The company will pay Richer an initial £9.2m for the stake but the businessman is giving £3.5m of that back to staff, who will receive £1,000 for every year they have worked for the retailer.
The average payout will be £8,000 but there are 39 employees with more than 20 years’ service who stand to receive substantial windfalls.
Average is 8 years? That's pretty amazing for a retail company.
