Resolution proposals
Item 2 – Election of a chair for the Extraordinary General Meeting
The board of directors proposes that Josefin Eriksson be appointed chairman of the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Item 7 – Resolution on (a) reduction of the share capital with redemption of shares; and (b) bonus issue.
a) Resolution on reduction of the share capital with redemption of shares
The Board of Directors proposes that the extraordinary general meeting resolves on a reduction of the share capital by way of redemption of shares repurchased under the two share buyback programmes implemented during 2025.
The share capital is to be reduced by SEK 11,348,442.840118. The reduction of the share capital is to be effected by redemption of 15,598,470 own shares that are held in treasury by Norion. The purpose of the reduction is allocation to unrestricted equity.
Norion may implement the resolution to reduce the share capital without permission from a court as Norion simultaneously carries out a bonus issue that increases Norion’s restricted equity and share capital by SEK 11,348,442.840118 (see item 7 b) of the proposed agenda). The effect of the resolution under this item 7 a) and the bonus issue under item 7 b), is that neither Norion’s restricted equity nor its share capital is reduced.
The Company’s unrestricted equity amounted to SEK 7,458,971,505 as of 31 December 2024. During the two share buyback programmes in 2025, own shares were repurchased for an amount of approximately SEK 1,000 million. No other value transfers have carried out since 31 December 2024. The amount available pursuant to Chapter 17, Section 3, first paragraph of the Swedish Companies Act thus amounts to SEK 6,458,971,586.
b) Resolution on bonus issue
The share capital is to be increased by SEK 11,348,442.840118. The amount by which the share capital is to be increased shall be transferred to the share capital from Norion’s unrestricted equity. No new shares are to be issued in connection with the increase of the share capital.
The purpose of the bonus issue is to restore Norion’s restricted equity and share capital after the reduction of the share capital proposed under item 7 a) of the agenda.
Conditions, etc.
A valid resolution under item 7 a) on reduction of the share capital with redemption of shares requires support by shareholders holding not less than two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The resolutions under items 7 a)–7 b) shall be conditional upon each other and upon the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority approving that the reduction of the share capital is carried out without court permission.
Pursuant to the Swedish Banking Act (SFS 2004:297), the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority may grant such an approval since Norion also carries out the bonus issue, which entail that neither Norion’s restricted equity nor its share capital is reduced.
