Aker Solutions ASA: Buy-Back of Own Shares to Meet Obligations Arising From Incentive Programs
Aker Solutions ASA: Buy-Back of Own Shares to Meet Obligations Arising From Incentive Programs
May 6, 2021 - Aker Solutions ASA ("Aker Solutions") will allocate shares to
eligible participants under two incentive programs established for executives
and senior managers of Kværner ASA ("Kvaerner"). The programs were originally
launched by Kvaerner in 2018 and 2019 and include a right to receive shares for
participants who remain employed after three years.
The obligation to honor share allocation in the programs was transferred from
Kvaerner to Aker Solutions as part of the merger of the companies on November
10, 2020. Participants in the programs are entitled to receive a total of
1,572,919 shares in Aker Solutions. 466,249 shares will be allocated in May 2021
and 1,106,670 shares, subject to no resignations, will be allocated in May 2022.
A third-party investment broker firm will under an irrevocable mandate issued by
Aker Solutions, in accordance with the regulations on market abuse and technical
standards, buy a total of 1,572,919 shares in the open market and handle onwards
allocation to eligible participants in the two incentive programs. Under the
mandate, the investment broker will make its own trading decisions and handle
the allocation independently of, and uninfluenced by, Aker Solutions.
The share purchases are expected to be finalized no later than end of June 2021
and are subject to statutory stock exchange disclosures. Aker Solutions' current
holding of 101,636 own shares will not be used to fulfil allocation under the
two incentive programs.
