Swedish Court Reschedules Delivery of Judgment in PriceRunner vs Google Antitrust Case

Klarna Group plc (NYSE: KLAR) wishes to update investors that the Patent and Market Court in Stockholm, Sweden (Patent- och marknadsdomstolen) has postponed delivery of its judgment in the antitrust damages proceedings brought by PriceRunner, a Klarna subsidiary, against Google.

The Court has rescheduled publication of its judgment from 15 April to 10 June, 2026 at 11:00 CET. In its notification, the Court stated that "additional time is needed to finalize the judgment." The Court provided no further reason for the rescheduling.

Important Notice

The outcome of the proceedings is inherently uncertain. No assurance can be given that PriceRunner will succeed on liability or quantum. Any award would be subject to appeal by Google, to sharing arrangements with former PriceRunner shareholders and Klarna’s litigation funder, and to applicable taxation. The dollar amount of the claim should not be taken as an indication of any likely recovery. This announcement does not constitute a profit forecast.
