ITERA: Share and option programmes

31 Mar 2023 09:41 CEST

The board of Itera ASA has on 20 March 2023 approved the issuance a share
purchase and option programme as long-term incentives for key employees in the
company, in addition to a general employee share purchase programme, pursuant to
a mandate given by the general meeting on May 24, 2022. Transaction date is 30
March 2023.

The extended share purchase program for has restriction on sales for a period of
3 years. The restriction period is considered to be a value-reducing element
equivalent to a European put option. If the employee terminates his/her
employment with the company before the end of the restriction period, the
company has an option to repurchase the shares at a value corresponding to the
then current market price minus the original NOK value of the value-reducing
restriction period. The subscription price of NOK 9.63 per share is set at the
volume weighted average for the last ten trading days (10-23 March 2023) before
the subscription period of NOK 12.59 per share, less the discount value of the
restriction period, which is calculated at NOK 2.96 per share. A total of 31
employees subscribed to a total of 469,768 shares.

The general employee share purchase programme has a similar structure and price,
with the exception of no repurchase option by the Company in the event the
employee resigns during the restriction period. A total of 85 employees
subscribed for 177,941 shares.

A new share option programme of 305,000 options and a vesting period of up to
four years was issued.

The exercise price for the options is NOK 12.59, which is equal to the average
volume-weighted transaction price on the Oslo Stock Exchange for the period
10-23 March 2023. The exercise price is not adjusted for any dividend payments
in the vesting period.

The options can be exercised at the following times:

- with up to 1/3 of the options during the period 16.03.2026-30.03.2026
- remaining options during the period 16.03.2027-30.03.2027

Options that are not exercised within the first exercise period are rolled
forward to the next exercise period. The exercising of options is contingent on
the employee not having terminated his/her employment at the time of exercise.
