HELSINKI, Jan. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Board of Directors of Citycon Oyj has resolved to launch a new stock option plan directed to the Chief Executive Officer F. Scott Ball.

The number of stock options issued is 2,111,111 and they are issued gratuitously.

The number of shares subscribed by exercising stock options issued corresponds, on the date of release, to a maximum total of 1.24 per cent of all shares and votes of the shares in the company after the potential share subscriptions based on the stock options, if new shares are issued in the share subscription.
The share subscription price for shares subscribed by virtue of the stock options is EUR 7.38 per share. The share subscription price will be credited to the reserve for the company's invested unrestricted equity.

The theoretical market value of one stock option is EUR 0.436 per stock option and the total theoretical market value of all stock options 2022 is approximately EUR 920,000.
