Stock-Based Compensation [Abstract] |
Stock-Based Compensation | 16. STOCK - BASED COMPENSATION Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan The Company’s Amended and Restated 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) was most recently amended and restated on November 11, 2015, after approval by shareholders. No evergreen provisions are included in the Plan. This means that the maximum number of shares issuable under the Plan is fixed and cannot be increased without shareholder approval, the plan expires by its terms upon a specified date, and no new stock options are awarded automatically upon exercise of an outstanding stock option. Shareholder approval is required for the repricing of awards or the implementation of any award exchange program. The Plan permits Net1 to grant to its employees, directors and consultants incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance-based awards and other awards based on its common stock. The Remuneration Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (“Remuneration Committee”) administers the Plan. The total number of shares of common stock issuable under the Plan is 11,052,580 . The maximum number of shares for which awards, other than performance-based awards, may be granted in any combination during a calendar year to any participant is 569,120 . The maximum limits on performance-based awards that any participant may be granted during a calendar year are 569,120 shares subject to stock option awards and $ 20 million with respect to awards other than stock options. Shares that are subject to awards which terminate or lapse without the payment of consideration may be granted again under the Plan. Shares delivered to the Company as part or full payment for the exercise of an option or to satisfy withholding obligations upon the exercise of an option may be granted again under the Plan in the Remuneration Committee’s discretion. No awards may be granted under the Plan after August 19, 2025, but awards granted on or before such date may extend to later dates. Options General Terms of Awards Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company's stock at the date of grant, with vesting conditioned upon the recipient’s continuous service through the applicable vesting date and expire 10 years after the date of grant. The options generally become exercisable in accordance with a vesting schedule ratably over a period of three years from the date of grant. The Company issues new shares to satisfy stock option award exercises but may also use treasury shares. Valuation Assumptions The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Cox Ross Rubinstein binomial model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. The estimated expected volatility is generally calculated based on the Company’s 750 -day volatility. The estimated expected life of the option was determined based on historical behavior of employees who were granted options with similar terms. 16. STOCK - BASED COMPENSATION (continued) Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan (continued) Options (continued) Valuation Assumptions (continued) The table below presents the range of assumptions used to value options granted during the years ended 2021, 2020 and 2019: 2021 2020 2019 Expected volatility 62 % 57 % 44 % Expected dividends 0 % 0 % 0 % Expected life (in years) 3 3 3 Risk-free rate 0.19 % 1.57 % 2.75 % Restricted Stock General Terms of Awards Shares of restricted stock are considered to be participating non-vested equity shares (specifically contingently returnable shares) for the purposes of calculating earnings per share (refer to Note 18) because, as discussed in more detail below, the recipient is obligated to transfer any unvested restricted stock back to the Company for no consideration and these shares of restricted stock are eligible to receive non-forfeitable dividend equivalents at the same rate as common stock. Restricted stock generally vests ratably over a three year period, with vesting conditioned upon the recipient’s continuous service through the applicable vesting date and under certain circumstances, the achievement of certain performance targets, as described below. Recipients are entitled to all rights of a shareholder of the Company except as otherwise provided in the restricted stock agreements. These rights include the right to vote and receive dividends and/or other distributions. However, the restricted stock agreements generally prohibit transfer of any nonvested and forfeitable restricted stock. If a recipient ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors or an employee for any reason, all shares of restricted stock that are not then vested and nonforfeitable will be immediately forfeited and transferred to the Company for no consideration. Forfeited shares of restricted stock are available for future issuances by the Remuneration Committee. The Company issues new shares to satisfy restricted stock awards. Valuation Assumptions The fair value of restricted stock is generally based on the closing price of the Company’s stock quoted on The Nasdaq Global Select Market on the date of grant. Forfeiture of 150,000 shares of restricted stock with Performance Conditions awarded in August 2016 In August 2016, the Remuneration Committee approved an award of 350,000 shares of restricted stock to executive officers. In May 2017, the Company determined to accelerate the vesting of all ( 200,000 ) of the shares of restricted stock awarded to its former CEO. The shares of restricted stock awarded to executive officers in August 2016 were subject to time-based and performance-based vesting conditions. In order for any of the shares to vest, the recipient was required to remain employed by the Company on a full- time basis on the date that it files its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. If that condition is satisfied, then the shares will vest based on the level of Fundamental EPS the Company achieves for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 (“2019 Fundamental EPS”), as follows: ● One-third of the shares will vest if the Company achieves 2019 Fundamental EPS of $ 2.60 ; ● Two-thirds of the shares will vest if the Company achieves 2019 Fundamental EPS of $ 2.80 ; and ● All of the shares will vest if the Company achieves 2019 Fundamental EPS of $ 3.00 . At levels of 2019 Fundamental EPS greater than $ 2.60 and less than $ 3.00 , the number of shares that will vest will be determined by linear interpolation relative to 2019 Fundamental EPS of $ 2.80 . All shares of restricted stock have been valued utilizing the closing price of shares of the Company’s common stock quoted on The Nasdaq Global Select Market on the date of grant . 16. STOCK - BASED COMPENSATION (continued) Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan (continued) Restricted Stock (continued) Forfeiture of 150,000 shares of restricted stock with Performance Conditions awarded in August 2016 (continued) Any shares that did not vest in accordance with the above-described conditions would be forfeited. During the year ended June 30, 2019, the Company reversed the stock-based compensation charge recognized related to 150,000 shares of restricted stock because the Company did not achieve the 2019 Fundamental EPS target. The 150,000 shares of restricted stock were forfeited. Forfeiture of 150,000 shares of restricted stock with Market Conditions awarded in August 2017 In August 2017, the Remuneration Committee approved an award of 210,000 shares of restricted stock to executive officers. The shares of restricted stock awarded to executive officers in August 2017 were subject to a time-based vesting condition and a market condition and would vest in full only on the date, if any, that the following conditions were satisfied: (1) the price of the Company’s common stock must equal or exceed certain agreed VWAP levels (as described below) during a measurement period commencing on the date that it filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 and ending on December 31, 2020 and (2) the recipient is employed by the Company on a full-time basis when the condition in (1) is met. If either of these conditions was not satisfied, then none of the shares of restricted stock would vest and they would be forfeited. The $ 23.00 price target represents an approximate 35 % increase, compounded annually, in the price of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq over the $ 9.38 closing price on August 23, 2017. The VWAP levels and vesting percentages related to such levels were as follows: ● Below $ 15.00 (threshold)— 0 % ● At or above $ 15.00 and below $ 19.00 — 33 % ● At or above $ 19.00 and below $ 23.00 — 66 % ● At or above $ 23.00 — 100 % The 210,000 shares of restricted stock were effectively forward starting knock-in barrier options with multi-strike prices of zero . The fair value of these shares of restricted stock was calculated utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation model which was developed for the purpose of the valuation of these shares. For each simulated share price path, the market share price condition was evaluated to determine whether or not the shares would vest under that simulation. A standard Geometric Brownian motion process was used in the forecasting of the share price instead of a “jump diffusion” model, as the share price volatility was more stable compared to the highly volatile regime of previous years. Therefore, the simulated share price paths capture the idiosyncrasies of the observed Company share price movements. In scenarios where the shares do not vest, the final vested value at maturity is zero. In scenarios where vesting occurs, the final vested value on maturity is the share price on vesting date. The value of the grant is the average of the discounted vested values. The Company used an expected volatility of 44.0 %, an expected life of approximately three years , a risk-free rate ranging between 1.275 % to 1.657 % and no future dividends in its calculation of the fair value of the restricted stock. The estimated expected volatility was calculated based on the Company’s 30 day VWAP share price using the exponentially weighted moving average of returns. On August 5, 2020, the Company and its then chief executive officer and member of its board of directors, Mr. Herman G. Kotzé, entered into a Separation and Release of Claims Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”). The parties agreed that Mr. Kotzé’s last day of employment with the Company would be September 30, 2020, unless terminated earlier by the Company for cause. Upon separation from the Company, Mr. Kotzé forfeited 150,000 shares of restricted stock that were subject to the market conditions described above because he was no longer an employee of the Company as of the vesting date. The VWAP market conditions were not achieved and all outstanding shares of restricted stock wer e forfeited on December 31, 2020 . 16. STOCK - BASED COMPENSATION (continued) Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan (continued) Restricted Stock (continued) Market Conditions - Restricted Stock Granted in September 2018 In September 2018, the Remuneration Committee approved an award of 148,000 shares of restricted stock to executive officers. The 148,000 shares of restricted stock awarded to executive officers in September 2018 are subject to a time-based vesting condition and a market condition and vest in full only on the date, if any, that the following conditions are satisfied: (1) the price of the Company’s common stock must equal or exceed certain agreed VWAP levels (as described below) during a measurement period commencing on the date that it files its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 and ending on December 31, 2021 and (2) the recipient is employed by the Company on a full-time basis when the condition in (1) is met. If either of these conditions is not satisfied, then none of the shares of restricted stock will vest and they will be forfeited. The $ 23.00 price target represents an approximate 55 % increase, compounded annually, in the price of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq over the $ 6.20 closing price on September 7, 2018. The VWAP levels and vesting percentages related to such levels are as follows: ● Below $ 15.00 (threshold)— 0 % ● At or above $ 15.00 and below $ 19.00 — 33 % ● At or above $ 19.00 and below $ 23.00 — 66 % ● At or above $ 23.00 — 100 % The fair value of these shares of restricted stock was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation of a stochastic volatility process. The choice of a stochastic volatility process as an extension to the standard Black Scholes process was driven by both observations of larger than expected moves in the daily time series for the Company’s VWAP price, but also the observation of the strike structure of volatility (i.e. skew and smile) for out-of-the money calls and out-of-the money puts versus at-the-money options for both the Company’s stock and NASDAQ futures. In scenarios where the shares do not vest, the final vested value at maturity is zero. In scenarios where vesting occurs, the final vested value on maturity is the share price on vesting date. In its calculation of the fair value of the restricted stock, the Company used an average volatility of 37.4 % for the VWAP price, a discounting based on USD overnight indexed swap rates for the grant date, and no future dividends. The average volatility was extracted from the time series for VWAP prices as the standard deviation of log prices for the three years preceding the grant date. The mean reversion of volatility and the volatility of volatility parameters of the stochastic volatility process were extracted by regressing log differences against log levels of volatility from the time series for at-the-money options 30 day volatility quotes, which were available from January 2, 2018 onwards. Executive officers forfeited 88,000 shares of restricted stock that were subject to the market conditions described above following their separation from the Company during the year ended June 30, 2021. Performance Conditions - Restricted Stock Granted in February 2020 The 454,400 shares of restricted stock awarded to executive officers in February 2020 are subject to time-based and performance- based vesting conditions and vest in full only on the date, if any, that the following conditions are satisfied: (1) the achievement of an agreed return on average net equity per year during a measurement period commencing from July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2023, and (2) the recipient is employed by the Company on a full-time basis when the condition in (1) is met. Net equity is calculated as total equity attributable to the Company’s shareholders plus redeemable common stock, in conformity with GAAP. The net equity as of June 30, 2021, was set as the base year for the measurement period. The average net equity is calculated as the simple average between the opening net equity and closing net equity during each fiscal year within the measurement period. The targeted return per year within the measurement period is derived from GAAP net income attributable to the Company per fiscal year. The performance-based awards vest based on the achievement of the following targeted return on average net equity during the measurement period, of: ● 8 % per year: 50 % vest; ● 14 % per year: 100 % vest. No shares of restricted stock will vest at a return on average net equity of less than 8 %. Calculation of the award based on the returns between 8 % and 14 % will be interpolated on a linear basis. The Company’s Remuneration Committee may use its discretion to adjust any component of the calculation of the award on a fact - by - fact basis, for instance, as the result of an acquisition. 16. STOCK - BASED COMPENSATION (continued) Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan (continued) Restricted Stock (continued) Performance Conditions - Restricted Stock Granted in February 2020 (continued) Executive officers forfeited 374,400 shares of restricted stock that were subject to the performance conditions described following their separation from the Company during the year ended June 30, 2021. Market Conditions - Restricted Stock Granted in May 2021 In May 2021, the Remuneration Committee approved an award of 158,734 shares of restricted stock to executive officers. The 158,734 shares of restricted stock awarded to executive officers in May 2021 are subject to a time-based vesting condition and a market condition and vest in full only on the date, if any, that the following conditions are satisfied: (1) a compounded annual 20 % appreciation in the Company’s stock price over the measurement period commencing on June 30, 2021 through June 30, 2024, and (2) the recipient is employed by the Company on a full-time basis when the condition in (1) is met. If either of these conditions is not satisfied, then none of the shares of restricted stock will vest and they will be forfeited. The Company’s closing stock price on Nasdaq on June 30, 2021, was $ 4.71 . The appreciation levels (times and price) and vesting percentages as of each period ended related to such levels are as follows: ● Prior to the first anniversary of the grant date: 0 % ● Fiscal 2022, stock price as of June 30, 2022 is 1.2 times higher (i.e. $ 5.65 or higher) than $ 4.71 : 33 %; ● Fiscal 2023, stock price as of June 30, 2023 is 1.44 times higher (i.e. $ 6.78 or higher) than $ 4.71 : 67 %; ● Fiscal 2024, stock price as of June 30, 2024 is 1.728 times higher (i.e. $ 8.14 ) than $ 4.71 : 100 %. The fair value of these shares of restricted stock was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation of a stochastic volatility process. The choice of a stochastic volatility process as an extension to the standard Black Scholes process was driven by both observations of larger than expected moves in the daily time series for the Company’s closing price, but also the observation of the strike structure of volatility (i.e. skew and smile) for out-of-the money calls and out-of-the money puts versus at-the-money options for both the Company’s stock and NASDAQ futures. In scenarios where the shares do not vest, the final vested value at maturity is zero. In scenarios where vesting occurs, the final vested value on maturity is the share price on vesting date. In its calculation of the fair value of the restricted stock, the Company used an average volatility of 61.6 % for the closing price, a discounting based on USD overnight indexed swap rates for the grant date, and no future dividends. The average volatility was extracted from the time series for closing prices as the standard deviation of log prices for the three years preceding the grant date. The mean reversion of volatility and the volatility of volatility parameters of the stochastic volatility process were extracted by regressing log differences against log levels of volatility from the time series for at-the-money options 30 day volatility quotes, which were available for the three years preceding May 5, 2021. Stock Appreciation Rights The Remuneration Committee may also grant stock appreciation rights, either singly or in tandem with underlying stock options. Stock appreciation rights entitle the holder upon exercise to receive an amount in any combination of cash or shares of common stock (as determined by the Remuneration Committee) equal in value to the excess of the fair market value of the shares covered by the right over the grant price. No stock appreciation rights have been granted. 16. STOCK - BASED COMPENSATION (continued) Stock option and restricted stock activity Options The following table summarizes stock option activity for the years ended June 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019: Number of shares Weighted average exercise price ($) Weighted average remaining contractual term (in years) Aggregate intrinsic value ($'000) Weighted average grant date fair value ($) Outstanding - July 1, 2018 809,274 13.99 2.67 370 4.20 Granted – September 2018 600,000 6.20 10.00 1,212 2.02 Expired unexercised (370,000) 19.27 - 5.00 Forfeited (174,695) 6.65 - 2.00 Outstanding - June 30, 2019 864,579 7.81 7.05 - 2.62 Granted – October 2019 561,000 3.07 10.00 676 1.20 Forfeited (93,928) 7.50 - 2.81 Outstanding - June 30, 2020 1,331,651 5.83 7.56 - 2.01 Granted – August 2020 150,000 3.50 3.00 166 1.11 Granted – November 2020 560,000 3.01 10.00 691 1.23 Exercised (17,335) 3.07 35 Forfeited (729,484) 6.65 - 2.24 Outstanding - June 30, 2021 1,294,832 3.93 7.68 1,624 1.45 These options have an exercise price range of $3.01 to $11.23. On August 5, 2020, the Company granted one of its non-employee directors, Mr. Ali Mazanderani, in his capacity as a consultant to the Company, 150,000 stock options with an exercise price of $ 3.50 . These stock options are subject to the non-employee director’s continuous service through the applicable vesting date, and half of the options vest on each of the first and second anniversaries of the grant date. During the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, 331,833 and 170,335 stock options became exercisable, respectively. No stock options became exercisable during the year ended June 30, 2019. During the year ended June 30, 2021, the Company received approximately $ 0.5 million from the exercise of 17,335 stock options. No stock options were exercised during the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the years ended June 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, employees forfeited 729,484 , 93,928 and 174,695 stock options, respectively. The number of forfeitures during the year ended June 30, 2021, increased significantly compared to prior periods as a result of the closure of our IPG operations during the latter half of calendar 2020 and the unrelated (to the IPG closure) resignation of various employees in the first half of calendar 2021. These stock options forfeited had strike prices ranging from $ 3.01 to $ 11.23 . In addition, the Company’s former chief executive officer forfeited 250,034 stock options with strike prices ranging from $ 6.20 to $ 11.23 per share following his separation from the Company. During the year ended June 30, 2019, 200,000 stock options awarded in August 2008 and 170,000 stock options awarded in May 2009 expired unexercised. 1 6.

During the year ended June 30, 2021, 244,500 shares of restricted stock with time-based vesting conditions vested. In connection with the Company’s former chief executive officer’s separation, the Company agreed to accelerate the vesting of 66,800 shares of restricted stock which were granted in February 2020, and which were subject to time-based vesting. These shares of restricted stock vested on September 30, 2020. The 644,200 shares of restricted stock that were forfeited during the year ended June 30, 2021, includes 475,200 shares of restricted stock forfeited by the Company’s former chief executive officer upon his separation from the Company. The 30,000 shares were forfeited by an executive officer as the market condition (related to share price performance) was not achieved. The February 2020 grants comprise 113,600 shares of restricted stock awarded to executive officers that are subject to time- based vesting and 454,400 shares of restricted stock awarded to executive officers that are subject to performance and time-based vesting. On March 1, 2018, 22,817 shares of restricted stock with time-based vesting conditions were granted to our chief financial officer and these awards vest in two tranches, of which 11,408 vested on March 1, 2020, and 11,409 vested on March 1, 2019. During the year ended June 30, 2020, employees forfeited 17,500 shares of restricted stock upon termination and 7,500 shares (50% of the original award) of restricted stock with time-based vesting conditions were forfeited by an executive officer upon the disposal of Net1 Korea. The Company’s Board of Directors accelerated the vesting of the other half of the award and 7,500 vested. The September 2018 grants comprise 148,000 shares of restricted stock awarded to executive officers that are subject to market and time-based vesting. On March 1, 2019, 11,409 of the 22,817 shares of restricted stock awarded to our chief financial officer vested. The 52,594 shares of restricted stock represent awards made to non-employee directors that vested. During the year ended June 30, 2019, employees forfeited 115,500 shares of restricted stock upon termination which had either time-based or market conditions. In addition, an executive officer forfeited 150,000 shares of restricted stock as the performance conditions were not achieved. 16. STOCK - BASED COMPENSATION (continued) Restricted stock (continued) The fair value of restricted stock which vested during the years ended June 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, was $ 1.0 million, $ 0.1 million and $ 0.5 million, respectively. July 1 award to new Group Chief Executive Officer On June 30, 2021, the Company entered into employment agreements with Mr. Chris G.B. Myer, under which Mr. Meyer was appointed Group Chief Executive Officer of the Company effective July 1, 2021. Mr. Meyer was awarded 117,304 shares of restricted stock on July 1, 2021, which were subject to time-based vesting and vest in full on June 30, 2024 , subject to Mr. Meyer’s continued service to the Company through June 30, 2024. In addition, under the terms of Mr. Meyer’s engagement, the Company’s Remuneration Committee also awarded Mr. Meyer 117,304 shares of restricted stock which include performance conditions and which only vested on June 30, 2024 if the conditions are met and Mr. Meyer remains employed with the Company through June 30, 2024. Vesting of half of these awards, or 58,652 shares of restricted stock, is subject to the Company achieving its three-year financial services plan during the specific measurement period from June 30, 2021, to June 30, 2024, and the other half is subject to share price growth targets, and only vest if the Company’s share price is $ 8.14 or higher on June 30, 2024. The parties also agreed that, on or about January 1, 2022, the Company will issue such number of shares of restricted stock equal to the aggregate amount of the Company’s common stock purchased by Mr. Meyer between when the Company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2021.

STOCK - BASED COMPENSATION (continued) Stock-based compensation charge and unrecognized compens ation cost (continued) As of June 30, 2021, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options was approximately $ 0.8 million, which the Company expects to recognize over approximately two years . As of June 30, 2021, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock awards was approximately $ 1.2 million, which the Company expects to recognize over approximately three years . Tax consequences The Company recorded a deferred tax asset of approximately $ 0.1 million and $ 0.4 million, respectively, for the years ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of approximately $ 0.1 million and $ 0.4 million respectively, related to the deferred tax asset because it does not believe that the stock-based compensation deduction would be utilized as it does not anticipate generating sufficient taxable income in the United States. The Company deducts the difference between the market value on date of exercise by the option recipient and the exercise price from income subject to taxation in the United States.
