As a Brambles employee, everything you do helps us grow. So it’s only fair you should have the opportunity to share in our success as a company. The MyShare employee share plan is one of the ways
that Brambles rewards you.
There are risks in investing in shares so please read this important disclaimer.
Brambles rewards you by matching the number of Brambles shares that you have purchased through the MyShare plan. The shares that you purchase through MyShare are called Acquired Shares. The shares that Brambles rewards you with are called Matching Shares.
To participate in MyShare, decide on the total amount that you would like to contribute to MyShare over the next 12 months. You can contribute between AUD 100 and AUD 6000 (or the equivalent in your local currency).
The 12 month period following the commencement of a MyShare plan is called the Contribution Period. At each pay cycle during this period, a pro rata of your chosen contribution amount will be automatically deducted from your post-tax salary. MyShare uses the money to buy Brambles shares on your behalf in the following month.
The 12 months after the final share purchase of a MyShare plan is called the Holding Period.
If you hold onto your Acquired Shares and remain employed within the Brambles Group over the full two-years spanned by their Contribution and Holding Periods, you will receive a once-off reward of an equivalent number of Matching Shares - effectively doubling your Brambles shares at no extra cost!
If you are a current MyShare participant, you will be automatically enrolled into the 2025 MyShare plan at your current contribution amount. You can also modify your contribution amount or opt out during the enrolment period.
On 6 January 2021, Mr MyShare signed up to the MyShare program. He decided to contribute AUD 60 each month for 12 months, starting in February 2021. In March, the MyShare program used Mr MyShare’s February AUD 60 contribution to purchase 5 Brambles shares at the market price*.
Shares were bought for Mr MyShare in this manner during the following 11 months.
*Depending on the amount you wish to contribute, the amount of shares you acquire will vary.
Over the 12-month period from February 2021 to January 2022, Mr MyShare contributed a total of AUD 720 to his 2021 MyShare plan, which was used to purchase 67 Brambles shares.
For the 12 months following the final share purchase, Mr MyShare:
As a result, Brambles rewarded Mr MyShare with 67 Matching Shares.
He then owned a total of 134 Brambles shares.
The MyShare plans run every year. Let’s review the results of Mr MyShare’s 2021 MyShare plan and see what happens if Mr MyShare decides to continue his participation in the 2022 and 2023 MyShare plans…
Mr MyShare Speaks
“During the 2021 MyShare Contribution Period, I acquired a total of 67 Brambles Shares. At the end of the 2021 MyShare Holding Period, Brambles rewarded me with 67 Matching Shares!”
Mr MyShare Speaks
“At the end of each Contribution Period, MyShare automatically enrols me into the next MyShare plan. I can always change my contribution amount or opt out before the next plan commences. During the 2022 MyShare Contribution Period, I acquired a total of 62 Brambles shares, using the same MyShare contribution amount as in 2021. There were fewer shares just because the Brambles share price had gone up!”
*Acquired Shares figures for the 2023 MyShare plan are estimates provided for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied on. Actual Acquired Share totals for 2023 MyShare plans cannot be determined until after the end of the 2023 MyShare Contribution Period (February 2024).
Mr MyShare Speaks
“I am really looking forward to receiving another 62 Matching Shares at the end of the 2022 Holding Period and 60 Matching Shares at the end of the 2023 Holding Period. Join me in MyShare and you too will be rewarded!”
At the end of the day, the MyShare program is an employee benefit. Through participation in MyShare, you can purchase shares in Brambles and have those shares matched by Brambles on a 1:1 basis if certain conditions are met. To learn more, visit the MyShare Knowledge Centre..
