Grant of share-based long-term incentive instruments to members of the Board of Management and key employees
ALK (ALKB:DC / OMX: ALK B / AKBLF): According to the company’s remuneration policy adopted at the company's Annual General Meeting on 14 March 2024 and in line with the company’s usual practice, the Board of Directors has passed a resolution to grant up to a total of 250,000 share-based instruments for the purpose of the company’s long-term incentive plan (LTIP) for the Board of Management and key employees for 2025.
The objectives of the LTIP are to incentivise and reward long-term value creation and to align the interests of the Board of Management and key employees with shareholders' interest by fulfilling the company’s strategic goals. The grant of share-based instruments under the LTIP is based on principles supporting the long-term strategy of ALK in accordance with the company’s remuneration policy.
The share-based instruments covered by the LTIP are share options and performance shares.
The share options are subject to the fulfilment of financial and/or non-financial key indicator(s) with a defined threshold, below which there would be no payout, and with the opportunity to perform above target. As in previous years, in case of performance above target, a defined multiplier is used that can increase the payout by up to 100%.
The share options can be exercised during a four-year period after vesting (commencing in 2028) during the trading windows following the release of annual and interim reports. If the share option holders have not exercised their options within the period specified, the share options will lapse without any compensation to the holders.
The exercise price of the share options has been set at DKK 140 each, corresponding to an average of the closing prices of the company’s shares on Nasdaq Copenhagen during the period 25 to
31 March 2025 (both days included). The exercise price of the share options will be adjusted by dividends if dividends deviate from DKK 0 per share.
For performance shares issued under the LTIP, the final transfer of ownership of such instruments takes place three years after the grant (2028) and is subject to the fulfilment of financial and/or non-financial key indicator(s) with a threshold below which there will be no payout, and with the opportunity to perform above target. In case of performance above target, a defined multiplier is used that can increase the payout by up to 100%.
The market value of the LTIP for 2025 amounts to approximately DKK 26 million. The market value of the LTIP has been calculated on the basis of an appropriate average of the closing prices of the company's shares on Nasdaq Copenhagen during relevant periods prior to the grant date in respect of the performance shares. In terms of share options comprised by the LTIP, the market value calculation has been conducted by applying the Black & Scholes model for valuation of options based on an assumed exercise price of DKK 140, an annual dividend distribution of DKK 0 per share, a volatility rate of 40% p.a. and a risk-free interest rate of 2.13% p.a.
Under the international financial reporting standards (IFRS), the incentive plan will be recognised in the income statement in the respective functional areas over the vesting period.
The grant of share-based instruments under the LTIP does not change the company’s financial forecast.
No share-based instruments have been granted to members of the Board of Directors.
