Relais Group Plc
Stock Exchange Release 12 May 2026 at 6:50 p.m. EEST
The Board of Directors of Relais Group Plc has resolved to launch two new stock option plans 2026A and 2026B for key employees. The company has a weighty financial reason for the issue of stock options, since the stock options are intended to form part of the Group's incentive and commitment program for the key employees. The purpose of the stock options is to encourage the key employees to work on a long-term basis in order to increase shareholder value. In addition, the stock options aim to commit the key employees to the company.
The maximum number of stock options to be issued is 250,000 under the stock option plan 2026A and 200,000 under the stock option plan 2026B, totalling a maximum of 450,000 stock options. The stock options of the stock option plan 2026A entitle their owners to subscribe for a maximum total of 250,000 new shares in the company or existing shares held by the company. The stock options of the stock option plan 2026B entitle their owners to subscribe for a maximum total of 200,000 new shares in the company, and they are issued to the Group's Swedish key employees. The stock options are issued gratuitously.
The number of shares subscribed by exercising stock options issued corresponds to a maximum total of 2.38 per cent of all shares and votes in the company after the potential share subscriptions if new shares are issued in the subscription. After the share subscriptions with stock options, the number of the company's shares may be increased by a maximum total of 450,000 shares if new shares are issued in the subscription.
The share subscription price for stock options 2026A and 2026B is EUR 16.15, which equals the trade volume weighted average quotation of the Share on Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd during a 30 trading days period, 25 March - 8 May 2026 adjusted by a dividend of EUR 0.15 with the record date of 16 April 2026, and added with a premium of 15%. The share subscription price will increase if the value of the share at the share subscription has increased more than 300 per cent compared to the volume weighted average quotation of the share on Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd 25 March 2026 to 8 May 2026 adjusted by a dividend of EUR 0.15.
The share subscription price will be credited to the company's reserve for invested unrestricted equity. The dividends paid per share and repayments of capital before the share subscription by options will be deducted from the subscription price.
The share subscription period for stock options 2026A and 2026B is from 1 April 2029 to 31 March 2030.
The theoretical market value of one stock option 2026A and 2026B is approximately EUR 3.646, so the theoretical market value of the stock options is approximately EUR 1,641,000 in total. The theoretical market value of a stock option has been calculated by using Monte Carlo simulation taking into account the subscription price of the stock option and the following input factors: share price EUR 14.55 , risk-free interest rate 2.76%, validity of stock options approximately 3.9 years, volatility approximately 34% and the share subscription price mechanism limiting the value increase of option.
The Board of Directors resolved on the new stock option plans by virtue of an authorisation granted by the Annual General Meeting on 14 April 2026. The target group of the stock option plan consists of approximately 10 key employees, including the CEO and the members of the Management Team.
