Sany Group has announced the 2023 employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). This is the fourth consecutive year that Sany has launched the ESOP, which gives employees an opportunity to own shares in the company through the setting up of incentive funds. The 2023 ESOP has set up a fund size of around $82 million with a share repurchase price planned at $2.24. The capital will be from the incentive funds accrued following relevant provisions of the group. Sany has always focused on improving employee benefits and adhering to the principle of growing together, pursuing common development, and sharing achievements. By establishing a comprehensive incentive and restraining mechanism, it aims to inspire employees' enthusiasm and creativity and align the interests of shareholders, the listed company, and individuals.
