Basic information on the ČEZ option programme
- Option programme is a standard tool for motivating the company management connecting its interests with interests of the shareholders. Option programme of this kind are used in practice by all significant publicly listed companies. - The ČEZ option programme was approved by the ČEZ general meeting in 2001. At that time it did not refer to anyone of the current members of the executive board. - Information on the option programme were published during its approval in 2001- Till the beginning of 2004, the price of the ČEZ shares virtually stagnated and the option programme did not bring the beneficiaries any remarkable revenues- Since spring 2004, the share price started to rise systematically after the new ČEZ management had entered into its office, which in addition to shareholders‘ gains also caused rise in revenues from the option programme of the managementOption programme mechanism:
To whom it refers: The executive boardMembers of the ČEZ executive committee (claim to sign an option contract arises 3 months after entering into office)What it comprises: Possibility to buy company shares for the price before their entering into office (Option is a standard financial product – advantage for the participants of the programme is that they do not have to pay for it and that they can choose moment of its execution) Rules:- Participation in the option programme is a one-time step (value of the potential revenue cannot therefore be added to the annual salary)- Option value depends on share value (it changes in time both upwards and downwards) – till the moment of option execution and sale of share it is therefore not possible to set the exact revenue- Participants of the programme have to buy shares for their own money and pay income tax from the difference between acquisition value and current value – net revenue is therefore significantly lowerResults of the option programme:
The ČEZ option programme certainly contributed to the fact that the market capitalization of the company rose more than 5 times in the last two years and a half, i.e. by 460 milliard crowns (two thirds of it fall on the state). Due to effective management, cost reductions and cautious investments abroad, the ČEZ value rises significantly faster than value of other energetic companies, even though electricity prices in the CR rise slower than in all other neighbouring countries.Rise in electricity price in 2004-2006 | Rise in the ČEZ/utility share prices**) | ||
