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.
