Hamilton, Bermuda, April 4, 2025
The Board of Himalaya Shipping Ltd. (“Himalaya” or the “Company”) adopted the framework for a long-term incentive plan for the Company’s directors and other key human resources (the “LTIP”) in September 2021. On April 3, 2025, the Board approved to increase the reserve of the Company's authorised but unissued share capital by 450,000, which is to be used as settlement upon exercise of the share options granted under the LTIP. Under this amendment, the maximum aggregate number of common shares that may be delivered pursuant to any and all awards under the LTIP was increased from 800,000 to 1,250,000, subject to adjustment due to recapitalization or reorganization as provided under the LTIP. The LTIP provides for the grant of share options and other awards as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion.
In addition, the Board has now resolved to grant in total 200,000 share options to key management resources of the Company under the LTIP. Each share option gives the holder the right to purchase one share in the Company at an exercise price of US$7.50. The share options will cliff vest three years from the grant date and expire 5 years from the grant date.
Following the grant, the total number of available share options under the LTIP are 250,000 and the total number of outstanding share options in the Company is 1,000,000.
The following primary insiders were granted share options:
