01 Mar 2023 17:52 CET

(March 1, 2023 - Oslo, Norway) Nel ASA has today resolved to grant 1 370 000
options under its revised share option plan. The strike price is 17.023, a
premium of 8% over the highest of the closing share price on March 1, 2023 and
the volume-weighted average price over the past five preceding trading days. The
vesting time is three years and the options expired after five years.

A total number of 1 370 000 share options were granted following the newly
adopted long term incentive (LTI) program. Each option, when exercised, will
give the right to acquire one share in the Company. The options are granted
without consideration. Pursuant to the vesting schedule, 100% of the options
will vest three years after the day of grant. Vesting requires the option holder
still to be an employee in the Company. The options that have not been exercised
will lapse five years after the date of the grant. The gain per option is capped
at a maximum of NOK 10 up from the strike price.
