- The original share subscription price for the options is EUR 0.104 per share and it is equal to the subscription price used in the company’s share issue in February 2022.
- Should the company distribute dividends or assets from reserves of unrestricted equity, the original share subscription price of the stock options shall be decreased by the amount of the dividend and the amount of the distributable unrestricted equity decided before share subscription, as per the dividend record date or the record date of the repayment of equity.
