The Annual General Meeting resolved, in accordance with the Board of Directors’ proposal, to introduce a long-term performance share program (LTIP 2024) aimed at certain key employees.

The intention is also to use LTIP 2024 to unite the interest of the employees with the interests of shareholders.

The proposal was divided into four items:

A. Terms of LTIP 2024
B. Transfer of own shares under LTIP 2024 and hedging activities
C. Hedging of LTIP 2024 via an equity swap agreement with a third party
D. Other matters related to LTIP 2024

The Annual General Meeting approved the terms of LTIP 2024, in accordance with item A above, as well as transfer of own shares under LTIP 2024 and hedging activities in accordance with item B above.

LTIP 2024 will be directed towards certain key employees in the Mycronic Group. Each participant may be entitled, after a certain qualification period (defined below), provided continued employment during the entire period, and depending on the fulfilment of certain performance targets linked to Mycronic’s earnings per share (“EPS”) and CO2 equivalents emission level (“CO2e”), to receive allotment of Mycronic shares (”Performance Shares”). The participant shall not pay any consideration for the allotted Performance Shares. Performance Shares are Mycronic ordinary shares.

LTIP 2024 is directed towards a maximum of eighty-five (85) employees, who are divided into four (4) categories of participants: the CEO (a maximum of one (1) person), hereinafter referred to as “Category A”, members of the executive management (a maximum of nine (9) persons), hereinafter referred to as “Category B”, members of the executive management based in the United States (a maximum of one (1) person), hereinafter referred to as “Category C”, and Other Employees (a maximum of seventy-four (74) persons), hereinafter referred to as “Category D”.

The maximum number of Performance Shares per participant (“MPS”) shall be based on maximum performance values for each category of participants. The maximum performance value for participants in Category A will be seventy (70) percent of the participants annual base salary for 2024, for participants in Category B, fifty (50) percent of the participants annual base salary for 2024, for participants in Category C, seventy (70) percent of the participants annual base salary for 2024, and for participants in Category D, twenty (20) percent of the participants annual base salary for 2024.

The performance value determined in accordance with the above shall be converted into a maximum number of Performance Shares per participant (MPS), by dividing the performance value per participant with the volume-weighted average price according to Nasdaq Stockholm’s official price list for the share during twenty (20) trading days following the publication of the fourth quarterly report for the last quarter of 2023. Notwithstanding the above, the MPS cannot be less than seven hundred (700) Performance Shares.

Allotment of Performance Shares within LTIP 2024 will be made during a limited period of time following the Annual General Meeting 2027. The period up to this date is referred to as the qualification period (vesting period).

Seventy-five (75) percent of the MPS shall be linked to the fulfillment of the performance target regarding EPS and twenty-five (25) percent of the MPS shall be linked to the fulfillment of the performance target regarding CO2e. No allotment of Performance Shares linked to a certain performance target will take place below the threshold level for such performance target. Full allotment of Performance Shares linked to a certain performance target will take place at or above the stretch level of such performance target. Partial fulfilment of a certain performance target will result in partial allotment of Performance Shares.

The intention is to launch LTIP 2024 as soon as practically possible after the Annual General Meeting 2024. The term of LTIP 2024 is more than three years. LTIP 2024 will comprise a maximum of 138,826 shares in total, which corresponds to 0.14 percent of the total outstanding shares and votes in the company on a fully diluted basis.
