    1. Adoption of the financial statements
    1. Resolution on the use of the profit shown on the balance sheet and the distribution of dividend

The Company’s distributable funds on 31 December 2024 amounted to EUR 41,452,510.05, including the loss for the financial period of EUR 282,190.61.

The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that a dividend of EUR 0.01 per share be paid for the financial year 2024. The dividend shall be paid to a shareholder who is registered in the shareholders’ register of the Company held by Euroclear Finland Oy on the record date of the payment, i.e. 2 May 2025. The Board of Directors proposes that the Company shall pay the dividend on 12 May 2025.

If the payment of the dividend is prevented due to applicable law, regulation or unexpected circumstances, the Board will resolve, as soon as practically possible, on a new record date and payment date.

    1. Resolution on the discharge of the members of the Board of Directors and the CEO from liability
    1. Advisory resolution on the adoption of the Company’s remuneration report for governing bodies

The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that the Company’s remuneration report for governing bodies for the year 2024 is adopted through an advisory resolution.

The remuneration report for the governing bodies is available on the Company’s website at https://investors.tecnotree.com/en/investors/corporate_governance/annual_general_meeting_2025.

    1. Resolution on the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors

Upon recommendation of the Nomination Committee, the Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that the annual remuneration payable to the members of the Board of Directors to be elected at the Annual General Meeting for the term until the end of the Annual General Meeting in 2026 be decreased and be as follows:

  • Chairman – EUR 75,000 
  • Vice Chairman – EUR 50,000
  • Other Directors – EUR 30,000

Upon recommendation of the Nomination Committee, the Board of Directors proposes that in addition to the annual remuneration the Board members be entitled to meeting fees as follows:

  • For Board meetings: EUR 2,500 per meeting for the Chairman, EUR 1,500 per meeting for the Vice Chairman, and EUR 1,000 per meeting for other Directors.
  • For Committee meetings: EUR 2,500 per meeting for the Chairman and EUR 1,000 per meeting for other Committee members.

The members of the Board of Directors shall also be entitled to reimbursement of reasonable travel expenses in accordance with the Company’s travel policy.

This proposal reflects a further reduction in the remuneration of the Board of Directors from the previous term. At the 2024 Annual General Meeting, the annual remuneration of the Board of Directors was set at EUR 210,000 for the Chairman, EUR 120,000 for the Vice Chairman, and EUR 70,000 for other Directors, with approximately 45 % of the remuneration payable in Tecnotree Corporation shares and 55 % in cash. However, following cost-optimization measures implemented in 2024, the Board decided to reduce its remuneration by 35 %, effective retroactively from 15 April 2024, resulting in actual fees of EUR 136,500 for the Chairman, EUR 78,000 for the Vice Chairman, and EUR 45,500 for other Directors.

Upon recommendation of the Nomination Committee, the Board of Directors further proposes that for the term until the end of the Annual General Meeting in 2026, all remuneration be paid entirely in cash, with no portion paid in shares.

The Board of Directors believes this revised remuneration structure appropriately reflects the Company’s financial considerations while ensuring fair compensation for Board members.

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

Upon recommendation of the Nomination Committee, the Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that five (5) members be elected to the Board of Directors of the Company.

    1. Election of members of the Board of Directors

Upon recommendation of the Nomination Committee, the Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that the current members of the Board of Directors Mr. Neil  Macleod, Mr. Johan Hammaren, Ms. Jyoti Desai, Mr. Conrad Neil Phoenix and Mr. Anders Fornander be re-elected as members of the Board of Directors. It is proposed that shareholders take a position on the composition of the Board of Directors as a whole.

The members of the Board of Directors are elected for a term that expires at the end of the first Annual General Meeting following the election.

All persons proposed as members of the Board of Directors have given their consent to the election. All are assessed to be independent of the Company and except for Neil Macleod and Conrad Neil Phoenix also independent of the Company’s significant shareholders. More information of the proposed Board members to be elected is available on the Company’s website https://sijoittajat.tecnotree.com/en/investors/corporate_governance/board_of_directors

    1. Election of auditor
