Implementation of incentive programs and reporting of transactions in accordance with Section 28a of the Securities Trading Act


No. 9/2014

 

In accordance with ISS A/S’ Overall Guidelines for Incentive Pay, as adopted at the extraordinary general meeting held on 1 March 2014, ISS A/S has today implemented (i) a new long-term incentive programme (the “LTIP”) for the Executive Group Management Board and certain other employees comprising 952,169 performance share units (“PSUs”) of which a total of 131,914 PSUs have been granted to the Executive Group Management Board and a total of 768,752 PSUs have been granted to certain other employees and (ii) a new transition share programme (the “Transition Share Programme”) for the Executive Group Management Board and certain other employees comprising 526,720 PSUs of which a total of 137,786 PSUs have been granted to the Executive Group Management Board and a total of 382,950 PSUs have been granted to certain other employees.

Upon vesting, each PSU entitles the holder to receive one share in ISS A/S at no cost. Full or partial vesting of the PSUs granted under the Transition Share Programme and the LTIP is subject to achievement of certain performance targets. Prior to vesting, holders of PSUs will not have any of the rights that holders of Shares would otherwise be entitled to, such as voting and dividend rights.

Reference is also made to the offering circular published by ISS A/S on 3 March 2014 for further information on the Transition Share Programme and the LTIP.

Pursuant to section 28a of the Danish Securities Trading Act, the following transactions in shares and associated securities of ISS A/S have been reported by members of the Executive Group Management Board in connection with the grant of PSUs:
