Number of options exercised
The Board of Directors of Mowi awarded 0.9 million options under its senior executive share option scheme with effect from 2017 to the current participants in the option scheme. The option scheme forms an important part of Mowi’s long-term remuneration policy for such senior executives.

Accordingly, the number of options has been adjusted to 764,101 options to comply with these provisions.
On 22 June 2021, participants in Mowi's senior executive share option scheme exercised 764,101 options in Mowi, corresponding to 764,101 shares at a strike price of NOK 136.51 per share.
On the same date Mowi purchased 764,101 own shares at a price of NOK 233.83 per share to settle its obligation to deliver the shares. The shares were purchased in accordance with the authorisation granted at the annual general meeting on 9 June 2021. Following these transactions Mowi still holds zero treasury shares.
