Doctors Hospital Health System Limited Launches Employee Share Participation Plan

NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Doctors Hospital Health System Limited (DHHS) today announced the launch of its Employee Share Participation Plan (the Plan), now open to over 800 full time employees across the Health System. This initiative demonstrates the continued commitment of Doctors Hospital and its Board of Directors to empower associates, reward exceptional performance, and foster deeper participation in the company’s future growth and results.

The Plan allows for eligible employees who have maintained certain performance criteria, at certain designated intervals throughout the year, to purchase shares of the Company at a discounted rate of 20% off the BISX-listed market price . The Company may also grant eligible employees shares in lieu of cash bonuses or profit sharing incentives.  The Plan is designed to recognize exceptional leadership, commitment, and performance.

All participants must comply with the Company’s Restricted Trading Rules, which limit share transactions to defined windows following the release of the Company’s quarterly and annual financial results. The Plan is administered by RF Bank & Trust (Bahamas) Limited on behalf of the Company.

Yesterday’s inaugural launch of the Plan saw the transfer of 35,223 common shares to Doctors Hospital employees.  This brings the total number of common shares outstanding to 24,978,491.
