Share-based Incentive Plans

The Company’s Share Option Plan, Performance Share Plan and Restricted Stock Plan (collectively, the “Share Plans”) were approved and adopted by the shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company held on June 5, 2000.

The Executive Resource & Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Company has been designated as the Committee responsible for the administration of the Share Plans. The Committee comprises the following members, all of whom are directors:

Peter Seah Lim Huat (Chairman)
Goh Geok Ling

The Share Option Plan and Restricted Stock Plan are the incentive schemes for directors and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) whereas the Performance Share Plan is aimed primarily at key executives of the Group.

The Share Plans are intended to attract, retain and incentivise participants to higher standards of performance and encourage greater dedication and loyalty by enabling the Company to give recognition to past contributions and services; as well as motivating participants to contribute to the long-term prosperity of the Group.

The Share Option Plan provides the Company with means whereby non-executive directors and employees of the Group, and certain categories of persons who can make significant contributions through their close working relationship with the Group, such as non-executive directors and employees of the Company’s associated company, are given an opportunity to participate in the equity of the Company. From 2007 onwards, no share options were granted as share options were entirely replaced with restricted stocks of an equivalent fair value.

The Performance Share Plan and Restricted Stock Plan award fully paid shares to participants to achieve pre-determined targets that create and enhance economic values for shareholders of the Company, and / or to accomplish time-based service conditions. Awards will be released to participants as fully-paid shares, or their equivalent cash value or combinations thereof, free-of-charge, provided that the conditions of the awards are achieved and subject to approval by the Committee.

Awards granted under the Performance Share Plan are released at the end of the performance period only when the pre-determined targets have been achieved. Awards granted under the Restricted Stock Plan vest only after satisfactory completion of time-based service conditions, or where the award is performance related, after a further period of service beyond the performance target completion date. No minimum vesting period is prescribed under the Restricted Stock Plan and the length of the vesting period in respect of each award will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

The shares are settled by physical delivery of shares by way of issuance of new shares or existing shares procured by the Company for transfer to the employees or cash in lieu of the shares.

Other information regarding the Share Plan is as follows:

a. Share Option Plan
  Under the rules of the Share Option Plan, participants who ceased to be employed by the Group or the associated company by reason of ill health, injury or disability, redundancy, retirement at or after the legal retirement age, retirement before the legal retirement age, death, etc, or any other event approved by the Committee, may be allowed by the Committee to retain their unexercised options. The Committee may determine the number of shares comprised in that option which may be exercised and the period during which such option shall be exercisable, being a period not later than the expiry of the exercise period in respect of that option. Such option may be exercised at any time notwithstanding that the date of exercise of such option falls on a date prior to the first day of the exercise period in respect of such option.
   
  Other information regarding the Share Option Plan is as follows:
 
i. The exercise price of the options can be set at market price or a discount to the market price not exceeding 20% of the market price in respect of options granted at the time of grant. Market price is the volume-weighted average price for the shares on the Singapore Exchange Limited (“Singapore Exchange”) over the three consecutive trading days prior to grant date of that option. For all options granted to date, the exercise prices are set at market price.
ii. After the first 12 months of lock-out period, the Group imposed a further vesting of 4 years for managers and above for retention purposes.
iii. In 2009, all options were settled by the issuance of treasury shares.
   
The options granted expire after 5 years for non-executive directors and associated company’s employees, and 10 years for the employees of the Group.
   
v. Sembcorp Industries Ltd Share Option Plan

b. Performance Share Plan
  Under the Performance Share Plan, the awards granted conditional on performance targets are set based on medium-term corporate objectives at the start of each rolling three-year performance qualifying period. A specific number of performance shares shall be awarded at the end of the three-year performance cycle depending on the extent of the achievement of the performance conditions established at the onset.

The performance levels were calibrated based on Wealth Added and Total Shareholder Return. A minimum threshold performance must be achieved to trigger an achievement factor, which in turn determines the number of shares to be finally awarded. Performance shares to be delivered will range between 0% to 150% of the conditional performance shares awarded.

From 2009, the Performance Share Plan was enhanced to create alignment between senior management and other employees at the time of vesting by introducing a plan trigger. Under this trigger mechanism, the performance shares for the performance period 2009 to 2011 will be vested to the senior management participants only if the restricted stocks for the performance period 2010 to 2011 are vested, subject to the achievement of the performance conditions for the respective performance periods.

Senior management participants are required to hold a minimum percentage of the shares released to them under the Performance Share Plan to maintain a beneficial ownership stake in the Group, for the duration of their employment or tenure with the Group. A maximum cap is set based on a multiple of the individual participant’s Annual Base Salary. Any excess can be sold off, but in the event of a shortfall, they have a two calendar year period to meet the minimum percentage requirement.

c. Restricted Stock Plan
  Under the Restricted Stock Plan, the awards granted conditional on performance targets are set based on corporate objectives at the start of each rolling two-year performance qualifying period. The performance criteria for the restricted stocks are calibrated based on Return on Total Assets and Total Shareholder Return for awards granted before 2009 and Return on Total Assets (excluding Sembcorp Marine Ltd) and Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (excluding Sembcorp Marine Ltd) for awards granted in 2009.

A minimum threshold performance must be achieved to trigger an achievement factor, which in turn determines the number of shares to be finally awarded. Based on the criteria, restricted stocks to be delivered will range from 0% to 150% of the conditional restricted stocks awarded.

The managerial participants of the Group will be awarded restricted stocks under the Restricted Stock Plan, while the non-managerial participants of the Group will receive their awards in an equivalent cash value. This cash-settled notional restricted stocks award for non-managerial participants is known as the Sembcorp Challenge Bonus.

A specific number of restricted stocks shall be awarded at the end of the two-year performance cycle depending on the extent of the achievement of the performance conditions established at the onset. There is a further vesting period of three years after the performance period, during which one-third of the awarded shares are released each year to managerial participants. Non-managerial participants will receive the equivalent in cash at the end of the two-year performance cycle, with no further vesting conditions.

Senior management participants are required to hold a minimum percentage of the shares released to them under the Restricted Stock Plan to maintain a beneficial ownership stake in the Group, for the duration of their employment or tenure with the Group. A maximum cap is set based on a multiple of the individual participant’s Annual Base Salary. Any excess can be sold off, but in the event of a shortfall, they have a two calendar year period to meet the minimum percentage requirement.
