Acquisition of own shares shall be made on Nasdaq Stockholm and own shares may be acquired to the extent the company’s holdings of own shares in total amounts to no more than one-tenth of all shares in the company. The reasons for the authorisation to resolve on acquisition of own shares are to be able to improve the company’s capital structure, to enable share transfers in accordance with the authorisation resolution for the board to transfer own shares, and to increase the flexibility for the board in connection with potential future corporate acquisitions.
Transfer of own shares may be made either on Nasdaq Stockholm or in another manner. The maximum number of shares that may be transferred is the total number of own shares held by the company at the time of the board’s resolution to transfer the shares. The reasons for the authorisation to resolve on transfer of own shares and for the disapplication from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights are to be able to improve the company’s capital structure and to increase the flexibility of the board in connection to potential future corporate acquisitions, by facilitating fast and cost-efficient financing by divesting holdings of own shares.
