Warum sollte ING positive Nachrichten verbreiten, wenn die gerade eigene Aktien für die Prämien der Mitarbeiter kaufen?
ING Groep N.V. has bought 7,260,000 (depositary receipts for) ordinary shares for its delta hedge portfolio, which is used to hedge employee options. The shares were bought on the open market between 19 March and 23 March 2009 at an average price of EUR 4.24 per share.
ING does not issue new shares to cover employee options. Instead, employees receive shares from the delta hedge portfolio, which is maintained to minimise the market risks and price fluctuations that arise from the employee option programmes. The hedge position is adjusted periodically, generally on a quarterly basis, in accordance with regulatory requirements and ING's policies to prevent market manipulation.
The hedge book currently holds 41.1 million (depositary receipts for) ordinary ING shares, representing 2.0 % of the 2,063 million shares outstanding.
