To strengthen Columbus IT Partner A/S's results and value creation for the company's share­holders, and to attract, retain and motivate senior executives, the Board of Directors has decided to grant a share warrant scheme to a number of senior executives.

 

The exercise price is based on the average quoted share price in the 14 trading days prior to the grant date.

 

The share warrant scheme is contingent on employment in the company in the below-mentioned periods. 

 

The share warrant scheme will not be adjusted in the event of changes in capital.

 

Share warrants based on employment:
