Itera ASA has issued a share purchase and option programme as long-term incentives for key employees in the company, pursuant to a mandate given by the general meeting on May 25, 2020.
The shares have a 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 8.60 per share is set at the volume weighted average for the last 10 trading days before the subscription period, less the original NOK value of the restriction period.

In total, Itera ASA has today sold 422,818 shares at a price of NOK 8.60 to a total of 11 employees in the Group. New total holding is 1,268,776 shares.
The programme issues 805,000 options, and the vesting period of share options is up to four years.
The exercise price for the options is NOK 11.46, which is equal to the average volume-weighted transaction price on the Oslo Stock Exchange for the last 10 trading days preceding the date of the grant of these options. 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 01.06.2023-15.06.2023
- remaining options during the period 01.06.2024-15.06.2024
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.
