The Executive LTI Plan is an annual 3-year rolling plan, part delivered in restricted shares and part delivered in performance shares, with fulfilment in Schibsted B-shares. The program is applicable to the CEO, the members of Schibsted’s Executive Team as well as to a few selected key roles, and will be transferred at the end of the 3-year program period.
