Number of options exercised
The Board of Directors of Mowi awarded 0.925 million options under its senior executive share option scheme with effect from 2018 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. The number of options shall be adjusted for dividend payments and reduced if the profit through exercise of options in a year exceeds two times the fixed annual salary of the option holder. Accordingly, the number of options has been adjusted to 994,692 options to comply with these provisions.
