Further, the AGM resolved, in accordance with the Board of Directors' proposals:

• to approve a long-term share-related incentive plan in the form of a share option plan for members of Group Management and other employees of the Company (“Employee LTIP 2024”). Under Employee LTIP 2024, the Board of Directors is entitled to grant employee options to all employees. The Chief Executive Officer may be granted up to 1,850,000 employee options and other employees may be granted up to 870,000 employee options each (subject to the cap of 5,300,000 employee options in total). Each employee option entitles the holder to either purchase one share in the Company at a price per share corresponding to the volume weighted average price for the Company’s share on Nasdaq Stockholm during 20–24 May 2024 (or a later period of five trading days as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with the resolution), subject to the continued employment within the group during a three-year vesting period. The Company plans to “net equity settle” the Employee LTIP 2024, where the number of shares delivered to participants is significantly reduced compared to the headline number of employee options granted. After the vesting period, the participants in Employee LTIP 2024 are entitled to exercise all or part of the employee options until 31 May 2031;
  
• to approve the issue and transfer of up to 5,300,000 warrants of series 2024:1 in order to secure the delivery of shares to the participants and cover any costs (including taxes and social security charges) at exercise of employee options under the Employee LTIP 2024. The warrants are issued free of charge and the subscription right rests with the Company itself. The subscription price at exercise of the warrants of series 2024:1 shall be equal to the quotient value of the Company’s share;
  
• to approve the issue and transfer of up to 6,300,000 warrants of series 2024:2 in order to secure the delivery of shares to the participants and cover any costs (including taxes and social security charges) at exercise of employee options under the Employee LTIP 2023 approved by the 2023 AGM. The warrants are issued free of charge and the subscription right rests with the Company itself. The subscription price at exercise of the warrants of series 2024:2 shall be equal to the quotient value of the Company’s share;
  
  
• to authorise the Board of Directors to issue new shares and/or convertible debentures corresponding to in total not more than 28,500,000 new shares, with or without the application of the shareholders pre-emption rights, in order to enable or facilitate acquisitions of companies or businesses or other major investments; and
  
• to authorise the Board of Directors to decide on repurchases and sales of shares in Orrön Energy on Nasdaq Stockholm, where the number of shares repurchased shall be limited so that shares held in treasury from time to time do not exceed ten percent of all outstanding shares of the Company.
  
  

The shareholder proposal which was put to the meeting by a minority shareholder, was rejected by the shareholders at the AGM.
