19. Authorising the Board of Directors to decide on the repurchase of the Company’s own shares
The Board of Directors proposes that the Board of Directors be authorised by the Annual General Meeting to decide on the repurchase of a maximum of 10,000,000 of the Company’s own shares in one or more instalments with funds belonging to the Company’s unrestricted equity. This number of shares corresponds to approximately 5.72% of the Company’s total number of shares on the date of the notice to the Annual General Meeting
The authorisation entitles the Board of Directors to decide on the repurchase also in deviation from the proportional holdings of the shareholders (directed repurchase). The authorisation comprises the repurchase of shares either in the public trading or otherwise in the market on the trading price determined for the shares in public trading on the date of purchase, or with a purchase offer to the shareholders in which case the repurchase price must be the same for all shareholders. The Company’s own shares shall be repurchased to be used for carrying out acquisitions or implementing other arrangements related to the Company’s business, for optimising the Company’s capital structure, as part of the implementation of the Company’s incentive scheme or otherwise to be transferred further or cancelled. The authorisation includes the right of the Board of Directors to decide on all other terms related to the repurchase of the Company’s own shares. The authorisation is proposed to be valid until the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting, in any case until no later than 30 June 2026. The authorisation cancels the Company’s prior authorisations concerning the repurchase of the Company’s own shares.
20. Authorising the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of shares and special rights entitling to shares
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorises the Board of Directors to decide on issuance, in one or more instalments, of new shares or shares possibly held by the Company through share issue and/or issuance of option rights or other special rights entitling to shares, referred to in Chapter 10, Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act, so that by virtue of the authorisation altogether 17,000,000 shares may be issued and/or conveyed at the maximum. This number of shares corresponds to approximately 9.73% of the Company’s total number of shares on the date of the notice to the Annual General Meeting.
It is proposed that the authorisation be used for the financing or execution of potential acquisitions or other arrangements or investments relating to the Company’s business, for the implementation of the Company’s incentive scheme or other purposes subject to the Board of Directors’ decision.
It is proposed that the authorisation entitles the Board of Directors to decide on all terms and conditions of the share issue and the issuance of special rights referred to in Chapter 10, Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act. The authorisation thus includes the right to issue shares also in a proportion other than that of the shareholders’ current shareholdings in the Company under the conditions provided in law, the right to issue shares against payment or without charge as well as the right to decide on a share issue without payment to the Company itself, subject to the provisions of the Finnish Companies Act on the maximum amount of treasury shares.
The Board of Directors proposes that the authorisation will be valid until the conclusion of the following Annual General Meeting, however, at the latest until 30 June 2026. The authorisation cancels the Company’s prior authorisations concerning the issuance of shares and special rights entitling to shares.
