The Board of Directors is authorised to resolve on all terms of the share issue. The Board of Directors is authorised to resolve on a directed share issue in deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emptive rights, provided that there is a weighty financial reason for the company to do so, such as using the shares to develop the company’s capital structure, as compensation in connection with possible acquisitions or other corporate transactions, to finance investments or to be used as part of the company’s incentive scheme, provided that a directed share issue is in the interest of the company and its shareholders.
The authorisation is valid until the close of next Annual General Meeting, however no longer than until 30 June 2024.

However, the company together with its subsidiaries cannot at any moment own and/or hold as pledge more than 10 per cent of all the shares in the company. Only the unrestricted equity of the company can be used to repurchase own shares on the basis of the authorisation. Own shares can be repurchased at a price formed in public trading on the date of the repurchase or otherwise at a price formed on the market.
The Board of Directors decides how own shares will be repurchased and accepted as pledge. Own shares can be repurchased using, inter alia, derivatives. Own shares can be repurchased otherwise than in proportion to the shareholdings of the shareholders (directed repurchase). The shares may be repurchased in one or more tranches.
Own shares can be repurchased, inter alia, to limit the dilutive effects of share issues carried out in connection with possible acquisitions, to develop the company’s capital structure, to be transferred in connection with possible acquisitions, to be used in incentive schemes or to be cancelled, provided that the repurchase is in the interest of the company and its shareholders.
The authorisation is valid until the close of next Annual General Meeting, however no longer than until 30 June 2024.

The shares, option rights and other special rights entitling to shares may be issued in one or more tranches. The Board of Directors may use the authorisation to issue shares, option rights and other special rights as part of the management and employee incentive schemes of the company.
