26. Share-based payments
Prior to the Transaction
Prior to the Transaction, Cazoo Holdings operated two equity-settled share-based incentive scheme. Options were granted under both the government approved Enterprise Management Incentive (“EMI”) scheme and as Unapproved share options. The options vested in instalments over four years with expiry after ten years. Unvested options were forfeited if the employee left the Group before the options vested.
The Transaction
(i) EMI options
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Group established the Incentive Equity Plan. At the closing of the Transaction, 34,690 vested EMI options were exercised for Cazoo Holdings shares and sold for cash at a value of £0.4 million.
Any vested EMI options which were not exercised were replaced by options to purchase Class C Shares of Cazoo Group Ltd under the Incentive Equity Plan. The replacement options were granted as if they had been granted on the same date as the original Cazoo Holdings option at the same exercise price with the same vesting schedule. The fair value of the Cazoo Group Ltd options was equal to the fair value of the Cazoo Holdings options immediately prior to the replacement. Therefore, the initial share-based payment charge profile has not been impacted.
The Group permitted unvested EMI options to be accelerated and exercised in connection with the Transaction. Under a ‘reverse vesting’ agreement, participants were only able to receive Listco shares in connection with the exercise, with any cash arising from the mix and match process being reinvested in further Listco shares. All shares acquired from the unvested EMI options continued under their initial EMI vesting schedules, subject to forfeiture in accordance with the reverse vesting agreement.
(ii) Unapproved options
At the closing of the Transaction, 44,114 vested Unapproved options were exercised for Cazoo Holdings shares and sold for cash at a value of £0.4 million. The cash settled options were treated as a modification in accordance with IFRS 2. The modification date fair value of the share-based payment was greater than the grant date fair value given the increase in the fair value of Cazoo shares since the grant date. As a result, the increase in fair value of £1.1 million was recognized as an additional share-based charge in the statement of profit or loss.
The vested Unapproved options which were not cash-settled and the unvested Unapproved options were replaced by options to purchase Class C Shares of Cazoo Group Ltd under the Incentive Equity Plan. The replacements were granted as if they had been granted on the same date as the original Cazoo Holdings option at the same exercise price with the same vesting schedule. The fair value of the Cazoo Group Ltd options was equal to the fair value of the Cazoo Holdings options immediately prior to the replacement. Therefore, the initial share-based payment charge profile has not been impacted.
After the Transaction
Under the Incentive Equity Plan, the Group operates an equity settled share-based incentive scheme whereby options are granted under Unapproved share options for UK-based employees and Restricted Stock Units for Europe-based employees. The options vest in instalments over four years with expiry after ten years. Unvested options are forfeited if the employee leaves the Group before the options vest.
Certain executive directors received awards, equally split between time-based and performance-based awards. Under the terms of the Incentive Equity Plan, the time-based awards will be eligible to vest in equal annual instalments on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date, subject to continued employment through each such anniversary, and market performance criteria. Any portion of the performance-based awards that remain unvested as of the fifth anniversary of the grant will be forfeited.
