Acquisition of the company’s own shares can be made on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm at a price within the applicable stock market share price range at the time of the acquisition, for the purpose of increasing the flexibility of the board in connection with potential future corporate acquisitions, to cover costs and ensure delivery of shares in accordance with LTI 2010, and to increase the board’s possibilities to continuously be able to adapt the company’s capital structure, thereby contributing to increased shareholder value. The company’s total holdings of own shares must not at any time exceed 10 per cent of the total number of shares in the company.

Transfer of own shares can be made either on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm or in any other manner, for the purpose of financing possible future corporate acquisitions, up to the number of own shares held by the company at the time of transfer. Transfer of own shares may be made with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights and shall be made at a price determined in close connection to the shares’ quoted price at the time of the board’s resolution on transfer.
