ANDRITZ AG / Other Capital Measures
ANDRITZ AG: Planned sale of treasury shares within the framework of the
2022 share option plan (SOP 2022)
Graz 8 May 2025
Under the SOP 2022, a total of 1,020,000 share options were offered to the
members of the Executive Board, senior managers, and individual junior
managers of the ANDRITZ GROUP. For around 86% of the issued share options
the exercise criteria have been fulfilled, that is 877,415 options. From
May 2025 up to and including 30 April 2029 ("Exercise Window"), all share
options issued under the SOP 2022 can be exercised by the beneficiaries on
a staggered basis. The exercise price is EUR 38.80.
To service the SOP 2022 it is now planned to sell up to 877,415 of
treasury shares, depending on the receipt of effective exercise
declarations from the beneficiaries in the respective Exercise Window and
their actual number. If the SOP beneficiary chooses the physical delivery
of shares, these shares will be sold to the SOP beneficiary concurrently
against payment of EUR 38.80 per share out of own treasury shares. If the
SOP beneficiary chooses the cash settlement alternative, the treasury
shares concerned will be sold over the stock exchange and the difference
between the average selling price of the shares and EUR 38.80 will be
transferred to the SOP beneficiary, taking into account any necessary tax
deductions.
