The Board of Directors proposes that a dividend of SEK 4.75 per share, totaling SEK 61,204,842.50, will be paid and that the remaining available earnings of approximately SEK 167,943,121, be carried forward.
The record date for the payment is proposed to be Friday May 16, 2025, and if the Annual General Meeting decides in accordance with the proposal, the dividend is expected to be paid through Euroclear Sweden AB on Wednesday May 21, 2025.
Item 13 - Resolution on the approval of the Remuneration Report
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to approve the Board of Directors' Remuneration Report in accordance with Chapter 8, Section 53 (a) of the Swedish Companies Act.
Item 14 - Resolution authorising the Board of Directors to decide on a new issue of class B shares
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves upon that the Board of Directors shall be authorised to, on one or several occasions for the period until the next Annual General Meeting, decide on new issues of class B shares of a maximum of 1,288,523 class B shares in the company, entailing a share capital increase of a maximum of SEK 3,221,307.50, corresponding to approximately ten per cent of all shares in the company, at the time for the Annual General Meeting.
New issues of shares may be made with or without derogation from the shareholders' pre-emption rights, against payment in cash or with provision for payment in kind or set-off or otherwise subject to conditions. The purpose of the authorisation is to raise capital in connection with company acquisitions or, alternatively, to enable shares to be used as liquidity in such acquisitions. In the event of derogation from the shareholders' pre-emption rights, the issue shall be carried out on market terms.
It is further proposed that the Annual General Meeting authorise the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer or a person appointed by the Board of Directors, to make such minor adjustments as may appear necessary in connection with the registration of the resolution by the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
Item 15 - Resolution authorising the Board of Directors to decide on aqusitions of own class B shares

- Aqusitions of own shares may take place partly through an offer addressed to all shareholders, partly through trading on Nasdaq Stockolm.
- Aqusitions of own shares may take place so that the company's holding of own shares in total amounts to not more than one tenth of all the shares in the company.
- Aqusitions of own shares must take place in cash and at a price within the stock market price interval registered at any given time, such interval being the interval between the highest purchase price and the lowest sale price.
The purpose of the authorisation to acquire own class B shares is partly to be able to adapt the company's capital structure and partly to enable the company, through payment of own shares, finance future acquisitions of companies or operations.
The Board of Directors has issued a statement in accordance with Chapter 19, Section 22 of the Swedish Companies Act.
Item 16 - Resolution regarding long-term incentive program 2025/2028
The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting resolves to issue warrants and to approve subsequent transfer of these warrants in accordance with the following.
A. Issue of warrants
The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting resolves on a directed issue of not more than 500,000 warrants, entailing an increase in the share capital if fully exercised by not more than SEK 1,250,000. The resolution shall otherwise be governed by the following terms and conditions.
- The right to subscribe for the warrants shall, with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, vest in the company. The company shall transfer warrants to employees in the Prevas Group in accordance with item B below.
- Oversubscription may not occur.
- The reason for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is that the warrants are included in an incentive program for certain persons who are or will be employed by the company or its subsidiaries. The Board of Directors considers that the company should promote the company's long-term financial interests by encouraging the employees to become stakeholders in the company.
- The warrants are issued without consideration to the company.
- Subscription of the warrants must occur by May 21, 2025 at the latest. The Board of Directors has the right to extend the subscription period.
- The warrants may be exercised to subscribe for new shares during a period of two weeks from the date of publication of the interim report for the period April 1 - June 30, 2028, but no later than two weeks from and including August 31, 2028.
- Each warrant shall entitle the holder to subscribe for one (1) new share of class B in the company at a subscription price corresponding to an amount amounting to 130 % of the volume-weighted average price of the company's share during a period of 21 trading days between April 11, 2025 and May 14, 2025. However, the subscription price may not be less than the quota value of the share.
- Payment for subscribed shares of class B that exceeds the quota value of the shares shall be added in full to the unrestricted share premium reserve.
- Shares of class B that have been issued as a result of subscription entitle to dividends for the first time on the record date for dividends that occurs after the new shares have been entered into the share register kept by Euroclear Sweden AB.
- Warrants held by the company that have not been transferred in accordance with item B or that are later repurchased from participants, may either be re-sold to employees of the company or its subsidiaries or cancelled by the company following a decision by the Board of Directors of the company. Cancellation must be reported to the Swedish Companies Registration Office for registration.
- Other terms and conditions are available on the company's website.
B. Approval of allotment of warrants
1. Eligible for acquisition
The right to acquire warrants from the company will accrue to key employees in the Prevas Group, who are divided into two categories. Category 1 consists of key employees of the operational management or persons who are of particular importance to the company's continued development and category 2 consists of other key employees, divided into the following maximum number of participants:
Category 1: Maximum 30 participants
Category 2: Maximum 70 participants
Each participant in each category has the right to acquire a predetermined number of warrants, however not more than as set out below. If a participant does not acquire all warrants that he/she is entitled to, other participants within the same category shall be given the opportunity to acquire additional warrants up to a certain limit, see the maximum level per participant in parentheses below.
Category 1: 30,000 warrants (maximum 40,000 warrants)
Category 2: 15,000 warrants (maximum 20,000 warrants)
The right to acquire warrants from the company shall only accrue to those persons who, at the time of allotment, have not resigned or been terminated and have entered into a pre-emption agreement with the company. The allotment of the warrants will not exceed the total number of warrants in accordance with item A above.
Warrants may also be offered to new future employees in the event that the company has unsold and/or repurchased warrants. For such acquisitions, the terms and conditions shall be the same or equivalent to what is set out in this resolution. This means, among other things, that acquisitions must be made at the current market value.
Allotment presupposes that acquisition of warrants is legally possible and that it can, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, be made with reasonable administrative and financial efforts.
2. Pre-emption in the event of transfer and termination of employment
The warrants shall otherwise be subject to customary terms and conditions, which means, among other things, that the warrants shall be subject to an obligation for participants who wish to transfer or otherwise dispose of the warrants to a third party to first offer the company or its subsidiaries to acquire the warrants. The warrants shall further be subject to a right for the company or its subsidiaries to repurchase if a participant's employment with the company is terminated, or if the employee has resigned or been dismissed, during the term of the program.
3. Sales period
The warrants shall be transferred to key employees in the Prevas Group. The intention is that the majority of the warrants shall be transferred to existing key employees in close connection with the Annual General Meeting. However, there shall be a flexibility that enables unsold warrants and/or repurchased warrants to be transferred to future employees, but no later than June 30, 2026, whereby notification of acquisition of warrants shall be made no later than May 31, 2026.
4. Price and payment
The warrants shall be transferred on market terms at a price (premium) determined on the basis of a calculated market value for the warrants by application of a generally accepted valuation model (Black & Scholes). For any acquisitions made by new employees, a new market price shall be determined in the same way. The value has preliminarily been calculated to SEK 6.70 per warrant based on a share price of SEK 99.79, a subscription price per share of SEK 135.90 and a volatility of 30 %. The preliminary valuation has been carried out by BDO.
C. Further information about the warrant program
1. Dilution
Upon full exercise of all warrants, 500,000 new shares of class B may be issued, which corresponds to a dilution of 3.7 per cent of the total number of shares in the company and 2.9 per cent of the total number of votes in the company, however, subject to the recalculation of the number of shares that each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for that may occur as a result of certain issues etc.
2. Costs for the company etc.
As the warrants shall be transferred on market terms, no costs for social security costs should arise as a result of the warrant program. Against this background, there is no reason for the company to hedge the warrant program in this regard. In addition, it can be noted that the Board of Directors does not expect that the company will incur other costs to secure the warrant program.
Overall, the Board of Directors deems that the subscription price and the term of the warrants, as well as the principles for allotment of warrants to the employees, are reasonable in light of market practice and the company's need to be able to stimulate key employees' work effort by offering to participate in the warrant program.
3. Other share-based incentive programs
Incentive Program 2023/2026
The company has an ongoing warrant program which was launched in 2023, Incentive Program 2023/2026, which comprises 47,500 warrants with a term until September 2026 and an exercise price of SEK 189. Upon full exercise of all warrants in Incentive Program 2023/2026, 47,500 shares of class B may be issued, which corresponds to a dilution of approximately 0.4 per cent of the total number of shares in the company and approximately 0.3 per cent of the total number of votes in the company. The warrants have been measured at fair value using the Black & Scholes model.
Incentive Program 2024/2027
The company also has an ongoing warrant program which was launched in 2024, Incentive Program 2024/2027, which comprises 500,000 warrants with a term until December 2027 and an exercise price of SEK 160.65. Of the issued warrants, 53,000 warrants were allotted to participants in the program. Upon full exercise of all allotted warrants in Incentive Program 2024/2027, 53,000 shares of class B may be issued, which corresponds to a dilution of approximately 0.4 per cent of the total number of shares in the company and approximately 0.3 per cent of the total number of votes in the company. The warrants have been measured at fair value using the Black & Scholes model.
4. Promoting the company's long-term value creation
In order for the program to have an economic value for the participants, it is required that the share price exceeds the subscription price during the period when the warrants can be exercised. The company deems that the share price is a good indication that the participants have contributed to long-term value creation for the company.
5. Preparation of the proposal
The warrant program has been prepared by the company's Board of Directors with the support of Advokatfirman Lindahl KB.
6. Authorisation and decision-making rules
The General Meeting instructs the Board of Directors of the company to execute the resolution in accordance with item A above and to carry out the transfer of warrants in accordance with item B above.
The Board of Directors, or a person appointed by the Board of Directors, shall be authorised to make the minor adjustments required for the registration of the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
