Reference is made to prior stock exchange notices regarding the Employee Share
Savings Program.
Under the terms of the Program, participating employees may allocate a fixed
amount of their monthly after-tax salary to purchase shares in Atea ASA (up to a
maximum per month of NOK 1,000 in Norway, SEK 1,000 in Sweden, DKK 700 in
Denmark and EUR 100 per month in Finland and the Baltic countries). Shares are
purchased by employees from Atea ASA's treasury share holdings at market price.
The price of the shares purchased is determined based on the volume-weighted
average price of the ATEA share on the day preceding the share transfer.
As an additional incentive, participating employees will receive one "bonus"
share for each two ordinary shares purchased under the Program after a vesting
period in which the specified ordinary shares must be held. The vesting period
is three years for executive management and two years for all other employees.
The participant must also remain employed by Atea during the vesting period in
order to receive the bonus share. The unvested "bonus" share is treated as a
restricted stock unit (RSU) under IFRS 2 Share-Based Payment.
On 10 November 2026, Atea ASA transferred 76,381 treasury shares to employees
based on the following transactions in the Employee Share Savings program. After
