An update from DNB ASA ( (GB:0O84) ) is now available.

DNB Bank ASA has acquired 152,401 of its own shares on behalf of designated leading employees and risk takers, paying an average price of NOK 278.5283 per share. The transaction forms part of the bank’s variable remuneration structure, which requires that a substantial portion of bonus awards be paid in shares rather than cash.

The awarded shares are subject to lock-up mechanisms, and employees receive a specific compensation to offset the reduced share value caused by these restrictions, set at around 8.4% or 9.0% depending on the lock-up period. The move underscores DNB’s adherence to remuneration regulations for financial institutions and aligns management incentives more closely with the bank’s long-term share performance, while triggering disclosure obligations under Norwegian securities law.
