CXMT Founder Puts 8 Trillion Won in Equity into Employee Compensation Program...All-Out Effort to Attract Talent

CXMT founder Zhu Yiming said he will allocate about 40% of his post-listing shareholdings to employee incentives.

The awards will vest gradually over 10 years starting three years after the IPO, and he will also restrict his own share sales for 10 years.

CXMT, China’s largest DRAM maker and now the world’s No. 4, is using equity-based compensation to strengthen talent retention.

The move highlights intensifying competition for semiconductor talent in China and a longer-term founder-employee alignment model.
