Miami - January 24, 2020

Atlantic Sapphire AS (the “Company”) announces the rollout of its annual long-term incentive plan, approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on January 21, 2020, to further align the interests of the Company’s management and shareholders.

Additionally, 138,000 stock options were granted to new employees, including (i) 81,000 options authorized on January 21, 2020 for new employees of the Company, effective on each employee’s start date, and (ii) 57,000 options authorized on December 3, 2019 for new employees of the Company, effective on each employee’s start date. Each case is set forth in greater detail in the attachment.

Each option gives the holder upon exercise the right acquire one new share. All options are issued with an exercise price ‘at the money’ on the date of grant and four-year vesting period (with 25% of the total options vesting each year), exercisable up to five years from the date of grant.
