Provided that the performance share rights have been allotted and vested, each performance share right entitles the holder to, during the period from and including 22 November 2025 up until 15 January 2026, either acquire one share at a price corresponding to the quota value of the share or, free of charge, receive a warrant that entitles to the subscription of a share in the company at a subscription price corresponding to the quota value of the share.
