TAMPERE, Finland, June 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bioretec Ltd Company Announcement -1 June 2026 at 19:05 p.m. EEST
The Board of Directors of Bioretec Ltd has resolved to establish a new stock option plan for key personnel and selected consultants of the Group. There is a weighty financial reason for the Company to issue stock options, as they are intended to form part of the incentive and commitment program for the Group's key personnel and consultants. The stock options are intended to encourage the participants to work on a long-term basis to increase shareholder value and to commit the participants to the service of the Company. The stock option plan is directed to approximately 30 key persons and consultants.
A maximum total of 182,970,807 stock options will be issued, entitling their owners to subscribe for a maximum total of 182,970,807 new shares in the Company or existing shares held by the Company. The stock options are issued gratuitously. Of the stock options, 96,059,674 are marked with the symbol 2026A and 86,911,133 are marked with the symbol 2026B.
The shares to be subscribed for on the basis of the issued stock options correspond to a maximum total of 12 per cent of all the shares and votes in the Company after potential share subscriptions, should new shares be issued in the subscription. As a result of the share subscriptions, the number of shares in the Company may increase by a maximum total of 182,970,807 shares, should new shares be issued in the subscription.
The stock options vest gradually over four years, subject to continued employment or service. After a 12-month cliff, 40 per cent of the 2026A options and 25 per cent of the 2026B options will vest. The remaining options of both classes will vest in equal quarterly instalments over the subsequent three years.
The share subscription price for stock options 2026A and 2026B is the volume-weighted average share price (VWAP) of the Company's share during the period of one (1) month commencing on April 29, 2026, plus a 20 per cent premium.
The share subscription price will be credited to the reserve for the Company's invested unrestricted equity. The share subscription price will be reduced by the amount of dividends and assets from reserves of unrestricted equity per share resolved after the Board's resolution but before the share subscription.
The share subscription period for the stock options starts when options vest and ends on May 31, 2032, for both stock options 2026A and 2026B.
The theoretical market value of one stock option is EUR 0.0172 per stock option. The total theoretical market value of all stock options is approximately EUR 3,147,098. The theoretical market value of one stock option has been calculated using the Black & Scholes stock option pricing model, taking into account the exercise price of the stock option and the following assumptions: share price EUR 0.0226, risk-free interest rate 2.77%, time to maturity approximately six years, current dividend yield 0% and volatility approximately 89.60%.
The Board of Directors resolved on the new stock option plan by virtue of an authorisation granted by the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders on March 27, 2026.
