Exercise of the Share Options Programme and Subscription Results
AS LHV Group hereby discloses the subscription results of the options granted in
2023 under the share options programme approved by the resolution of the general
meeting on 13 March 2020 and amended by the resolution of the general meeting on
26 March 2025. The subscription period ended on 30 April 2026 at 5:00 p.m.
In contrast to previous years, the exercise of the current options programme
does not involve an increase of LHV Group's share capital or the issuance of new
shares. The shares subscribed by the option beneficiaries will be transferred
from LHV Group's own shares acquired under the share buy-back programme. As a
result, the dilution of share capital is 0% in the current year.
Subscription results
Pursuant to the terms of the share options programme, the pre-emptive right to
subscribe for shares is granted to the management and equivalent staff as well
as key employees of the companies incorporated within the LHV Group
consolidation group, as determined by the Supervisory Board of LHV Group, and
with whom LHV Group has concluded the relevant option agreements (option
beneficiaries).
A total of 180 current and former employees and members of the management bodies
of LHV Group consolidation group were eligible to participate in the options
programme. Of these, 175 persons participated in the share subscription,
subscribing in total for 3,234,557 shares at a subscription price of EUR 1.70
per share. The aggregate subscription amount was EUR 5,498,746.9. The
subscription applications were submitted on time and the subscribed shares were
paid for in full through monetary contributions. The unsubscribed options, in
the total amount of 47,185, will be cancelled.
Transfer of shares and rights attached thereto
The shares to be transferred to the option beneficiaries are of the same class
as the ordinary shares previously issued by LHV Group and do not carry any
specifications or special rights. The shares will grant the right to receive
dividends starting from the financial year 2026. The transfer of shares to the
option beneficiaries will be carried out through the Estonian Central Register
of Securities (Nasdaq CSD). As the exercise of the options programme is effected
using existing treasury shares, the transaction will not result in any change to
LHV Group's share capital or the total number of issued shares.

Estonia. LHV Group's key subsidiaries are LHV Pank, LHV Varahaldus,
