FRNT Announces Option Amendments

TORONTO, July 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FRNT Financial Inc. (TSXV:FRNT) (OTCQB:FRFLF) (FSE:XZ3) (“FRNT” or the “Company”) announces that, subject to applicable TSX Venture Exchange approval, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) has approved the amendment (the “Option Amendments”) of an aggregate of 465,731 previously granted employee stock options (the “Amended Options”). Pursuant to the Option Amendments, the exercise price of the Amended Options has been amended from $1.17 to $0.60 per common share. All other terms of the Amended Options remain the same.

The Board has determined that the Amended Options do not offer an adequate incentive to participants under the Company’s stock option plan, based on their original exercise price. Recognizing that option grants are a critical element of the Company's compensation policy, the Board is of the view that it is in the best interest of the Company to reprice the Amended Options, to more consistently align with the current market environment of the common shares of the Company. No options held by insiders of the Company have been amended.
