Employee Stock Option Plan 2017
In accordance with the Board of Directors’ revised proposal, the Meeting resolved to adopt an employee stock option plan for employees and consultants in the Company and in the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Moberg Pharma North America LLC. It will be permissible to allot a maximum of 75,000 employee stock options per plan participant and a maximum of total 413,500 employee stock options. The participants in the program are divided in two categories: the senior executives’ (Anna Ljung, Martin Ingman, Kjell Rosenfeldt, Jeff Vernimb and Peter Wolpert) (“Group 1”) and other participants (“Group 2”). The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer shall decide which persons shall be encompassed in Group 2 based on position, qualification and individual performance. The participants in Group 1 and 2 are jointly referred to as “Participants”.
Within Group 1, Anna Ljung and Martin Ingman are proposed to be allotted 30,000 employee stock options each, Kjell Rensfeldt is proposed to be allotted 45,000 employee stock options, Jeff Vernimb is proposed to be allotted 62,000 employee stock options and Peter Wolpert is proposed to be allotted 55,000 employee stock options. The number of employee stock options to be allotted to Group 2 participants will be resolved by the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer and may be adjusted proportionally based on each person's time as an employee or as a consultant in the Company or Moberg North America. Participants in the Program shall be allotted the employee stock options free of charge.

In addition, the Meeting resolved to approve that the subsidiary is entitled to transfer warrants or shares in the Company to the Participants, or otherwise dispose of the warrants, in order to secure the Company’s commitments and costs in connection with the employee stock option plan. In the event that all warrants issued in respect of Employee Stock Option Plan 2017 are used to subscribe for new shares, the Company’s share capital will increase by SEK 41,350 from SEK 1,741,184.20 to SEK 1,782,534.20. This is equivalent to a dilution of approximately 2 per cent of the shares and votes in the Company.
