At Link Group's AGM later this month, shareholders will be asked to add incoming chief Vivek Bhatia to the company's long-term executive incentive scheme. This would have the effect of granting him 482,649 zero-priced share options, subject to meeting set performance hurdles over the next five years. But, as is typical in such schemes, in the case of a change of control transaction, the Michael Carapiet-led board would be able to immediately vest these options, subject to its own discretion.
