Issue of Long-Term Incentive Awards
Name of PDMR / Position / Value
Mark Learmonth / Director and Chief Executive Officer / US$ 465,750.00
Dana Roets / Director and Chief Operating Officer / US$ 207,352.40
Victor Gapare / Executive Director / US$ 194,579.97
Chester Goodburn / Chief Financial Officer / US$ 184,164.50
The awards are in the form of Performance Units ("PUs") as defined in the Plan. The vesting date for the PUs shall be the first business day in April 2026, in order to align with market practice of awarding and vesting dates being after publication of annual financial results (previously these dates were in January).
The Plan also extends to other group employees as well as senior management at the mines; the Plan currently has 113 participants in Jersey, the UK, South Africa and Zimbabwe.
The number of PUs awarded is equal to the monetary value of the award divided by the "Fair Market Value" (as defined in the Plan) of the Company’s shares, being, in this case, the greater of (i) the closing price of Caledonia’s shares on the NYSE American on the trading day preceding the date of the award or (ii) the volume-weighted average closing price of Caledonia’s shares on the NYSE American for the five days preceding the date of the award, which resulted in a price of US$16.91.
The final number of PUs which vest on maturity of the awards will be adjusted to reflect the actual performance of the Company in terms of various operating metrics based on gold production and cost, subject to certain minimum and maximum thresholds.
Each PU that vests entitles the PDMR to receive one Caledonia common share (or a security representing a share) on the maturity of the award. Shares that are issued to PDMRs pursuant to vesting PUs are subject to a minimum holding period of one year in case vested awards become subject to forfeiture, reduction or cancellation.
