Nordic Nanovector ASA: Allocation of Restricted Stock Unites (RSUs) to the Board of Directors

OSLO, Norway, May 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Reference is made to the minutes from Nordic Nanovector ASA's (the "Company") (OSE: NANO) annual general meeting held on 25 April 2019 in Oslo, Norway (the "AGM").

At the AGM, the shareholders approved the issuance of restricted stock units ("RSUs") to board members who elect to receive all or parts of their remuneration, for the period from the annual general meeting in 2019 to the annual general meeting in 2020, in the form of RSUs. 

The RSUs are non-transferable and each RSU give the right and obligation to acquire one share in the Company at a price of NOK 0.20 per share (corresponding to the nominal value of the share) subject to satisfaction of the applicable vesting conditions stated in the RSU agreements.

The board members may elect to either (i) receive 100% of the compensation in RSUs, (ii) receive 1/3 of the compensation in cash and 2/3 in RSUs, or (iii) receive 2/3 of the compensation in cash and 1/3 in RSUs. The election made by each board member has been set out in the table below. The number of RSUs to be granted to the members of the Board of Directors is calculated as the NOK amount of the RSU opted portion of total compensation to the board member, divided by the market price for the Nordic Nanovector share. The market price is calculated as volume weighted average share price 10 trading days prior to the date of the AGM, i.e. NOK 45.76.

Pursuant to the RSU program, the board members have made the following election and hold the following number of RSUs and shares following such election:

1. NOK 500 000 as chairman of the Board, NOK 20 000 as a member of the audit committee and NOK 20 000 as a member of the compensation committee.

2. NOK 300 000 as board member, NOK 40 000 as chair of the compensation committee and NOK 20 000 as a member of the audit committee.

3. Per Samuelsson is not allowed to hold equity in the company due to his affiliation with HealthCap and will only receive cash.

4. NOK 300 000 as board member, NOK 40 000 as chair of the audit committee and NOK 20 000 as a member of the compensation committee.

5. NOK 300 000 as board member and NOK 20 000 as member of the clinical committee.

6. NOK 300 000 as board member, NOK 20 000 as member of the clinical committee and NOK 20 000 as member of the compensation committee.

8. NOK 300 000 as board member and NOK 20 000 as member of the clinical committee.
