exercise of the Option, new shares that entitle a Holder of the Rights the

right to receive dividend in the financial year following the emission. Whether

the obligations under the Options issued are satisfied via the emission of new

shares or via share buyback from the secondary market, shall be decided by the

supervisory board of AS Tallink Grupp.
