Acquisitions of own shares will be carried out on Nasdaq Stockholm and may be carried out on one or more occasions and shall commence no earlier than 11 May 2026 and shall end no later than 15 March 2027.

Acquisitions may only be made in accordance with the restrictions regarding volume for acquisitions of own shares stated in Nasdaq Stockholm’s rules for issuers and in the Safe Harbour Regulation. Acquisitions may be made at a price not exceeding the higher of (i) the price of the most recent independent transaction and (ii) the highest current independent bid on the trading venue where the share is traded, and otherwise on the terms established by Nasdaq Stockholm. Payment for the shares will be made in cash and reporting will be conducted through the stock exchange in accordance with applicable rules.
The purpose of the Board of Directors’ resolution to exercise the authorization is to adapt the company’s capital structure and thereby contribute to increased shareholder value.
