Further activities to shift Minesto staff to new incentive plans

The Board of Directors of Minesto AB has decided to offer 1,965,000 warrants to Minesto’s staff within the framework of the warrant plan PO5 approved in this year’s AGM. At the same time, Minesto’s financial advisor Pareto has facilitated the exercise of outgoing warrants of series PO3 by which a total of 624,880 new shares have been subscribed for in Minesto AB.

PO5 is the second of three future warrant plans approved in Minesto’s Annual General Meeting in 2019. Minesto’s Board of Directors have decided to offer all staff a total of 1,965,000 PO5 warrants to continue to incentivise Minesto management and staff to build shareholder value in the company.

A total of 600,000 of the PO5 warrants will be offered to and acquired by Minesto’s senior executives. The price per warrant and the subscription price will be determined by the volume-weighted average share price 15 days before the warrants are transferred to Minesto staff, which is expected in October 2019.

One (1) warrant of series PO5 entitles the holder to subscribe for one (1) new share in Minesto AB during the period 1 July to 30 September 2021. A fully exercised PO5 plan would result in a dilution of approximately 1.7 percent.

Subscription of shares linked to outgoing warrant plan PO3

In addition, as part of the processes of moving senior executives and employees in Minesto to the new warrant plans, the company’s financial advisor Pareto has facilitated the exercise of a total of 624,880 outgoing PO3 warrants by which Minesto has received approximately SEK 4.2 million in proceeds.

One (1) warrant of series PO3 entitles the holder to subscribe for 1.07 new shares in Minesto AB during the period 1 July to 30 September 2019 at a price of SEK 6.70 per share.  

The final outcome of the PO3 warrant plan will be announced after the subscription period has ended 30 September 2019.
