Minesto announces incentive programme LTI 2021 is completed, LTI 2025 will commence and that major shareholder, the CEO and other senior executives have increased their shareholdings

Minesto said its performance-based LTI 2021 has expired with 686,611 shares subscribed, raising about SEK 34.3k, increasing the share count to 260,111,612 and causing roughly 0.26% dilution; the program will be finally closed before the turn of the year 2025/2026. The company’s AGM on 22 May 2025 approved a new performance-based LTI 2025, which has now been initiated. Meanwhile, major shareholder Corespring New Technology AB acquired 3.8 million shares (reported 4 Dec 2025) and senior executives increased insider holdings—CEO Martin Edlund 65,000 shares, CTO Bernt Erik Westre 50,000 and CFO Alexander Jancke 10,000—transactions reported to the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority’s transparency register.

Analysis

Minesto reports that the performance‑based LTI 2021 has expired with 686,611 shares subscribed at quota value, raising approximately SEK 34.3k and increasing the share count from 259,425,011 to 260,111,612, implying dilution of roughly 0.26%. The company will finally terminate the LTI 2021 program before the turn of the year 2025/2026 and will publish the final outcome on its website.

The AGM on 22 May 2025 approved and initiated a new performance‑based LTI 2025 for senior executives and employees; details will be made available on Minesto’s site. The board’s continued use of performance LTIs signals ongoing management alignment mechanisms, but future dilution and vesting conditions remain unknown until the LTI 2025 terms are disclosed.

Corporate insiders and a major shareholder increased holdings: Corespring New Technology AB acquired 3.8 million shares on 4 December 2025, the CEO acquired 65,000 shares, the CTO 50,000 and the CFO 10,000 (transactions reported to the Swedish transparency register). These acquisitions are a governance signal that may support share stability and investor confidence.

The immediate financial impact of LTI 2021 is negligible (SEK 34.3k), while material implications depend on LTI 2025 design and any further issuances; investors should watch upcoming disclosures and operational/financial updates from Minesto given its marine energy commercialization focus.

Key Decisions for Investors

• Treat the LTI 2021 outcome as immaterial to capital structure given SEK 34.3k proceeds and ~0.26% dilution, and avoid reallocating solely on this announcement
• Interpret the 3.8m‑share purchase by Corespring and the insider buys (CEO 65k, CTO 50k, CFO 10k) as a mildly positive governance signal; consider maintaining or modestly increasing exposure if aligned with your risk profile while awaiting further evidence of execution
• Require publication of full LTI 2025 terms and monitor the company’s investor site for those disclosures, the final LTI 2021 outcome, any future share issuances, and operational/financial updates before making larger position changes
