LeadDesk Plc has resolved on a stock option programme
The Board of Directors of LeadDesk Plc (“LeadDesk” or the “Company”) has, based on the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting, resolved on 25 March 2026 on a new stock option programme directed to key personnel of the LeadDesk Group, under the identifier 2026. The maximum total number of stock options to be granted is 150,000 stock options and they entitle their holders to subscribe for the maximum of 150,000 new shares or treasury shares of the Company in total. The subscription period for shares under the 2026 stock options is from 1 May 2029 to 31 December 2031.
The resolutions are based on the authorization granted by the Company’s shareholders on 25 March 2025 to issue stock options. Pursuant to the resolution of the General Meeting, up to 7,500 of the 2026 stock options may be offered to the members of the Board of Directors. Each stock option entitles its holder to subscribe for one (1) new or treasury share in the Company. The subscription price for shares subscribed with the 2026 stock options is EUR 4.64 per share. The subscription price of the shares will be recorded to the Company’s reserve for invested unrestricted equity. Dividends and returns of capital per share will be deducted from the subscription price.
As a result of share subscriptions based on the 2026 stock options, the number of shares in the Company may increase by a maximum of 150,000 shares if new shares are issued in connection with the subscriptions. The shares to be subscribed for under the stock options issued correspond, as of the date of this release, to a maximum of 2.51 percent of all shares and votes in the Company after any potential share subscription, assuming that all stock options are exercised and that new shares are issued in connection with the subscriptions.
There is a weighty financial reason for the Company to grant the 2026 stock options, as they are intended to form part of the incentive and commitment programme for key personnel. Stock options are issued to the key personnel to enhance their long-term motivation to increase shareholder value. In addition, stock options are issued to strengthen the key personnel’s commitment to the employer.
The stock options are granted free of charge. Subject to certain exceptions, if the employment or service relationship of a holder of stock options with the Company ends, the holder shall, without delay, forfeit to the Company or its nominee, without consideration, the stock options allocated to them, if the subscription period for shares had not commenced prior to the termination of such employment or service relationship.
The terms and conditions of the 2026 stock options are available on the Company’s website.
