Resolution to exercise the authorization to repurchase own shares

Today, the board of directors of Synsam AB (publ) ("Synsam" or the "Company") has, pursuant to the authorization provided by the annual general meeting held on 26 April 2024, resolved to acquire own shares in order to adjust the Company's capital structure.

According to the board of directors' resolution, acquisition of own shares under the share buy-back program shall be carried out in accordance with the EU Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 ("MAR") and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 (the "Safe Harbour Regulation"). Acquisitions of shares will be carried out by an investment firm or credit institution that make its trading decisions regarding the timing of the acquisitions of Synsam's shares independently of Synsam.

The share buy-back program is subject to the following conditions:

• Acquisitions of own shares shall be made on Nasdaq Stockholm in accordance with Nasdaq's rulebook for issuers (Nasdaq Nordic Main Market Rulebook for Issuers of Shares), MAR and the Safe Harbour Regulation.
• Acquisitions of own shares can be made from 22 November 2024 until the date of the 2025 annual general meeting.
• The Company may not repurchase more than such number of shares which entails that the total number of own shares held by the Company at any given time exceeds 10 per cent of the total number of shares in the Company. The maximum purchase amount is MSEK 160.
• Repurchases of the Company's own shares on Nasdaq Stockholm may only be made at a price within the range between the highest bid price and lowest ask price at any given time.
• Payment for the acquired shares shall be made in cash.

The purpose of the repurchases of shares under the share buy-back program is to adjust Synsam's capital structure by reducing its share capital. Accordingly, the board of directors intends to propose to the 2025 annual general meeting that the repurchased shares are redeemed.

The total number of outstanding shares in Synsam currently amounts to 150,000,000, and the Company currently holds 2,176,252 own shares.
