SHARE-BASED PAYMENT PLANS
30. SHARE-BASED PAYMENT PLANS
Plan liabilities are recognized at the fair value of the cash-settled transaction. Fair value is measured initially and at each year-end date up to and including the settlement date, with the change in fair value recognized as employee benefit expense (Note 25.) in the statement of income. Fair value is recognized as an expense over the period to the acquisition date, with a corresponding liability recognized.

Participants in the Plan will be entitled to the grant of a certain number of units representing one share issued by the Company (VIVT3) (“Unit” and “Share”).
