Corporate Governance

Long Term Incentive Programs

The purpose of long-term incentive plans is to generate the conditions for retaining and recruiting competent personnel to the Group and to offer employees an attractive opportunity to acquire a stake in the company, so as to encourage continued company loyalty by combining the interests of the shareholders and the employees.The programmes are thought to have a positive effect on the Group’s ongoing development and hence to be beneficial for shareholders and the company alike. The Board has conducted an evaluation of the existing plan. The goal of the evaluation was to determine whether the plan has fulfilled its stated objectives, has transparent goals and also include reviews of the results and costs of the outstanding plan.
