The offer price was NOK 185 after the 20% discount on the market price during the period from 15 to 22 May. The lock-in period for the shares is 3 years. The oversubscription resulted in a reduction in the number of shares for all, resulting in 282 management staff purchasing between 500 and 1,100 shares.

"We give our employees the opportunity to purchase shares in Veidekke twice a year," says President and CEO Terje R. Venold. "In the spring the offer applies to management staff, while in the autumn the offer goes out to all employees. Once again we are pleased with the considerable interest in purchasing shares in the company. This demonstrates faith in the future of the company, and it is important for the development of our business and for our corporate culture," concludes Venold.
