Each warrant gives the holder the right but not the obligation, to subscribe for one share in the Company of a nominal value of DKK 0.1 at NOK 36.50. NOK 33.90, NOK 10.60, NOK 19.50 and NOK 76.25 per share respectively.

The Company has now received exercise notices from warrant holders (employees in the subsidiaries Asetek Danmark A/S and Xiamen Asetek Computer Industry Co., Ltd.) aggregating 31,045 warrants distributed as follows:

The holders of the remaining 25,761 exercised warrants will subscribe for the corresponding 25,761 shares of each nominally DKK 0.10 in the Company and the Company has received the following corresponding subscription price:

Consequently, the share capital increase resulting from the exercise of the warrants (from nominally DKK 2,552,189.70 by nominally DKK 2,576.10 to nominally DKK 2,554,765.80) will now be registered and the newly issued shares will be divided between the warrant holders having issued an exercise notice in accordance with the above.
