- Repurchases may only be made in accordance with the restrictions regarding volume for acquisitions of own shares stated in the Rulebook and in the Safe Harbour Regulation.
- Repurchases may be made for a total amount of no more than SEK 100,000,000.

- Payment for the shares shall be made in cash.
