Performance Share Plan (PSP) 2024–2026
The Performance Share Plan for 2024–2026 commences at the beginning of 2024 and includes a three-year performance period followed by a possible reward payment. The potential reward under the plan will be paid during spring 2027, once the performance period has ended and financial statements have been finalized.
