K2 SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
K2.1 Accounting policy
 

Long-term benefits - share-based payments

The Company operates an equity-settled share-based conditional share plan (CUP) for its employees.

The grant date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment arrangements granted to employees is recognised as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.

All share-based remuneration is ultimately recognised as an expense in profit or loss, with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. If vesting periods or other vesting conditions apply, the expense is allocated over the vesting period, based on the best available estimate of the number of shares expected to vest.

The CUP consists of two components - performance shares and retention shares, both of which are settled by the issue of Hyprop shares. The allocation between performance and retention shares is 70%:30% for all participants. Awards under the CUP are made on an annual basis.

 
Performance shares
The performance conditions for the shares allocated as performance shares are as follows:
40% Growth in distribution per share relative to the peer group
40% Share price performance relative to the peer group
20% A strategic component, which is determined by the Remuneration committee in line with the prevailing circumstances and projects at the time of the award.

Each of the performance conditions is measured over a three-year performance period. Participants must be employed until the end of the vesting period to be eligible for the award.

Retention shares

Retention shares vest after five years, provided the participant is still employed by the Group.

K2.4 Valuation methodology
 

The day-one fair value of the awards granted under the CUP is determined based on the 30-day VWAP of Hyprop shares ending on the grant date, as specified in the CUP rules. Volatility is calculated based on historic volatility for the preceding year. The fair value of each outstanding tranche of share awards is detailed below:

K3 RETIREMENT BENEFITS
K3.1 Accounting policy
 

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which the Company pays contributions to a separate entity. The Company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

Company contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense when the related services have been rendered.

K3.2 Profile
 

All permanent employees must be members of the Unicover Pension Fund (an umbrella defined contribution fund) (the fund), except those who elect not to be members in terms of section 197 of the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 (LRA).

In addition to the post-retirement benefits, the fund provides comprehensive death, disability, funeral and universal education cover for all members.
