Proposal to resolve on a long-term incentive program (LTIP 2024/2027)
The board of directors of
In light of the above, the board of directors proposes to the annual general meeting to resolve on (a) implementing a long-term incentive program ("LTIP 2024/2027") for Key-Personnel, and (b) a directed issue of not more than 213,102 warrants.
a) Implementation of a long-term incentive program ("LTIP 2024/2027")
The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to implement a long-term incentive program ("LTIP 2024/2027") including not more than 213,102 shares in the Company on the following principal terms and conditions:
- Up to 33 executive managers and other key personnel in the group will be offered participation in LTIP 2024/2027.
- Participation in LTIP 2024/2027 presupposes that the participants with their own funds acquire shares in the Company ("Investment Shares") at market price. If the Investment Shares are retained until
31 May 2027 (the "Savings Period") and the participant remains in the employment in the group throughout the Savings Period, then each Investment Share entitles the holder to acquire up to four (4) shares in the Company ("Performance Shares"), forSEK 20.00 per Performance Share. Participants will also receive, free of charge, zero point five (0.5) matching shares (“Matching Shares”) per Investment Share held that are retained throughout the Savings Period, provided that participants remain employed in the group throughout the Savings Period. - The maximum number of Performance Shares and Matching Shares that Key Personnel has the right to acquire, provided that other requirements for the right to acquire Performance Shares are met, appear below. One (1) Investment Share entitles the holder to acquire up to four (4) Performance Shares and to receive zero point five (0.5) Matching Shares free of charge. The number of Performance Shares each Investment Share entitles to, may be between zero (0) and four (4) and is determined by the board of directors and is linked to a financial ratio decided by the board of directors, Capital Adjusted EBITDA for 2026. The key figure is intended to relate to the Company's financial goals and reflect the Company's strategic long term goals. In total, a maximum of 189,424 Performance Shares and 23,678 Matching Shares can be issued under LTIP 2024/2027.
Category | Maximum allotment of Performance Shares and Matching Shares | |
Category 1 | Key employees | 28,380 Performance Shares and 3,547 Matching Shares |
Category 2Category 3 | Persons with managerial positionsStrategic key employees | 37,888 Performance Shares and 4,736 Matching Shares18,948 Performance Shares and 2,369 Matching Shares |
Category 4 | Group management team | 56,840 Performance Shares and 7,105 Matching Shares |
Category 5 | CEO and CFO | 47,368 Performance Shares and 5,921 Matching Shares |
- Acquisition of Investment Shares must take place no later than
8 June 2024 , with the right for the board of directors to extend this period if there are obstacles to a participant's acquisition during the period or in case a so-called closed period, or other similar period during which inside information exists in the Company would arise. - Performance Shares and Matching Shares will be acquired no later than
30 June 2027 . Acquisition of Performance Shares and Matching Shares takes place, in a way that the participant in the program receiving warrants of series 2024/2027 free of charge, which are exchanged for shares in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. For Performance Shares, the participant pays the subscription price to exercise the warrants for the subscription of new shares, while the Company bears this cost in respect of Matching Shares. - The right to acquire Performance Shares and to receive Matching Shares cannot be transferred.
- It is presupposed that participation in the program can take place in accordance with the applicable laws in the countries concerned and that such participation, according to the board of director's assessment, can take place with reasonable administrative costs and financial efforts.
- The number of Performance Shares and Matching Shares shall be subject to customary recalculation as a result of intermediate share split and reverse share split, bonus issue, rights issue and/or other similar corporate events.
- The board of directors shall be responsible for the detailed wording and handling of LTIP 2024/2027 within the framework of the above main terms and conditions and also have the right to make the minor adjustments to these terms and conditions that may be required as a result of legal or administrative reasons. In addition, the board of directors shall have the right to make adjustments and deviations from the terms and conditions due to local rules in jurisdictions other than
Sweden and existing market practice.
b) Directed issue of warrants
In order to secure the transfer of Performance Shares and Matching Shares in LTIP 2024/2027, the board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves upon an issue of warrants on the following terms and conditions:
- The Company shall issue not more than 213,102 warrants of series 2024/2027 (the "Warrants").
- The right to subscribe for the Warrants shall, with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, belong to
R12 Kapital AB . - Over-subscription is not allowed.
- Subscription of the Warrants shall take place on a separate subscription list no later than
6 June 2024 . The board of directors is entitled to prolong the subscription period. The Warrants shall be allotted free of charge. - Each Warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one (1) new share in the Company during the period
15 May 2026 to15 July 2026 . In case this period would be within a so-called closed period, or other similar period during which inside information exists in the Company, the board of directors may resolve to prolong the period. - The price for the shares at exercise shall be
SEK 20.00 . - Shares issued as a result of subscription will carry rights to dividends as of the first record date for dividends that occur after registration of the share issue with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and the shares have been registered in the share register kept with
Euroclear Sweden AB . - The complete terms and conditions for the Warrants will be set forth in the warrant terms and conditions. As set forth therein, the subscription price, as well as the number of shares, which a Warrant entitles subscription for, can be recalculated in the event of a share split, bonus issue, new issue and in certain other cases.
- The increase of the Company’s share capital will, upon exercise of the Warrants, amount to not more than
SEK 11,839 , subject to such increase that may occur due to recalculation of the subscription price and the number of shares, which each Warrant entitles subscription for in the event of a share split, issues etcetera. - The reason for deviating from the shareholders’ preferential rights is to allow for the Company to transfer Performance Shares to the participants in LTIP 2024/2027.
- Upon full subscription by virtue of the Warrants, a maximum of 213,102 new shares may be issued, corresponding to a dilution of approximately one (1) percent of the total number of shares and votes in the Company, however, subject to the increase that may result from a re-calculation of the subscription price and number of shares, which each Warrant entitles subscription for as a result of certain events as set out in the warrant terms and conditions. The dilution is calculated as the total number of new shares divided by the total number of shares after the increase of the number of shares and the total number of new votes divided by the total number of votes after the increase in the number of votes.
- The board of directors is authorized to make such minor adjustments in the annual general meeting’s resolution as may be required in connection with the registration with the
Swedish Companies Registration Office andEuroclear Sweden AB .
Additional information
Costs for the Company and effects on key figures
The board of directors estimates that LTIP 2024/2027 will incur costs partly in the form of accounting salary costs and partly in the form of social security contributions.
The accounting salary costs depend on how many Performance Shares are earned and are reported as a cost but have no effect on cash flow. Based on (i) the assumption that 100 percent of the Performance Shares included in LTIP 2024/2027 will be allocated, (ii) an assumed annual staff turnover of 5 percent, implying that 189,424 Performance Shares and 23,678 Matching Shares are earned, (iii) that the price for the Company’s share is
The cost of the program is partly dependent on the share price at the start of the program. In the event that the share price would decrease by 20 percent, the cost would decrease correspondingly.
The total costs for LTIP 2024/2027 will be distributed over the years 2024–2027. When all Performance Shares and Matching Shares are earned in 2027, the costs will be distributed evenly over the period.
It should be noted that all calculations above are preliminary, based on assumptions and only aim to provide an illustration of the costs that LTIP 2024/2027 may entail. Actual costs may thus deviate from what is stated above.
In addition to the cost for administration, implementation, and evaluation of LTIP 2024/2027, no additional costs are expected to incur in connection with LTIP 2024/2027.
Hedging measures for LTIP 2024/2027
Other share-based incentive programs
The Company has two outstanding incentive programs, LTIP 2022/2025 and LTIP 2023/2026. See the Company’s annual report for further information.
Preparation of the proposal
The proposal has been prepared by the remuneration committee and adopted by the board of directors. Neither the CEO, CFO nor any other person who may be covered by LTIP 2024/2027 has participated in the board of director's preparation and decision on the proposal.
Majority requirements
For a valid resolution in accordance with item (a) above, shareholders representing more than half of the votes cast are required to vote in favour of the proposal.
For valid resolutions pursuant to item (b) above, shareholders representing at least nine tenths of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting must vote in favour of the proposal.
17. Resolution on authorisation for the Board of Directors to resolve on new share issues, with or without preferential rights for the shareholders of the Company
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to authorise the Board of Directors, on one or more occasions, to decide on new share issues, with or without deviation from the preferential rights of the shareholders, for the period up to the end of the next Annual General Meeting.
The number of shares issued pursuant to the authorisation may not exceed an increase of ten (10) percent of the share capital based on the share capital of the Company at the time of the Annual General Meeting 2024.
Payment shall, in addition to cash payment, be made by way of contribution or set-off, or otherwise be provided with conditions. If the Board of Directors decides to issue new shares with deviation from the preferential rights of the shareholders, the reason for this shall be to provide the Company with new owners of strategic importance to the Company or to implement acquisition agreements, alternatively to procure capital for such acquisitions.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer shall be authorised to make minor adjustments in the decisions above that may prove necessary in connection with a registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
