LTI 2022 will be an important program for Vimian to attract, motivate and retain its key individuals and employees, which is important to Vimian to reach long-term value creation for the shareholders.

LTI 2022 includes not more than 115 persons who are employees, consultants, or during the subscription period enters into agreement regarding employment or assignments, within the Vimian group. The issued warrants may, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, be subscribed free of charge by Vimian Group AB (publ) after which the warrants shall be offered to the participants. The transfer of the warrants shall be made at a price corresponding to the market value of the warrants (the warrant premium) at the time of the transfer, calculated according to the Black & Scholes valuation model. The valuation of the warrants shall be made by the company in collaboration with an independent valuation firm. In connection with the transfer of warrants to the participants, the company shall reserve the right to repurchase the warrants if the participant’s employment or assignment within the group ceases or if the participant in turn wishes to transfer the warrants before the warrants can be exercised according to the terms and conditions that apply to the warrants.

A new market value shall be established in an equivalent way for acquisitions made by new participants after the expiration of the initial application period. The value has preliminary been calculated to be SEK 14.36 per warrant based on a share price of SEK 60.95.

The transfer of the warrants shall be made at a price corresponding to the market value of the warrants at the time of the transfer, which entails that no social security contributions shall arise for the group in connection with the transfer of the warrants.

Payment for the allocated warrants shall be made in cash no later than five days following the application for acquisition. The board shall establish a corresponding date of payment for acquisitions made by new participants.

Each warrant shall entitle to subscription for one (1) ordinary share in the company. Subscription for shares in accordance with the terms of the warrants is possible during the period from and including 15 June 2025 up to and including 30 June 2025.

The subscription price per ordinary share shall correspond to 116 per cent of the volume-weighted average price for the company’s share during the time period of five trading days immediately preceding the offer to subscribe for warrants, rounded to the nearest full ten cents (Sw. öre) whereby five cents shall be rounded up. However, the subscription price shall not be less than the share’s quota value. The amount of the subscription price exceeding the quota value of the shares shall be contributed to the free share premium reserve. The subscription price and number of shares in which each warrant carries an entitlement to shall be recalculated in the event of split or reversed split of shares, new issue of shares etc. in accordance with market practice.

Ordinary shares subscribed for by exercise of the warrants shall entitle to dividend for the first time on the first record date for dividend which occurs after the subscription of ordinary shares, by exercising the warrants, is executed.

Bolagsverket).

Pre-emption and termination of employment or assignment
A condition for a participant to be offered to acquire warrants, is that these persons have previously entered into a pre-emption agreement in which the participant shall be obligated to offer all warrants to the company, or in partial, if the employment or assignment is terminated or if the warrants shall be transferred or disposed to a third party.
