Cash-settled scheme not settled by receiving entity
On 1 July 2013 an employee of S Limited, a subsidiary of the H plc group, is awarded a right, exercisable between 1 July 2018 and 1 July 2019, to receive cash equivalent to the value of 3,000 shares in H plc at the date on which the right is exercised. Exercise of the right is subject to certain performance criteria being met in the three years ending 30 June 2016. The cash will be paid to the employee not by S, but by H. Throughout the vesting period of the award, H and S take the view that it will vest in full.
The award does in fact vest, and the right is exercised on 1 September 2018.
The fair value of the award (per share-equivalent) at various relevant dates is as follows:
|

If the award had been equity-settled (i.e. the employee had instead been granted a right to 3,000 free shares), the grant date fair value of the award would have been £1.50 per share.
H plc and its subsidiaries have a 31 December year end.
