You've finished saving
Well done for hitting this key milestone, and thanks for being on the journey with us.
But it's not the end! Now it's time to decide what to do once you reach your maturity date (1 February 2026, unless you took a savings break). Buy Flutter shares at a discounted share price or take your money back.
You'll need to make your decision between 2 February and 31 July 2026. If you took a savings break, your maturity date will be extended by one month for each month you paused saving.
As a reminder, your discounted share price is £90.52 per share (20% off the market price when you joined in 2022). Since then, the market price for our shares has increased. If it remains higher than your discounted price, you have the opportunity to make a profit from Sharesave!
You can see our current share price here, and explore different scenarios using the calculator below.
Your options
Buy shares at the discounted price and keep some of them
(Sell to cover)
Become a Flutter shareholder – when Flutter grows, the value of your shares could grow further too. You decide if and when to sell your shares in the future. You will sell enough shares to cover the cost of buying the shares, any taxes to be withheld by Flutter and fees.
Buy shares at the discounted price and sell them straight away
(Exercise and sell)
If our share price is higher than £90.52, you could make a gain and profit from our success immediately – subject to fees and tax. Funds will reach you in 2-5 working days.
Take back your savings as cash in full
(Withdraw)
Personal circumstances or market conditions may mean that buying shares isn't right for you this time. Make your money work for you in other ways!
A quick reminder
If you don't take any action by the end of your six-month decision window, you will lose the opportunity to buy Flutter shares at your discounted price. You'll still get all your savings back, but you will no longer be able to buy shares.
What your savings could be worth
Discover what your discounted shares could be worth today and see how their value might change as the market moves. Exploring different scenarios in this way can help you decide what's right for you.
Coming in the next couple of weeks our calculator will show what your shares could be worth if you choose to "Exercise and sell" immediately.
To see what the value could be if you choose "Sell to cover", you can login to EquatePlus and view the transaction via your task, before you click the "Place order" button on the Summary screen.
Understanding tax
In some countries, you may need to pay tax when buying shares as part of Sharesave. You may also need to pay tax if you make a profit when you sell your shares.
To understand how tax may apply to Sharesave in your location:
- See your country-specific tax guide, provided by Morgan Stanley at Work
Please note that tax rules differ by country and depend on individual circumstances. This website provides general information only and does not provide tax advice. Tax laws and regulations may change over time.
Q&A – Your questions answered
When your 2022 Sharesave comes to an end, you have three choices (these choices may differ from previous years):
- Buy Flutter shares at £90.52 per share and sell all of them straight away (Exercise and sell)*
- Buy Flutter shares at £90.52 per share and keep some of the shares in your EquatePlus account (Sell to cover)*
- Take all your savings back as cash (withdraw).
* In each case, enough shares will be sold to cover the cost of buying the shares. Your actual savings will be returned to you separately. Shares will also be sold to cover fees for selling shares. The Flutter shares you buy are traded in GBP and any sale will be traded at the time that you place your instruction.
It will not be possible to buy and hold all the shares.
You'll be able to explore all three options on EquatePlus once Sharesave ends.
When you joined the 2022 Sharesave, the Flutter share price was £113. We then applied a 20% discount, reducing the price to £90.52. This is the amount that was fixed at the start of Sharesave 2022, and the amount you can buy Flutter shares for now – whatever their price on the market.
Once your 2022 Sharesave comes to an end, you have six months to decide what to do with your savings. Your decision window opens on 2 February 2026 and closes on 31 July 2026.
If you took a savings break, you will be saving for an additional month for every month you took a break – and so your decision window starts and ends a month later too.
For example: you took a 3-month savings break. You will keep saving until your March 2026 pay. Your Sharesave decision window will open on 1 May 2026, and close on 31 October 2026.
If you decide to buy and immediately sell your shares, the cash amount you receive will depend on the Flutter share price at the time you request to buy the shares. Since the share price can go up or down during these six months, you'll need to decide when the best time is for you to take action. The more the share price has increased from the discounted price set at the start of Sharesave, the bigger your cash gain will be.
When your decision window closes, you'll lose your right to buy Flutter shares at your discounted price of £90.52. Your only option will be to request a refund of savings on EquatePlus.
You must make your decision on EquatePlus at equateplus.com. Log in, choose what you wish to do, and follow the on-screen instructions.

You can use Nudge, our financial education platform, to learn more about financial health and resilience, so you can make a holistic decision.
If you're still unsure, we recommend that you seek independent financial advice. If you don't have a financial adviser, you can find one at www.unbiased.co.uk.
During Sharesave, you can pause your monthly contributions for up to 12 months. If you do, your plan will be extended by one month for each contribution you paused. You'll still save the full amount, and you'll have six months from your new end date (maturity date) to make your decision.
If your plan is due to end after February 2026, we'll get in touch nearer the time to confirm your updated end date. You can also log in to EquatePlus at any time to check your expected end date.
If you paused more than 12 contributions, your Sharesave was closed, meaning you don't have the option to buy shares. If you've not received your savings back, you can request these by logging into EquatePlus.
If you left Flutter during Sharesave – before you finished saving – your choices now would depend on why you left.
| Qualifying reason | Non-qualifying reason | |
|---|---|---|
| Why you left | Retirement Ill health Redundancy |
Resignation Dismissal |
| What to expect | You were allowed to continue saving for up to 6 months after you left, or until the time you would normally finish saving – whichever comes first. You then had the opportunity to take your savings back in full, or use your savings to buy Flutter shares at the discounted price. If you chose to buy your Flutter shares you needed to do this within six months of leaving Flutter. |
You would have been able to receive your savings back in full when you left. If you've not received your savings back you can request these by logging into EquatePlus. You won't have the opportunity to buy Flutter shares at the discounted price. |
If you leave Flutter during your decision window, in most circumstances you'll still be able to use your savings to buy Flutter shares at the discounted price or withdraw your savings. Your six-month decision window stays the same (six months from the Maturity Date), whatever your reason for leaving. If you're dismissed, you normally won't be able to buy Flutter shares, but you will get your savings back in full.
Everything you need to view and manage your 2022 Sharesave is available in your EquatePlus account. There you can see:
- Your original contribution amount.
- How many shares you can buy at the £90.52 fixed price.
Your savings are held in a local bank operated by Flutter. If you want to see what any value of the shares looks like for you, use our calculator above.

No – you can't split your savings between buying shares and taking cash. With Sharesave, you can either use all your savings to buy shares or withdraw your savings in full.
Withdrawing your savings counts as choosing not to buy shares.
However, if you take back your savings after maturity and then decide you do want to buy shares, you may be able to do so if it's still within the six-month decision window. You'll need to contact Computershare to arrange this.
Once the six-month window has passed, you won't be able to buy shares.
Yes. Once the shares are in your EquatePlus account, you can sell some or all of your shares whenever you choose – subject to charges. You can see our current share price here, or when you sign into your EquatePlus account. Further taxes may be due.
There are exceptions for restricted employees, who will need to request clearance before trading – see Section 5: Trading restrictions for more information.
You can buy your shares through your EquatePlus account. As part of the transaction, enough shares will be sold to cover the following:
- the cost of buying the shares (option costs)
- any taxes to be withheld by your employing company
- any fees such as broker commission and bank transfer fees
The savings you have made are not used to buy your shares and they will be returned to you through your payroll. Please allow 4-6 weeks from when you buy your Flutter shares for this to happen. If your savings are held in your own personal bank account, you can take your savings from the account at any time after you've bought the shares.
When Sharesave ends, log into your account and follow the on-screen steps to buy your shares at £90.52 per share. You'll be shown how many shares your savings will allow you to buy, and you can choose whether to keep some of them or sell them straight away.
If you choose to buy shares, you can keep them for as long as you like and decide when to sell some or all of them. Be aware that Flutter's share price can move up and down, so the value of your shares may change over time. However, unless you choose to sell your shares at a loss, any fall in value is only a loss on paper.
If you prefer not to hold onto your shares, you can also choose to buy and sell them straight away.
You can choose to buy Flutter shares at £90.52 and sell all of them straight away. Login and follow the on-screen steps to place an "Exercise and sell" instruction via your Tasks. The funds from the sale will normally reach your bank account within 2 - 5 working days.
If you choose to buy Flutter shares at £90.52 and keep some of them ("Sell to cover" instruction via your Tasks), your shares will be available in your Share Plan Account (SPA) tile on EquatePlus within 2 working days of your transaction. You can then sell them at any time. Login and follow the on-screen steps to place a sale instruction via your SPA tile.
Your shares will be traded in a different currency (see 2.7 for further detail). However, your proceeds will be paid to you in the currency as per the bank account registered on EquatePlus, under Financial Details. The funds from the sale will normally reach your bank account within 2 – 5 working days.
Be aware that Computershare will charge you a fee of 0.35% of the sale value of your shares each time you sell some shares, with a minimum fee of £25. You can find out about all fees by going to your Equateplus account and navigating to Library > Documents > Agreements.
No. Once you've instructed Computershare to buy or sell shares, the transaction can't be reversed.
In the Isle of Man, there's no Income Tax or National Insurance Contributions to pay when you buy your shares in most cases.
The general rule for people living in the Isle of Man is that:
- No capital gains tax applies when you sell Sharesave shares
- No income tax on the gain from the scheme either, because there's no separate Isle of Man taxation on these employee share gains.
The above rules will apply if you are genuinely tax-resident in the Isle of Man. If you are considered a UK tax-resident (e.g., through the UK Statutory Residency Test), then UK tax rules could still apply.
Even though the Isle of Man doesn't charge CGT, you may need to report the sale to UK authorities if you have UK tax ties and you should take your own independent financial advice from a Qualified Advisor on this matter. You can also find more information by visiting the Understanding tax section on this page, which includes a link to country-specific tax guides provided by Morgan Stanley at Work.
No – your savings are your own money, and there is no tax applicable.
If you choose to buy shares with your Sharesave savings, you may be able to transfer them from your EquatePlus account to another account or provider, depending on the choices available in the Isle of Man.
You'll be able to see your shares once they arrive in your EquatePlus account by clicking on the Share Plan Account tile. From there, you'll also be able to see the transfer options available. The types of transfers that are possible, and any tax that may apply, vary by country and depend on local rules.
Before you can transfer your shares from EquatePlus, you'll need to add your broker details. You can do this from your EquatePlus account, by clicking on the Profile picture at the top right of the screen and selecting 'Financial details' from the drop-down menu.
- Add a new brokerage account. Scroll down the screen to find the 'Add new brokerage account' link.
- Edit your brokerage account. Click on 'Edit account' under the relevant account name, and follow the onscreen instructions.
There will be a broker transfer fee of £30/€35/$35 per transfer, depending on your country. You'll need to pay this with a credit card when you request the transfer. You can find out about all fees by going to your Equateplus account and navigating to Library > Documents > Agreements.
If you wish to explore this option, you should first check the local rules that apply where you live along with the tax guide provided by Morgan Stanley. Once your shares appear in your EquatePlus account, you can contact Computershare, who can explain the process and confirm what information is needed to arrange a transfer, if this is possible.
You may also wish to seek independent financial advice from a qualified adviser in the Isle of Man if you'd like personal guidance about transferring shares to other individuals. You can find an independent adviser at www.unbiased.co.uk.
Most colleagues can buy and sell Flutter shares when they wish. Some colleagues will need special permission if they are classified as a Restricted Person, which means you must request clearance before you trade. You can do this via the "Dealing Request function" on Insidertrack before placing your instruction on EquatePlus. You can only trade during a trading window.
You will have received an email from InsiderTrack (flutter@insidertrack.net) to notify you if you are a Restricted Person. You will also receive a communication from InsiderTrack notifying you when Flutter trading windows open or close.
To access InsiderTrack, if you have Single Sign On (SSO) then click on the InsiderTrack tile in your apps. If you do not have SSO user access, then follow the link: https://www.flutterinsiders.com/portallogon – all Restricted Persons will have previously been sent a username (which is your email address) and password and must complete the required account information. Once logged in, click on “Request to deal”, fill out the form and submit.
A response will typically be given within 2 business days from submission, therefore ensure sufficient time is allowed for this. If clearance to deal is given, a notification with a clearance to deal window will be provided to you by a member of the Company Secretariat team. An instruction via EquatePlus can only be made within that clearance to deal window. If the clearance to deal window ends and an instruction has not been given, then clearance will need to be reapplied for. If you subsequently become aware that you may be in possession of inside information and/or material non-public information you must not deal (regardless of having obtained clearance) and must inform the Company Secretariat team immediately.
If you have any questions about being a Restricted Person or around permission to deal, or if you need your password re-set, please contact cosec@flutter.com.
