The authorisation shall be used to set up a formal share repurchase program or for the purpose of offering shareholders generally to sell their shares to the Company, e.g. through auction, provided equal treatment of shareholders is ensured should such offer be made. Shares acquired by the Company hereunder may inter alia be used for the purpose of meeting the Company’s obligations under share option agreements with its employees, and for payment of variable remuneration as per the Company’s Remuneration Policy and variable remuneration framework.

This authorisation shall remain in effect until the Company’s Annual General Meeting in 2025 or 13 September 2025, whichever occurs first. Older authorisations to purchase own shares are cancelled with the approval of this authorisation. Such cancellation shall, however, not affect any repurchase transactions initiated and published prior to that date.

The Annual General Meeting approved amendments to the Bank’s Articles of Association in accordance with recent amendments to Act No. 3/2006 on Annual Accounts and a request by the Resolution Authority that the Bank's Articles of Association are to refer to Act No. 70/2020 on the Resolution of Credit Institutions and Investment Firms.
