Bioretec Ltd Adjusts Stock Option Terms
On June 27, 2025, Bioretec Ltd, a Finnish medical device company, released an announcement detailing changes to its stock option programs due to the completion of a rights issue. This move aims to uphold fairness for holders of stock options following the subscription of 6,156,618 new shares by investors.
Rights Issue Completion
The rights issue, known as the "Offering," was successfully concluded, with new shares registered under the Finnish Patent and Registration Office on June 26, 2025. This strategic financial maneuver is a response to the need for Bioretec to enhance equity and maintain trust among its investors by ensuring equal treatment between shareholders and option holders.
Adjustments to Stock Options
To achieve fairness, the Board of Directors at Bioretec has determined that adjustments to the stock option terms are necessary. Under current conditions, if the company issues additional shares before option holders subscribe, those holding options must be treated comparably to existing shareholders. This process includes adjusting the subscription prices of new shares under the existing option programs.
The revised subscription prices for the programs are as follows:
Stock Option Program | Prior Subscription Price (EUR) | New Subscription Price (EUR) |
---|
----- | -------- | -------- |
2018-1A | 1.50 | 1.42 |
2018-1B | 1.50 | 1.42 |
2018-1C | 2.25 | 2.13 |
2018-1D | 2.25 | 2.13 |
2020-1A | 2.25 | 2.13 |
2020-1B | 3.00 | 2.84 |
2020-1C | 3.75 | 3.55 |
2023-1 | 2.48 | 2.35 |
2025-1 | 2.79 | 2.64 |
2025-2 | 2.79 | 2.64 |
