Introduction of a new long-term incentive program
The AGM resolved to introduce a long-term performance-based incentive program for 2026 (LTIP 2026), including its terms and instructions. LTIP 2026 may comprise a maximum of 1,500 employees in the Group. In the event of full allotment to the participants in the program, a maximum of 1,000,000 shares of series B in the company will be required.
It was also resolved that, to the extent that own shares acquired under previous programs (LTIP 2021, LTIP 2022 and LTIP 2024) are not required for the programs for which they have been acquired, it shall be possible to transfer such shares to participants in other programs (including LTIP 2026) and to finance social security contributions and payroll overhead as a result of other programs (including LTIP 2026). Correspondingly, it shall be possible to transfer shares acquired under LTIP 2026 to participants in other programs and to finance social security contributions and payroll overhead as a result of such other programs.
To acquire the shares required for LTIP 2026, the Board – following its election – was authorized to, on one or more occasions, either (i) decide on the repurchase of the company’s own shares in accordance with the authorization to acquire and transfer the company’s own shares below, or (ii) increase the company’s share capital by a maximum of SEK 200,000 through the issue of a maximum of 1,000,000 Class C shares. The new shares shall be subscribed for by a bank engaged by the company to facilitate the delivery of performance shares and the financing of social security contributions and payroll overhead as a result of LTIP 2026. Class C shares shall be repurchased at a price corresponding to the share’s quotient value and converted into Class B shares.
A maximum of 780,000 of the company’s Class B treasury shares shall thereafter be transferred free of charge to participants in LTIP 2026 and other incentive programs, while a maximum of 220,000 of the company’s Class B treasury shares shall be transferred on Nasdaq Stockholm to finance social security contributions and payroll overhead under LTIP 2026 and other incentive programs.
