NORBIT's Employee Share Incentive Program
Trondheim: Recently, NORBIT ASA introduced a forward-thinking approach to employee engagement by launching a share incentive program. This initiative aims to strengthen the bond between the company and its personnel, encouraging them to take part in the growth journey of NORBIT.
Details of the Share Matching Program
Under this attractive share matching program, all eligible employees were offered a unique opportunity: the ability to acquire shares at market price. Employees who participated in this initiative could expect to receive compensation in the form of new shares corresponding to their investment after a period of 24 months, contingent on meeting certain criteria.
Awarding of Shares
As a result of this program, NORBIT's Board of Directors has decided to allocate a total of 35,075 shares to employees who participated in the share matching initiative during the year. It’s noteworthy that these shares will be distributed as existing shares currently possessed by NORBIT, meaning no new shares will be issued in this transaction. This decision underscores the company's commitment to integrating employee ownership into its corporate culture.
