Invalda INVL will continue to provide the opportunity for employees of the asset management group to acquire stock options in the company. That and other decisions were adopted at the shareholders\u2019 meeting held today.<\/p>\n
\u201cWithin the Invalda INVL group, we have conducted a variety of employee stock option incentive programmes for many years. The asset management business relies on the team\u2019s abilities and motivation to set long-term goals and achieve them. Stock options are a chance for employees to become shareholders of the company and receive part of the value created by their common efforts,\u201dDarius \u0160ulnis, President of Invalda INVL, says.<\/p>\n
It was decided that, on the basis of options contracts signed this year, in 2024 employees of Invalda INVL and of companies in which Invalda INVL owns more than 50% of shares would obtain the right to acquire up to 120 thousand ordinary registered shares of Invalda INVL with a nominal value of EUR 0.29, paying a price per share of EUR 1.<\/p>\n
In order for employees of the group to exercise options granted in 2018, it was decided to increase the authorised capital of Invalda INVL to EUR 3.47 million. For that purpose, 59,674 ordinary registered shares will be issued, for which the employees will pay EUR 0.20 each, as prior to exercise of the options the company paid dividends of EUR 0.80 per share.<\/p>\n
Also at the meeting, shareholders approved the audited 2020 operating results. The company\u2019s equity at the end of 2020 was EUR 83.2 million, or EUR 7.11 per share, and compared to the end of 2019 increased nearly 6% (also taking into account the EUR 9.3 million of dividends paid to shareholders). Invalda INVL earned a net profit last year of EUR 5.3 million.<\/p>\n
\u201cInvalda INVL\u2019s retained earnings can be used for the further development of the Invalda INVL group and for investments in the products that INVL manages and offers to clients,\u201d Darius \u0160ulnis says.<\/p>\n
It was decided at the shareholders meeting to allow the company to buy back its own shares. An existing reserve of EUR 9.9 million would be used for repurchasing shares. The maximum share buy-back price is the value of consolidated equity per share calculated according to the last consolidated equity figures published by Invalda INVL prior to the board\u2019s decision, with a minimum buy-back price of EUR 1 per share.<\/p>\n
Also at the meeting, two independent members were elected for a 4-year term on Invalda INVL\u2019s audit committee. Biotechpharma UAB Managing Director Tomas Bubinas and Moore Mackonis Vilnius UAB partner and auditor Dangut\u0117 Pranck\u0117nien\u0117 will thus now work on the committee.<\/p>\n
