The Meeting approved the Board of Directors’ proposal regarding guidelines for remuneration to the senior management.
In accordance with the proposal by the Board of Directors, the Meeting resolved on adoption of an incentive programme based on performance based employee stock options for certain employees. The incentive programme includes certain employees in the Episurf group (up to 23 persons, including Episurf’s senior management). No more than 3,898,159 performance options will be issued. The performance options are hedged by an issue of no more than 3,898,159 warrants of series 2023/2026 to the Company itself. Provided that the participant is still employed by the Episurf group at the expiry of a vesting period of three years, each performance option entitles the employee to purchase one share of series B in the Company for a price of SEK 2.04 per share of series B. Furthermore, the performance options are subject to certain performance targets for the financial year 2023, which determine to what extent the employees are entitled to keep and exercise the performance options. The programme means that a maximum of 3,898,159 shares of series B may be issued, corresponding to a maximum dilution of approximately 1.4 per cent of the number of shares and votes in the Company.
Finally, the Meeting resolved, in accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors, on an issue authorisation for the Board of Directors.
