The Phantom Share Agreement serves as a critical tool for Danish companies seeking to implement employee incentive programs without diluting existing shareholdings or altering their corporate structure. This document type is particularly valuable for private companies, subsidiaries of international groups, or organizations with complex shareholding structures. The agreement details the grant, vesting, valuation, and settlement of phantom shares, ensuring compliance with Danish legal requirements including the Companies Act, Stock Option Act, and relevant tax regulations. When implementing a Phantom Share Agreement, companies must carefully consider vesting schedules, valuation mechanisms, and payment triggers while ensuring alignment with Danish employment law principles and tax implications.
