Adoption of instruction for the Nomination Committee

The AGM resolved, in accordance with the Board's proposal, to adopt instructions for the Nomination Committee to apply until further notice.

Long-term incentive program (LTI 2025)

Implementation of LTI 2025

In addition, the AGM resolved, in accordance with the Board's proposal, to adopt a performance-based long-term incentive programme ("LTI 2025") comprising a maximum of 145,000 Clas Ohlson series B shares. LTI 2025 is open to no more than 50 employees of senior management and other key employees of the Clas Ohlson Group, and entitles the participant to receive an allotment of Clas Ohlson series B shares after a vesting period that runs until the publication date for the first interim report of the 2028/2029 financial year, on the condition that the performance conditions concerning net sales, earnings per share and sustainability are met. LTI 2025 aims to, inter alia, attract and retain senior management in a cost-efficient and competitive manner.

Repurchase and transfer of own shares in connection with LTI 2025

The Board's proposal regarding the repurchase and transfer of own shares in connection with LTI 2025 was not approved by the AGM with the required majority.

Equity swap agreement with a third party

As the AGM resolved not to approve the Board's proposal on repurchase and transfer of own shares in connection with LTI, the AGM resolved, in accordance with the Board's proposal, that the expected financial exposure of LTI 2025 shall be hedged by Clas Ohlson AB being able to enter into an equity swap agreement with a third party on terms in accordance with market practice, whereby the third party in its own name shall be entitled to acquire and transfer shares in Clas Ohlson to the participants.

Authorisation to repurchase and transfer own shares

The AGM resolved, in accordance with the Board's proposal, to authorise the Board to, on one or more occasions during the period until the 2026 Annual General Meeting, to resolve on the repurchase and transfer of the company's own series B shares. Under the authorisation, the maximum number of series B shares may be repurchased so the company following each acquisition holds no more than 5 per cent of the total number of shares in the company. The shares may only be acquired on Nasdaq Stockholm at a price within the from time to time registered trading interval.

Transfer under the authorisation may comprise all own series B shares held by the company from time to time and may be made through trading on Nasdaq Stockholm or by other means with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights. The shares may only be transferred on Nasdaq Stockholm at a price within trading interval for the share applicable at any time. The price used in transfers by other means must be decided so it does not fall below what is market-based, subject to market-based discounts where applicable.

The purpose of the authorisation to repurchase and transfer own shares is to offer the Board of Directors greater flexibility in work with the company's capital structure and thereby contribute to shareholder value, to enable the company to finance acquisitions using own shares, to cover certain expenses, primarily social security contributions, that may arise due to the incentive programmes outstanding and so that the company can transfer such shares repurchased within the framework of previous incentive programmes but have not been required for delivery of shares to participants in the incentive programmes.

The company currently holds 2,147,196 own series B shares.

Authorisation to issue new shares

The AGM resolved, in accordance with the Board's proposal, to authorise the Board to, with or without deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights and on one or more occasions during the period until the 2026 Annual General Meeting, resolve to increase the company's share capital through the issue of series B shares. Issue resolutions based on the authorisation may not entail that the total number of series B shares that may be issued corresponds to more than ten percent of the share capital in the company at the time of the AGM's resolution on authorisation.
