EX-99.3 · (b) Performance Share Unit Plan
(b) Performance Share Unit Plan
The Company has a performance share unit ("PSU") plan pursuant to which the Compensation Committee may grant PSUs to Eligible Persons of the Company or its subsidiaries. Each PSU entitles the holder thereof to receiveone common share, its equivalent cash value, or a combination of both, on the redemption date at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.
The continuity of PSUs issued and outstanding is as follows:
| Year Ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2022 | |
| Outstanding balance, beginning of year | 881,788 | 793,043 |
| Issued | 437,204 | 344,549 |
| Settled | (238,881) | (212,765) |
| Forfeited | (112,190) | (43,039) |
| Outstanding balance, end of year | 967,921 | 881,788 |
These PSUs will vest three years from the date of grant by the Compensation Committee and the number of PSUs that will vest may range from 0% to 200% of the number granted, subject to the satisfaction of certain market and non-market performance conditions. Each vested PSU entitles the holder thereof to receive on or about the applicable date of vesting of such share unit (i)one common share; (ii) a cash amount equal to the fair market value ofone common share as at the applicable date of vesting; or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii), as determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion. The Company has elected to settle its PSUs using a combination of cash and common shares in the past. As such, based on its history of past settlements, PSUs are classified as liabilities.
For PSUs with non-market performance conditions, the fair value of the share units granted was initially recognized at the fair value using the share price at the date of grant, and subsequently remeasured at fair value on each balance sheet date. For PSUs with market performance conditions, the fair value was determined using a Geometric Brownian Motion model. As at December 31, 2023, the fair value of the PSU liability was $6.5 million (December 31, 2022 - $5.9 million) of which $3.9 million was recognized in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and the remainder in other non-current liabilities.
