Nordic Nanovector ASA: Allocation of restricted stock unites (RSUs) to the board of directors

Oslo, Norway, June 2nd, 2017

Reference is made to the minutes from Nordic Nanovector ASA's (the "Company") (OSE: NANO) annual general meeting held on 24 May 2017 in Oslo, Norway (the "AGM").
At the AGM, the shareholders approved the issuance of restricted stock units ("RSUs") to board members who elect to receive all or parts of their remuneration, for the period from the annual general meeting in 2017 to the annual general meeting in 2018, in the form of RSUs.

The RSUs are non-transferable and each RSU gives the right and obligation to acquire one share in the Company at a price of NOK 0.20 per share (corresponding to the nominal value of the shares), subject to satisfaction of the applicable vesting conditions stated in the RSU agreements.

The board members may elect to either (i) receive 100% of the compensation in RSUs, (ii) receive 1/3 of the compensation in cash and 2/3 in RSUs, or (iii) receive 2/3 of the compensation in cash and 1/3 in RSUs. The election made by each board member has been set out in the table below. The number of RSUs to be granted to the members of the Board of Directors is calculated as the NOK amount of the RSU opted portion of total compensation to the board member, divided by the market price of the Nordic Nanovector shares. The market price is calculated on the basis of the volume weighted average share price 10 trading days prior to the date of the AGM, i.e. NOK 93.34. 

Pursuant to the RSU program, the board members and primary insiders have made the following election and hold the following number of RSUs and shares following such election:

1. NOK 475 000 as chairman of the Board, NOK 20 000 as a member of the audit committee and NOK 20 000 as a member of the compensation committee.
2. NOK 275 000 as board member, NOK 40 000 as chairman of the compensation committee and NOK 20 000 as a member of the audit committee.
3. Per Samuelsson is not allowed to hold equity in the Company due to his affiliation with HealthCap, and will only receive cash.
4. NOK 275 000 as board member, NOK 40 000 as chairman of the audit committee and NOK 20 000 as a member of the compensation committee.
5 NOK 275 000 as board member, NOK 20 000 as a member of the compensation committee.

A total of 13 945 RSUs have thus been allocated following the AGM. The RSUs will vest on 24 May 2018. For further information about the RSU Program see note 12 to the Company's annual accounts included in the Company's annual report for 2016.
