Managing ownership in a company is complex enough as it is. Options, convertibles, and other incentive programs are often added as the company grows – yet many organizations remain stuck with manual processes, outdated Excel files, or digital tools that are not connected to the share ledger.

We are now launching two important updates that make it easier to manage incentive programs and understand how dilution affects ownership – both today and over time:

  • Options & derivatives – an enhanced feature with smooth, digital management of option programs, convertibles, and other conditional instruments
  • Full dilution view – a completely new overview showing how ownership is affected over time and across different scenarios

When all data on ownership and incentive programs is gathered in one system – together with the share ledger – it becomes easier to stay organized, make informed decisions, and communicate clearly with investors, employees, and other key stakeholders. It also ensures that the share ledger is always accurate and up to date as the company evolves.

In short: better visibility, less manual work, and more professional ownership management.

Want to see how it works? Book a demo and we’ll show you.

More secure management of option programs – without Excel and manual errors

It is now easier than ever to administer incentive programs directly in NVR. The updated Options & derivatives feature provides a structured and flexible way to manage different types of instruments – fully integrated with the share ledger.

The options service in NVR supports, among other things:

  • Warrants, convertibles, QESO, and other conditional instruments – vesting coming soon
  • Full flexibility to create and configure programs: participants, terms, pricing, and conditions
  • Smooth participant administration, with the ability to display programs directly in the ownership account

Whether you run a small employee option program or complex structures involving multiple stakeholder groups, you gain full control from start to finish. Läs här om hur du registrerar optionsprogram.

Make sure your derivatives register is correct from the start. We offer support with historical data entry and guide you through the entire onboarding process. Contact us here!

Full dilution – a clear view of future ownership

With the new Full dilution view, it is easier to see how different programs affect ownership – both now and in the future. It provides a consolidated overview of all outstanding shares linked to derivative programs, along with a visual breakdown of ownership and potential dilution at both company and individual level.

You can also click into each owner to see associated programs, quantities, and terms.

In addition, you can easily view dilution per program directly in the overview. This includes:

  • Total potential dilution per program
  • Dilution from issued derivatives only
  • The combined effect on the company’s overall ownership structure

This view makes it easy to quickly prepare decision material, update the board, or communicate internally about how different incentive programs impact ownership.

For those already using NVR

If you already use NVR for your share ledger but still manage options in Excel, Word, or other tools — this is for you.

You get:

  • A central system that reduces the risk of errors
  • Time savings through clear structure and automation
  • Easier reporting to the board, investors, and participants
  • The ability to scale with features that support increasing complexity over time

Do you have a simpler setup? Start with Starter and add the Options & derivatives add-on (from SEK 49/month).

Do you manage multiple programs, companies, or advanced structures? Then we recommend the Pro plan, which also includes the ownership overview with full dilution.

New to NVR? Here’s how to get started

We know that many companies still rely on manual methods — and that it is easy to remain stuck in that Excel sheet.

With NVR, you get:

  • A secure, digital system for the entire ownership structure
  • Full control over both current and future ownership
  • Onboarding support – we can help set up both historical data and ongoing programs

You also provide a more professional experience for participants and investors, and are better prepared for future funding rounds or an exit.

Want to learn more?

Whether you are new to NVR or already a user, we are happy to help you get started. Book a meeting with one of our experts and we will show how the features can be tailored to your company.
