BEWI – New long-term incentive programme and mandatory notifications

The board of directors of BEWI ASA has approved a new long-term incentive (LTI) programme for the company. The programme is established to align the interests of the participating employees with those of the company’s shareholders. This year is the first annual award under this LTI programme, which is based on a similar programme established in November 2020. The board has an authorisation from the company’s general meeting to buy back shares for the LTI programme.

The LTI programme is discretionary, and participants are invited on an annual basis. The total number of options awarded under the LTI programme for 2024 is 1 233 329. Each option gives the holder the right to acquire one BEWI share. Maximum profit gain per exercised option is NOK 50.

The strike price of the options is calculated based on the volume-weighted average share price ten (10) trading days prior to grant date, plus a premium of 10 per cent. The strike price for the options awarded on 15 November 2024 is NOK 25.57. The options will have a vesting period of three years, of which 20 per cent of the options vest on 15 November 2025, 30 per cent on 15 November 2026, and 50 per cent on 15 November 2027. The options expire after 5 years, i.e., on 15 November 2029. Exercise windows will be set by the board of directors.

Following the new awards, BEWI will have a total of 3 201 281 outstanding options, of which 1 967 952 options are related to the share option program established on 1 November 2020 with expiry 1 November 2025.
