Acquisition and conveyance of treasury shares

The Annual General Meeting resolved in accordance with the Board’s motion to authorise the Board, on one or more occasions during the period until the next Annual General Meeting, to acquire and divest shares in the Company. The purpose of such repurchases is to be able to adapt the Group’s capital structure and to pay for future acquisitions of businesses and operations using treasury shares. By holding own shares, the Company’s obligations outstanding for share-based incentive programmes are also ensured.

Acquisitions are to be carried out on Nasdaq Stockholm at a price that is within the registered price range at any given time, meaning the range between the highest purchase price and the lowest selling price. Acquisitions of own shares are limited so that the Company’s total holding of treasury shares at no time exceeds 10 percent of the total number of shares in the Company.

Divestments of the Company’s treasury shares may be carried out with or without preferential rights for shareholders but may not be carried out on Nasdaq Stockholm. Divestments may be carried out to finance acquisitions of businesses or operations.

At the ensuing statutory Board meeting, the Board resolved to be able to exercise the mandate it had received from the Annual General Meeting to repurchase shares in the Company.

Issuance of call options on repurchased shares and transfer of repurchased shares to executives

The Annual General Meeting resolved, in accordance with the Board of Directors’ proposal, in deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, to offer approximately 25 senior executives in the Bergman & Beving Group the opportunity to acquire up to 250,000 call options for the Company’s repurchased class B shares. These options will entitle the holders to acquire a corresponding number of shares during the period starting on 10 September 2027 and ending on 2 June 2028, equal to approximately 0.9 percent of the total number of shares and approximately 0.7 percent of the total number of votes in the Company. The options are to be acquired at market value. The acquisition price of the shares when exercising call options shall correspond to 120 percent of the volume-weighted average price paid for the Company’s class B shares on the Nasdaq Stockholm during the period from 30 August 2024 to 12 September 2024, inclusive.
