Nordic Nanovector ASA: Allotment of Restricted Stock Unites (RSUs) to the Board of Directors

Reference is made to the minutes from Nordic Nanovector ASA's (the "Company") (OSE: NANO) annual general meeting held on 19 May 2016 in Oslo, Norway.

At the general meeting, the Company resolved to issue restricted stock units ("RSUs") to board members who elect to receive all or parts of their remuneration, for the period from the annual general meeting in 2016 to the annual general meeting in 2017, in the form of RSUs pursuant to the respective restricted share units agreements ("RSU Agreement") entered into between the Company and the relevant board members.

The RSUs are non-transferable and each RSU give the right and obligation to acquire one shares in the Company at a price of NOK 0.20 per share (corresponding to the nominal value of the shares) subject to satisfaction of the applicable vesting conditions stated in the RSU Agreement.

The board members who elect to receive RSU's, must elect to either (i) receive 100% of the compensation in RSUs, (ii) receive 1/3 of the compensation in cash and 2/3 in RSUs, or (iii) receive 2/3 of the compensation in cash and 1/3 in RSUs. The election made by each board member has been set out in the table below. The number of RSUs to be granted to the members of the Board of Directors is calculated as the NOK amount of the RSU opted portion of total compensation to the board member, divided by the market price for the Nordic Nanovector share. The market price is calculated as volume weighted average share price the 10 trading days prior to the grant date, i.e. NOK 22.68.

Pursuant to the RSU program, the board members and primary insiders of the Company received the following number of RSUs:

[1] NOK 450,000 as chairman of the Board, NOK 20,000 as a member of the audit committee and NOK 20,000 as a member of the compensation committee
[2] NOK 240,000 as board member, NOK 40,000 as chairman of the compensation committee and NOK 20,000 as a member of the audit committee
[3] Per Samuelsson is not allowed to hold equity in the Company due to his affiliation with HealthCap, and will only receive cash.
[4] NOK 240,000 as board member, NOK 40,000 as chairman of the audit committee and NOK 20,000 as a member of the compensation committee.

A total of 44,530 RSUs have thus been granted. The RSUs will vest on 19 May 2017.
