This has included the development of new incentive plans and evolving the details on remuneration set out in our Admission Document into a full policy which supports the Company’s ambitious growth plans following admission to AIM, enables us to recruit, motivate and retain executives in a competitive sector and continues to encourage an entrepreneurial and high performance culture.
The four main elements of the remuneration package are base salary, benefits, a cash-based annual bonus and a long-term share incentive.
