The introduction of a performance based long-term share program for 2023, including resolution to transfer own shares to the participants
The Annual General Meeting decided to implement a performance based long-term share program ("Share Program 2023").

Authorisation for the Board to resolve on repurchases of the company's own shares
The Annual General Meeting resolved upon an authorisation for the board to resolve on repurchases of own shares. A maximum number of shares may be repurchased so that the company's holding does not at any time exceed ten (10) percent of all shares in Billerud. Acquisitions shall only be conducted on Nasdaq Stockholm and at a price that is within the price range for the share price prevailing at any time (the so-called spread), i.e. the range between the highest ask price and the lowest bid price.

Furthermore, the Annual General Meeting decided on discharge from personal liability for the Board members and the CEO for their administration for the year 2022, fees for the Board members and remuneration for committee work, fees for the Auditor and to approve the remuneration report for 2022.
