These include 23% (2019: 8%) from the CBN (as a transaction party in the OTC FX Futures market), 41% (2019: 53%) from clients (local and foreign), 17% (2019: 14%) from Dealing Member (Banks) and 18% (2019: 25%) from other sources including securities admissions, interest income, settlement and depository services, private market notings, amongst others.
FMDQ also said its CEO, Bola Onadele.Koko was issued stock options as part of his compensation, vesting at the end of his contract, based on pre-specified key performance indicators.
“As the stock options are not due to be exercised till 2024, no cash settlement has been made to the CEO, and none will be until the terms of the agreement are fully met at the end of his contract,” the response noted.
“The stock options as at Dec 31, 2020, as professionally valued by our External Auditor, KPMG, is N2.51bn as accounted for in our financial statements. There is no record of the N4.66bn in our financial statements.”
