Khiron Announces Shareholder Approval of Amended and Restated Option Plan and Restricted Share Unit Plan, and Grants of RSUs

Canada NewsWire

TORONTO, Sept. 11, 2020 /CNW/ - Khiron Life Sciences Corp. ("Khiron" or the "Company") (TSXV: KHRN), (OTCQX: KHRNF), (Frankfurt: A2JMZC), a vertically integrated cannabis leader with core operations in Latin America and Europe, announces the adoption of the Company's amended and restated stock option plan and the Company's amended and restated restricted share unit plan (together, the "Share Compensation Plans").  The Share Compensation Plans were approved by shareholders at the annual general and special meeting of shareholders held on September 10, 2020 (the "AGM") and were previously approved by the Company's board of directors and by the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"), subject to shareholder approval at the AGM.

The board of directors may grant options and restricted share units ("RSUs") under the Share Compensation Plans to attract, motivate and retain directors, officers, employees and consultants, and to align the interests of plan participants with those of the Company's shareholders. The fixed number of shares issuable under the Share Compensation Plans and any other securities compensation arrangement (including the Company's previous stock option and RSU plans) is 13,398,580, being 20% of the shares issued as at August 4, 2020, less the number of options and RSUs issued as at that date.

Following the approval by shareholders of the Share Compensation Plans, on September 10, 2020, the board of directors approved a grant of 1,210,000 RSUs to certain directors and officers of the Company under the amended and restated RSU plan, as set forth below.  The RSUs will vest in thirds on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date.
