Orphazyme A/S Company announcement No. 38/2020 Company Registration No. 32266355
Copenhagen, Denmark, July 1, 2020 Orphazyme A/S (ORPHA.CO) (the Company), a biopharmaceutical company pioneering the Heat-Shock Protein response for the treatment of neurodegenerative orphan diseases, today announced that the Company has introduced a new share-based incentive program (the LTIP) for 2020. The LTIP has been implemented in accordance with Orphazymes Remuneration Policy adopted at Orphazymes annual general meeting on March 26, 2020.
Under the LTIP for 2020, the Executive Management as well as certain key employees of Orphazyme in Denmark, the United States, and Switzerland have subscribed for or acquired or will subscribe for or acquire a number of shares (Investment Shares). The Board of Directors may decide to offer other current or new employees of Orphazyme to participate in the LTIP. The LTIP for 2020 includes an extraordinary grant to certain participants to compensate for not having been granted share-based incentives in 2018 and 2019.
The participants may be allocated a number of shares in Orphazyme (Performance Shares) at a price per Performance Share of DKK 1 at the end of a vesting period of up to four (4) years calculated from January 1, 2020 (the Performance Shares Holding Period). The number of Performance Shares shall be proportional to a potential increase in the price of Orphazymes shares at the time of vesting compared to the price at January 1, 2020. The potential increase in the price of Orphazymes shares will be calculated as the volume-weighted average share price as quoted on Nasdaq Copenhagen during the 10 trading days preceding the date of expiry of the Performance Shares Holding Period and January 1, 2020, respectively. Performance Shares will be allocated on a linear scale with maximum allocation triggered by an 80% increase in share price, whereas no Performance Shares will be allocated, if the price of Orphazymes shares has increased 20% or less at the date of expiry of the Performance Shares Holding Period. Among other things, vesting is also subject to the participants having maintained ownership of their Investment Shares and continued employment at the time of vesting.
Based on the current number of Investment Shares held by participants, up to approximately 537,000 Performance Shares, which include Performance Shares granted under the aforementioned extraordinary compensation grant, may be allocated at the time of vesting.
Further, the participants may also be allocated a number of shares in Orphazyme (Matching Shares) at a price per Matching Share of DKK 1 after a period of up to one (1) year calculated from January 1, 2020. The number of Matching Shares will be equal to the number of Investment Shares held by the participant and vesting will be subject to the participants having maintained ownership of their Investment Shares and continued employment at the time of vesting.
Based on the current number of Investment Shares held by participants, up to approximately 142,000 Matching Shares, which include Matching Shares granted under the aforementioned extraordinary compensation grant, may be allocated at the time of vesting.
The theoretical market value of the LTIP has been estimated at approximately DKK 42.8 million based on a Monte Carlo simulation with a four-year volatility estimate of 55.9% and an expected dividend yield of 0%. This implies an expected number of Performance Shares to be allocated of approximately 130.000.
