20. SHARE-BASED REMUNERATION SCHEMES<br />
A remuneration scheme linked to the listed value of shares approved in May 2007 was in force in the Group at 31 December <strong>2012</strong>. The changes in the number<br />
of rights granted within the framework of this Remuneration Scheme in <strong>2012</strong> and 2011 were as follows:<br />
Plan 2007<br />
In force at 31 December 2010 3,123,517<br />
Cancelled options (941,913)<br />
In force at 31 December 2011 2,181,604<br />
Cancelled options (118,075)<br />
In force at 31 December <strong>2012</strong> 2,063,529<br />
On 29 May 2007, the General Shareholders’ Meeting announced and approved a stock option plan called “Plan 2007” for specific employees of the Group,<br />
dividing them into two groups. Upon maturity of the scheme in April 2013, these employees will have received, as appropriate, remuneration equivalent to the<br />
difference between the exercise or “strike” price of the option and the settlement price, this being the list price of the shares over the last ten stock market<br />
sessions prior to the exercise date.<br />
The main characteristics of the Plan are as follows:<br />
- Beneficiaries: Employees of NH Hoteles, S.A. and its group of companies who have been designated by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee.<br />
At 31 December <strong>2012</strong>, 103 Group employees benefited from the scheme. These employees have been awarded a total of 2,063,529 options.<br />
- Maximum number of assignable options: 3,790,000 options.<br />
- Strike price: €17.66 for the first group, comprising 20 executives, and €15.27 for the second group, made up of 83 executives.<br />
As required by the Master Plan, this exercise price must be reduced by €0.71, the theoretical value of the preferential subscription right of the capital increase<br />
carried out in June 2009.<br />
This Plan is valued and booked in the consolidated comprehensive profit and loss statement, as indicated in Note 4.16. The impact of the Plan on the<br />
consolidated comprehensive profit and loss statement for <strong>2012</strong> led to a reduction of €400,000 (a reduction of €136,000 in 2011) in personnel expenses The<br />
main hypotheses used in the valuation of this Plan, which was granted in 2007, are as follows:<br />
- Period of employment before being able to exercise the option: Up to five years, the Plan’s maximum term (“equity swap”). The Plan may be<br />
exercised in thirds on an annual basis.<br />
- Risk-free rate: 1.59%<br />
- Return per dividend: 0.16%<br />
The Group entered into an equity swap arrangement in November 2007 to hedge against any possible financial liabilities arising from the exercise of this<br />
Incentive Plan linked to the listed value of shares. Subsequently, a novation amending this agreement was signed on 13 June 2009 to complement the financial<br />
hedge and adjust it to new market conditions.<br />
The main features of this agreement, after it was amended, are as follows:<br />
- The number of shares, which were initially equivalent to the maximum number of options granted, was increased to a total of 6,316,666 after the<br />
capital increase approved by the Parent Company General Shareholders’ Meeting on 16 June 2009.<br />
- The Group will pay the financial institution a return based on Euribor plus a spread to be applied on the result of multiplying the number of units<br />
by the initial price.<br />
- The Group may totally or partially rescind the agreement in advance, and should this be the case, if the share is listed below its initial price, the<br />
Group will pay the financial institution this difference. Should the list price be above the initial price, but below the strike prices, the Group will<br />
receive the difference between both amounts.<br />
Applying accounting standards, the Group allocated a provision of €40.34 million under liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at 31 December <strong>2012</strong>, in order to<br />
hedge against any eventual loss the bank could suffer as a result of the negative evolution of the price of the shares covered by the swap (see Note 25). The change<br />
in fair value of this financial instrument contributed €3 million to the consolidated comprehensive profit and loss statement in <strong>2012</strong> (a loss of €9.2 million in 2011).<br />
The details of the provision’s calculation at 31 December <strong>2012</strong> are as follows:<br />
€ Million<br />
Old shares New shares Total<br />
Number of stock options in the plan 3.79 2.53 6.32<br />
Required provision 50.60 5.68 56.28<br />
