The Meeting approved the board's remuneration report.
The Meeting approved the Board of Directors' proposal to authorize the Board to decide, until the next annual general meeting, with or without deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, on one or several occasions resolve to issue ordinary shares, convertible instruments and/or warrants. Payment may be made in cash and/or with in kind or by way of set-off, or other conditions. The total increase of the number of ordinary shares, which includes issuance, conversion or subscription for new shares, may - where it entails a deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights - correspond to a dilution of a maximum of 10 percent of the current number outstanding ordinary shares, adjusted for any splits or similar.
The Annual General Meeting resolved, in accordance with the Board of Directors' proposal, that the company, with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, offers managers and senior executives to acquire a maximum of 650,000 warrants divided into two series, (a) 325,000 warrants of series 2025/2028 and (b) 325,000 warrants of series 2025/2029. Acquisition of warrants shall be made at market value. Details of the programs are available on the company's website.
The purpose of the programme is, among other things, for senior executives within the Group to be able to take part in and work for a positive development in the value of the company's shares through their own investment and thereby achieve increased alignment of interests between them and the company's shareholders, and to contribute to senior executives increasing their shareholding in the company in the long term.
