Authorisation of the Board of Directors to resolve on issuance of shares, transfer of own shares and issuance of special rights entitling to shares
The AGM resolved, in accordance with the proposal from the Board of Directors, to authorise the Board of Directors to resolve on the issuance of shares or transfer of the Company's shares as well as the issuance of special rights entitling to shares referred to in chapter 10, section 1 of the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act, subject to the following conditions:
Shares and special rights may be issued or disposed of in one or more instalments, either in return for payment or free of charge.
The total number of shares to be issued under the authorisation, including shares acquired on the basis of special rights, may not exceed 3,000,000 shares, which corresponds to approximately 9% of the total number of shares in the Company on the date of the notice of the AGM.
The Board of Directors decides on all terms and conditions related to the issuance of shares. This authorisation concerns both the issuance of new shares and the transfer of the Company's own shares. The issuance of shares and the issuance of special rights entitling to shares include the right to deviate from the pre-emptive right of shareholders if there is a weighty financial reason for the Company (directed share issue). A directed share issue may be free of charge only if there is a particularly weighty financial reason from the point of view of the Company and doing so is in the interest of all the Company's shareholders.
This authorisation is valid until the close of the next AGM, but no later than 30 June 2027. This authorisation revokes previous authorisations given by the AGM to decide on issuance of shares, as well as option rights and the issuance of special rights entitling to shares.

A maximum number of 1,000,000 of the Company's own shares may be repurchased, representing approximately 3% of the total number of shares in the Company on the date that the notice of the meeting was published. Any repurchase must be conducted in a manner such that the number of its own shares held by the Company does not exceed 10% of the total number of shares in the Company at any time. This amount includes shares in Oma Savings Bank Plc held by the Company itself and by its subsidiaries within the meaning of chapter 15, section 11, subsection 1 of the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act.
The Board of Directors is authorised to decide on the manner by which the Company's own shares will be acquired.
The Company's own shares may be acquired in a manner other than in proportion to the shareholdings of the shareholders (directed acquisition) at a price formed in public trading organised by Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd on the acquisition date or otherwise at a price formed by the market. The Company's own shares may be acquired in one or more instalments.
Shares acquired by the Company may be held by the Company, cancelled or transferred further. The Board of Directors will decide on other matters related to the acquisition of the Company's own shares.
This authorisation remains valid until the end of the next Annual General Meeting, but no later than 30 June 2027. This authorisation revokes previous authorisations granted by the General Meeting to decide on the acquisition of the Company's own shares.
