Sharepurchase in action
Let's look at a quick example to bring Sharepurchase to life:
Alex likes how easy and flexible Sharepurchase is, so he decides to join and contribute $23.08 per pay period.
After 12 months, he's contributed $600 in total.
Here's how Alex's 15% discount works:
When Alex started saving, Flutter's share price was $175.
- When the 12-month period ended, it was $189.
- The lower of the two prices – $175 – is used to calculate Alex's discount.
- With his 15% discount, Alex buys his shares at $148.75 each.
- Alex is able to buy 4 shares at a cost of $595 ($148.75 x 4), with $5 left over.
Those 4 shares are now worth $756 (4 x $189), meaning Alex has gained $161 in value ($756 - $595).
Alex decides to keep his shares and enjoy being a Flutter shareholder. He knows he can stop his contributions at any time. Plus, the $5 that wasn't used to buy shares this time around will also be carried into his next savings cycle!
The prices used in the above example are for illustrative purposes only. Remember, past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance. The value of shares can go down as well as up, and tax may apply if you decide to sell your shares.
Estimate your Sharepurchase value
Use this calculator to see what your Sharepurchase contributions could look like, and how your shares could grow over time. Try out different contribution amounts to find the option that suits you best.
This calculator is for illustrative purposes only, as there are future variables that cannot be predicted.
Please refer to the information buttons throughout each section for further information.
Step 2: See how many shares you could be able to buy after 1 year
This is your 'Monthly contribution amount' multiplied by 12 months (26 payroll cycles).
This is the current Flutter share price on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: FLUT), last updated: 2025-11-28
We can't predict future share prices, so this calculator uses the current share price as a starting point.
You can adjust it higher or lower to see how any future changes in the share price may impact how many shares you can buy.
Assumed share price at start
We can't predict future share prices, so this calculator uses the current share price on the NYSE to represent the share price at the start of the offering period.
Assumed share price at end
You can use the slider above to model what you think the share price will be at the end of the offering period.
Share price at start
The value shown represents the actual Share Price at the beginning of the offering period.
Assumed share price at end
You can use the slider above to model what you think the share price will be at the end of the offering period.
This is determined by the lesser of either the share price at the start of the offering period or at the end.
This is the proportion that will be deducted from the 'Selected share price' to determine the 'Discounted share price'.
This is the 'Selected share price' minus the 'Discount'.
This is your 'Total contributions' after 12 months (26 payroll cycles).
You can only buy whole shares, not fractions of them, so the amount used to buy shares is often lower than the 'Total amount available to buy shares'.
As it is only possible to buy whole shares, any left over amount that could not be used to buy a share will automatically roll over to the next 12-month period.
This is the difference between the 'Total amount available to buy shares' and the 'Cost at discounted share price'.
This is the 'Total amount available to buy shares' divided by the 'Discounted share price' – rounded down to the nearest whole share.
We can't predict future share prices, so this calculator uses the current share price as a starting point.
You can adjust it higher or lower to see how any future changes in the share price may impact the potential value of your shares.
This is your 'Total shares' multiplied by the 'Assumed share price'.
This is the 'Estimated future value' minus the 'Cost at discounted share price'.
If you decide to sell the shares any gain will be subject to tax. Remember, holding your shares for longer than one year after you buy them and two years after the beginning of the offering period may reduce that amount of tax you have to pay once you decide to sell them.
Q&A – Your questions answered
Sharepurchase is our new Employee Share Purchase Plan (ESPP) and a great way for you to share in our global success.
It gives you the opportunity to buy shares in Flutter at a discount of 15%. You contribute to the plan through regular payroll deductions over a 12-month offering period, and at the end of that period, your contributions are used to purchase shares.
Holding the shares and becoming a Flutter shareholder gives you a stake in the company you help to build every day. As a shareholder, you'll benefit when we grow and have a voice on key company decisions. Depending on what you decide to do with the shares, you may also have the opportunity to enjoy some tax advantages.
In the US, Sharepurchase replaces our existing Sharesave plan. This change ensures our plans remain relevant as we scale globally, helping all colleagues across multiple countries to build their share in our success. For more on this see section 1, question 1.7: What's happening to Sharesave?
An all-employee share plan gives everyone in a company the chance to become a shareholder. It's designed to be inclusive and give us all a share in what we achieve together. For 2025, we've introduced two new plans to our all-employee share plan portfolio, Sharepurchase in the US and Sharebuild for our colleagues in some other countries. Together with Sharesave, this portfolio offers a plan that works best locally for our colleagues in each of our Flutter countries.
At Flutter, our brands are changing the game in markets around the world. Sharepurchase is about recognising the role every one of us plays in this success. By owning part of Flutter, you'll see your impact in a tangible way and benefit as our business grows. We want Sharepurchase to help strengthen our culture, reward our collective success, and make sure we all feel part of our global story.
Sharepurchase is designed to be easy, rewarding and empowering – a way for all of us to share in the value we create together. If you choose to join, you'll be able to:
- Invest easily: contribute automatically from your salary each pay period during the 12-month offering period to buy shares.
- Receive a discount on your shares: at the end of the 12-month offering period, your contributions are used to buy Flutter shares at a 15% discount based on whichever is lower – our share price at the start of the offering period or at the end of the 12-month offering period.
- Own a stake in Flutter: any shares you buy are yours straight away, to keep or sell as you wish. If you hold onto them for a long enough period, you could also benefit from potentially favourable tax treatment if you do decide to sell them.
- Share in our growth: the value of your shares will move with the Flutter share price. If Flutter's share price increases, so will the value of your Sharepurchase shares. And, because you buy your shares at a 15% discount, your investment could go even further.
- Have your say: as a shareholder, you can vote on key company decisions.
Like any share plan, Sharepurchase carries some risk. Flutter's share price can rise or fall, which means the value of your shares will change over time.
However, buying your shares at a 15% discount helps to offset that risk. The discount helps to reduce the impact if our share price falls and increases your potential to gain if it rises. The price you pay is based on the lower share price at the start or the end of the 12-month offering period – this is known as a 'lookback' feature and acts as a buffer, making the plan valuable even in a volatile market.
As long as you hold onto your shares for more than one year after you have bought them, and more than two years has elapsed since the start of the offering period, you may also qualify for favourable long-term capital gains tax treatment. This means a larger part of any gain could be taxed at a lower rate compared to regular income, helping you keep more of what you earn when your shares perform well.
As with any investment, you should carefully consider this and your personal financial situation, needs and goals before joining. Take the time to read this Q&A carefully, as well as other materials available on this microsite, including the plan rules. You can also find information for investors about Flutter's performance, share price and financial reports at https://www.flutter.com/investors. You are encouraged to consult with a qualified financial adviser before making a decision about whether to participate.
We've partnered with Computershare, a leading global share plan provider, to manage Sharepurchase on our behalf.
Computershare runs the online platform EquatePlus, where you'll be able to view, manage, and sell your shares once you've joined the plan. For more information on how to register and get started, see section 6: Joining Sharepurchase.
Together with Sharesave and our new global employee share plan Sharebuild, Sharepurchase forms part of Flutter's updated all-employee share plan portfolio. In the US, Sharepurchase is replacing Sharesave. In some other countries, Sharebuild will replace Sharesave this year, and may also be introduced in other countries in the future too.
Sharesave will continue in the UK, Ireland and the Isle of Man and a number of other countries, where it remains the most effective plan under local rules and tax arrangements.
Each country will have the plan that works best locally, whether that's Sharepurchase, Sharesave, or Sharebuild, so that all colleagues have a fair and rewarding opportunity to share in Flutter's global success.
If you're already part of Sharesave, don't worry, your existing plan will continue for its full 12-month term, and your current plan rules still apply. You can also join Sharepurchase this year if you wish.
Like many global companies, Flutter is made up of shares. Each share represents a part of the business, so when you buy a Flutter share, you own a piece of the company and become a shareholder.
Being a shareholder means you have a direct stake in our success and a share in the value we create together. The value of your shares can go up or down depending on several factors.
All Flutter shares are equal. They carry the same rights, value, and benefits.
The price of a Flutter share is set by the stock market and changes over time. It's influenced by how our business performs, as well as wider market and economic conditions. It's normal for share prices to go up and down.
As a shareholder, you'll be entitled to any dividends paid by Flutter, which is a share of profits.
Please note: Flutter isn't currently paying dividends.
Yes, anyone who owns a Flutter share can vote at our shareholder meetings on important company matters, such as how we're governed and key decisions about our future. This includes colleagues who join Sharepurchase and own at least one share. Each share equals one vote, so the more shares you hold, the more voting power you have. We'll always let you know when a shareholder vote or meeting is coming up, so you have the chance to take part.
Sharepurchase is available to all eligible employees based in the United States. Contractors are not eligible to participate in Sharepurchase and you must be employed by a Flutter company on a permanent or fixed-term contract to take part.
We want everyone at Flutter to have the chance to share in our success. But because tax, legal and regulatory rules differ around the world, we offer different plans in different countries.
In some countries, like the United Kingdom, Ireland and the Isle of Man, it's more beneficial to continue offering Sharesave, which gives colleagues local tax advantages.
Our aim is that every colleague, wherever they are, can take part in a Flutter all-employee share plan that works best for their country. Sharepurchase in the US is an important step towards that goal.
No, there is no minimum service requirement to join Sharepurchase.
You can join Sharepurchase if you are employed by a Flutter group company on or before the invitation date.
Yes, you can join Sharepurchase if you are currently saving into Sharesave. If you are participating in Sharesave 2024, your last contribution will be taken from your December 2025 pay.
Yes, colleagues who are Restricted Persons can still join Sharepurchase and buy shares in the same way as everyone else. However, please note that you are only able to make an election to join, leave or amend your contribution for Sharepurchase during a trading window. You must request permission to join, leave or amend your contribution via the "Dealing Request function" on Insidertrack before placing your instruction on EquatePlus to join Sharepurchase. 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 of the opening and closing of the Flutter trading windows.
Your shares can be acquired outside of a trading window, at the end of the 12-month offering period, however, you'll need to follow the company's normal share dealing rules when you sell or transfer your shares. That means there may be times, outside trading windows, when you're not allowed to trade until restrictions are lifted.
If you have any questions about being a Restricted Person or around permission to deal, please contact cosec@flutter.com.
Sharepurchase makes it easy and rewarding for you to own a part of Flutter and share in our global success.
If you decide to join, you'll choose how much to contribute each pay period – any amount between $11.50 and $311.50 per pay period. Your contributions will be deducted automatically from your net (after tax) salary.
At the end of the 12-month offering period, your contributions will be used to buy whole shares for you at a 15% discount based on whichever is lower – our share price at the start of the offering period or at the end of the 12-month offering period.
Any remaining balance not used to buy shares will automatically roll over to the next 12-month period and you will be given an opportunity to amend the amount you are contributing.
Your participation in Sharepurchase will continue automatically each year, with no action required by you unless you decide to opt out.
Once purchased for you, your Sharepurchase shares are immediately yours, with no holding period before you can decide whether to keep or sell them (subject to normal share-dealing rules). If you sell your shares, any gain you make will be the difference between the discounted price you paid and the price you sell at. Selling your shares immediately usually means ordinary income tax rates apply on any gains. However, if you hold onto your shares for more than one year after purchase and two years have elapsed since the start of the offering period, you may qualify for a lower, long-term capital gains tax rate on any gain instead. For more information see section 9: Taxes.
You'll be able to view and manage your shares easily through the EquatePlus platform run by Computershare. For more information on EquatePlus, see section 6: Joining Sharepurchase.
Your shares are priced in US dollars (USD) and traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
When you join Sharepurchase, you decide how much you'd like to contribute each pay period – anywhere between $11.50 and $311.50 per pay period. Your contributions come straight from your net (after-tax) pay through payroll, and are collected by Computershare. At the end of the 12-month offering period, we'll use your contributions to buy Flutter shares for you on your behalf. Once purchased, your shares will appear in your EquatePlus account, where you can hold, sell, or transfer them.
Sharepurchase shares are purchased annually on December 31, or on the next business day, using your contributions from the previous 12-month offering period.
The number of shares you can buy in each 12-month offering period will depend on the discounted price at the time the shares are bought and the amount that you have contributed in total.
You can check our latest share price anytime at the Flutter Investors Share Price Centre, or on your EquatePlus account (Ticker: FLUT). Remember, share prices can go up or down depending on market conditions and how our business is performing.
If, after your shares have been purchased for you using your contributions, there is an amount left over that isn't enough to buy a whole share, the leftover balance, called a residual balance, will automatically be carried over into the next 12-month offering period, where it will be added onto your new contributions toward your next, annual share purchase. Your enrolment in SharePurchase automatically renews each year, and your participation and contributions will continue unless you decide to make a change to your contribution amount or opt out.
You can see exactly how many shares you have in your EquatePlus account. A few days after each annual purchase, your new shares will be deposited automatically. You will also be able to see the discounted price that the shares were acquired at.
Once your shares are in your EquatePlus account, they're yours to manage. You can:
- Keep them and remain a Flutter shareholder, enjoying any future dividends when paid, and potential share price growth (just note that Flutter isn't currently paying dividends, and the share price may go up or down).
- Sell some or all of them at any time (subject to normal share-dealing rules). You may need to pay some taxes when you sell your shares. For more information on this see section 9: Taxes.
- Transfer them to your own personal brokerage account if you prefer. Please note, there is a fee for this.
When you join Sharepurchase, you decide how much you'd like to contribute each pay period – currently anywhere between $11.50 (minimum) and $311.50 (maximum). It's completely your choice! You can see the current monthly minimum and maximum contribution amounts on EquatePlus when you enrol. These can also be reviewed in the 'Resources' section.
Your Sharepurchase contributions are taken automatically through payroll. They're deducted bi-weekly and are taken from your net (after-tax) pay. The minimum deduction will be $11.50 and the maximum deduction will be $311.50 every two weeks.
The money is then held safely by Computershare, in a non-interest bearing account until the end of the 12-month offering period, when it's used to buy your shares.
No, contributions to Sharepurchase can only be made through regular payroll deductions. This keeps things easy and consistent for everyone taking part.
Once the enrolment window has closed it is not possible to reduce your contribution amount, however, it is possible to stop your contribution.
Yes, you can stop contributing to Sharepurchase whenever you like through your EquatePlus account (subject to restrictions for Restricted Persons).
Once you stop, no further deductions will be taken from your pay. Then, you can choose one of two options:
- Leave your existing contributions in the plan, so that they'll still be used to buy shares for you at the discounted price at the end of the 12-month offering period; or
- Withdraw your contributions, in which case any money you've already paid in but not yet used to buy shares will be returned to you via payroll.
You can choose to start contributing again at the beginning of each annual cycle. For more information, see section 8, and question 8.1: What happens if I withdraw from Sharepurchase?.
If you're on paid temporary leave, for example, maternity, parental, or sick leave, your Sharepurchase contributions will generally continue as long as your pay is enough to cover the amount you've chosen to contribute. You are encouraged to review your contribution level before you go on leave. If your leave is expected to exceed three months and your right to reemployment is not otherwise protected by law or contract, your employment may be deemed to be terminated on the first day immediately following such three-month period and you may be treated as having withdrawn from Sharepurchase (see section 8: Leavers and Leaving).
If you're on unpaid leave, such as a sabbatical, your contributions will be paused automatically. They'll start again once you return to paid work, although you won't be able to make up any missed contributions for the period you were away.
You can join via EquatePlus, our share plan platform. It's run by Computershare, our share plan administrator.

If you are eligible, you can join Sharepurchase from November 18, 2025, when the plan launches.
If you decide to join and complete the full 12-month offering period, your participation will continue automatically each year, with no need to re-enrol. This is because Sharepurchase is an evergreen plan.
At the start of each new cycle, you'll have the chance to review and change your contribution amount if you wish, or you can simply carry on contributing the same amount. You'll stay in Sharepurchase until you choose to withdraw from the plan, leave Flutter or are no longer eligible under the plan rules.
You can find the key dates for participation in the 'Resources' section.
If you decide not to join, or you're new to Flutter and miss the invitation window, you will be given an opportunity to join the next annual Sharepurchase cycle.
You can log in to EquatePlus using your existing account details. You will see a task notification to join Sharepurchase.
Yes, if you withdraw from Sharepurchase, you can rejoin during the next invitation window.
You can easily view and manage all your shares through your EquatePlus account.
Once you've joined, your shares will appear in your account after each annual purchase, allowing you to see the total number of shares you hold. You will be able to see the total value of your shares at the current share price.
You'll also receive regular updates and notifications via email from EquatePlus, and via in-app notifications if you download and use the EquatePlus app – so that you'll always know when your shares have been added.
Once your shares appear in your EquatePlus account, they're yours to keep or sell whenever you choose, subject to normal share-dealing rules and any applicable taxes – please see section 9: Taxes as well as the tax guide in the 'Resources' section for more details. You can sell your shares directly through EquatePlus via the 'Transact' button in the relevant plan tile. The choices available will be shown onscreen.
The transaction will be processed when the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open. If you submit your instruction when the NYSE is closed, the transaction will be processed when the NYSE next opens.
You will have the choice of selling at market price (the current price shown onscreen) or at a price limit (meaning you can sell at a particular price if it becomes available). You must review and agree to the terms and conditions before placing your instruction. You will be able to view the quantity to be sold, estimated proceeds and fees before completing the transaction. A confirmation will be available in your 'Library' and you will also receive an email notification.
Before selling shares you will need to add your bank account details to your EquatePlus account. You will see a task on the landing page of EquatePlus where you can add your bank details. If you wish to update your bank details click on your Profile picture on the top right of your EquatePlus account, select Financial details and 'Add new bank account'.
From time to time, there may be blackout periods or trading restrictions when buying or selling shares isn't allowed, for example if there is a major company announcement or financial result. These are standard for all listed companies. We'll always let you know when a blackout period applies and when trading opens again.
Yes, once your shares have been purchased and appear in EquatePlus, you can usually transfer them to your own personal brokerage account if you prefer to manage them elsewhere. There is a fee to transfer your shares and details of this fee are available in the Share Plan Account (SPA) terms and conditions, that can be found on your EquatePlus account.
Before transferring your shares you will need to add your brokerage details. Click on your Profile picture on the top right of your EquatePlus account, select Financial details and 'Add new brokerage account'. If you wish to update your broker details click on your Profile picture on the top right of your EquatePlus account, select Financial details and 'Edit account' and follow the onscreen instructions. It is important that you provide the exact account information from your broker and also let your broker know that they will be receiving the Flutter shares.
Transfers are handled through EquatePlus and may take up to 20 days to complete.
You can also hold your shares in EquatePlus for as long as you wish if you'd rather not transfer them.
When you sell your shares through EquatePlus, you will be charged a transaction fee. These are set by Computershare, our share plan administrator, and will be shown clearly before you confirm any sale. The fees are detailed in the Share Plan Account (SPA) terms and conditions, that can be found on your EquatePlus account.
If the proceeds you receive when you sell your shares are converted to a currency other than USD, the applicable exchange rate at the time of the sale will apply.
There are no fees for holding your shares in EquatePlus, and you can keep them there for as long as you wish.
You can leave Sharepurchase at any time if you decide it's no longer right for you or you are leaving Flutter.
To withdraw, simply make a request through your EquatePlus account. Once you've submitted your request, no further contributions will be taken from your pay, subject to meeting your payroll cut-off dates.
If you withdraw before the end of the 12-month offering period, any money you've contributed that hasn't yet been used to buy shares in previous cycles will be returned to you through payroll. Please note that, depending on your payroll cut-off dates, this refund may take a few weeks to appear.
Any shares you already have are yours to keep. You can continue to hold them in EquatePlus, sell them (subject to normal share-dealing rules), or transfer them to another brokerage account whenever you wish.
We'll be sad to see you go but if you leave Flutter, any shares you already have are yours to keep. You can continue to hold them in EquatePlus or sell or transfer them whenever you wish (subject to normal share-dealing rules). If you leave before the end of the 12-month offering period, any money you've contributed that hasn't yet been used to buy shares will be returned to you through payroll.
Once you've left Flutter you'll receive a notification to view your details on EquatePlus, setting out the choices available to you. It is important that before you leave you provide Flutter with a personal email address. This address will be updated on your EquatePlus account by Flutter. You can also update your EquatePlus account at any time by adding a current email address, so you receive communications in the future. As a former employee you will be able to update your personal details directly on the platform yourself.
Yes. Dividends are paid to all Flutter shareholders, so as long as you continue to own shares after leaving Flutter, you're still entitled to dividends. Just note that Flutter isn't currently paying dividends.
You normally won't need to pay any tax when you buy your Sharepurchase shares.
However, you will need to pay tax when you sell your shares.
Once your shares have been purchased for you, you can sell them at any time (subject to the normal share dealing restrictions for Restricted Persons), and it's up to you whether you decide to sell them soon after buying them or hold onto them for longer to benefit from potential tax advantages.
If you sell your shares within one year of buying them (or within two years of the beginning of the offering period), any gain you make will usually be taxed as:
- Ordinary income tax on the difference between the market price when you bought them and what you paid, and
- Capital gains tax on any additional increase in value when you sell (short-term or long-term rates depending on the amount of time you've held the shares).
If you sell your shares more than one year after buying them and two years after the beginning of the offering period, you may qualify for more favourable tax treatment. In that case, you'll usually pay:
- Ordinary income tax on the smaller of (1) the 15% discount or (2) your actual gain (the excess of the market price you sell the stock for over the price you paid), and
- Long-term capital gains tax on any remaining profit, which is generally taxed at a lower rate.
Holding your shares for longer before you sell may therefore reduce the amount of tax you pay overall, depending on your personal circumstances.
All taxes are due in your annual tax return. Your employer will not withhold any taxes.
If you sell any shares, you'll receive a Form 1099-B from EquatePlus – this shows the details of your sale and helps you report it on your tax return. Your local company will also include any related income tax arising on your Form W-2 (your annual wage and tax statement) to help you complete your Form 1040 (your US individual income tax return). We recommend speaking with a tax professional to make sure everything is reported correctly.
In the US, we are required to report details of your shareholdings to local tax authorities. Any purchase of shares made through the plan will be reported on Form 3922, which shows information about shares acquired through an employee stock purchase plan. You'll receive a copy of this form by January 31 of the year following your purchase of shares. For more information, please see the specific country tax guide.
You don't need to do anything unless we contact you for additional information, but it's a good idea to keep your own records of any shares you buy or sell for your personal tax return.
Because tax is very specific to your personal circumstances, we can't give you tax advice. If you'd like guidance, we encourage you to speak to an independent tax adviser.
If you move to another country, you may no longer be eligible to participate in Sharepurchase.
If you are taking part in Sharepurchase and become ineligible to participate, your participation will stop and any money you've contributed that hasn't yet been used to buy shares in previous cycles will be returned to you through payroll.
In some circumstances you may have the choice of waiting until the end of the offering period and we'll use your contributions to buy Flutter shares for you on your behalf.
Any shares you already have are yours to keep. Your shares will continue to be managed through your EquatePlus account, so you'll always be able to view them, sell them or transfer them to another broker.
Should you relocate to another country that offers a Flutter Share Plan (such as Sharebuild or Sharesave) and providing you are eligible, you will be able to enrol at the next available opportunity.
Yes, if you're on a temporary assignment within another part of the US and your payroll department remains in the US, you can continue to take part as usual.
If you're on a temporary assignment outside of the US, you can usually continue participating in Sharepurchase providing you remain on the US payroll. If you transfer to a different payroll in another country, then your participation in Sharepurchase will need to pause until you return to the US.
You can view details about your Sharepurchase account by logging in to EquatePlus.

We try to avoid jargon, but if you come across these terms, here's what they mean:
- All-Employee Share Plan
-
A company plan that gives every eligible employee the chance to become a shareholder. Sharepurchase (offered to employees in the US) is one of Flutter's global All-Employee Share Plans. Flutter also offer either Sharesave or Sharebuild in other countries.
- Blackout Period
-
A temporary period of time, usually around major company announcements or financial results, when employees aren't allowed to buy or sell Flutter shares (other than in circumstances where an election has been made in a trading window to participate in Sharepurchase).

- Capital Gains
-
Capital gains are the profits earned from selling a capital asset, such as shares, property, or investments, for an amount that exceeds the tax basis of such asset (i.e., generally the price they were bought for). These gains are subject to capital gains tax, which may be short-term or long-term depending on how long the asset was held prior to being sold.

- Income Tax
-
Income tax is a tax imposed by the federal government – and in many cases, by state and local governments – based on an individual's earnings, including wages, salaries, interest, and other income sources.
- Lookback
-
With Sharepurchase, a lookback feature allows employees to buy company shares at a discount based on the lower of the share price at the start of the offering period or at the end of the offering period.
This means employees benefit if the share price increases during the offering period, as they can buy shares at a price determined when the stock was lower.
- Restricted Persons

An employee who may have access to sensitive or confidential company information. Restricted Persons can still join Sharepurchase but must follow our normal share-dealing rules when selling or transferring shares as well as see clearance to join before enrolling or withdrawing from Sharepurchase.
- Share Price

- Sharesave
-
Our previous all-employee share plan in the US, which continues in some countries – including the UK, Ireland and the Isle of Man. Sharepurchase has replaced Sharesave in the US.
