In autumn 2018, the Board of Directors of Fondia Plc (the "Company") decided to introduce an employee share savings plan (the “ESSP”) for the Group's employees. The ESSP has so far consisted of six twelve-month savings periods since 2019.
The Company's Board of Directors has now decided to extend the ESSP for the 2025–2026 savings period.
The ESSP is open to all Fondia Group’s employees, excluding trainees. The 2025–2026 savings period will start on March 1, 2025 and end on February 28, 2026. The minimum monthly savings amount for a person participating in the 2025–2026 savings period is EUR 50, and the maximum monthly savings amount is EUR 500.
Participation in the ESSP is for one savings period at a time. The accumulated savings will be used to acquire Fondia Plc shares at market price twice a year after the publication of the Company's half-yearly financial report and financial statements release. According to the terms of the ESSP, the Company’s Board of Directors decides on the method of acquisition of the savings shares.
Each participant will receive one additional share from the Company free of charge (before taxes) for every two savings shares acquired. The additional shares for the 2025–2026 savings period will be granted to the participant if he or she owns the savings shares acquired during the savings period and his or her employment contract is valid until the end of the holding period on February 29, 2028. The additional shares are paid partly in Company shares and partly in cash. The monetary contribution aims to cover the taxes and tax-related charges incurred by the participant.
