Ryder plc granted share appreciation rights (SARs) to its employees on 1 November 2022 based
on ten million shares. The SARs provide employees at the date the rights are exercised with the
right to receive cash equal to the appreciation in the company’s share price since the grant date.
The rights vested on 31 October 2024 and payment was made on schedule on 1 December 2024.
The fair value of the SARs per share at 31 October 2023 was $6, at 31 October 2024 was $8 and
at 1 December 2024 was $9. The company has recognised a liability for the SARs as at 31 October
2023 based upon IFRS2 ‘Share-based Payment’ but the liability was stated at the same amount at
31 October 2024.
No employees were expected to or did leave during the years 2022 to 2024.
REQUIRED

statements of Ryder plc for the year ended 31 October 2024, considering the implications of events
