Schibsted wants to make the Group as attractive a workplace as possible and has implemented various incentive schemes for both Group management and employees, including an offer to all employees of subsidiaries to buy Schibsted shares at a discount.
The employees’ share ownership is an important contributor to the company’s development. The employees of Schibsted’s subsidiaries were offered the chance to buy Schibsted shares for the first time in 1997. In 2008, they were given the opportunity to buy shares worth NOK 7 500 at a 20% discount in accordance with the Norwegian Tax Act’s rules. A fifth of those who were offered shares accepted the offer in 2007.
