Global Share Participation Plan and Incentive Share Plan

Global Share Participation Plan

Swiss Re offers its employees an opportunity to directly participate in the long-term success of the company by purchasing Swiss Re Ltd shares (up to a maximum of CHF 7 000 per year and capped at 10% of base salary), through the Global Share Participation Plan (GSPP). The company provides a 30% match on the number of shares held by employees at the end of the three-year plan cycle. The match is subject to forfeiture rules in case of termination of employment before the end of the plan cycle. The GSPP has the same core design in all locations.

Incentive Share Plan

The Incentive Share Plan (ISP) provides employees with an opportunity to receive some or all of their immediate cash API in the form of Swiss Re Ltd shares. Shares are offered with a 10% discount on the Fair Market Value (FMV) and are subject to a one-year blocking period. Full shareholder rights apply during this blocking period. The ISP encourages alignment with shareholder interests. At the end of the one-year period, the employee assumes full ownership of the shares.
