Grant of share purchase rights to participating employees, including primary insiders - mandatory notification of trade
Employee share incentive program:
In accordance with the resolution in the Extraordinary
General Meeting in Birdstep Technology ASA on 10
November 2010, the Board of Directors granted share
purchase rights to employees participating in an
incentive based program.
The incentive based program involves a savings plan
offered to all employees who voluntarily agreed to
reduce their annual base salary by up to 15% for 1
year. After a contribution/service period of one year,
such employees may acquire shares at a 50% discount of
the lower of the fair market value at 15 November 2010
(the date of commencement of the contribution/service
period) or the fair market value at 14 November 2011
(the date of grant). The eligible and participating
employee shall cover the applicable employer's
contribution according to applicable law. As a result
of this program, the total number of share purchase
rights being granted is 4 121 618, representing a 5.8%
dilution effect (as of 15 November 2010). However,
this dilution effect is subject to change as the
strike price of the options will be the lower of 50%
of the closing price of the Birdstep share on the Oslo
Stock Exchange on 15 November 2010 or 14 November
The following primary insiders were granted share
purchase rights, representing 69.3% of the total share
purchase rights under the incentive based program,
each with a maximum strike price of NOK 0.56, which is
equal to 50% of the closing price of the Birdstep
share on the Oslo Stock Exchange on (Monday) 15
