BerGenBio ASA: Grant of share options

Bergen, Norway, 21 November 2022 - BerGenBio ASA (the "Company") (OSE:BGBIO), a

clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel, selective AXL kinase

inhibitors for severe unmet medical needs, today announce that the Board of

Directors has granted options to employees.

The annual general meeting in the Company 28 April 2022 approved the share

option program and authorised the board of directors of the Company to issue

shares to the Company's employees as part of a long-term incentive plan and

share option program.

Options granted under the share option program will vest equally over a three

-year vesting period following the grant and each option, when exercised, will

give the right for each option to acquire one share in the Company at a fixed

strike price. Options granted under the share option program expire eight years

after grant date.

A total of 2,114,230 share options, equal to 2.38% of total shares issued in the

Company, were granted at strike price at NOK 7.59 per option, constituting the

volume weighted average share price over the last two weeks before the grant.

The board considers an option program as an important element in attracting and

retaining employees to foster long-term success. The board considers the option

program terms and allocation to be at the market for comparable peers.

Due to changes in Executive Management over the last two years, this grant is

above the average annual grant which has been 1.87% over the last five years.

After this grant the total issued options is 4.92% of the total issued shares in

the Company, below the average level over the last five years of 5.93%.
