Share Matching Plan
Since 2007, Saab has offered permanent employees the opportunity to participate in the Share Matching Plan. Employees can withhold up to 5 per cent of their gross base salary to purchase Series B shares on the Nasdaq Stockholm exchange over a twelve-month period. Provided that the participant retains the purchased shares for three years after the investment date and is still employed by the Saab Group, the participant will be allotted a corresponding number of Series B shares free of charge.
The background to this is that the Board finds it important and in every shareholders’ interest that employees of the Saab Group have a long-term interest in a positive development of the company’s share.
