Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-05-12; Form 4 filed 2026-05-13 (timely).
• Reported amounts: 10,488 and 8,391 derivative units; combined total 18,879.

• Footnotes (summary):
  • Option exercise price: EUR 89.38; subject to adjustment so ADS trading price on exercise date does not exceed 800% of grant-date exercise price.
  • Vesting: options and PSUs vest annually in equal installments over four years, starting one year after grant; exercisable/settleable after four years, subject to performance targets and continued service.
  • Settlement: supervisory board may settle awards in ordinary shares, ADSs, and/or cash.
  • PSUs: each PSU equals the economic value of one ordinary share, with payout tied to performance vs. the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index (or successor).
• Filing timeliness: filed the next day — not marked late.

Context These were compensation awards (stock options and performance share units) that require future vesting and, for PSUs, achievement of performance targets. Because they are derivative awards subject to multi-year vesting and potential performance conditions — and may be settled in shares, ADSs, or cash — they do not represent an immediate purchase or sale of stock and are not a direct bullish/sell signal. Executive awards are common as part of pay packages; monitor vesting dates and performance criteria for any eventual equity issuance or exercises.
