Engagement with shareholders regarding Momentum Metropolitan’s remuneration implementation
report
As disclosed above, the non-binding advisory resolution on the endorsement of the
remuneration policy achieved 86.22 shareholder support, exceeding the prescribed 75% majority
of votes.
The non-binding advisory resolution on the endorsement of the remuneration implementation
report achieved 51.04 approval from shareholders, therefore not achieving the required 75%
majority of votes.
In terms of the recommendations of the King IV Report on Corporate Governance for South
Africa, 2016 and paragraph 3.84(k) of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, engagement with
shareholders who voted against the remuneration implementation report, is required.
Momentum Metropolitan has already started engaging with shareholders who indicated concern
with regard to the remuneration implementation report.
We invite any other shareholders who voted against the implementation report to raise their
concerns or recommendations regarding the non-binding advisory resolution, directly with the
chairman of the Remuneration Committee, Peter Cooper, by sending written submissions to the
Group Company Secretary, Gcobisa Tyusha, at email address: gcobisa.tyusha@mmltd.co.za, by
close of business on Friday 11 December 2020. Those shareholders that have already provided
the Company with their concerns and recommendations need not resend these.
Subsequent to receipt of the submissions by shareholders, the Company will provide its
response to these shareholders.
Update regarding the October 2020 Long-term Incentive Plan (LTIP) performance vesting
conditions
Arising from the shareholder comments received to date, the following additional commentary
is offered to shareholders:
- Due to the difficulty in setting long-term performance targets that take account of the
uncertainty caused by Covid-19 and the related secondary economic impacts, performance
targets for the October 2020 LTIP award (maturing at the end the 2023 financial year)
were not yet formulated for inclusion in the Integrated Report published on 9 September
2020.
- After submissions by management, the Remuneration Committee only agreed the performance
targets for the October 2020 LTIP award on 30 October 2020.
- The approved performance targets (for the financial year ending 30 June 2023) are:
Lower normalised headline earnings target R3,7bn (20% weighting)
Upper normalised headline earnings target R4,2bn (20% weighting)
Return on Equity target 15% (30% weighting)
Total shareholder return Exceed average TSR of a peer group of
Sanlam, Old Mutual, Liberty and
Discovery (30% weighting)
Shareholders are reminded that while vesting is determined on 30 June 2023, participants only
receive settlement in the three years thereafter.
