• The Board of Directors proposes that no dividend will be paid for the financial year 2024.

The buyback program is expected to commence during the second quarter of 2025, given that the Annual General Meeting on May 6, 2025, authorizes the Board to repurchase its own shares, and that the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority grants permission to repurchase own shares.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE PERIOD
After the end of the fourth quarter, The Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority requested a statement from Norion Bank as a continuation of the previously initiated investigation regarding compliance with anti-money laundering regulations, which was initiated in May 2023 towards Norion Bank and a couple of other market participants. Norion Bank will comment on the matter no later than 21 February 2025.
