Atlantic Lithium awards over 1.4m performance rights to key employees for Ewoyaa Lithium Project

Atlantic Lithium has allocated 1,402,492 unlisted performance rights to key senior employees directly involved in advancing the Ewoyaa Lithium Project.

These rights, which are linked to new ordinary shares and granted at no cost, are contingent upon stringent performance benchmarks established by the Board.

Additionally, employees must remain with the company through the conclusion of the measurement period on July 30, 2026, to fully benefit.

The performance evaluation period commenced on July 31, 2023, and will run until July 30, 2026.

According to a statement by Atlantic Lithium, these performance rights fall under the company’s ASX listing rule 7.1 capacity, bypassing the need for shareholder approval.

The purpose of these rights is to align employee incentives with Atlantic Lithium’s long-term growth strategy.

The Remuneration & Nomination Committee emphasizes that these rights are crucial for attracting, retaining, and motivating top talent, which is essential to the company’s aggressive expansion plans.
