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.

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.
