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.

Inside information: Bioretec initiates new change negotiations in production to enhance operational efficiency
Inside information: Bioretec initiates new change negotiations in production to enhance operational efficiency
Bioretec Ltd — Inside information — 1 June 2026 at 19:00 EEST
Bioretec Ltd initiates change negotiations in accordance with the Finnish Act on Co-operation within Undertakings. The aim of the negotiations is to streamline operations and consequently to improve the company’s competitiveness and profitability. The negotiations will focus on Bioretec’s production function in Finland.
The change negotiations will commence on 8 June 2026 and are estimated to last for approximately two weeks.
A total of 12 employees from Bioretec’s staff in Finland are included in the scope of the negotiations. The negotiations may impact the employment terms of up to four individuals. Potential measures under negotiation may include terminations of employment. The objective of the negotiations is to achieve estimated annual cost savings of approximately EUR 0.2 million, separate from the EUR 0.4 million cost savings target communicated in connection with the previous change negotiations.
As the company communicated on 12 November 2025, Bioretec’s investments in production have proven to be oversized in relation to the realized business development. Bioretec underwent change negotiations concerning its production function in November 2025, resulting in the termination of one production employee and the temporary layoff of five employees. Based on the company’s assessment, the measures implemented thus far are not sufficient on their own to adapt production to the current business volumes. Consequently, the company considers additional measures necessary to further adjust its cost structure.
Bioretec will keep its personnel informed about the progress of the negotiations and will publicly announce the outcome once the negotiations have concluded.

The first quarter of 2026 reflects intentional direction and early traction from the operational and commercial reset initiated in the second half of 2025. Net sales reached EUR 1.2 million, with growth in both the U.S. and Europe reaching 449% and 203.3% respectively for the year-over-year comparison period. This growth is not only volume-driven but structurally healthier: revenue is now supported by a broader mix of customers and distribution partners across key markets. Adjustments to gross margins were made in an effort to align our financial reporting more closely with that of our industry peers, an initiative we identified in 2025 and implemented at the start of this financial year.
During the quarter, we activated new distribution channels in the U.S. and internationally while expanding our direct customer base. This reduces concentration risk and improves the quality and resilience of our revenue as we scale. The focus is clear – build a commercially robust business in high-value markets with repeatable demand drivers.
Our strategy for 2026–2028 prioritizes disciplined execution, capital efficiency, and continued innovation through the expansion of the RemeOs™ platform. The first quarter of 2026 already provided clear signals that the updated strategy is translating into measurable results. The commercial investments made in late 2025, particularly in leadership and capability building, are accelerating our momentum both in the U.S. and Europe.
We have continued to strengthen our market presence and visibility, particularly in the United States. During the quarter, we further established our Key Opinion Leader (KOL) program, including hosting our first KOL roundtable in January and launching a series of monthly surgeon-led webinars. In addition, we presented at several important industry events, including the AOFAS winter meeting, the ACFAS annual scientific conference, the Canaccord Genuity Musculoskeletal Conference and the AAOS Annual Meeting in New Orleans in March. These activities enhance our engagement with clinical and economic stakeholders and support broader awareness of our technology in the world’s largest medtech market.
Looking ahead, we remain focused on driving commercial growth, advancing launch readiness for our near-term pipeline, and driving operational excellence. Advancing production capabilities and process discipline is a priority to ensure that growth is supported by reliable and efficient delivery.
Successful rights issue supports the next phase of targeted growth
After the reporting period, we successfully completed a rights issue. This strengthens our financial position and provides additional resourcing required to execute the next phase of our targeted growth. Specifically, it allows us to progress the execution of our strategy with a focus on the near-term pipeline, U.S. commercial organization and operational scale. We are greatly encouraged by the outcome of the rights issue and grateful for the continued commitment from our shareholders.
We carry this momentum into 2026 with a strengthened financial base, clear operational priorities, and an organizational focus with an emphasis on execution.
