Long-term incentive plan by issue of call options and transfer of shares to participants
The Meeting resolved in accordance with the Board's proposal to introduce a share based long-term incentive plan ("LTIP 2023"). LTIP 2023 will include the Group Management and about seventy additional employees with leading positions within the Addnode Group, under which the participants are being given the opportunity to acquire, at market price, call options relating to class B shares in Addnode Group, repurchased by the Company.

The number of call options to be issued shall not exceed 440,000, corresponding to approximately 0.33 per cent of the total number of shares and approximately 0.26 per cent of the total number of votes in Addnode Group. Each call option entitles the holder to acquire one (1) repurchased class B share in the company during certain periods following publication of the interim report for the period July‑September 2026, the year-end report for 2026 and the interim report for the period January‑March 2027.

The reason for deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights and the Board's reasons for carrying out this LTIP 2023 is that employees with leading positions within the Addnode Group should, by a personal investment, be able to benefit from and encourage a positive value growth in Addnode Group's shares, thus more closely aligning the interests between them and the company's shareholders. The purpose of LTIP 2023 is also to contribute towards employees with leading positions increasing their long-term shareholdings in Addnode Group. LTIP 2023 is also expected to create conditions for retaining and recruiting skilled personnel to the Addnode Group and to provide competitive remuneration.

Authorization regarding acquisitions and transfer of the company's own B shares
The Meeting resolved in accordance with the Board's proposal to authorize the Board to resolve, on one or several occasions prior to the next Annual General Meeting, to acquire a maximum number of series B shares so that the company's holding following the acquisition does not exceed ten per cent of all the shares in the company at any time. Furthermore, the Meeting authorized the Board to resolve, on one or several occasions, prior to the next Annual General Meeting, to transfer series B shares in the company to a third party. The number of shares transferred may not exceed the total number of shares held by the company at any time. The reason for permitting the Board to deviate from the preferential rights of shareholders is primarily to enable financing of potential acquisitions of companies and other types of strategic investments in a cost-effective manner and also to enable the delivery of shares related to execution of the company's long-term share based incentive programs. 

Authorization to resolve on issue of new B shares
The Meeting resolved in accordance with the Board's proposal to authorize the Board to resolve, on one or several occasions, prior to the next Annual General Meeting, with or without deviation from the preferential rights of shareholders, on a new issues of B shares. Based on the resolution, with the support of an authorization, it shall be possible to increase the number of class B shares by not more than ten percent based on the number of outstanding class B shares at the time of the first use of the authorization. The authorization shall also encompass the right to decide on a new B share issue stipulating payment in kind or that shares shall be subscribed for with right of set‐off or otherwise with conditions stipulated in Chapter 13, Section 7 of the Swedish Companies Act. The reason for the deviation from the preferential rights of shareholders is to enable a directed issue for the execution of acquisitions of other companies or operations in full or in part.
