The General Meeting resolved, in accordance with the Board's proposal, to authorize the Board of Directors to decide on a free share issue as follows: in order to improve the liquidity of the company's share, new shares be issued to the shareholders without payment in proportion to their existing shareholdings, so that two (2) new shares are issued for each share (a so-called split). In addition, in the free share issue, new shares will be issued without payment to the company itself in respect of the shares held by the company.
Based on the number of shares on the date of the General Meeting, a total of 24,224,994 new shares will be issued, resulting the total number of shares being 36,337,491 after the split. The shares will be issued to shareholders who, on the record date of the share issue on 29 April 2026, are registered in the shareholder register maintained by Euroclear Finland Ltd. The free share issue will be carried out in the book entry system and will not require any action from shareholders. The new shares will confer shareholder rights as of approximately 29 April 2026, once they have been registered with the Trade Register. The booking of the new shares to shareholders' book entry accounts is planned to take place approximately on 30 April 2026.
In addition, The General Meeting resolved, in accordance with the Board's proposal, to authorize the Board, if necessary, to decide on a new record date, should the registration schedule of the new shares, the rules of Euroclear Finland Ltd, the rules of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd or applicable regulations concerning the company change or otherwise require such action.
