1. Poseidon & Sail Ltd granted 300,000 options to its CEO Artemis Lee. The options vest in the first year if Poseidon & Sail Ltd makes a return on assets of 12% in year 1, in the second year if Poseidon & Sail Ltd makes an average return on assets of 10% across the first two years; otherwise they vest over three years. As at the time they were granted, the options are worth $5 each. At the end of the first year, Poseidon & Sail Ltd made a return on assets of 8% and forecasted the same return on assets for the next two years. However, due to Artemis Lees hard work, Poseidon & Sail Ltd made a return on assets of 13% in year 2 and 3.
