Authorisation and decision on acquisition of own shares
The board was authorised to acquire up to a maximum of 10% of the company's shares by purchase on NASDAQ Stockholm, and if the board deems it appropriate, to sell all or parts of the purchased shares via NASDAQ Stockholm, or alternatively to use purchased shares as liquid in the event of a company acquisition. Acquisition and transfer of shares must take place at a price within the price range registered on the stock exchange at any given time. The authorisation shall be considered valid until the next annual general meeting.

OEM International AB holds 371,082 series B shares as of the date of the general meeting, which constitute 0.3 percent of the issued shares and 0.1 percent of the number of votes. The total number of shares in OEM International AB, including the company's holdings, amounts to 139,015,854.
Decision on the issuance of call options on repurchased shares and the transfer of repurchased shares to management personnel
The Annual General Meeting decided to, in accordance with the board's proposal, adopt a long-term incentive program covering approximately 60 management personnel in the OEM group. The decision means that the company, deviating from the shareholders' preferential right, offers the option holders to acquire up to 200,000 of the company's repurchased series B shares. These give the right to acquire the corresponding number of shares during the period from and including March 1, 2027 to and including June 15, 2027, which corresponds to approximately 0.14 percent of the total number of shares and approximately 0.05 percent of the total number of votes in the company. The purchase price for the shares upon exercise of the option must correspond to 120 percent of the volume-weighted average of the price paid for the company's series B shares during the period from and including May 6, 2024 to and including May 17, 2024. The company has a right to buy back the call options from the holder if the option holder does not wish to use all acquired purchase options and reports this to the company. Acquisition of options must take place at a price which at any time corresponds to the market value, as highest.
