(Oslo, 8 July 2020) Nel ASA (the Company) today has resolved to grant options to

all employees of the Company that fulfill the requirements for participation in

term incentive plans.

are granted without consideration. Pursuant to the vesting schedule, 40% of the

options will vest two year after the day of grant, and 60% of the options will

vest three years after the day of grant. Vesting requires the option holder

still to be an employee in the Company. The strike price of the options shall be

NOK 21,72 based on the average price of the Nel ASA share the five trading days

before grant date (NOK 20,11) and including an 8% premium. The options that have
