The Board of Orexo AB (publ) has today decided to convert 416,417 Class C shares into ordinary shares and to subsequently convey 416,417 ordinary shares to certain participants in the long-term incentive programs resolved by the Annual General Meeting 2023 ("LTIP 2023"), Annual General Meeting 2024 ("LTIP 2024") and Annual General Meeting 2025 ("LTIP 2025") in accordance with the terms of each respective program. The transfer of shares is made free of charge and due to the participants' employment within the Orexo Group having ceased as a result of the divestment of the Zubsolv business in the USA to Dexcel Pharma USA, which was announced by press release in December 2025. In light of the termination of employment having occurred as a direct result of the divestment, all affected participants have been treated as "good leavers" under the terms of LTIP 2023, LTIP 2024 and LTIP 2025.
The total number of shares in Orexo at the time of this press release is 37,156,639, of which 34,710,639 ordinary shares and 2,446,000 Class C shares. At the time of this press release, the company holds no ordinary shares and 2,446,000 Class C shares, intended for ongoing incentive programs, in treasury.
