The fees for the Board of Directors and the auditor were resolved in accordance with the Nomination Committee's proposal.
Long-term performance share plan 2026
The Annual General Meeting resolved to implement a performance-based long-term incentive plan (Performance Share Plan 2026) and to transfer own shares to the participants in the plan in accordance with the terms set out in the notice to the Annual General Meeting.
The plan, which follows the same framework as the previous performance share plans, in summary, means that the participants will receive a performance share award free of charge, corresponding to 225 percent of the participants' individual gross fixed salary as of 1 January 2026, which, based on fulfilment of the performance conditions (revenue, EBIT, operational cash flow and ESG) during the performance period, entitle the participants to allocation of series B shares. The performance period runs from January 2026 up to and including December 2028 and allocation of performance shares will take place during the second quarter of 2029. The plan will have approximately 15 participants consisting of senior executives. The Board of Directors will establish target levels for the performance conditions regarding revenue, EBIT and operational cash flow.
Upon full allocation of performance shares, the number of shares will amount to 1,190,762 series B shares in Betsson, corresponding to a dilution effect of approximately 0.8 percent of the share capital and approximately 0.4 percent of the votes in the Company.
Authorisations
The Annual General Meeting resolved to authorise the Board of Directors to, until the next Annual General Meeting, decide on the repurchase and transfer of series B shares on one or more occasions.
The purpose of the authorisation to repurchase shares is to provide the Board of Directors with increased flexibility in managing the Company's capital structure and to create flexibility in the Company's opportunities to acquire companies or businesses and to secure the Company's commitments in respect of incentive programmes as applicable from time to time.
The authorisation transfer of series B shares means that the Board of Directors, with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, may decide on the transfer of the Company's own shares as payment for the acquisition of a company or business at a market value as assessed by the Board of Directors.
Further, the Annual General Meeting resolved to authorise the Board of Directors to decide on the issue of shares and/or convertibles, on one or more occasions, during the period until the next Annual General Meeting, with or without deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, against cash payment, capital contributed in-kind or by set-off.
Reduction of share capital and bonus issue
The Annual General Meeting resolved to reduce the Company's share capital by EUR 204,204 through cancellation of 3,094,000 own series B shares. The reduction shall be made without repayment to shareholders and for allocation to non-restricted equity. Furthermore, the Annual General Meeting resolved to increase the Company's share capital by a corresponding amount through a bonus issue without issuing any new shares, whereby the share capital will be restored to the same level as prior to the reduction.
