The theoretical market value of one stock option is EUR 1.49 per stock option and the total theoretical market value of all stock options 2022A is EUR 1,300,000.

The company has a weighty financial reason for the issue of stock options since the stock options are intended to form part of the incentive and commitment program for the Group key employees.
