The acquisition of ordinary shares in JM AB may only occur on Nasdaq Stockholm. The authorization may be utilized on one or more occasions, although no longer than up until the 2024 AGM. The number of ordinary shares that may be acquired is limited such that the Company’s holdings do not at any point in time exceed ten (10) percent of all the Company’s shares. The acquisition of ordinary shares in JM AB on Nasdaq Stockholm may only occur at a price within the current spread on Nasdaq Stockholm, which refers to the spread between the highest bid price and the lowest ask price. The objective of this authorization is to give the Board of Directors greater freedom of action and the possibility to adjust the Company’s capital structure on a continuous basis.

To restore the share capital after the reduction in share capital, the AGM resolved to increase the share capital by 3,774,001 through a bonus issue without the issue of new shares, thereby transferring the reduction amount from unrestricted equity. Overall, neither the share capital nor restricted equity have been reduced.
