Resolution on a warrant program in Bokusgruppen AB (publ) through a directed issue of warrants to the participants

The annual general meeting resolved to adopt a warrant program under which the company invites certain key employees to subscribe for warrants of series 2023/2026 in the company. Each warrant shall entitle the holder to, during the period from and including 11 May 2026 up until and including 31 May 2026, subscribe for one new share in Bokusgruppen. The future exercise price for an ordinary share based on a warrant amounts to SEK 47.00 per ordinary share. The right to subscribe for warrants shall be granted to five persons in total: Bokusgruppen’s CFO as well as four other senior executives. The resolution means that the company adopts a warrant program through a directed issue of not more than 300,000 warrants of series 2023/2026 to the participants. If all 300,000 warrants of series 2023/2026 are exercised for subscription of 300,000 new shares in the company, a dilution effect of approximately 1.8 per cent will occur (calculated on the current number of shares in Bokusgruppen).
