The stock options are offered to selected key personnel of Efecte Group. The Board of Directors decides on the distribution of the stock options to key personnel.
There is a weighty financial ground for the Company for the issuance of the stock options since the stock options are intended to form part of the incentive and commitment program of the key persons of Efecte Group and to motivate the key personnel to work on a long-term basis to increase the shareholder value of the company.
The maximum total number of stock options is 450,000. The stock options entitle to subscribe a total maximum of 450,000 shares. Each stock option entitles to subscribe for one (1) new share.

From the share subscription price shall be deducted the amount of the dividend and funds distributed through a distribution of funds from the distributable equity fund decided after the start of the period for determination of the share subscription price and before share subscription.
The share subscription price shall, however, always be at least EUR 0.01.
The share subscription period will be for stock options 2021A from May 2, 2024 to May 31, 2026, for stock options 2021B from May 2, 2025 to May 31, 2027 and for stock options 2021C from May 2, 2026 to May 31, 2028.

The maximum number of shares which may be subscribed with stock options, 450,000 shares, is on the date of this release approximately 6.4 per cent of the company's shares after share subscriptions based on this option program and the company’s other option programs, if new shares are issued to the subscribers.
