Reference is made to the share investment program established by SATS ASA (the
"Company") as further described in the stock exchange notice published by the
Company on 22 June 2020 (the "Share Investment Program"). In order to further
align the interests of the Company's CEO with those of the Company's
shareholders, the board of directors has resolved to expand the Share Investment
Program for Sondre Gravir. Mr. Gravir has been offered, and has accepted, to
invest an additional amount of NOK 1,750,000 by acquiring shares under the Share
Investment Program from the Company (the "Additional SIP Investment").
The exact number of shares to be acquired by Mr. Gravir depends on the offer
price per share. The offer price (before discount) for the shares shall be equal
to the volume-weighted average share price for the Company's shares on the Oslo
Stock Exchange during the 10 trading days from and including 23 September 2020
with a 20% discount. The Company will make a separate announcement regarding the
offer price and the exact number of shares to be acquired by Mr. Gravir, and his
shareholding following the acquisition, once the offer price has been set.
The Additional SIP Investment is subject to the same terms and conditions as the
other shares acquired by Mr. Gravir under the Share Investment Program,
including Matching Shares in the ratio of 0.33:1 based on the number of shares
acquired under the Additional SIP, subject to certain conditions being
fulfilled, and a lock-up period of three years from delivery of the shares
acquired.
The Additional SIP investment by Mr. Gravir is subject to approval by the
Company's general meeting as it represents a deviation from the current
guidelines on share-based remuneration for the Company's executive management.
Consequently, the Additional SIP Investment will be placed on the agenda for the
Company's annual general meeting in 2021 and if the general meeting does not
approve the Additional SIP Investment, Mr. Gravir shall be obliged to sell the
purchased shares back to the Company at the lower of (a) their cost price and
(b) the price per share equal to the volume-weighted average share price for the
Company's shares on the Oslo Stock Exchange during the 10 trading days before
the annual general meeting in 2021 with a 20% discount.
