Restricted Share Plans
Retain and reward
your top talent
Restricted shares, whether RSA or RSU, can be a powerful motivator for employees that can also help to boost retention. The longer the period of employment, the greater the potential financial benefits for employees—driving both personal and organisational success.

Participant portal
Empower your employees
Engage your employees with 24/7 access to a portal where they can see the potential value of their awards, manage tasks and transact their shares.
Incentivise employees
Restricted share plans can provide employees with financial benefits above and beyond basic salary, helping companies stay competitive when it comes to hiring, motivating and retaining employees.
Attract and retain talent
Participants are now technically employee-owners. When their goals and objectives become more directly aligned with those of the company they are more likely to stick around to reap the rewards of their hard work.
The right fit for you
Restricted shares generally come in two types—RSA and RSU. An RSA is an equity award that grants actual company stock whereas with an RSU, employees do not receive the shares until the restrictions lapse.
Flexible vesting and goal settings
Customise the design to suit your business needs and targets. Decide how and when awards are achieved, e.g. having all awards available at once or staggered in intervals, whichever best suit your company’s goals.
Granted for free (usually)
Restricted shares can incentivise employees by giving them shares, or their equivalent value in cash, once it becomes unrestricted (vests) over a period of time—without them having to make an upfront payment.
Rewarding executives
Restricted shares are commonly used by companies to reward and retain executive-level employees and to align their goals with company goals.
