Kitron: KIT – Issue of shares under share incentive program
(2019-05-31) Reference is made to Kitron ASA's previous disclosures regarding
its share incentive program. Kitron has received exercises notices from the
participants in the share incentive program and Kitron's board of directors has
consequently resolved to issue 2,911,379 new shares. The shares are issued to
the option holders at a strike price of NOK 0.10 per share pursuant to the board
authorisation resolved in Kitron's general meeting held 30 April 2019.
In addition, Kitron has decided to convert 2,027,358 options under the share
incentive program against cash consideration. The cash consideration will be
utilised to cover the tax cost for the option holders which will be subject to
advance tax deduction by Kitron after exercise of the options. The conversion of
options is made at NOK 8.97, which is equal to the closing price on Oslo Børs on
29 May, 2019 less the strike price of NOK 0.10 per share.
