Componenta Corporation stock exchange release, 19 March 2026 at 12.15 p.m. EET

Notice is given to the shareholders of Componenta Corporation of the Annual General Meeting to be held in Technopolis Aviapolis meeting room Akropolis 2 at Teknobulevardi 3−5, 01530 Vantaa, on Tuesday 14 April 2026, beginning at 10:00 a.m. (EEST). The reception of persons who have registered for the meeting and distribution of voting tickets will commence at 9:30 a.m. (EEST). 

A. MATTERS ON THE AGENDA OF THE GENERAL MEETING

At the General Meeting, the following matters will be considered:

1. Opening of the meeting

2. Calling the meeting to order

3. Election of persons to scrutinize the minutes and to supervise the counting of votes

4. Recording the legality of the meeting

5. Recording the attendance at the meeting and adoption of the list of votes

6. Presentation of the financial statements, the consolidated financial statements, the report of the Board of Directors and the auditor’s report for the year 2025

Review by the President and CEO and presentation of the auditor’s report.

7. Adoption of the financial statements, which includes the adoption of the consolidated financial statements

8. Resolution on the use of profit shown on the balance sheet

The result of the financial period of the Componenta Group was EUR 8.0 million. The result of the financial period of Componenta Corporation was EUR 4.36 million. The distributable funds of Componenta Corporation as of 31 December 2025 were EUR 22.8 million. Profit of the Componenta Group for the financial year was improved by a one-off recognition of a deferred tax asset of EUR 5.7 million, which had no cash flow impact.

The Board of Directors proposes that no dividend will be distributed based on the adopted balance sheet of Componenta Corporation for the financial period ending 31 December 2025 and that the profit for the financial year be retained in unrestricted equity. The company has investment and development projects planned and in progress as part of the Componenta Group’s growth strategy. The Board therefore deems that retaining the profit within the company best supports the implementation of the strategy and long‑term value creation for shareholders.

9. Resolution on the discharge from liability of the members of the Board of Directors and the President and CEO 

10. Advisory resolution on the adoption of the company’s remuneration report for governing bodies

The Board of Directors proposes that the company’s remuneration report for governing bodies for the year 2025 is adopted through an advisory resolution by the Annual General Meeting.

The remuneration report will be available on the company's website from 24 March 2026 at the latest at: https://www.componenta.com/en/investors/corporate-governance/annual-general-meeting-2026/ 

11. Resolution on the remuneration and basis for compensating travel costs of the members of the Board of Directors

The Shareholders’ Nomination Board proposes that remuneration for the members of the Board of Directors remains unchanged.

The Shareholders’ Nomination Board proposes that the members of the Board of Directors who will be elected to the term continuing to the Annual General Meeting 2027 shall be paid annual remuneration as follows: EUR 50,000 to the Chairman and EUR 30,000 to the members of the Board of Directors. If the Board of Directors decides to establish committees, an annual fee of EUR 5,000 will be paid to the members of the Board committees.

In addition, the Nomination Board proposes that a meeting-specific fee of EUR 1,000 will be paid to a Board member who lives outside Finland and travels to Finland for a meeting.

Travel expenses of the members of the Board of Directors will be compensated in accordance with the company’s travel policy.

12. Resolution on the number of members of the Board of Directors

The Nomination Board proposes that four (4) members be elected to the Board of Directors.

13. Election of members of the Board of Directors

The Nomination Board proposes that the current members of the Board of Directors Tomas Hedenborg, Anne Koutonen, Harri Suutari and Lars Wrebo be re-elected as members of the company’s Board of Directors for the term ending at the closing of the next Annual General Meeting. All persons proposed to the Board have given their consent to the position.

All persons proposed to the company’s Board of Directors are independent of the company and its significant shareholders.

Information regarding the proposed members of the Board of Directors is available on the company’s website at

https://www.componenta.com/en/investors/corporate-governance/board-of-directors/ 

When preparing its proposal, the Nomination Board has taken into consideration the Board of Directors’ diversity policy, including its aim to ensure continuity by nominating Board members who have long-term experience of the company’s business. In addition, the Nomination Board has taken into account the recommendation regarding the balanced representation of women and men in the Board. For these reasons the Shareholders’ Nomination Board recommends that the Board of Directors be elected as a whole.

14. Resolution on the remuneration of the auditor

The Board of Directors proposes that remuneration for the auditor be paid in accordance with an invoice approved by the company.

15. Election of auditor

The Board of Directors proposes that the Authorised Audit Firm PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy be elected as the auditor of the company for the term ending at the closing of the next Annual General Meeting.

PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy has informed that, if it is elected as the company’s auditor, Ylva Eriksson, Authorised Public Accountant, will act as the responsible auditor.

16. Resolution on the remuneration of the sustainability reporting assurer

The Board of Directors proposes that remuneration for the sustainability reporting assurer be paid in accordance with an invoice approved by the company.

17. Election of the sustainability reporting assurer

The Board of Directors proposes that the Authorised Sustainability Audit Firm BDO Oy is elected as the sustainability reporting assurer for the term ending at the closing of the next Annual General Meeting.

BDO Oy has informed that, if it is elected as the company’s sustainability reporting assurer, APA, Authorised Sustainability Auditor Laura Castrén will act as the responsible sustainability reporting assurer.

In connection with the directive amending the European Union's sustainability reporting obligations, a legislative amendment has been proposed, as a result of which the company may no longer be subject to the sustainability reporting obligations in force on the date of this notice to the general meeting in the financial year 2026. For this reason, the Board of Directors proposes that the election of the sustainability reporting assurer be made conditional, so that the election becomes effective only if the company is obliged under the law in force at the end of the financial year 2026 to prepare a sustainability report for the financial year 2026 and to obtain an assurance for it.

18. Authorising the Board of Directors to decide on issuing shares 

The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting authorise the Board of Directors to decide on share issues in one or several tranches as follows:

The issuance of shares may be carried out by offering new shares or transferring treasury shares held by the company. 

The total number of shares to be issued or transferred under the authorisation may not exceed
974,504 shares, which corresponds to approximately 9.9 per cent of the current total number of registered shares in the company.

The new shares may be issued and the treasury shares held by the company may be transferred for consideration or without consideration. 

The Board of Directors decides on all terms and conditions for the issue of new shares and the transfer of the company’s own shares. Based on the authorisation, the Board of Directors may decide on a share issue in deviation of the pre-emptive subscription right of the shareholders (directed issue) subject to conditions mentioned in the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act. The authorisation also includes the right to decide on issuing new shares to the company itself without consideration.

For example, the Board of Directors may use the authorisation as compensation in acquisitions, to develop capital structure, to broaden the ownership base, to acquire assets related to the company’s business or to finance or carry out other business transactions, or for other purposes decided by the Board of Directors. However, the authorisation may not be used for the implementation of incentive programs of the company’s management or key personnel.

The authorisation is valid until the closing of the next Annual General Meeting, but no longer than until 30 June 2027 at the latest. For the sake of clarity, the authorisation shall not revoke the authorisation given to the Board of Directors at the general meeting on 13 April 2023 to decide on the issuing shares and special rights entitling to shares for the purposes of incentive plans, based on which a maximum of 400,000 shares can be issued. However, the authorisation revokes other previous non-utilised authorisations to decide on share issuance.

19. Authorising the Board of Directors to decide on issuing shares, stock options and other special rights entitling to shares for the purposes of incentive plans

The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting authorise the Board of Directors to decide on the issue of shares, stock options and other special rights entitling to shares, as referred to in Chapter 10, Section 1 of the Limited Liability Companies Act, in one or several tranches as follows:

The total number of shares to be issued or transferred under the authorisation may not exceed 491,500 shares (including shares issued based on the special rights), which corresponds to approximately 4.99 per cent of all the shares in the company.

The Board of Directors decides on all the conditions of the issue of shares, stock options and other special rights entitling to shares. Pursuant to the authorisation, new shares may be issued and treasury shares held by the company may be transferred. New shares may be issued and treasury shares held by the company may be transferred either for consideration or without consideration. The authorisation also includes the right to decide on issuing new shares to the company itself without consideration.

Based on the authorisation, the Board of Directors may decide on the issue of shares, stock options and other special rights entitling to shares in deviation of the pre-emptive subscription right of the shareholders (directed issue) subject to conditions mentioned in the Limited Liability Companies Act, if there is a weighty financial reason for the company to do so, such as the use of shares for the implementation of the Group’s incentive or reward schemes. Shares, stock options or other special rights entitling to shares may be issued in a directed issue as part of the implementation of the Company’s share-based incentive schemes, such as the implementation of stock options and restricted share plan planned by the Board of Directors. Shares may be issued free of charge on a directed basis, if there is a particularly weighty financial reason from the company’s point of view and taking into account the interest of all its shareholders.   

The authorisation is valid until 14 April 2031. For the sake of clarity, the authorisation shall revoke previous non-utilised authorisations to decide on the issue of shares, stock options and other special rights entitling to shares.
