Proposal for resolution on (A) theimplementation of and guidelines for an incentive program and (B) a directed issue of warrants (item 16)
A. Resolution on the implementation of and guidelines for incentive program TO 2026/2029:1
The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolve to implement incentive program TO 2026/2029:1 in accordance with the guidelines specified below:
Category | No. of participants | Maximum no. per participant |
CEO | 1 | 100,000 |
Company executives | 3 | 50,000 |
In the event that a person offered participation declines or does not subscribe for his or her full allocation, the board of directors is entitled to reallocate any remaining warrants to other participants.
B. Resolution on a directed issue of warrants
The board proposes that the annual general meeting resolve on a directed issue of a maximum of 250,000 warrants, entailing an increase in share capital upon full exercise of a maximum of SEK 625,000. The following main terms and conditions shall apply to the resolution.
Majority required
The general meeting’s resolution on the introduction of incentive program TO 2026/2029:1 and the directed issue of warrants, requires support by shareholders representing at least nine-tenths (9/10) of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the general meeting.
Motives for the incentive program and its preparation
The motives for the incentive program, as well as the reasons for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, are that a personal and long-term commitment to ownership among the Company’s executives is expected to stimulate increased interest in the business and earnings performance, boost motivation and foster a sense of belonging to the Company. The board considers that such an issue may be beneficial to the Company and its shareholders.
The proposal has been prepared by the board in consultation with external advisers. The final proposal has been presented by the board.
Valuation
The proposal entails that the person entitled to subscribe participates in the TO 2026/2029:1 incentive program on market terms. The warrant premium for the subscription option shall be determined based on the established Black & Scholes option valuation method, whereby the option value is determined based on the share price, volatility, risk-free interest rate, time to exercise and exercise price. The calculation of the warrant premium will be carried out by BDO.
Costs and dilution
In the board’s assessment, the Company will not incur any costs for social security contributions in relation to the TO 2026/2029:1 incentive program. The Company’s costs are therefore expected to consist solely of costs for the implementation and practical administration of the program.
If all warrants are subscribed for and exercised, the dilution effect may amount to a maximum of approximately 1.3 per cent, calculated on the number of shares following full exercise of the warrants.
Existing share-based incentive program
The Company has no outstanding incentive programs.
Proposal for a resolution on the authorization of the board of directors to resolve on new issues of shares, convertible bonds, and/or warrants (item 17)
The board of directors proposes the annual general meeting to authorize the board of directors to, during the period until the next annual general meeting and on one or more occasions, resolve on new issues of shares, convertible bonds, and/or warrants, with or without deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights. If the decision on the issue is made with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, the number of shares that may be issued through new issues of shares, conversion of convertible bonds, or exercise of warrants must not exceed ten (10) per cent of the total number of shares at the time the authorization is first used (calculated after full utilization of the proposed authorization). Decisions on the issue may be made with provisions for non-cash consideration, set-off, cash payment, and/or other conditions.
The purpose of the authorization is to provide flexibility for acquisitions of companies, businesses, or parts thereof, and to increase the financial flexibility for BE Group.
The board, the CEO, or the person appointed by the board, shall have the right to make minor adjustments to the annual general meeting's decision that may be necessary in connection with registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
Voting majority
The resolution of the annual general meeting on the authorization of the board of directors to decide on new issues of shares, convertible bonds, and/or warrants is valid only if it is supported by shareholders representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.
Proposal for a resolution on the authorization of the board of directors to resolve on purchase of the Company’s own shares (item 18)
To provide the board of directors with increased flexibility in managing the Company's capital structure and enhancing shareholder value, as well as to enable financing of minor company acquisitions, the board of directors proposes the annual general meeting to authorize the board of directors, on one or more occasions, until the annual general meeting in 2027, to resolve on the purchase of own shares accordingly:
The board of directors has issued a statement pursuant to Chapter 19, Section 22 of the Swedish Companies Act (2005:551) (Sw. aktiebolagslagen).
Voting majority
The resolution of the annual general meeting on the authorization for the Board of Directors to decide on the purchase of own shares is valid only if it is supported by shareholders representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.
Proposal for a resolution on the authorization of the board of directors to resolve on transfer of the Company’s own shares (item 19)
The board of directors proposes the annual general meeting to authorize the board of directors to resolve, on one or several occasions no later than the annual general meeting 2027, on the transfer of the Company’s own shares accordingly:
The board of directors, the CEO, or any person appointed by the board, shall be authorised to make such minor adjustments to the resolution of the general meeting as may prove necessary in connection with registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or Euroclear Sweden AB, or as a result of other formal requirements.
The purpose of the authorisation, and the reasons for any deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, is to enable the financing of smaller business acquisitions through payment with the Company’s own shares and to allow continuous adaptation of the Company’s capital and share structure, thereby contributing to increased shareholder value.
Voting majority
The resolution of the annual general meeting on the authorization of the board of directors to resolve on transfer of the Company’s own shares is valid only if it is supported by shareholders representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.
