GR Silver Mining Ltd. Implements Performance Share Units to Drive Executive Engagement
GR Silver Mining Ltd. announces the granting of 3,837,205 Performance Share Units (PSUs) to eligible executive officers under its Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan. This initiative, approved by the Board in August 2022 and ratified by shareholders in November 2024, aims to align executive performance with the company’s strategic objectives. The PSUs are set to vest after one year, contingent upon the successful achievement of specific short-term Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and the grantees maintaining their status as executive officers or consultants. This approach not only incentivizes performance but also promotes long-term commitment from executives in a rapidly evolving mining sector.
Each PSU, once vested, can be converted into one common share or a cash equivalent, providing flexibility to the executives while reinforcing their stake in the company's growth. The Plan is structured to support a rolling 10% stock option plan along with a fixed 10% plan, allowing for the issuance of up to 19,521,680 shares for non-stock option awards. Following the recent grant of PSUs, GR Silver Mining has a remaining total of 5,721,737 shares available for the settlement of outstanding non-stock option awards. This strategic allocation of shares is central to sustaining executive motivation and aligning their interests with those of shareholders, especially as the company seeks to expand its resource base.
The execution of this incentive plan comes at a crucial juncture for GR Silver Mining, which is focused on silver-gold resource expansion in Mexico. The company operates the Plomosas Project and is actively engaged in exploration activities in the Rosario Mining District, located in Sinaloa State. With recent discoveries across its 78 km² of exploration concessions, GR Silver Mining aims to capitalize on its strategic position in the market, encouraging executives to drive operations that will enhance the company’s value and resource portfolio.
In addition to the PSUs, stakeholders are encouraged to review the management information circular from the Company’s annual general meeting held on September 18, 2023, which is available on SEDAR+. This document provides further insights into the incentive plan and its implications for the company's future.
The introduction of PSUs is a testament to GR Silver Mining's commitment to fostering a performance-driven culture while enhancing executive accountability in a competitive mining landscape. As the company continues its exploration endeavors, this initiative is expected to bolster the alignment of executive actions with the long-term strategic goals of the organization.
