Implats’ prescribed officers, A Mhembere, M Munroe, and S Sibiya, each holding key positions within the organization, have individually accepted restricted matching shares. The off-market nature of these transactions indicates that the shares were not traded on the open market.

Similarly, M Munroe accepted 787 shares, amounting to a transaction value of R132,987.26. S Sibiya, another prescribed officer, accepted 798 shares, with a transaction value of R134,846.04. These share awards were granted on 6 March 2023, and the officers officially accepted them on 26 June 2023.

Implats’ LTIP Scheme is designed to incentivize and reward prescribed officers for their contributions to the long-term growth and performance of the company. By offering restricted matching shares, Implats ensures that the interests of its executives are closely aligned with those of its shareholders, fostering a focused approach towards sustainable value creation.

The company’s spokesperson highlighted the significance of the LTIP Scheme, stating, “We firmly believe that by linking the remuneration of our prescribed officers to the performance of the company, we create a mutually beneficial environment that encourages long-term success and growth. The acceptance of these restricted matching shares further strengthens this alignment and reinforces our commitment to driving shareholder value.”
