The top executives of London-listed Plus500 (LON: PLUS) have received more than £20.5 million in Restricted Share Units (RSUs), LTIP awards and ordinary shares under the company’s 2026 deferred bonus scheme.
David Zruia, the broker’s Chief Executive, and Elad Even-Chen, its Chief Financial Officer, received 231,328 shares each. Based on Wednesday’s market closing price, each holding was worth almost £8.5 million, paid in Israeli shekels.
FinanceMagnates.com earlier reported that Zruia and Even-Chen each earned a total of $4.97 million in the last financial year. This included $1.09 million in fixed salary and $3.9 million in variable pay.
Top Executives Received Bonuses
Other recipients of the latest bonus include Plus500’s Chief Marketing Officer, Nir Zatz; Chief Technology Officer, Al Yaros; Chief Regulation Officer, Yevgeni Shtuckmeyster; CEO of Plus500’s Israel unit, Erez Levy; Chief People Officer, Eden Dahan; and VP of R&D, Or Rotem.
Unlike Zruia and Even-Chen, the share awards received by other executives were much smaller.
Zatz received 32,906 shares worth about £120,000. The shares received by Yaros and Shtuckmeyster were worth about £830,000 and £450,000, respectively. Levy received shares worth £270,000, while Dahan and Rotem received Plus500 shares valued at about £325,000 and £556,000, respectively.
The bonus came as Plus500 shares gained more than 41 per cent in 2025, reaching a new peak. The broker’s shares also rose in December, hitting a new all-time high.
The company’s executives have also shown confidence in its stock market performance. Alon Cohen Naznin, the broker’s COO, purchased 32,000 shares last month.
Plus500 Appears to Be a Good Investment
The London-listed company is also attracting institutional investors. FinanceMagnates.com earlier reported that Artemis Investment Management acquired more than 5 per cent of Plus500 shares, while US asset manager Capital Group bought a 5.44 per cent stake.
According to regulatory filings, BlackRock is the largest shareholder in Plus500, holding about a 6 per cent stake, while JPMorgan owns 5.1 per cent.
The company is expanding outside the over-the-counter business and is targeting the US futures market. It generated $182.7 million in revenue in the third quarter of 2025, with EBITDA of $82.7 million. Around 15 per cent of total group revenue came from its non-OTC business, along with 18 per cent of new customers.
Last year, the London-listed broker also acquired an Indonesian broker and opened its first representative office in Colombia. It is also seeking a local licence in Chile and acquired an Indian derivatives broker for $20 million.
