FAQ

AI-generated questions and answers. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.

What did Flex LNG (FLNG) report in this Form 3 filing?

Flex LNG reported Chief Financial Officer Knut Traaholt’s initial derivative holdings. He holds synthetic share options referencing 61,043 ordinary shares, with a defined vesting schedule and expiration date. This filing establishes his baseline beneficial ownership as an officer rather than reporting any new share purchase or sale.

How many synthetic share options does the Flex LNG CFO hold?

The CFO holds synthetic share options over 61,043 underlying ordinary shares. These options are part of Flex LNG’s share option scheme, vest in three equal annual tranches, and become exercisable upon vesting. The filing shows this entire amount as a direct derivative holding as of the reported date.

What is the vesting schedule for the Flex LNG CFO’s synthetic share options?

The options vest over three years, in one-third increments. Vesting dates are June 24, 2026, June 24, 2027, and June 24, 2028. Once each tranche vests, those options become exercisable. This structure ties the CFO’s potential benefit to a multi-year service and performance horizon.

When do the Flex LNG synthetic share options held by the CFO expire?

The synthetic share options expire on June 24, 2030. This gives the CFO a multi-year window, after vesting, to decide when to exercise them. After the expiration date, any unexercised options lapse and no longer provide the right to receive value linked to Flex LNG shares.

How is the exercise price of the Flex LNG CFO’s options adjusted for dividends?

The exercise price is reduced by all dividends declared from grant to exercise. This adjustment lowers the effective exercise price as dividends are paid, but it cannot go below the par value of the share. The structure helps align option value with total shareholder returns, including dividends.

Does this Flex LNG Form 3 show the CFO buying or selling shares?

No, the Form 3 does not show any share purchases or sales. It records the CFO’s existing synthetic share options as an initial statement of beneficial ownership. The single entry is categorized as a holding, not a transaction, and there are no buy or sell codes reported.
