Advice: what to do when my company gives me free shares?


The company I work is supporting the employers to buy their stock.

If I buy shares, the company gives me the 50% of what I bought for free (max 50 shares, ~5k€)

The issue is that I already have a huge position of the stock and I don't want to increase the exposure.

My idea was to sell 150 of my own shares and buy 100 with the offer, so I basically get 50 shares for free, however the current price is arround/below what I paid originally.

Considering tax implications, what is the best movement I can do? What would you do?
