Practicalities: How can I obtain the early release of my shares?

Submit your release request to your HR manager, who will liaise with the account holder (Uptevia), within six months of the triggering event (except in cases of termination or discontinuation of employment contract, death, disability, domestic violence and over-indebtedness, where this request may be made at any time).

A few days after your request has been approved, you will receive a single payment which, depending on your request, will cover all or part of the funds available to be released.
