The maximum total of shares that will be acquired and/or accepted as a pledge corresponds to approximately 10% of all shares in the company as of the date of the notice. However, the company cannot, together with its subsidiaries, own or accept as a pledge altogether more than 10% of its all shares at any point in time.

Shares will be acquired otherwise than in proportion to the holdings of the shareholders via public trading arranged by Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd at the market price that applies on the date of the acquisition or otherwise at a price formed on the market. Shares can be acquired and/or accepted as a pledge e.g. in order to execute a transaction or implement share-based incentive schemes or for other purposes as decided by the Board of Directors or otherwise for the purposes of further assignation, retention or cancellation. The Board of Directors is authorised to decide on all other terms and conditions that will apply to the acquisition and/or acceptance as a pledge of the company’s own shares.

The authorisation is valid until the closing of the next Annual General Meeting, however, no longer than 30 June 2024.

Authorising the Board of Directors to resolve on the issuance of shares and the issuance of option rights and other special rights entitling to shares

The number of shares to be issued, including the shares received on the basis of the option rights and other special rights, may not exceed 4,261,694 shares, which amounts to approximately 10% of all shares in the company as of the date of the notice. The Board of Directors may decide to either issue new shares or to assign company shares that are held by the company.

The authorisation entitles the Board of Directors to decide on all terms and conditions that will apply to the share issue and to the issuance of option rights or other special rights entitling to shares, including the right to derogate from the shareholders’ pre-emptive right. The shares can be used as consideration in transactions, as part of the company’s incentive schemes or for other purposes as decided by the Board of Directors.

The authorisation remains in force until the end of the next Annual General Meeting, however not for longer than until 30 June 2024. This authorisation will revoke any existing, unused authorisations to decide on a share issue and the issuance of option rights or other special rights entitling to shares.
