Cotec Holdings grants stock options, RSUs, and DSUs according to the long-term incentive plan

Canadian resource technology company CTH Holdings announced a long-term compensation plan for employees and the board of directors. The company stated that on the 1st, based on the closing price of CAD 1.34 on April 30, stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), and deferred stock units (DSUs) were granted.

This compensation is implemented under the company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). The grant date is April 30, 2026, with the TSX risk trading exchange closing price of CAD 1.34 as the benchmark. Converted to Korean won, it is approximately 1,979 KRW.

Grant of 598,274 stock options to employees

CTH Holdings granted a total of 598,274 incentive stock options to employees. The exercise price is set at CAD 1.34 per common share, with a 10-year exercise period.

The vesting structure is divided into three equal parts each year. The first vesting occurs 12 months after the grant date. This is interpreted as a typical compensation structure aimed at encouraging long-term employment and performance.

Approximately 1.36 million RSUs granted to executives and advisors

A total of 1,364,482 restricted stock units (RSUs) were issued. Of these, 1,329,557 shares were allocated to company executives, and 34,925 shares to advisors.

RSUs also vest in three equal parts over three years. The first vesting date is 12 months after issuance. This can be seen as an effort to expand stock-based compensation rather than cash compensation, aligning management interests with those of the company.

213,919 DSUs provided to the board of directors

The board members received a total of 213,919 deferred stock units (DSUs). This represents a portion of director compensation converted from cash to stock-linked form.

DSUs vest 12 months after issuance. This structure is generally viewed as a mechanism to encourage directors to focus more on enhancing corporate value rather than short-term rewards.

Focus on rare earth magnets and strategic mineral supply chains

CTH Holdings emphasizes rare earth magnet recycling and building strategic mineral supply chains as core businesses. The company states that its focus is on combining resource extraction and recycling technologies to establish low-cost and stable supply chains.

Main business areas include: a magnet recycling joint venture project in Texas, USA (HyProMac USA), reprocessing of iron tailings in Quebec, Canada, and investments in next-generation copper-iron technologies. The company cites energy transition needs and the US’s economic and security requirements as the background for business expansion.

The issuance of long-term compensation demonstrates that CTH Holdings values retaining core talent during its technology development and asset expansion phases. However, as the company also notes, future performance may be affected by variables such as technological commercialization, industry adoption, regulatory environment, and capital market conditions.
