On June 26, 2026, the Company reduced the exercise price of the outstanding warrants previously granted to warrant holders under all Warrants Plans to 1.53 EUR to reflect the decrease in the company’s share price. All other terms and conditions of the re-priced warrants remain unchanged to the original option agreement. The Company determined the fair value of the options at the date of the modification (June 26, 2026). The incremental fair value of the re-priced warrants will be recognised as an expense over the period from the modification date to the end of the vesting period. For the warrants already vested at the date of modification, the incremental fair value is fully recognised in P&L at date of modification. The expense for the original option grant will continue to be recognised as if the terms had not been modified.

The fair value of the modified warrants was determined using the same models and principles as described above, with the following model inputs:

Equity-settled share-based payment transactions – Restricted Stock Units (“RSU”)

In 2024, 2025 and 2026, each non-executive director was granted “restricted share units” or “RSUs”, whereby each RSU represents the obligation of the relevant non-executive director to subscribe for one new ordinary share of the Company at a subscription price of EUR 0.1718 per share (irrespective of the market value of the share at that time).

The RSUs will be accounted for as an equity-settled share-based payment plan as the Company can issue new shares under the authorized capital.

At June 12, 2024, the Company has granted a total of 103,642 RSUs towards 7 directors which vested at the shareholders’ meeting held in June 2025. As at June 30, 2026 all RSUs had been exercised.

At June 11, 2025, the Company has granted a total of 146,531 RSUs, with the same conditions as the 2024 RSUs, towards 7 directors which vested at the shareholders’ meeting held in June 2026. As at June 30, 2026 all RSUs had been exercised.

At June 10, 2026, the Company has granted a total of 358,267 RSUs, with the same conditions as the 2024 RSUs, towards 7 directors which will vest at the shareholders’ meeting held in June 2027. The total RSUs outstanding as at June 30, 2026 was 358,267 RSUs.

Equity-settled share-based payment expense

The Company has recognized €2.4 million share-based payment expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 (2025: €2.9 million) of which €0.9 million is related to the incremental fair value of the re-priced warrants.
