An announcement from NEL ASA ( (NLLSF) ) is now available.

Nel ASA has overhauled its executive long-term incentive structure following approval at its annual general meeting, replacing a share option scheme with a performance share unit program that incorporates explicit performance criteria, three-year vesting and strict award caps. The move is intended to align executive pay more closely with shareholder interests and prevailing market practice, while keeping incentives tied to responsible, long-term value creation in the hydrogen technology sector.

Under the new framework, executives have cancelled all existing vested and unvested options in exchange for two transitional PSU tranches vesting after one and two years, alongside regular grants that vest after three years, with annual PSU allocations capped at 50% of base salary for the CEO and 30% for other executives. A total of 14,933,025 PSUs have been issued to primary insiders, including CEO Håkon Volldal and other senior managers, with final payouts subject to preset performance targets and continued employment, signalling a tighter governance approach to remuneration that could reassure investors focused on discipline and alignment in growth-stage clean energy companies.

The most recent analyst rating on (NLLSF) stock is a Hold with a NOK2.30 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on NEL ASA stock, see the NLLSF Stock Forecast page.
