The AGM resolved in line with the Board’s proposal to implement a long-term incentive plan for all approximately 13,000 full-time and part-time SAS employees (with the exception of Group Management) comprising of up to 4,782,282 SAS shares in total. In terms of hedging arrangements, the AGM did not approve the Board’s proposal which included issuing and repurchasing convertible C shares with subsequent transfer to plan participants.
