Share savings scheme 2024 for employees of the Gjensidige Group and subscription from primary insider employees
The Board of Gjensidige Forsikring ASA has decided to continue the share savings
scheme for employees. Through the scheme, the company offers employees of the
company, its branches in Denmark and Sweden and subsidiaries in Norway to buy
shares in the company. The purpose of the scheme is to increase our employees'
interest for the company's goals and performance through owning shares. The
scheme is also part of the company's strategy of motivating, rewarding, and
retaining employees. The Board wishes the scheme to become a permanent part of
the company's employee incentive scheme. The general meeting will nevertheless
consider the acquisition of shares every year and decide whether to continue the
scheme.
The offer
For 2024, the company will offer a share savings scheme based on a maximum
annual savings amount (NOK/SEK/DKK 90,000) that is financed by a monthly
deduction from salary. The company will contribute with 25 per cent of the
agreed yearly amount invested, limited upwards to NOK 7,500 per year. After two
years of ownership, and provided the person is still employed with Gjensidige,
the company will allocate one bonus share for every fourth share bought in
connection with this offer. The purchase of shares will take place through DNB
on the day or days following publication of the interim accounts. The first
purchase will take place after the publication of the 1st quarter 2023 interim
report. The purchase price and the number of shares acquired by the company will
be reported in accordance with the applicable regulations. Employees will be
allocated shares at the purchase price, adjusted for the discount.
Attached to this release is information about the subscriptions in the share
savings scheme for 2024 made by primary insiders. The subscribed amount
disclosed is the total amount for 2024. The purchase price and the number of
shares will be reported each time allocation has been made.
