Background information about Solar’s incentive scheme In 2006, the Board of Directors set up an incentive scheme for the Executive Board, adding the Solar Group management team to the scheme in 2008. The scheme is based on options that entitle the holder to buy shares from the company's holding of treasury shares. The reason for introducing the scheme was to seek to bind employees closer to the group and create a share price-dependent incentive for participants, thus enhancing agreement between the interests of shareholders and participants.
Today, share options outstanding total 107,464.
Yours faithfully Solar A/S
Jens Borum Chairman of the Board of Directors
