new shares
The AGM authorised, in accordance with the proposal from the

financial flexibility of the company and the acting scope of the
board of directors. The authorisation allows the board of directors
to resolve to increase the company's share capital by issue of new
shares at one or several occasions and for the time period until
the end of the next annual general meeting, with or without
deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights and with or
without provisions for contribution in kind, set-off or other
conditions, to the extent that it corresponds to a dilution of not

authorisation.

repurchase own shares
The AGM authorised, in accordance with the proposal from the
board of directors, the board of directors to resolve upon
repurchases of own shares of class B, on one or several occasions
prior to the annual general meeting 2024. The purpose of the
authorisation is to promote efficient capital usage in the company
and to provide flexibility as regards the company's possibilities
to distribute capital to its shareholders. Repurchase shall maximum
comprise so many shares of class B that the company's holding does
not at any time exceed ten per cent of the total number of shares
in the company. Repurchase may only take place on Nasdaq Stockholm

time, i.e. the range between the highest purchase price and the
