shares with your savings

Stock Purchase Plan (SPP) – Rules

If you decide not to buy shares, you get your money back (maybe with a little interest, but usually we put it in very safe accounts with no interest)

If you want to buy shares, you will get them at a discounted price – 85% of either the year starting or closing price (whichever is lower)

The amount of the discount is usually subject to income tax You will receive an online stock trading account with “E-Trade” and you

can sell the shares anytime you want

Stock Purchase Plan (SPP) – Process

1. HR sends a memo with the plan documents and the deadlines of the process to you in December

2. The enrollment will be done in the new HR system “Workday” between January 4th and January 15th.

3. Every month your elected amount/percentage will be deducted from your net pay

4. In December HR sends you a withdrawal form – if you do not withdraw, you have to buy the shares in January

5. In January HR sends you the “End of Plan Memo”, indicating the purchase prize, your total amount of shares and your taxable gain

6. HR informs payroll of the taxable gain to be included
