Authorizing the Board of Directors to decide on the repurchase of the company’s own shares
The General Meeting resolved to authorize the Board of Directors to decide on the repurchase of the company’s own shares in one or several instalments using funds belonging to the unrestricted equity of the company in such a way that the maximum number of shares to be repurchased is 2,777,146 shares. The proposed number of shares corresponds to five (5) percent of all the shares in the company.
Own shares can be repurchased at a price formed in public trading on the date of the repurchase or otherwise at a price formed on the market.
The authorization also entitles the Board of Directors to resolve on a repurchase of shares otherwise than in proportion to the shares owned by the shareholders (directed purchase). In that case, there must exist a weighty financial reason for the company for the repurchase of its own shares.
The shares may be repurchased in order to develop the capital structure of the company, to finance possible acquisitions, investments, or other arrangements included in the company's business, as well as to implement the company’s share-based incentive scheme or otherwise to be further transferred, held by the company, or invalidated. The repurchase of the company’s own shares reduces the unrestricted equity of the company.
The authorization remains in force until the conclusion of the following Annual General Meeting, however, until 30 June 2027 at the latest. The authorization revokes the authorization for repurchasing the company’s own shares granted to the Board of Directors by the Annual General Meeting on 7 May 2025.

Authorizing the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of shares
The General Meeting resolved to authorize the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of shares in one or several instalments. The number of shares to be issued based on the authorization may not exceed 5,554,292 shares. The proposed number of shares corresponds to 10 percent of all shares in the company as at the date of the notice of the General Meeting. Of the shares to be issued under authorization, up to 2,000,000 shares may be used for the implementation of incentive schemes or otherwise for remuneration purposes. The authorization includes the right to resolve to issue either new shares or to transfer treasury shares, either against payment or without payment.
The new shares may be issued or the treasury shares transferred in deviation from the shareholder’s pre-emptive rights (directed issue) if there exists a weighty financial reason for the company for this. The Board of Directors resolves on all other conditions and matters pertaining to the issuance of shares and transfer of treasury shares.
The authorization may be used inter alia for developing the capital structure of the company, financing possible acquisitions, investments, or other arrangements included in the company's business, as well as for expanding the ownership base and implementing the company’s share-based incentive schemes.
The authorization remains in force until the conclusion of the following Annual General Meeting, however, until 30 June 2027 at the latest. This authorization revokes the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting held on 7 May 2025 to the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of shares.
