The annual shareholders' meeting resolved, in accordance with the proposal from the board, to implement a long-term incentive program for employees (“LTI 2019”). LTI 2019 means that up to 30 employees will be offered the possibility to participate in a performance-based share saving program, which under certain circumstances will entitle the participant allotment of ordinary shares in the company free of charge for each invested ordinary share in the company (the “Saving Shares”). Investment in Saving Shares shall be made on 31 December 2019 at the latest (the “Investment Period”). If the Saving Shares are retained as from the expiration of the Investment Period to and including 31 December 2022 (the “Saving Period”) and the participant has continued to be employed by the company throughout the Saving Period, the participant is entitled to allotment of additional ordinary shares in the company free of charge (the “Performance Shares”), provided that certain performance targets are achieved or exceeded. The total maximum number of Performance Shares that may be issued within LTI 2019 amounts to 795,000, which corresponds to a dilution of approximately 1.51 per cent of the company’s share capital and votes after full dilution, calculated on the number of shares that will be added upon full issuance of Performance Shares in connection with LTI 2019.
In order to secure the company's delivery of Performance Shares to the participants in LTI 2019, the annual shareholders' meeting also resolved to authorize the board of directors to resolve on directed issues of series C shares, whereby the new shares, with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, only may be subscribed for by a bank or a securities company at a subscription price which corresponds to the quota value of the shares. Furthermore, the annual shareholders’ meeting resolved to authorize the board of directors to resolve to repurchase its own series C shares and on transfer of own ordinary shares to the participants in LTI 2019.
