NOTE 9 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had authorized share capital of 120,000,000 ordinary shares with a nominal value of €0.01 per share, 40,000 high voting shares with a nominal value of €0.25 per share and 1,401 preferred shares with a nominal value of €300 per share with 1,424,834 ordinary shares, 40,000 high voting shares and 1,401 preferred shares issued and outstanding.
Each ordinary share confers the right on the holder to cast one vote at the general meeting, each high voting share confers the right on the holder to cast twenty-five votes at the general meeting and each preferred share confers the right on the holder to cast thirty thousand votes at the general meeting, subject to a contractually agreed between the Company and Yorkville voting blocker equal to 4.99% of the combined voting power in the share capital of Sono Group N.V.
The preferred shares are convertible at a price per share equal to 85% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares during the 10 Trading Days immediately preceding the date of the conversion notice, subject to a floor price (the “Floor Price”). Upon the conversion of each Preferred Share, the Investor shall surrender the Preferred Share being converted, plus the Investor will automatically sell and transfer to the Company for no consideration (the “Repurchase”) additional Preferred Shares such that the total number of Preferred Shares surrendered and subject to the Repurchase shall be equal to (a) the total number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion, multiplied by (b) the Effective Conversion Price, divided by (c) 30,000. The Parties acknowledge that pursuant to Section 2:98 paragraph 2, of the Dutch Civil Code, the Company cannot hold more than half of its issued nominal share capital. If, as a result of the Repurchase the Company will exceed the aforementioned threshold, the Parties hereby agree that such repurchase for no consideration is postponed until the Company has taken appropriate measures.
On December 23, 2024, the Company amended its articles of association to implement a reverse share split (the “Reverse Share Split”) of both its ordinary shares and high voting shares at a ratio of 1-for-75. The Reverse Share Split had been previously approved by the Company’s shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting held on January 31, 2024 (the “January 2024 EGM”). The Reverse Share Split took market effect on January 6, 2025, following confirmation from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) that it had received and reviewed all necessary documentation to process the Reverse Share Split.
In connection with the Reverse Share Split, every 75 ordinary shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Share Split were converted into one ordinary share, and every 75 high voting shares were converted into one high voting share. Fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Share Split were rounded down to the nearest whole number, with no cash or other compensation paid in lieu of fractional shares. All share and per-share data have been retroactively adjusted throughout this report to account for this share split. In connection with the reverse share split, the Company also decreased the nominal value per share from €0.06 to €0.02 for Ordinary Shares and from €1.50 to €0.5 for High Voting Shares.
On December 30, 2024, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with YA II PN, Ltd. (“Yorkville”) (as subsequently amended), pursuant to which Yorkville agreed to exchange all outstanding debentures it held for preferred shares of the Company, subject to closing conditions, including among others the Company’s receipt of notice that its ordinary shares met all requirements for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
On August 13, 2025, shareholders approved amendments to the Company’s Articles of Association that, among other things, create the preferred share class and adjust the Company’s authorized share capital, with such amendments to become effective on the Closing Date of the Exchange Agreement. These amendments included, among others, the following changes in the authorized capital: from 4,300,000 Ordinary Shares, with a nominal value of €0.02 each, to 120,000,000 Ordinary Shares, with a nominal value of €0.01 each, from 53,400 High Voting Shares, with a nominal value of €0.50 each, to 40,000 High Voting Shares, with a nominal value of €0.25 each, from Preferred Shares to 1,401 Preferred Shares, with a nominal value of €300 each. Following receipt of Nasdaq approval on September 4, 2025 and commencement of trading on September 5, 2025 under ticker “SSM”, the conditions to closing were satisfied and the Exchange Agreement closed, resulting in the exchange of Yorkville’s outstanding debentures into preferred shares in accordance with its terms. These corporate actions followed the previously disclosed reverse share split and nominal value adjustments (ordinary shares to €0.02; high-voting shares to €0.50) and, upon the Closing Date of the Exchange Agreement, the effectiveness of the shareholder-approved amendments to the Articles of Association further decreased the nominal value per share to €0.01 for ordinary shares and €0.25 for high-voting shares.
As a result of these actions, the presentation of the Company’s ordinary shares and high voting shares in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 has been adjusted to reflect the post-split basis for comparative purposes.
Stock Options
In December 2020, against the background of our intention to terminate all relevant benefits under former employee participation programs from 2017 and 2018 (respectively, “VESP 2017” and “VESP 2018”) pursuant to which employees were granted virtual shares, we adopted our conversion stock option program under the LTIP (“CSOP”). Under the CSOP, the Company granted 41,157 fully vested stock options, each with an exercise price of €4.50 and which are not subject to any performance criteria, with effect as of the closing date of our IPO on November 19, 2021. The stock options became exercisable year after the closing of our IPO and are exercisable only in certain windows. The stock options expired on November 18, 2025, years after the closing of our IPO.
Certain former supervisory board members received one-time awards of restricted stock units for Ordinary Shares (“RSUs”) under the LTIP in connection with the Company’s IPO and such individual’s appointment as a member of the supervisory board, starting from the date of the Company’s IPO. The awards of a total of 854 RSUs were granted on November 21, 2021 and vest in four equal, annual installments on each anniversary of the grant date, with the fourth installment vesting on the earlier of (a) the fourth anniversary of the grant date or (b) the Company's annual general meeting of shareholders to be held in 2025. As of December 31, 2022 there were 213 RSUs fully vested. As of December 31, 2023 there were 266 RSUs fully vested. Due to termination of the former supervisory board members further RSUs were vested in the year 2024.
The following table summarizes stock option activity as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:
The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was EUR1,850 and EUR(1,938), respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable was EUR1,862, with a weighted average remaining contractual term of 5.83 years. |
