Canadian Net REIT Announces a New Equity Incentive Plan
MONTREAL, April 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — (TSX-V: NET.UN) Canadian Net Real Estate Investment Trust (“Canadian Net” or the “Trust”) announces a new equity incentive plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”) that further aligns executive management and unitholder interests.
At the annual and special meeting of unitholders to be held on May 25th, 2022, unitholders will be asked, among other matters, to consider, and if deemed appropriate, to pass resolutions approving the Equity Incentive Plan as further described in the Management Information Circular. The Equity Incentive Plan consolidates, amends, and restates the existing unit compensation plan of the Trust, as approved on April 19, 2019, as amended on May 22, 2020, and as further amended on March 26, 2021, and the deferred trust unit plan of the Trust, as approved on March 26, 2021.
Eligibility
Those eligible to participate in the Equity Incentive Plan include trustees, officers, and employees (or any similar positions) of the Trust or any subsidiary of the Trust.
Types of Awards
The Equity Incentive Plan provides for awards of compensation units, performance units, restricted units and deferred units as further described in the Management Information Circular.
Total Units Subject to the Plan and Participation Limits
The maximum number of units reserved for issuance at any time under the Equity Incentive Plan and any other security-based compensation plan of the Trust shall be 1,024,615. Any unit issued under the Equity Incentive Plan shall reduce the number of units reserved for issuance thereunder accordingly.
The Equity Incentive Plan is an “evergreen” plan. If and to the extent a performance unit, restricted unit or deferred unit is canceled or forfeited for any reason, the associated units subject to that performance unit, restricted unit or deferred unit will again become available for grant under the Equity Incentive Plan.
The Equity Incentive Plan remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and disinterested unitholder approval.
