EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 (“Post-Effective Amendment”) amends the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-229285) (the “Initial Filing”) of Opera Limited (the “Registrant”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on January 18, 2019 (together with the Post-Effective Amendment, the “Registration Statement”), with respect to the ordinary shares issuable pursuant to the Registrants’ Share Incentive Plan.
On December 10, 2025, the Registrant’s board of directors adopted the Second Amended and Restated Share Incentive Plan, pursuant to which the pool of available awards under the Company’s employee equity incentive plan was expanded by: (a) the addition of two (2) million ADSs, from 10,000,000 ADSs to 12,000,000 ADSs; and (b) with an annual increase of an additional one (1) million ADSs on each January 1, starting on January 1, 2026, or such lesser number of ADSs as may be set by the Company’s board of directors prior to the first day of any calendar year.
As a result, the Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment to incorporate the Second Amended and Restated Share Incentive Plan as Exhibit 10.1 and to replace Exhibit 10.1 of the Initial Filing. No additional securities are being registered. All items have been omitted from this Amendment other than the facing page, this explanatory note, Item 8, the signature page and Exhibits 10.1 and 24.1.
