Resolution on guidelines for remuneration to the senior management

Resolution on long-term incentive program (LTIP 2025) and certain hedging arrangements for the program

The annual general meeting resolved, in accordance with the board's proposal, on the implementation of a long-term incentive program (LTIP 2025). LTIP 2025 has essentially the same design as the long-term incentive program adopted at the annual general meeting 2024. Participation in LTIP 2025 requires that the participant makes a personal investment in Scandi Standard shares in relation to a fixed percentage of the participants fixed salary. LTIP 2025 comprises a maximum of 33 participants and a maximum of 474,000 ordinary shares may be allotted to the participants subject to the completion of certain vesting and performance requirements during a three-year vesting period, which will be followed by a two-year lock-up period.

For the purpose of ensuring delivery of ordinary shares to the participants in LTIP 2025 as well as securing and covering costs triggered by LTIP 2025, the annual general meeting resolved on an authorisation for the board to resolve on acquisitions of a maximum of 474,000 own ordinary shares, and that a maximum of 365,400 own ordinary shares may be transferred to the participants free of charge in accordance with the terms and conditions of LTIP 2025. Since the company already holds 733,726 own ordinary shares in treasury and not more than 633,500 ordinary shares may be allotted under the already outstanding incentive programs, the company may acquire a lower number of ordinary shares than what is covered by the proposed authorisation.

Resolution on authorisation for the board of directors to resolve on acquisitions and transfers of own ordinary shares

The annual general meeting resolved to authorise the board to, on one or several occasions before the next annual general meeting, resolve on acquisitions of so many ordinary shares that the company's holding of own shares, following each acquisition, amounts to a maximum of ten per cent of all shares in the company, at a price within the at each time prevailing price interval for the ordinary share on Nasdaq Stockholm. Payment for the ordinary shares shall be made in cash and the purpose of an acquisition of own ordinary shares shall be to (i) optimise the company's capital structure, (ii) enable the use of own ordinary shares as consideration for or as financing of acquisitions of companies or businesses or (iii) to secure delivery of ordinary shares to the participants in the company's long-term share-related incentive programs and to cover costs related thereto.

In addition, the annual general meeting resolved to authorise the board to, on one or several occasions before the next annual general meeting, resolve on transfers of so many ordinary shares held by the company at the time of the board of directors' resolution. Transfers may be made on Nasdaq Stockholm, at a price per ordinary share within the at each time prevailing price interval for the ordinary share, as well as by other means than on Nasdaq Stockholm. Transfers of own ordinary shares by other means than on Nasdaq Stockholm shall be made at market terms and payment may be made in cash, in kind or by set-off. Transfers of own ordinary shares by other means than on Nasdaq Stockholm may be made with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights. Where made with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, the reason for the deviation shall be to use own shares as consideration for or as financing of acquisitions of companies or businesses.
