2.8.2.2 Award of performance shares
Acting on the recommendation of the Compensation
Committee, LISI's Board of Directors decided, on October
24, 2012, to allocate performance shares to members of the
Executive Committee and tomembers of themainManagement
Committees for the three LISI Group divisions, subject to their
meeting certain performance targets: the achievement of
these criteria at the end of 2014, namely the Group ANAV and
division ANAV (see definition under §2.2.20 "Indicators" in this
chapter), resulted in 80% performance of this plan in financial
year 2015 for LISI S.A., 85% for the LISI AEROSPACE division,
75% for the LISI AUTOMOTIVE division and 30% for the LISI
MEDICAL division. The final cost was allocated to the divisions.
Similar plans were set up in 2013, 2014 and 2015 to the extent
that the Board of Directors meeting on October 24, 2013,
October 23, 2014 and December 17, 2015, renewed the start of a
new plan under similar terms.
The fair value of these benefits is recognized in the income
statement linearly over the vesting period.
The fair value of the benefits thus granted is recognized in 2015
in Payroll expenses for €3.0 million for the employees of the
French companies, against shareholders' equity, and for €1.5
million for the employees of foreign companies, against social
liabilities. This cost was not allocated to divisions, and remains
an expense at the LISI S.A. level until the definitive realization
of the plan.
