By virtue of the authorisation, the Board of Directors can resolve on the repurchase of a total maximum of 700,000 treasury shares by using the company’s non-restricted equity. The proposed maximum number of shares that can be repurchased equals to approximately 5.20 percent of the company’s all shares at the publication date of this release.

Treasury shares are repurchased otherwise than in proportion to the existing shareholdings of the company’s shareholders in public trading at the market price quoted at the time of purchase. Treasury shares are repurchased and paid pursuant to the rules of Euroclear Finland Oy and conducted in accordance with the Market Abuse Regulations (EU) N:o 596/2014. The Board of Directors has the authority to decide on all other matters pertaining to the repurchase of treasury shares.

The authorisation is valid until the close of the company’s following Annual General Meeting, but no longer than 18 months from the date of the Annual General Meeting’s resolution. The authorisation replaces the share repurchase authorisation given to the Board of Directors by the company’s Annual General Meeting held on April 13, 2022.

The Annual General Meeting granted the Board of Directors an authorisation to resolve on the issuance of new shares, treasury shares and special rights to shares in one or several instalments with the following terms:

By virtue of the authorisation, the Board of Directors can resolve on the issuance of a maximum total of 700,000 new shares or treasury shares held by the company either against payment or without payment.

The new shares, treasury shares held by the company and special rights to shares may also be issued in deviation from shareholders’ pre-emptive subscription right in a directed issuance if there is a weighty financial reason for doing so from the company’s point of view. The Board of Directors has the authority to decide on all other matters pertaining to the issuances of shares and special rights to shares.

The authorisation is valid until the close of the company’s following Annual General Meeting, but no longer than 18 months from the date of the Annual General Meeting’s resolution.

Amendment of the Articles of Association

The Annual General Meeting resolved to amend Article 9 of the company’s Articles of Association so that the Board of Directors can decide that a General Meeting is held without a physical meeting venue. In its amended form, Article 9 of the company’s Articles of Association will read as follows:

“9 § General Meetings

The Annual General Meeting shall be held annually within six months from the termination of the financial year on a date determined by the Board of Directors. Extraordinary General Meetings shall be held whenever the Board of Directors considers it necessary, or if the auditor or shareholders, representing no less than a tenth of all shares issued by the company, request in writing that a General Meeting is to be held in order to discuss a specific matter. General Meetings of the company may be held in a venue decided by the Board of Directors in Espoo, Helsinki or Vantaa, Finland.

The Board of Directors may also decide that the General Meeting will be held without a meeting venue so that shareholders exercise their decision-making power during the meeting in full and in real time using telecommunication connections and technical means (remote meeting).“

The Annual General Meeting minutes will be available at the latest by April 27, 2023, on the company’s website at investors.remedygames.com/annual-general-meeting-2023/.
