Report this content

As a part of P/F Bakkafrost’s share-based bonus scheme for employees, the board of directors has resolved to issue a total of 84,607 new shares, each with a par value of DKK 1, and to increase the share capital from DKK 59,143,000 to DKK 59,227,607.  

The new shares were issued under an authorization in the articles of association section 4A. The share capital increase pertaining to the new shares is registered with the Faroe Registration Authority, and the new share capital is DKK 59,227,607, divided by 59,227,607 shares, each with a par value of DKK 1. The new shares are expected to be delivered on or about 23 May 2023. The new shares will be tradable upon delivery.

Bakkafrost implemented the share-based bonus scheme in 2021 for all employees in the group. According to the scheme, all employees are awarded a combination of free Bonus Shares and Restricted Shares with a 3-year vesting period. The award is dependent on achieved performance against certain profitability and sustainability KPIs, and subject to Bakkafrost group’s adjusted earnings per share being above a certain threshold. The Bonus Shares and Restricted Shares are awarded quarterly as restricted share units which are released if the annual general meeting resolves to pay dividends to the shareholders for the year the bonus concerns. However, the Restricted Shares units are not released to the employees until after the 3-year vesting period, subject to the employee still being employed at that time.
