Stock option redemption in Opus Group AB

Opus Group AB has completed the redemption of the stock option program 2013:1. A total of 1,606,287 new shares were subscribed. 411,320 new shares were subscribed through exercise and the rest through a procedure where Opus Group repurchased stock options from the employees and where the proceeds were used to subscribe for new shares. Total number of outstanding shares after the stock option redemption amounts to 290,318,246.

Opus Group AB received approximately SEK 850 thousand net in connection with the redemption of the stock option program adjusted for costs related to repurchase of stock options. The recalculated exercise price amounted to SEK 5.66 per share. The dilution effect was 0.55 percent compared to 2.00 percent if all the stock options had been fully exercised. The procedure of the repurchase of the stock options thereby resulted in less dilution for Opus Group’s shareholders. The stock options that were repurchased by the company and those that were not exercised have expired and will not result in any dilution. 

“It is encouraging that such a large portion of our staff have participated in our stock option program and become shareholders in Opus Group. Our employees have thereby participated in Opus’ value growth during the period and can now also be part of our future growth journey. I am proud of our employees who have worked hard in recent years to take our company to where we are today”, says Magnus Greko, CEO and President of Opus Group.
