Authorizations of the Board of Directors at the End of the Reporting Period

Authorizing the Board of Directors to Decide on the Repurchase of the Company´s own Shares

The Annual General Meeting authorized the Board of Directors to decide on the repurchase of the Company´s own shares as follows.

The number of own shares to be repurchased shall not exceed 3,500,000 shares, which corresponds to approximately 9.80 percent of all of the shares in the company as of the date of the Annual General Meeting. Only the unrestricted equity of the company can be used to repurchase its own shares on the basis of the authorization.

Own shares can be repurchased at a price formed in public trading on the date of the repurchase or otherwise at a price formed on the market.

The Board of Directors decides how own shares will be repurchased. Own shares can be repurchased using, inter alia, derivatives. Own shares can be repurchased otherwise than in proportion to the shareholdings of the shareholders (directed repurchase).

The authorization cancels the authorization given by the Annual General Meeting on June 15, 2020, to decide on the repurchase of the company´s own shares.

The authorization is effective until June 30, 2022.
