Letter of Notice, by the board of directors, concerning the introduction of a Remuneration Plan for Shares with a restriction on transfer on said shares. Title: New Mexico Notice Concerning Introduction of Remuneration Plan for Shares with Restriction-On Introduction: In New Mexico, employers often implement remuneration plans for their employees that include the issuance of shares with restrictions. This notice aims to provide a detailed description of what these remuneration plans entail and the various types associated with them. 1. Overview of Remuneration Plans with Restricted Shares: Remuneration plans with restricted shares are a form of compensation provided by employers that grant employees ownership in the company. However, these shares come with specific restrictions that limit the employee's ability to transfer or sell them until specific conditions are met. Such conditions may include a pre-determined vesting period, continued employment, or achieving performance-related goals. 2. Types of Remuneration Plans for Shares with Restriction-On: a) Restricted Stock Units (RSS): One type of remuneration plan is the issuance of restricted stock units (RSS). RSS represents a promise to deliver company shares in the future, contingent upon meeting the preset criteria. Employees do not actually own the shares during the vesting period but become shareholders once the restrictions are lifted. b) Performance-Based Restricted Stock: This form of remuneration plan grants employees shares that are tied to specific performance goals or milestones. The shares become unrestricted only when the employee achieves the prescribed performance target set by the employer. c) Employee Stock Options (SOS): Employee stock options provide employees with the right to purchase company shares at a predetermined price, known as the exercise price or strike price. However, these options carry restrictions, and employees cannot exercise them until certain conditions, such as a specified period of employment or reaching a particular milestone, are met. d) Restricted Stock Awards (RSA): In this type of remuneration plan, employers grant employees full ownership of company stock upfront, subject to specific restrictions. These restrictions usually include vesting requirements, and until the employee is vested, they cannot transfer, sell, or take full control of the awarded shares. 3. Legal Obligations and Compliance: Employers in New Mexico who offer remuneration plans using restricted shares must adhere to certain legal requirements, including providing adequate disclosure and obtaining employee consent regarding the terms and conditions of the plans. It is essential for employers to consult legal professionals to ensure compliance with state and federal securities laws, as well as any specific regulations related to remuneration plans and shareholder agreements. Conclusion: Understanding the intricacies of remuneration plans involving shares with restrictions is crucial for both employers and employees in New Mexico. This notice aimed to provide a detailed overview of the various types of such plans, including RSS, performance-based restricted stock, SOS, and SAS. By complying with legal obligations and ensuring proper disclosure, businesses can effectively implement these remuneration plans while fostering employee engagement and retention.
