• Equity instrument granted is the right (conditional or unconditional) to an
equity instrument of the entity conferred by the entity on another party under a
share-based payment arrangement.

• Measurement date is the date at which the fair value of the equity
instruments granted is measured for the purposes of PFRS 2.
a. For transactions with non-employees, the measurement date is the date
when the entity receives the good or service.
b. For transactions with employees and others providing similar
services, the measurement date is grant date.

• Grant date is the date at which the entity and the counterparty agree to a
share-based payment arrangement, being when the entity and the counterparty
have a shared understanding of the terms

Share-based compensation plans

• Share-based compensation plan is an arrangement whereby an

employee is given compensation in return for services rendered
in the form of the entity’s equity instruments or cash based on
the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or a choice of
settlement between equity instrument and cash. Examples:
a. Employee share options (equity-settled)
b. Employee share appreciation rights (cash settled)
c. Compensation plans with a choice of settlement between (1)
and (2) above

Employee share option plans – equity settled

• Share option is a contract that gives the holder the right,

but not the obligation, to subscribe to the entity’s shares
at a fixed or determinable price for a specified period of
time. Some share options given to employees may not
require any subscription price, meaning shares will be
issued to the employees in consideration merely for
services rendered.

Measurement of compensation

• Since employee share option plan is a transaction with an

employee, the following order of priority shall be used to
measure the services received (salaries expense):
1. Fair value of equity instruments granted at grant date
2. Intrinsic value

INTERMEDIATE ACCTG 2 (by:

Recognition of equity-settled share-based compensation plans

1. If the share options granted vest immediately, salaries expense

shall be recognized in full with a corresponding increase in equity
at grant date.

2. If the share options granted do not vest until the employee

completes a specified period of service, the entity shall recognize
the related compensation expense as the services are rendered by
the employee over the vesting period.

In the absence of evidence to the contrary, it shall be presumed that

the share options vest immediately.
