Alset Inc. Awards CEO 1 Million Shares

The CEO's equity award underscores leadership contributions but will not recur annually.

Equity award ties performance to long-term alignment

Alset Inc. is taking a clear step to recognize leadership performance. On April 15, the company’s board approved a one-time equity award for Chairman and CEO Chan Heng Fai—1 million restricted shares, granted as part of the 2025 Incentive Compensation Plan.

The shares fall under a one-year holding period. That means they can’t be sold, pledged, or transferred until April 15, 2026. It’s a structure designed to create alignment—tying executive reward to the company’s performance over time.

This isn’t part of Mr. Chan’s annual pay package. It’s a separate, non-recurring award tied to services he’s already delivered. Alset was direct about that point in its filing. The company doesn’t plan to make similar grants on a regular basis.

Disclosures reinforce governance and transparency

Details of the award were filed in an SEC Form 8-K, which included both the award agreement and a reference to the full 2025 compensation plan. That broader plan was filed earlier this year and sets the framework for how Alset structures its equity incentives.

This move signals Alset’s intent to reinforce leadership stability while managing executive compensation with discipline. As an emerging growth company , Alset continues to balance agility with formal oversight—especially in how it communicates and structures governance decisions.

Investors and analysts now have a clearer view into how the company is rewarding leadership during a pivotal phase. The award is locked in for the next twelve months. As Alset moves forward, stakeholders will be watching for how this alignment plays out across performance and growth.
