Bioretec Ltd Modifies Shareholder Terms
Bioretec Ltd, a pioneer in biodegradable orthopedic implants, announced significant adjustments to its stock option programs on June 27, 2025. This decision comes after the company successfully completed a rights issue, where a total of 6,156,618 new shares were subscribed for. These new shares have officially been registered by the Finnish Patent and Registration Office, marking a pivotal moment for the company.
In accordance with the existing terms of the company’s stock option programs, the Board of Directors has resolved to adjust the subscription prices of new shares offered under these programs. The adjustments are meant to maintain fairness among all stakeholders, guaranteeing that holders of option rights are treated equally with other shareholders.
Purpose of Adjustments
The rationale behind these adjustments lies in the company's commitment to uphold equal treatment among its investors. With the recent share issuance potentially diluting existing holdings, it was crucial to modify the terms to reflect the new market conditions. By reducing the subscription prices of the various stock option programs, Bioretec ensures that option holders retain their proportional value relative to the increased number of shares.
New Subscription Prices
The new subscription prices for the various stock option programs are indicative of the ongoing strategic realignment at Bioretec:
- - 2018-1A, 2018-1B: Decreased from €1.50 to €1.42
- - 2018-1C, 2018-1D, 2020-1A: Reduced from €2.25 to €2.13
- - 2020-1B: Dropped from €3.00 to €2.84

These changes illustrate Bioretec's proactive stance in protecting the interests of their stakeholders while adapting to evolving market dynamics.
