Elliptic Labs: Grant of 2026 Share Options, Replacement Options and Mandatory Notifications of Trade

Elliptic Labs: Grant of 2026 Share Options, Replacement Options and Mandatory Notifications of Trade

Oslo, Norway --- Elliptic Labs (OSE: ELABS) announces that the Company's Board

of Directors has resolved to grant share options under the Company's 2026

annual option grant and to make a voluntary replacement option offer to

eligible option holders.

The 2026 annual option grant comprises a total of 2,595,025 share options,

distributed among 64 employees, including certain persons discharging

managerial responsibilities in the Company.

Each option, when exercised, carries the right to acquire one share in the

Company. The strike price for the options granted under the 2026 annual option

grant is NOK 3.20 per share, based on the 30-day volume-weighted average price

in accordance with the price mechanism set out in the Company's remuneration

policy.

The options granted under the 2026 annual option grant will vest annually over

a period of three years, with an additional two years before expiry.

The following persons discharging managerial responsibilities have been

granted options under the 2026 annual option grant:

* Ola Tviberg Sandstad (CEO) has been granted 400,000 share options.

* Brian Daly (CCO) has been granted 200,000 share options.

* Mathias Norderud (CFO) has been granted 390,000 share options.

* Øystein Grimstad (CPO) has been granted 325,000 share options.

* Tobias Borén Svendsen (CTO) has been granted 260,000 share options.

The Board of Directors has also resolved to make a voluntary replacement

option offer to eligible holders of previously granted options. The

replacement offer is intended to restore the incentive effect of the Company's

option program, as existing employee share options have exercise prices

significantly above the current market price of the Company's shares. The

Board considers the replacement offer to be proportionate, limited in scope

and important to support of the Company's long-term interests, including the

attraction, motivation and retention of key employees. As the aggregate grants

exceed the annual grant threshold set out in the Company's remuneration

guidelines, the Board has concluded that the circumstances justify a temporary

deviation in this specific case.

Under the replacement offer, eligible option holders may elect to relinquish

existing options in exchange for new options at a ratio of two existing

options for one new option.

The replacement offer covers a maximum of 1,566,286 new options, assuming full

acceptance by all eligible participants. The replacement offer is voluntary,

and the final number of replacement options will depend on the level of

acceptance by eligible participants.

By accepting the replacement offer, the relevant participant will forfeit all

rights under the participant's previously granted share options, whether

vested or unvested, and such previously granted options will become null and

void from the date the new award agreement is signed. The participant will not

receive any compensation or consideration for the relinquishment of the

previously granted options, other than the grant of replacement options on the

terms of the replacement offer.

The replacement options will be granted free of charge. Each replacement

option, when exercised, will carry the right to acquire one share in the

Company. The strike price for the replacement options will be NOK 3.20 per

share, determined in accordance with the price mechanism set out in the

Company's remuneration policy.

The replacement options will vest annually over a period of three years, with

an additional two years before expiry, in line with the Company's remuneration

policy.

Following the 2026 annual option grant and assuming full acceptance of the

replacement offer, the aggregate number of outstanding options granted to the

board of directors, executive management and employees in the company will be

5,331,310, corresponding to approximately 4.22% of the Company's total

outstanding share capital.

Assuming acceptance of the replacement offer, the maximum number of options

held by the persons discharging managerial responsibilities listed below

following completion of the replacement offer and the 2026 annual option grant

will be as follows:

* Ola Tviberg Sandstad currently holds 255,000 share options. Assuming

acceptance of the replacement offer, Sandstad will receive 127,500 replacement

options and has been granted 400,000 share options under the 2026 annual
