Authorisations for the board of directors

The general meeting authorised the board of directors to decide on the repurchase of the company’s shares using the company’s unrestricted equity under the following terms and conditions:

1. The total maximum number of shares to be repurchased under the authorisation is 2,500,000 shares, which corresponds to approximately 10.0% of all the shares in the company.
2. The shares will be repurchased in trading on Nasdaq Helsinki Oy’s regulated market at a price formed in public trading on the date of repurchase. The shares can be repurchased otherwise than in proportion to the existing shareholdings of the company’s shareholders.
3. The shares will be repurchased using the company’s distributable unrestricted equity.
4. This authorisation replaces prior authorisations granted to the board of directors to repurchase the company’s own shares.
5. The authorisation is valid until the end of the annual general meeting of 2025 but in any case no later than 18 months from the general meeting’s resolution on authorisation.

The general meeting authorised the board of directors to decide on the issuance of shares in one or more tranches as well as on the issuance of option rights and other special rights entitling to shares as referred to in chapter 10, section 1 of the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act as follows:

1. The total maximum number of shares to be issued under the authorisation is 2,500,000 shares, which corresponds to approximately 10.0% of all the shares in the company.
2. The board of directors decides on all the terms and conditions regarding the issuance of shares and the issuance of option rights and other special rights entitling to shares. The authorisation concerns both the issuance of new shares and the transfer of the company’s own shares.
3. The share issues, and the issuances of option rights and other special rights entitling to shares can take place in deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emptive subscription right (directed issue) if the company has a weighty financial reason to do so, such as the financing or the implementation of a merger or acquisition, the development of the company’s equity structure or the implementation of the company’s incentive schemes.
4. The total maximum number of shares to be issued for the purpose of implementing the company’s incentive schemes is 250,000 shares, which corresponds to approximately 1.0% of all the shares in the company. For the avoidance of doubt, the above number of shares to be issued for the implementation of incentive schemes is included in the overall number of the issuance authorisation referred to in section 1 above.
5. Based on the authorisation, the board of directors is also authorised to decide on a share issue without payment directed to the company itself, provided that the number of shares held by the company after the issue would be a maximum of 10% of all the shares in the company. This amount includes shares that may be held by the company and its subsidiaries in the manner provided for in chapter 15, section 11, subsection 1 of the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act.
6. The authorisation replaces prior share issue authorisations granted to the board of directors.
7. The authorisation is valid until the end of the annual general meeting of 2025, but in any case no later than 18 months from the general meeting’s resolution on share issue authorisation.
