Each option gives the right to receive one share in the Company. For more information on the LTIP and outstanding share options, please see the Company’s Annual Report as well as the notice to the Annual General Meeting 2025.

Following the exercise, the Board of Directors, pursuant to authorisation granted at the Company’s Annual General Meeting, has decided to increase the Company’s share capital by NOK 233,250.00 by issuing 2,332,500 new shares of par value NOK 0.1.

The results of the sales process for primary insiders will be announced in a separate stock exchange notice when known.
