Allocation under Long-Term Incentive Programme LTIP 2026
At the Annual General Meeting of Railcare Group AB ("Railcare" or “the Company") held on 7 May 2026, it was resolved to establish a long-term incentive programme, LTIP 2026, for employees of the Railcare Group. LTIP 2026 gives participants the opportunity to acquire shares in a directed share issue at market value, together with rights to receive shares free of charge in the form of Matching Share Rights and Performance Share Rights. The Board of Directors of Railcare has now resolved on the allocation of shares in the directed share issue and the warrants issued to ensure the future delivery of shares under the programme.
LTIP 2026
The subscription price for the shares in the directed share issue has, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the programme, been determined at SEK 33.28 per share, corresponding to the volume-weighted average price of the Railcare share during the five trading days preceding the commencement of the subscription period. A total of 80 participants have been allocated an aggregate of 308,395 shares in Railcare. The directed share issue will provide the Company with proceeds of approximately SEK 10.3 million.
There was a great deal of interest in and participation in the programme, and several of the participants oversubscribed. In addition to the allocation guaranteed to each participant within the relevant tranche, 46 participants applied for additional shares (overallotment). For each allocated share, the participant will receive one (1) employee stock option consisting of one (1) Matching Share Right and one (1) Performance Share Right. Accordingly, a total of 308,395 employee stock options will be granted.
Hedging arrangements and share rights
To secure the delivery of shares upon the future exercise of the Share Rights, the Company has, in accordance with the resolution of the Annual General Meeting, issued warrants of series 2026/2029 to the Company itself, with the right and obligation to transfer them to the participants within the framework of LTIP 2026. Each Matching Share Right entitles the holder to subscribe for one (1) new share, and each Performance Share Right entitles the holder to subscribe for 1.2 new shares (rounded down), provided that applicable conditions and performance targets are satisfied during the vesting period. The vesting period runs from 1 June 2026 until 31 December 2029, and the Share Rights may be exercised during the period following the publication of the Company's year-end report for 2029. Subject to full vesting, the Share Rights may entitle the holders to subscribe for a maximum of 678,469 new shares.
