exercised until the holder ceases to be a Director or Officer of Electra. DSUs are valued based on the market price of the Company’s common shares on the grant date. PSUs generally vest over 18 – 24 months if certain performance metrics have been achieved. They are valued based on the market price of the Company’s shares on the grant date and this value is expensed over the vesting period. RSUs generally vest over 12 – 36 months. They are valued based on the market price of the Company’s shares on the grant date and this value is expensed over the vesting period.
