Remedy Entertainment Plc’s Board of Directors decided on a new option plan 2022
The Board of Directors of Remedy Entertainment Plc has, by virtue of the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting held on April 13, 2022, decided to adopt an option plan “Option Plan 2022” directed to the key persons as decided separately by the Board of Directors. There is a weighty financial reason to issue the option rights as the option plan is a part of the company’s incentive and commitment scheme for key persons.
The maximum total number of option rights issued is 350,000, entitling their holders to subscribe for a maximum of 350,000 new shares of the company or existing shares held by the company. The option rights will be granted without payment. The Board of Directors may allocate option rights until the beginning of the share subscription period. The share subscription period will begin on June 1, 2025, and end on May 31, 2028.
The subscription price for a share subscribed for with one option right is EUR 26.64, which is the trade volume weighted average price of the Company’s share on the official list of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd during June 1 – August 31, 2022, with an addition of 10 percent.
The number of company’s shares may increase at maximum by 350,000 shares as a result of the share subscriptions with the option rights, equaling to 2.63 percent of all shares and votes in the company after the possible share subscription, if only new shares are issued in the subscription. In addition, the company has previously issued 302,500 option rights under the Option Plan 2018, 371,000 option rights under the Option Plan 2019, a maximum of 400,000 option rights under the Option Plan 2020 and a maximum of 350,000 option rights under the Option Plan 2021.
The theoretical market value of one option under the new plan is approximately EUR 6.54, whereas the theoretical market value of all options under the Option Plan 2022 is approximately EUR 2,287,917. The theoretical market value of one option has been calculated based on the closing price on September 19, 2022, and by applying the Black-Scholes model used for pricing options with the following criteria: share price EUR 19.88, strike price EUR 26.64, risk-free interest rate 0 %, validity period of the option rights 5.7 years, and volatility 46%.
