CEO Sarah van Hellenberg Hubar-Fisher’s comments
H1 close signals momentum
In the second quarter, our commercial momentum continued by growing net sales by 62% to EUR 1.1 million. We achieved 133% year-over-year growth in the U.S. and 63% in Europe, demonstrating consistent volume growth and representation of market demand across targeted geographies. Our revenue base continues to reflect deliberate diversification through a broader mix of customers and distribution partners across key markets, reducing concentration risk and strengthening the quality of revenue. This is also reflected as improvements in the adjusted sales margin.
Alongside our commercial progress, we maintained a strong focus on cost discipline and operational efficiency. These results continue to signal the impact of the significant strategic adjustments made in 2025 and provide the foundation for sustainable long-term growth. Commercial growth combined with disciplined execution will be key to further improving the scalability of our business.
Expansion of the RemeOs™ platform remains a priority
Our strategy for 2026–2028 prioritizes disciplined execution, capital efficiency, and continued innovation through the expansion of the RemeOs™ platform. In research and development, our focus is on progressing the near-term product pipeline and expanding our patent portfolio across all three distinct materials, addressing a broader range of clinical needs in upper and lower extremities. In early development, we continue to progress our preclinical efforts for our spine portfolio, demonstrating further breadth of indication expansion and material performance with our hybrid composite.
Whilst we secure our future position with the continued development of material expertise and experience, we must also strengthen our focus on evidence generation through reputable clinical studies and related publications that demonstrate the value of our breakthrough claims.
To support us on this path, we announced the appointment of Conan Cavanagh as Head of Research & Development, effective as of 1 September 2026. Conan will be responsible for our R&D strategy, product portfolio management, and the execution of the product development program. We are confident that his experience will support the execution of our strategy, technology development and international growth. In addition, our former CTO Timo Lehtonen will continue his contributions toward our world class materials science leadership, technology expertise and strategy as an External Executive Advisor.
Discipline and Delivery
The results from the first half of this year represent a focus on discipline to drive deliverables. Across all functions of the business, our priorities and processes remain under scrutiny, ensuring that resourcing is allocated appropriately and effectively and the spirit of execution remains in service of a high performing organization. As we build our category leadership position further, we continue to set the foundation for a commercially robust and scalable business in high-value markets with repeatable demand drivers.
To achieve this, we will invest in strengthening our market presence and visibility across key markets, driving excellence in defined measures of success per market such as repeat surgeon utilization, consistent growth targets, industry defining publications, and expansion of the RemeOs™ product line.
The first two quarters of 2026 have provided clear signals that our strategy and commercial investments are translating into measurable results. We carry this momentum and increased confidence into the rest of 2026, with a continued commitment to defining our position as a category leader and delivering on our promise of patient outcomes that represent the best in material science where Biology meets Bone.

In 2026, Bioretec will publish the following financial reports:

The Board of Directors of Bioretec ltd resolved on a new stock option plan
The Board of Directors of Bioretec Ltd has resolved to establish a new stock option plan for key personnel and selected consultants of the Group. There is a weighty financial reason for the Company to issue stock options, as they are intended to form part of the incentive and commitment program for the Group’s key personnel and consultants. The stock options are intended to encourage the participants to work on a long-term basis to increase shareholder value and to commit the participants to the service of the Company. The stock option plan is directed to approximately 30 key persons and consultants.
A maximum total of 182,970,807 stock options will be issued, entitling their owners to subscribe for a maximum total of 182,970,807 new shares in the Company or existing shares held by the Company. The stock options are issued gratuitously. Of the stock options, 97,584,430 are marked with the symbol 2026A and 85,386,377 are marked with the symbol 2026B.
The shares to be subscribed for on the basis of the issued stock options correspond to a maximum total of 12 per cent of all the shares and votes in the Company after potential share subscriptions, should new shares be issued in the subscription. As a result of the share subscriptions, the number of shares in the Company may increase by a maximum total of 182,970,807 shares, should new shares be issued in the subscription.
The stock options vest gradually over four years, subject to continued employment or service. After a 12-month cliff, 40 per cent of the 2026A options and 25 per cent of the 2026B options will vest. The remaining options of both classes will vest in equal quarterly instalments over the subsequent three years.
The share subscription price for stock options 2026A and 2026B is the volume-weighted average share price (VWAP) of the Company’s share during the period of one (1) month commencing on April 29, 2026, plus a 20 per cent premium.
The share subscription price will be credited to the reserve for the Company’s invested unrestricted equity. The share subscription price will be reduced by the amount of dividends and assets from reserves of unrestricted equity per share resolved after the Board’s resolution but before the share subscription.
The share subscription period for the stock options starts when options vest and ends on May 31, 2032, for both stock options 2026A and 2026B.
The theoretical market value of one stock option is EUR 0.0172 per stock option. The total theoretical market value of all stock options is approximately EUR 3,147,098. The theoretical market value of one stock option has been calculated using the Black & Scholes stock option pricing model, taking into account the exercise price of the stock option and the following assumptions: share price EUR 0.0226, risk-free interest rate 2.77%, time to maturity approximately six years, current dividend yield 0% and volatility approximately 89.60%.
The Board of Directors resolved on the new stock option plan by virtue of an authorisation granted by the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders on March 27, 2026.

The Board of Directors of Bioretec Ltd resolved on a new stock option plan

The Board of Directors of Bioretec Ltd resolved on a new stock option plan
Bioretec Ltd Company Announcement 1 June 2026 at 19:05 p.m. EEST
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF BIORETEC LTD RESOLVED ON A NEW STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Board of Directors of Bioretec Ltd has resolved to establish a new stock option plan for key personnel and selected consultants of the Group. There is a weighty financial reason for the Company to issue stock options, as they are intended to form part of the incentive and commitment program for the Group's key personnel and consultants. The stock options are intended to encourage the participants to work on a long-term basis to increase shareholder value and to commit the participants to the service of the Company. The stock option plan is directed to approximately 30 key persons and consultants.
A maximum total of 182,970,807 stock options will be issued, entitling their owners to subscribe for a maximum total of 182,970,807 new shares in the Company or existing shares held by the Company. The stock options are issued gratuitously. Of the stock options, 96,059,674 are marked with the symbol 2026A and 86,911,133 are marked with the symbol 2026B.
The shares to be subscribed for on the basis of the issued stock options correspond to a maximum total of 12 per cent of all the shares and votes in the Company after potential share subscriptions, should new shares be issued in the subscription. As a result of the share subscriptions, the number of shares in the Company may increase by a maximum total of 182,970,807 shares, should new shares be issued in the subscription.
The stock options vest gradually over four years, subject to continued employment or service. After a 12-month cliff, 40 per cent of the 2026A options and 25 per cent of the 2026B options will vest. The remaining options of both classes will vest in equal quarterly instalments over the subsequent three years.
The share subscription price for stock options 2026A and 2026B is the volume-weighted average share price (VWAP) of the Company's share during the period of one (1) month commencing on April 29, 2026, plus a 20 per cent premium.
The share subscription price will be credited to the reserve for the Company's invested unrestricted equity. The share subscription price will be reduced by the amount of dividends and assets from reserves of unrestricted equity per share resolved after the Board’s resolution but before the share subscription.
The share subscription period for the stock options starts when options vest and ends on May 31, 2032, for both stock options 2026A and 2026B.
The theoretical market value of one stock option is EUR 0.0172 per stock option. The total theoretical market value of all stock options is approximately EUR 3,147,098. The theoretical market value of one stock option has been calculated using the Black & Scholes stock option pricing model, taking into account the exercise price of the stock option and the following assumptions: share price EUR 0.0226, risk-free interest rate 2.77%, time to maturity approximately six years, current dividend yield 0% and volatility approximately 89.60%.
The Board of Directors resolved on the new stock option plan by virtue of an authorisation granted by the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders on March 27, 2026.
