Incentive programme
The Board of Directors of Carlsberg A/S has
decided to establish a share option programme
for the Executive Board and a number of managers
within the Carlsberg Group. The programme
will apply to the next two years and will then be
evaluated.
Carlsberg A/S’ obligations will be covered by its
portfolio and purchase of own shares.
The programme entitles the Executive Board and
a number of managers to purchase Carlsberg
A/S B-shares during a period from three to eight
years after the option right has been granted.
The exercise rate will be determined as the
average of the first five stock exchange business
days following the publication of the preliminary
profit statement of Carlsberg A/S, the first time
following the publication of the preliminary profit
statement for 1999/2000.
Initially, the programme will include about 40
people who will be granted a total of approx.
100,000 share options a year in 2001 and 2002.
The option programme will be supplemented
with annual bonus schemes.
The incentive programme as a whole will thus
ensure that a larger part of the total compensation
will depend on performance.
The purpose of the programme is to create an
even greater alignment of interests between the
company’s management and the shareholders,
as the programme will influence both short and
long-term goals.
