The warrant holders earn the right to exercise warrants with 1/36 per month as from the date of grant 23 January 2013.
After having earned the right to exercise a warrant, the warrant holder may exercise the warrant in the exercise periods, see below.
The exercise periods run for 21 days, respectively as from the day following i) the Company's publication of the announcement of the annual report or - if such announcement is not published - of the annual report, and ii) the Company's publication of the interim report and iii) the interim financial report for the first 3 months and the Company's publication of its financial report for the first 9 months of the year. Warrants that are not exercised on 23 January 2020 expire automatically.
The issued warrants are estimated to have a total market value of approx. DKK 3,029,432. The market value of the issued warrants is calculated on basis of the Black-Scholes model with a volatility calculated as 0.53, an interest level of 0.28 per cent, and a share price of DKK 0.36.
