Bergen, Norway, 26 June 2024 - BerGenBio ASA (the "Company") (OSE:BGBIO), a
clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel, selective AXL kinase
inhibitors for severe unmet medical needs, today announce that the Board of
Directors has granted options to employees.

The annual general meeting in the Company on 23 May 2024 approved the share
option program and authorised the board of directors of the Company to issue up
to 3,908,711 share options to the Company's employees as part of a long-term
incentive plan.

Options granted under the share option program will normally vest equally over a
three-year period from the date of grant and each option, when exercised, will
give the right to receive one share in the Company at a fixed strike price set
at time of grant. Options granted under the share option program expire eight
years after grant date.

A total of 1,315,000 share options were granted, equal to 3.3% of total issued
shares in the Company and 3.1% on a fully dilutive basis including all
outstanding options. The strike price for this grant is NOK 11.226 per option
equal to the volume weighted average share price the last 14 days before the
grant.

Share options granted in 2023 or earlier have been adjusted because of the
reverse share split approved by the Annual General Meeting 23 May 2024.
Accordingly, total number of options have been divided by 100 and strike price
multiplied by 100. The total number of options outstanding after the adjustment
and before today's grant are 1,149,765 of which 21,672 are vested and 1,128,093
are not vested.

Following today's grant the total issued share options equals 6.3% of the total
issued shares in the Company and 5.9% on a fully dilutive basis. Total options
outstanding after this grant are 2,464,765. Of this, 21,672 share options are
vested and 2,443,093 not vested.

Of the total grant the following were granted to primary insiders (total
holdings of share options following this grant):

Martin Olin - CEO: 350,000 (599,501)

Rune Skeie - CFO: 165,000 (288,981)

Cristina Oliva - CMO: 165,000 (287,001)

In total 680,000 share options were granted to primary insiders.

The board considers an option program as an important element in attracting and
retaining employees to foster long-term success. The board considers the option
program terms and allocation to be at the market for comparable peers.
