(February 2, 2024) – Sucro Limited (TSXV: SUG) (“Sucro” or the “Company”), an integrated sugar company focused primarily on serving the North American market, today announced that subject to regulatory approval, its Board of Directors has awarded 78,995 restricted share units (“RSUs”) to directors, officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries under the Company’s Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan.
Of the RSUs awarded, 78,159 have been awarded in connection with the cancellation of 128,3911 equity appreciation rights (“EARs”) previously awarded under the Equity Participation Plan of subsidiary Sucro Holdings, LLC (the “EAR Plan”). Under the EAR Plan, as amended, holders of EARs are entitled to a cash payment from Sucro Holdings on a sale of Sucro calculated as the difference between the sale price (net of transaction costs) and the specified base valuation indicated in the applicable EAR award, if any, and on the basis of each EAR representing one Subordinate Voting Share of Sucro. The purpose of these RSU awards is to transition equity-based compensation away from the former privately held Sucro Holdings to the new Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan of Sucro following the completion of its initial public offering on October 30, 2023. No further awards of EARs will be made under the EAR Plan and 227,68511 EARs remain outstanding following these cancellations.
Each RSU represents the right to receive one Subordinate Voting Share of the Company on settlement. The RSUs awarded will vest over a period of a minimum of one year and a maximum of two years.
