QPR SOFTWARE PLC STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE SEPTEMBER

The Board of Directors of QPR Software
Plc Resolved on a New Stock Option Plan
The Board of Directors (the "Board of
Directors") of QPR Software Plc (the
"Company") has today, on September 9, 2024,
resolved to launch a new stock option plan based on the
authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting of the Company
on May 15, 2024, under which key personnel of the Company and its
subsidiaries (the “Group”) may receive stock
options (the “Stock Option(s)”) entitling to
subscribe for shares in the Company (the
“Share(s)”).
There is a weighty financial reason for the
issuance of the Stock Options as the Stock Options are intended to
form a part of the incentive and commitment program of the Group’s
key personnel. The purpose of the Stock Options is to encourage the
key personnel to work on a long-term basis to increase shareholder
value as well as to commit the key personnel to the Group as their
employer.
The total maximum number of Stock Options to be
issued is 1,800,000 and they entitle their holders to subscribe for
a total maximum number of 1,800,000 new Shares in the Company or
treasury Shares held by the Company. The Board of Directors decides
whether the Shares issued to the subscribers are new Shares or
treasury Shares held by the Company. The Stock Options are issued
free of charge.
720,000 Stock Options are marked with the code
2024 A, 540,000 are marked with the code 2024 B, and 540 000 are
marked with the code 2024 C.
The number of Shares subscribed for by
exercising the issued Stock Options corresponds to a maximum total
of approximately 9.0 per cent of all Shares and votes carried by
the Shares in the Company after the potential Share subscriptions
if new Shares are issued in the Share subscription. After the Share
subscriptions with Stock Options, the number of the Company’s
Shares may be increased by a maximum total of 1,800,000 Shares if
new Shares are issued in the Share subscription.
The Share subscription price for 2024 A Stock
Options shall be the trade volume weighted average price of the
Company’s Share on Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd, rounded to the nearest
cent, during the ten (10) trading days following the Board of
Directors’ decision regarding the 2024 Stock Options on September
9, 2024.
The Share subscription price for 2024 B Stock
Options and 2024 C Stock Options shall be the trade volume weighted
average price of the Company’s Share on Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd,
rounded to the nearest cent, during the ten (10) trading days
following the Board of Directors’ decisions on the allocation of
the 2024 B Stock Options (preliminarily planned for September 9,
2025) and the allocation of the 2024 C Stock Options (preliminarily
planned for September 9, 2026). The Company and the Board of
Directors reserve the right to decide on all matters pertaining to
the allocations of the 2024 B Stock Options and 2024 C Stock
Options, including any decisions to refrain from such allocations,
as well as to decide on the change of timing of any allocation, in
each case based on weighty reasons.
The Share subscription price of the Stock
Options may be decreased in certain specific cases described in the
terms and conditions of the Stock Options attached to this release.
The Share subscription price shall, nevertheless, always amount to
at least EUR 0.01.
The Share subscription period for the Stock
Options shall be as follows:
- for subscription of Shares based on Stock Options 2024 A
between September 9, 2027 and September 8, 2029.
- for subscription of Shares based on Stock Options 2024 B
between September 9, 2028 and September 8, 2030.
- for subscription of Shares based on Stock Options 2024 C
between September 9, 2029 and September 8, 2031.
The theoretical market value of one Stock Option
2024 A is approximately EUR 0.210, and the theoretical market value
of all Stock Options 2024 A is approximately EUR 151,200 in the
aggregate. The theoretical market value of one Stock Option 2024 A
has been calculated using the Black-Scholes stock option pricing
model by taking into account an assumption of the share
subscription price of a Stock Option 2024 A being EUR 0.562 (using
the closing share price as at September 6, 2024) and with the
following additional input factors: share price EUR 0.570, risk
free interest rate 3.75 per cent, time to maturity of stock options
approximately 3 years, and volatility approximately 34 per cent.
For Stock Options 2024 B and Stock Options 2024 C, the theoretical
market value shall be defined at the time of granting the
respective Stock Options.
The terms and conditions of the Stock Options
are attached to this release and are available on the Company’s
webpage: www.qpr.com/company/investors.
