Analysis · FGL · Real Estate & Construction
The board granted CEO Lee Seng Chi and Director Thien Chiet Chai special performance awards totaling RM52.5 million (~US$13 million) in newly issued Class B shares. The awards vest only if the two executives cumulatively secure RM1.5 billion in future contracts within five years — a demanding target that ties compensation directly to revenue generation. The share issuance is modest relative to the company's market cap, but the award size is substantial for a company of this scale and signals the board's confidence in the executives' ability to win large contracts, particularly in the solar EPC space where the company has been active.
