2023 Performance-based Share-Savings Plan
The AGM resolved to approve a performance-based share-savings plan (the “2023 Performance-based Share-Savings Plan”). The AGM also resolved to approve the delivery and hedging measures proposed by the
Board of Directors for the 2023 Performance-based Share-Savings Plan.

The program includes up to 90 senior executives in the Fagerhult Group. The participant in the program must acquire shares in Fagerhult at market price to a value between 2.5 percent and 12 percent of the participant's annual base salary. Each acquired share entitles the participant to four performance share rights after a three-year vesting period and each performance share right then entitles to a free share on the conditions set out below.

Following the publication of Fagerhult's interim report for the first quarter of 2026, the participants in the program will be allotted shares in Fagerhult, provided continued employment and that the investment in Fagerhult shares has lasted in its entirety during the same period. In order for the allotment of shares to take place, it is also required that a financial performance target related to earnings per share for the Fagerhult Group during the financial years 2023–2025 is achieved.

The maximum number of shares in Fagerhult that can be issued in accordance with the 2023 Performance-based Share-Savings Plan is limited to 1,344,284, which corresponds to approximately 0.76 percent of the outstanding shares and votes.

Earnings per allotted share are limited to a maximum amount of SEK 149, which corresponds to approximately three times the volume-weighted average share price for Fagerhult shares on Nasdaq Stockholm during February 2023.

The Board of Directors has estimated the average value of each performance share right at approximately SEK 57,50. The total estimated value of the performance share rights amounts to approximately SEK 10.4 million which corresponds to approximately 0.10 percent of Fagerhult's market capitalization as of 1 March, 2023.

The cost of the 2023 Performance-based Share-Savings Plan in the form of personnel costs is estimated to amount to approximately SEK 3.75 million, which corresponds to approximately 0.15 percent of Fagerhult's total personnel costs during the financial year 2022.

The main motives for establishing the 2023 Performance-based Share-Savings Plan are to strengthen the company's ability to recruit and retain employees, spread and increase shareholding among employees and create a group-wide focus for the employees concerned.

Authorisations to the Board regarding acquisition and disposal of own shares
In order to secure the company's commitments under the 2023 Performance-based Share-Savings Plan and to be able to use repurchased shares in connection with possible acquisitions and to be able to adapt the company's capital structure and thereby contribute to increased shareholder value, the AGM resolved to authorize the Board of Directors to, on one or more occasions during the period until the next annual general meeting, acquire own shares on Nasdaq Stockholm to the extent the company holds total shares amounts to a maximum of one tenth of all shares in the company. Acquisitions according to the authorization must take place at a price within the price interval registered at any given time. The AGM further resolved to authorize the Board of Directors to transfer a maximum of 1,344,284  repurchased shares free of charge to participants in the 2023 Performance-based Share-Savings Plan who are entitled to receive allotment of shares in accordance with the terms of the program.

Company name and amendment of the articles of association
The AGM resolved to change AB Fagerhult’s company name to Fagerhult Group AB. The resolution included an associated change in § 1 of the company’s articles association to therein include the resolved company name Fagerhult Group AB.
