Section 26 – Example – 1 – Accounting policy notes – Share-based payment
Example 29: Extract from the accounting policy notes
Share based costs

The company participates in a number of equity-settled, share based compensation plans operated by its parent company, XXXXX Limited.  The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options or shares is recognised as an expense.  The parent undertaking does not immediately recharge the company for these expenses so they are shown as a capital contribution/share based payment reserves from the parent undertaking within other reserves.  Where any subsequent recharge is not, in the opinion of the directors, clearly linked to the share based payment charge, the amount is treated in a manner similar to a management recharge.

The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options, shares or Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) granted, excluding the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets).  Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options or shares that are expected to vest.  At each balance sheet date, the entity revised its estimates of the number of options of shares that are expected to vest.  It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the income statement, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

Fair value of options is measured using the Black Scholes model.

OR

The fair value of shares awarded under the XXX plan are determined using a Monte Carlo simulation technique. The plan contains inter alia a Total Shareholder Return (TSR) based (and hence market-based) vesting condition and, accordingly, the fair value assigned to the related equity instruments on initial application of Section 26 is adjusted so as to reflect the anticipated likelihood at the grant date of achieving the market-based vesting condition.

OR

The company operates a share appreciation rights scheme whereby senior management are offered share appreciation rights. This scheme provides the employees with the right to receive, at the date rights are exercised, cash equal to the appreciation in the entity’s share price since the grant date. The rights vest within 3-5 years of being granted. For cash-settled share-based payment transactions, the company measures the goods or services acquired and the liability incurred at the fair value of the liability. Until the liability is settled, the company remeasures the fair value of the liability at each reporting date and at the date of settlement, with any changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss for the period.

The fair value is measured by reference to the price quoted on the stock exchange OR he fair value is measured by using the Black Scholes model OR an Option pricing model.

The carrying amount of the liability with regard to these share appreciation rights is disclosed in note X to the financial statements.

Example 30: Extract from the notes to the financial statements
Share based payments

The ultimate parent company XXXXXX. provides employees, on a discretionary basis, with share options and restricted stock (the ‘Awards’) that need to be accounted for under Section 26 “Share based payments”.

Awards are granted to directors and selected employees.  Awards are conditional on the employee completing a specified period of service (the vesting period) and have a contractual term of five years.  The ultimate Parent has no legal or constructive obligation to repurchase or settle the Awards in cash.  The exercise price for stock options may not be less than the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant and options generally will expire no later than XXX years after the date on which they are granted.

The total charge in the year relating to employee share based payment plans was €XXXX (2014: €XXX) all of which related to equity settled share based payment transactions.

IF APPLICABLE INCLUDE THE BELOW

Of the €XXXX, €XXX relates to the 2015 Section 26 charge and €XXX relates to a recharge from group.  The €XXX is not directly attributable to shares and therefore treated as a management recharge in accordance with XXXX Limited accounting policy.
