Resolution on a performance stock unit program
The meeting resolved, in accordance with the board of director's proposal, to implement a long-term incentive program for 2024 ("LTI 2024"). LTI 2024 is based on performance stock units ("PSUs") and includes up to approximately 480 senior executives, key personnel and other employees within the company group.
The maximum number of PSUs that may be awarded is 700,000. Each vested PSU shall entitle the holder to receive one share in the company. PSUs are vested yearly during a three-year period. Vesting of PSUs is subject to both two performance conditions and continued employment within the company group. The performance conditions include fulfilment of two financial performance conditions relating to the company's revenue growth and EBIT margin during performance periods corresponding to each of the financial years 2024, 2025 and 2026.
To secure the delivery of shares pursuant to LTI 2024 and to cover any costs (including taxes and social security costs), the meeting resolved, deviating from the shareholders' preferential rights, to issue a maximum of 762,598 warrants, entitling to subscription of new shares in the company. The meeting also resolved that the company may transfer the warrants (i) to the participants or to a designated third party, for the purpose of delivering shares to the participants in accordance with the terms and conditions of LTI 2024, including to a designated third party under a share swap arrangement, and (ii) at a price equal to the fair market value of the warrants using a customary valuation method to a designated third party for the purpose of covering any costs (including taxes and social security costs) under LTI 2024.
The maximum dilution for current shareholders due to LTI 2024 is 0.80 per cent (0.9 per cent including warrants issued to cover any costs) of the current total number of outstanding shares in the company upon full vesting and full exercise of warrants under LTI 2024.
Issue authorisation
The meeting authorised the board of directors to resolve to issue new shares in the company on one or several occasions for the period up to the next Annual General Meeting, to the extent that such new issue can be made without amending the articles of association. An issue may be made with or without deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights. Based on the authorization, the board of directors may resolve to issue a number of new shares corresponding to a maximum of ten percent of the total number of outstanding shares in the company at the time of the Annual General Meeting.
