The fortnightly payments will be automatically deducted from the manager’s salary and held until either: the end of the two-year period when the manager exercises their right to the share options; or earlier, within the two-year period, if the manager chooses to opt out of this arrangement and be refunded their contributions. Sebastian Ltd estimates the annual expense for this share-based payment plan to be $2000.
