MINILUXE ANNOUNCES ISSUANCE OF OPTIONS IN LIEU OF CASH EXTENDING ITS SHAREHOLDER ALIGNED INCENTIVE PROGRAM FOR LEADERSHIP COMPENSATION

Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

As the Company comes up to the first anniversary of its restructuring of overhead in late 2023, it announces continued fixed cost leverage and benefits of its option incentive program

Toronto, Ontario, Oct. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MiniLuxe Holding Corp. (the “Company”) (TSXV: MNLX), today announced that it has granted an aggregate 3,000,000 options at an exercise price of CDN $0.30 to certain leadership officers of the Company as part of its ongoing incentive program to award equity of options in lieu of cash compensation. In certain cases of senior leadership, equity-based options make up to 30 to 100 percent of an executive’s base salary compensation. Any new option awards continue to draw from the existing employee incentive pool with no net new incremental dilution to shareholders. Options will be subject to a 1-year cliff vesting schedule (an effective deferment and retention incentive) and exercisable for subordinate voting shares of the Company for a period of 10 years following the date of grant.

Last November MiniLuxe announced a reconfiguration and restructuring of the Company’s SG+A that included using stock options as a greater proportion of leadership incentive which would have the dual benefit of: lowering cash burn and fully aligning management and shareholder interests.

Over the past year, the Company has materially reduced SG+A as percent of revenue and lowered cash-burn by over 65 percent from ~$10M to annualized burn rate today of ~$3M. This combined with growing contribution from the core base business (up nearly 4x YTD over prior year) has created significantly stronger fixed cost leverage and improved operating cash flow.
