Metalla grants stock options and restricted share units to executives and staff
Metalla Royalty & Streaming Ltd. has approved a package of equity awards under its annual grant program. The awards were disclosed following the company’s February 11, press release and were priced using the TSXV closing price on February 12, . The grants include both stock options and restricted share units (RSUs), each subject to defined vesting schedules and regulatory conditions.
What was granted, when and at what price
The company granted an aggregate of 475,700 stock options. Each vested option permits purchase of one common share at an exercise price of C$9.88, equal to the TSXV close on February 12, . The options carry a five-year term from the grant date. Vesting is staged: some awards vest over 12 months and others over 24 months.
In addition, Metalla issued a further 197,800 restricted share units, bringing the total RSUs granted to 445,175. The RSUs follow the same 12- and 24-month vesting cadence and do not require an exercise payment on vesting.
Option economics and holder alignment
The option exercise price establishes a baseline that recipients must exceed to realize gains. The five-year term provides a multi-year window for potential value creation. Staged vesting aims to retain contributors through key operational phases and to align recipient incentives with shareholder value.
From a strategic perspective, the mix of leverage and retention seeks to balance upside participation with predictable equity value for contributors.
How rsus complement options
RSUs deliver equity value on vesting without an exercise cost. They reduce downside exposure during volatile periods. Options offer leveraged upside above the C$9.88 strike. Combined, the instruments provide both immediate alignment and performance-linked opportunity.
Company focus and regulatory disclosures
Metalla acquires royalties and streaming interests that provide exposure to precious and base metals, including gold, silver and copper. The company said these awards form part of its effort to align management and stakeholder incentives with long-term shareholder value.
The company noted that the securities were not and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933. Accordingly, the securities cannot be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption.

The data shows a clear trend: companies continue to use blended equity packages to tie compensation to both retention and share-price performance. From a strategic perspective, Metalla’s grant mirrors that market approach while preserving flexibility through staggered vesting and a defined exercise price.
