The annual general meeting resolved in accordance with the board's proposal to introduce an employee stock option program for the Company's employees. Employee stock options shall be offered to persons that are employed by the Company on 15 June 2021. The employee stock options shall be assigned to participants free of charge. Each employee stock option shall entitle the holder to, at the achievement of certain strategic and operational goals which will be set by the board in advance, after a three-year vesting period acquire one (1) new common share in the Company at an exercise price corresponding to 125 percent of the volumeweighted average price of the Company's share according to Nasdaq Stockholm's price list during the period ten (10) trading days before 25 May 2021. The subscription price can, however, in no case be less than the quotient value. The right to participate in employee stock option program 2021/2024 is subject to the participant entering into an option agreement with the Company.
To enable the Company's delivery of shares under the program and to cover potential social security costs arising from it, the annual general meeting resolved on a directed issue of no more than 211,126 warrants, out of which 50,476 warrants were issued to cover cash flow effects from potential social security costs arising from the program.
The maximum dilution effect of employee stock option program 2021/2024 is estimated to 0.77 percent of the share capital and the votes in the Company (calculated based on the number of existing shares in the Company at the time of the notice), provided full exercise of all employee stock options and warrants issued to cover potential cash flow effects from social security costs.
