Proposed decisions on (A) authorisation for the Board to decide on the acquisition of the Company’s own shares, (B) authorisation for the Board to decide on the transfer of the Company’s own shares and (C) transfer of the Company’s own shares to participants in the Company’s long-term incentive programme (Item 15)
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting decides to acquire and transfer respectively the Company’s own shares in accordance with that stated below.
Background
The Board believes that situations may arise during the period until the next Annual General Meeting when there will be a need to repurchase shares and to transfer them. For instance, this may arise in the context of industrial acquisitions and other structural development of the operations of the Nederman Group and to enable transfer of shares to participants in Nederman’s incentive programmes.
(A) The Board’s proposal for decision to authorise the Board to decide on the acquisition of the Company’s own shares
The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorise the Board to decide, on one or more occasions during the period until the 2026 Annual General Meeting, to acquire the Company’s own shares as follows:
(i) Acquisition of the Company’s own shares can take place on Nasdaq Stockholm at a price within the registered share price interval at any time, the interval being defined as the range between the highest buying price and lowest selling price.
(ii) Acquisition of the Company’s own shares may be made so that the Company’s holding of own shares amounts to a maximum of ten (10) percent of all shares in Nederman.
(B) The Board’s proposal for the authorisation for the Board to decide on the transfer of the Company’s own shares
The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorises the Board to decide, on one or more occasions during the period until the 2026 Annual General Meeting, to transfer the Company’s own shares as follows:
(i) Transfer may be made of a maximum of the number of shares that are held by the Company at the time of the Board’s decision and which are not transferred within the framework of the Company’s incentive programme.
(ii) The transfer of shares can take place on Nasdaq Stockholm at a price within the registered share price interval at any time, the interval being defined as the range between the highest buying price and lowest selling price.
(iii) The transfer of shares may take place as payment in full or in part of the acquisition price for the acquisition of companies or business or in connection with a merger, whereby the payment shall correspond to the assessed market value.
(iv) Payment for transferred shares may be made in cash, with capital contributed in kind or through set-off against the asset in the Company.
(v) Transfer may be made with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights.
(C) The Board’s proposal for decision on the transfer of the Company’s own shares to participants in the Company’s long-term incentive programme
According to the terms of the Company’s long-term incentive programmes LTI 2023 and LTI 2024, which are regulated by the Guidelines for executive remuneration adopted by the Annual General Meeting and which include ten and eleven senior executives respectively for each programme, the Company shall, after the Company’s year-end report for 2024, pay a total amount of SEK 2,652,201 to participants in LTI 2023 and SEK 3,606,216 to participants in 2024. The LTI payouts are subject to an undertaking by the participants to invest the net payout in Nederman shares without undue delay and to hold such shares for at least three years. Hence, the Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting decide to transfer the Company’s own shares to participants in LTI 2023 and LTI 2024, respectively. A total of maximum 13,733 of the Company’s own shares may be transferred. The right to acquire shares shall, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, accrue to the senior executives who participate in LTI 2023 and LTI 2024, respectively, with the right for each participant to acquire at most the number of shares corresponding to the participant’s share of the total payment amount, according to the terms of LTI 2023 and LTI 2024, respectively, after a standard deduction for 50 percent preliminary tax. The transfer of shares shall take place at a price of SEK 227,83 per share, which corresponds to the volume-weighted average paid for the Company’s share on Nasdaq Stockholm during ten trading days immediately after publication of the Company’s year-end report for 2024. The transfer of shares shall be made as soon as possible after the 2025 Annual General Meeting.
Purpose and voting majority
The purpose of the authorisations according to 15 (A) and 15 (B) and the reason for the deviation from shareholders’ preferential rights is to create a readiness for the Board to fully or partially finance industrial acquisitions, including payment with the Company’s own shares, and to allow other structural development of the operations of the Nederman Group. Furthermore, the purpose of the authorisation to repurchase shares is also to enable transfer of shares to participants in Nederman’s incentive programmes.
The purpose of the transfer according to item 15 (C), and the reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential right, is to enable the Company to fulfil its commitments regarding the transfer of shares according to LTI 2023 and LTI 2024 and at the same time to facilitate for employees to fulfil their investment commitment. The transfer price corresponds to the market price per share at the time of the Company’s obligation to pay the LTI compensation.
The Board’s proposal for resolution under items 15 (A) and (B) requires approval of shareholders representing at least two thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the Annual General Meeting. The Board’s proposal according to item 15 (C) requires approval of shareholders representing at least nine tenths of both the votes cast and of the shares represented at the meeting.
Information at the Annual General Meeting
Shareholders have the right to certain information at the Annual General Meeting. The Board and the CEO shall, if any shareholder so requests and the Board believes that it can be done without material harm to the Company, provide information regarding circumstances that may affect the assessment of a matter on the agenda, circumstances that may affect the assessment of the Company’s or subsidiaries’ financial situation, and the Company’s relationship to other group companies.
Documents
