Saab Executives Sell Shares to Cover Tax from Incentive Programme

Saab AB ( ($SE:SAAB.B) ) has shared an announcement.

Saab’s President and CEO Micael Johansson and Deputy CEO Anders Carp have sold portions of their Saab shareholdings to cover tax obligations arising from allocations under the company’s long-term incentive programme. After the transactions on 18 February 2026, Johansson retains 343,299 Saab shares while Carp holds 95,798 shares, indicating both executives maintain substantial ownership stakes despite the tax-driven sales.

The disposals are framed as administrative, tax-related moves rather than strategic divestments, which may help reassure investors about management’s continued alignment with shareholder interests. The continued large personal holdings by Saab’s top executives support perceptions of commitment to the company’s long‑term performance and stability within the defence and security sector.
