This excerpt taken from the BHP 20-F filed Sep 14, 2009. Shares received In December 2007, Mr Kloppers was awarded 27,582 Deferred Shares, representing a match to his short-term cash incentive for the year ended 30 June 2007. The end of the holding period was 30 June 2009. The shares vested and became exercisable on 12 August 2009. In December 2004, Mr Kloppers was awarded 225,000 Performance Shares as his long-term incentive award for 2004. The conditions on which they would vest were set out in the Long Term Incentive Plan, which was approved by shareholders in 2004. Those conditions required BHP Billiton to deliver a total shareholder return of 30.7 per cent above the median of an index of peer companies over the five-year performance period, which ended on 30 June 2009. BHP Billiton’s actual performance was 220 per cent compared with the comparator group’s 71.8 per cent, resulting in full vesting. The shares vested and became exercisable on 12 August 2009. |
