Borregaard Expands Executive Share Option Programme to Deepen Equity Alignment

Borregaard ASA ( (GB:0QB7) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Borregaard ASA has implemented a new share option programme, issuing 393,000 options to key employees under a mandate from the 2025 Annual General Meeting, with a five-year term and an exercise window in the final two years. The strike price is set at NOK 193.27, based on the volume-weighted average price after the fourth-quarter 2025 results plus a 10% premium, and incorporates caps on potential gains and mandatory reinvestment of at least half of post-tax proceeds into locked company shares.

The allocation significantly increases equity-based incentives for executive management and other insiders, bringing the total outstanding options to 1,627,500, or about 1.63% of Borregaard’s share capital including treasury shares. By requiring substantial share ownership levels and three-year lock-up periods, the scheme is designed to align management interests with long-term shareholder value and reinforce commitment to the company’s strategic and financial performance.
