Furthermore, the AGM resolved to transfer, to the option holders, 300,000 of the Company's repurchased shares in conjunction with the possible exercise of the call options.

Repurchase of own shares
The AGM resolved in accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors to authorise the Board of Directors to acquire and sell shares in the Company, on one or more occasions, such authorisation to remain valid until the next AGM. The purpose of such repurchases is to allow for adjustments of the Group’s capital structure and to enable the Company to make future acquisitions of companies or businesses with payment in the Company’s own shares. By holding shares in treasury, the Company is also assuring its obligations under the share based incentive programs resolved at the AGM 2015, AGM 2016 and AGM 2017 and the call option Scheme resolved at today’s AGM.

Acquisitions shall be made on Nasdaq Stockholm at a price within the price range registered at any given time, which is the interval between the highest purchase price and the lowest sale price.
