Bulletin from the Extraordinary General Meeting in Oncopeptides AB (publ)
STOCKHOLM, Dec. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Oncopeptides AB (Nasdaq Stockholm, ONCO), announces that an Extraordinary General Meeting was held today. Due to the extraordinary situation as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the extraordinary general meeting was carried out through postal voting, without any physical attendance. At the Extraordinary General Meeting, the following principal resolutions were passed.
-- It was resolved, in accordance with the Board of Directors' proposal, to
introduce a long term performance based incentive program for the
Company's employees in the US ("US Co-worker LTIP 2020"). The program is
intended for employees in Oncopeptides in the US hired or to be hired
within the buildup of the US operation during 2019 and earlier, 2020 and
2021. US Co-worker LTIP 2020 is a program under which the participants
will be granted, free of charge, share awards subject to performance
vesting ("Share Awards") that entitle to shares in Oncopeptides, however
not more than 1,076,415 shares. The Share Awards are subject to
performance vesting based on the development of the Oncopeptides share
price from and including the grant date up to and including the third
anniversary of the grant date. In the event the price of Oncopeptides'
share has thereby increased by more than 60 per cent, 100 per cent of
the Share Awards shall vest, and should the share price have increased
by 20 per cent, 33 per cent of such Share Awards shall vest. In the
event of an increase of the share price of between 20 and 60 per cent,
vesting of the Share Awards will occur linearly. Should the increase of
the share price be less than 20 per cent, no vesting will occur. Each
vested Share Award entitles the holder to receive one share in
Oncopeptides without any compensation being payable provided that the
holder is still an employee of Oncopeptides at the relevant time of
vesting. With some customary exceptions, vesting can occur even if the
participant is no longer employed by Oncopeptides at the Vesting Date.
It was further resolved, in accordance with the Board of Directors'
proposal, to issue not more than 1,076,415 warrants in order to ensure
delivery of shares under US Co-worker LTIP 2020 and in accordance with
the Board of Directors' proposal regarding use of warrants issued in the
Company's other incentive programs.
