| Share appreciation rights scheme
During 2007 the group introduced the Barloworld Cash-Settled Share Appreciation Right Scheme.
The scheme allows executive directors and certain senior employees to earn a long-term incentive amount calculated based on the increase in the Barloworld Limited share price between the grant date and the vesting and exercise of such rights. During 2011 the scheme rules were amended to change all future awards to be equity-settled.
No shares are issued for share appreciation rights granted before 2011 and all amounts payable will be settled in cash. All share appreciation rights granted from 2011 will be settled in shares. The objective of the scheme is to recognise the contributions of senior staff to the group’s financial position and performance and to retain key employees.
The vesting of the rights are subject to specific performance conditions, based on group headline earnings per share. Rights are granted for a period of six years and vest one-third after three years from grant date, a further one-third after four years and the final third after five years.
The grant price of these appreciation rights equals the volume-weighted average market price of the underlying shares on the three trading days immediately preceding grant date.
On resignation, share appreciation rights which have not yet vested and those vested but not exercised, are forfeited. On death or retirement the Barloworld remuneration committee may permit a portion of unvested rights to be exercised within one year (or such extended period as the committee may decide) of the date of cessation of employment.
It is group policy that employees should not deal in Barloworld Limited shares (and this is extended to the forfeitable share plan, share appreciation rights and share options schemes) for the periods from 1 April for half-year-end and 1 October for year-end until 24 hours after publication of the results and at any other time during which they have access to price sensitive information.
Cash-settled share appreciation rights: Fair value estimates
In terms of IFRS 2, liabilities relating to cash-settled share-based payments are adjusted to fair value at financial position date.
The estimated fair value of the share appreciation rights was calculated using a binomial pricing model, with inputs as set out below:
