birkle IT virtual share option program: Empowering employees and investing in their future

At birkle IT we understand that our employees are our greatest asset, and we want to ensure that they feel valued and appreciated. That’s why we’re thrilled to share that from the start of 2023 we launched a Virtual Share Option Program (VSOP), which provides our people with an opportunity to share in the value and success of our company through virtual shares. We are excited to see the positive impact this program is already having on our team and our organization as a whole.

What are virtual shares?

Virtual shares, also known as phantom stocks, are a type of equity compensation that simulates the value of our company’s shares. Unlike real shares, they cannot be bought or sold on the stock market, and they are distributed free of charge. Instead, they represent a promise to pay employees a bonus equal to the value of their virtual shares at a later date.

How do virtual shares work?

Our VSOP allows our employees to receive virtual shares based on their performance, tenure, and other factors. The more virtual shares an employee has, the greater their potential bonus payout when certain conditions are met.

There are two main ways that virtual shares can become money. The first is through a profit distribution at the end of the financial year, where the company shares its profits with our employees based on their virtual shareholdings. The second is when the company becomes publicly listed or is sold, and the employees receive a bonus payout equal to the value of their virtual shares.

Partnership with Ledgy

As a company, we are committed to providing our employees with the best tools to manage their virtual shares. That’s why we’ve partnered with Ledgy, the leading equity management software platform in Europe. Ledgy makes it easy for employees to view the value of their shares, manage and sign their contracts, and simulate different exit scenarios. Ledgy is a company that shares our values of transparency, fairness, and innovation, and we are delighted with their service. With Ledgy, our employees have the peace of mind of knowing that their virtual shares are being managed securely and transparently, which helps them focus on their work and contribute to our company’s success.
