Resolutions proposed by the Board
Resolution on the proposed treatment of the company’s earnings as stated in the adopted balance sheet (item 11)
The Board proposes an ordinary dividend of SEK 10.50 per share. The dividend is proposed to be paid in two separate payments with SEK 5.25 per share for the first payment and SEK 5.25 per share for the second payment. The record date shall be 20 May 2026 for the first payment and 13 October 2026 for the second payment.
If the Annual General Meeting resolves in accordance with the proposal, the first tranche of the dividend will be paid to the shareholders on 25 May 2026 and the second tranche of the dividend will be paid out to the shareholders on 16 October 2026.
Authorisation for the Board to resolve upon issues of shares of series B and/or warrants and/or convertibles (item 19)
The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorises the Board to, on one or more occasions before the next Annual General Meeting, with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, resolve to issue shares of series B and/or warrants and/or convertibles (with rights to subscribe for or convert into shares of series B). As regards issues of shares and/or warrants and/or convertibles with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, the total number of shares that may be issued through new share issues, and/or through the conversion of convertibles and/or exercise of warrants which have been issued by exercise of the authorisation, may not result in an increase in the total number of shares by such number which would result in a dilution of more than ten (10) per cent of the total number of shares in the company as of the date of the Annual General Meeting.
New issues resolved by exercise of the authorisation may be made with or without stipulation regarding non-cash consideration, set-off or other conditions referred to in Chapter 13, Section 5, first paragraph, item 6, Chapter 14, Section 5, first paragraph, item 6, or Chapter 15, Section 5, first paragraph, item 4 of the Swedish Companies Act (Sw. aktiebolagslagen (2005:551)).
The objective of the authorisation is to enable payment in full or in part through the issue of financial instruments in connection with any potential acquisition of companies, operations or assets which the company may carry out, and to provide the Board with flexibility in its work to ensure that the company can procure financing for the operations in an appropriate manner.
The Board, the Chairman of the Board, or any person appointed by either of them, shall have the right to make such minor adjustments to the resolution as may be required in connection with the registration of the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Sw. Bolagsverket).
Incentive programme (items 20 (a)-(f))
The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to adopt a retention and performance-based incentive programme in accordance with items 20 (a)-(f) below.
Tele2’s Remuneration Committee has prepared the incentive programme in consultation with external advisors and major shareholders. The incentive programme has been reviewed by the Board at Board meetings during the end of 2025 and the first months of 2026.
Adoption of an incentive programme (item 20 (a))
Summary of the programme
The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to adopt a performance-based incentive programme (“LTI 2026”) based on the corresponding structure as last year and with the same categories, investment requirements and performance parameters as last year, but with a slight change in the number of invited participants per category. The metrics and conditions are further described in this proposal.
LTI 2026 is proposed to include approximately 200 senior executives and other key employees within the Tele2 Group. The participants in LTI 2026 are required to hold Tele2 shares. These shares can either be shares already held or shares purchased on the market in connection with the notification to participate in LTI 2026. The personal investment will thereafter be matched by the company through free-of-charge granting of performance rights on the terms stipulated below.
In the event delivery of shares under LTI 2026 cannot be achieved at reasonable costs, with reasonable administrative efforts or due to market conditions, participants may instead be offered a cash-based settlement.
The rationale for the proposal
The purpose of LTI 2026 is to create conditions for retaining competent employees in the Tele2 Group. LTI 2026 has been designed based on the view that it is desirable that senior executives and other key employees within the group are shareholders in the company. Participation in LTI 2026 requires a personal investment in Tele2 shares, be it shares already held or shares purchased on the market in connection with the notification to participate in LTI 2026. Further LTI 2026 requires, with certain exceptions, the employee to remain employed until the day after the release of the interim report for January – March 2029.
By offering an allotment of performance rights which are based on the fulfilment of established result- and performance-based conditions, the participants are rewarded for increased shareholder value. Further, LTI 2026 rewards employees’ loyalty and long-term value growth in the company. Against this background, the Board believes the adoption of LTI 2026 will have a positive effect on the Tele2 Group’s future development and thus be beneficial for both the company and its shareholders.
Personal investment
Employees must own Tele2 shares in order to participate in LTI 2026. These shares can either be shares already held, provided that the shares are not used as investment shares under the share-based incentive programmes for the years 2024 or 2025, or shares purchased on the market in connection with notification to participate in LTI 2026. The maximum number of shares that the employee can hold under LTI 2026 will correspond to approximately 15 - 34 percent of the employee’s annual base salary as further described below. For each Tele2 share held under LTI 2026, the participants will be granted performance rights by the company.
General terms and conditions
Subject to fulfilment of certain performance-based conditions during the periods 1 January 2026 – 31 December 2028 (the “Cash flow and CDP score Measurement Period”) and 1 April 2026 – 31 March 2029 (the “TSR Measurement Period”) and the participant maintaining the invested shares at the release of the interim report for January – March 2029 and, with certain exceptions, maintaining the employment within the Tele2 Group, each right entitles the participant to receive one Tele2 share free-of-charge. The performance rights do not entitle the holder to receive dividends, but in order to align the participants’ and the shareholders’ interests, the company will compensate the participants for any dividends paid on the underlying shares during the vesting period, by increasing the number of shares that each performance right entitles to at the end of the vesting period. It should be noted that the participants in LTI 2026 will not be compensated for dividend proposed at the Annual General Meeting 2026 if the dividend is executed prior to grant of rights of the LTI 2026 programme.
Performance conditions
The rights are divided into Series A, Series B and Series C (performance rights). The number of Class B shares the respective participant will receive after vesting depends on which category the participant belongs to and on the fulfilment of the following defined performance-based conditions for each respective Series rights:
Series A: The total shareholder return on the Tele2 shares (TSR) during the TSR Measurement Period being equal to the median TSR for a peer group comprising BT Group, Deutsche Telekom, Elisa, Freenet (Xet), Koninklijke KPN, NOS SGPS, Orange, Proximus, Swisscom, Telecom Italia, Telefonica, Telekom Austria, Telenor, Telia Company and Vodafone as entry level, and exceeding the median TSR for the peer group with 10 percentage points as the stretch level.
Series B: Cash flow [1] shall be measured on cumulative basis for the consolidated Tele2 Group during the Cash flow and CDP Measurement Period for LTI 2026. The Board shall establish appropriate target levels according with the external financial guidance by Tele2. As an entry level for allotment of the Cash flow target, 90 percent of the target level has to be reached and in order to reach stretch level, 110 percent of the target level has to be reached. The performance-based condition for rights of Series B are measured on a cumulative basis during the Cash Flow and CDP score Measurement Period and appropriate target levels will be established by the Board in accordance with the financial guidance by Tele2. As the financial guidance is established annually it is not possible to set a final three-year target for the performance condition beforehand. However, to enable shareholders and other stakeholders to keep updated on how this performance-based condition is developing, the Board intends to on an annual basis in Tele2’s Annual and Sustainability report disclose if, and to what extent, the target level for cash flow - as established by the Board for the reported year based on financial guidance for that year - has been reached.
Series C: The CDP score is measured on cumulative basis for the consolidated Tele2 Group during the Cash flow and CDP Measurement Period. The CDP score is measured by an external vendor on annual basis, with a CDP score for 2026, 2027 and 2028. The score delivered by CDP will give a performance achievement in percent, where score “A” gives a performance achievement of 100 percent, score “-A” gives 75 percent performance achievement and score “B” 50 percent performance achievement, each year. Below the score “B”, will give 0 percent performance achievement. A weighted average score for all three years will give the outcome of performance shares to vest. If the minimum level for Series C is reached for one single year (B) and below B for the other two years 16,67 percent of the number of rights vests. If “A” is reached all three years 100 percent of the performance rights vest.
The determined levels of the conditions include an “entry” and a “stretch” with a linear interpolation applied between these levels as for Series A and B as regards the number of rights that vest. The entry level constitutes the minimum level which must be reached in order to enable vesting of the rights in the relevant series. If the entry level is reached, the number of rights that vest and give right to Class B shares is proposed to be, 50 percent for Series A and 30 percent for Series B. If the entry level is not reached for a certain series, all performance rights (as applicable) in that series lapse. If the stretch level for Series A and Series B are met, all performance rights vest. As for Series C, the outcome of the number of shares is based on the weighted performance outcome of the three year measurements for CDP. The Board intends to disclose the outcome of the performance-based conditions in the annual report for the financial year 2029.
Retention based conditions and performance rights
The retention-based conditions and performance rights shall be governed by the following terms and conditions:
- They are granted free-of-charge after the Annual General Meeting 2026.
- They vest three years after grant (vesting period).
- Each right entitles the participant to receive one Tele2 share after the three-year vesting period, if the participant, with certain exceptions, maintains the employment within the Tele2 Group and the invested shares at the release of the interim report for the period January – March 2029.
- In order to align the participants’ and the shareholders’ interests, the company will compensate the participants for any dividends paid by increasing the number of shares that each performance right entitles to at the end of the vesting period. It can be noted that the participants in LTI 2026 will not be compensated for the dividend proposed at the Annual General Meeting 2026, if the dividend is executed prior to grant of rights of the LTI 2026 programme.
- They may not be transferred or pledged.
Preparation and administration
The Board, or a committee established by the Board for these purposes, shall be responsible for preparing the detailed terms and conditions of LTI 2026, in accordance with the mentioned terms and guidelines. To this end, the Board shall be entitled to make adjustments to meet foreign regulations or market conditions. The Board may also make other adjustments if significant changes in the Tele2 Group or its operating environment would result in a situation where the decided terms and conditions of LTI 2026 no longer serve their purpose. The Board is proposed to have the right to adjust for items affecting the original target setting, i.e. items that are deemed not be related to ordinary course of business and similar items at time of the original target setting. The Board’s possibility to make such adjustments does not include the grant of continued participation for senior executives in the company’s long-term incentive programmes after the termination of their respective employments.
Allocation
LTI 2026 is estimated to comprise up to 297,000 shares held by the participants entitling to allotment of up to 1,658,000 performance rights. The participants are divided into different categories and in accordance with the above, LTI 2026 will comprise the following number of shares and maximum number of rights for the different categories:
- the CEO: may acquire up to 13,000 shares within LTI 2026, entitling to an allotment of 2 Series A rights, 6 Series B rights and 2 Series C rights per invested share, with the possibility to receive a maximum of 130,000 Tele2 shares at vesting;
- senior executives and certain key employees (approximately 8 individuals) are divided into two subcategories where category (1) (approximately 4 individuals) may acquire up to 7,500 shares each within LTI 2026, entitling the holder to allotment of 1.75 Series A rights, 4.75 Series B rights and 1.5 Series C rights per invested share, with the possibility to receive a maximum of 60,000 Tele2 shares at vesting. Category (2) (approximately 4 individuals) may acquire up to 4,500 shares each within LTI 2026, entitling the holder to allotment of 1.25 Series A rights, 3.5 Series B rights and 1.25 Series C rights per invested share, with the possibility to receive a maximum of 27,000 Tele2 shares at vesting;
- category 3 (approximately 27 individuals in total): may acquire up to 2,400 shares each within LTI 2026, entitling the holder to allotment of 1 Series A right, 3 Series B rights and 1 Series C right per invested share, with the possibility to receive a maximum of 12,000 Tele2 shares at vesting;
- category 4 (approximately 50 individuals in total): may acquire up to 1,600 shares each within LTI 2026, entitling the holder to allotment of 1 Series A right, 3 Series B rights and 1 Series C right per invested share, with the possibility to receive a maximum of 8,000 Tele2 shares at vesting; and
- category 5 (approximately 114 individuals in total): may acquire up to 800 shares each within LTI 2026, entitling the holder to allotment of 1 Series A right, 3 Series B rights and 1 Series C right per invested share, with the possibility to receive a maximum of 4,000 Tele2 shares at vesting.
Scope and costs
The cost of LTI 2026, including financing costs but excluding social security costs, is estimated at approximately SEK 117 million. This estimate is based on a share price of SEK 185.55 (being the closing price of the Tele2 Class B share on 27 February 2026, i.e. SEK 190.80, less the first tranche of the proposed dividend of SEK 5.25 per share, which is to be distributed in respect of the underlying share before the launch of LTI 2026), as well as on maximum participation, annual employee turnover among participants of 10 percent and performance-based vesting of 50 percent.
The cost will be allocated over the years 2026 – 2029. At a 100 percent fulfilment of the performance conditions, the total cost (excluding social charges) is estimated to approximately SEK 207 million, according to IFRS 2.
The calculated social security cost will be recorded as a personnel expense in the income statement by current reservations. The social security cost is estimated to approximately SEK 49 million with the assumptions above (approximately SEK 99 million at a 100 percent fulfilment of the performance conditions), an average social security charge rate of 30 percent and an annual share price increase for Tele2’s Class B shares of 10 percent during the vesting period.
The participant’s maximum profit per right in LTI 2026 is limited to SEK 713.60, which equals to four times the average closing share price of the Tele2 Class B share during February 2026 with deduction for the proposed dividend, which is distributed from the underlying share price before the launch of LTI 2026. If the value of the Tele2 B-share exceeds SEK 713.60 at vesting, the number of Class B shares that each right entitles the participant to receive at vesting will be reduced correspondingly.
The maximum dilution is up to 0.24 percent of outstanding shares, 0.21 percent of votes and 0.22 percent in terms of costs for LTI 2026. The maximum dilution in terms of outstanding shares and votes has been calculated before any recalculation for dividends paid on the underlying shares during the vesting period. The dilution in terms of costs has been calculated in accordance with IFRS 2, divided by Tele2’s market capitalisation, excluding the dividend proposed to the Annual General Meeting 2026. Together with rights granted under the incentive programmes for the years 2023, 2024 and 2025, the maximum dilution is up to 0.77 percent of outstanding shares and 0.68 percent of votes.
If the maximum profit of SEK 713.60 per right is reached, all invested shares are retained under LTI 2026 and a fulfilment of the performance conditions of 100 percent, the maximum cost, as defined in IFRS 2, is estimated to SEK 281 million and the maximum social security cost is estimated to SEK 355 million.
For information on Tele2’s other equity-related incentive programmes, reference is made to the Annual & Sustainability report for 2025, note 30.
Effect on key ratios
If LTI 2026 had been introduced in 2025 with the assumptions stated above, including a fulfilment of performance conditions resulting in 50 percent vesting of performance rights, the diluted earnings per share would have decreased by 1.1 percent, from SEK 6.58 to SEK 6.51 on a pro forma basis.
The annual cost of LTI 2026, including financing costs and social security costs, is estimated to approximately SEK 57 million given the above assumptions. This cost can be related to the company’s total personnel costs, including social security costs, of SEK 3,934 million in 2025.
Delivery of Class B shares
To ensure the delivery of shares under LTI 2026, as well as other outstanding equity-related incentive programmes, the Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to authorise the Board to resolve on a directed issue of Class C shares to Nordea Bank in accordance with item 20 (b), and further to authorise the Board to subsequently resolve to repurchase the Class C shares from Nordea Bank in accordance with item 20 (c). The Class C shares will then be held by the company, whereafter the appropriate number of Class C shares will be reclassified into Class B shares and subsequently be delivered to the participants under LTI 2026 as well as other outstanding equity-related incentive programmes.
The Board further proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves that a maximum of 1,830,000 Class B shares may be transferred to the participants in accordance with the terms of LTI 2026. These shares can either be Class B treasury shares held by the company or Class B shares held by the company after reclassification from Class C shares.
In the event delivery of shares under LTI 2026 cannot be achieved as a result of the majority requirement for item 20 (d) not being met, participants may instead acquire Class B shares from a third party who has entered into an equity swap agreement with Tele2, provided that the Annual General Meeting resolves in accordance with the proposal in item 20 (f) below.
Authorisation to issue Class C shares (item 20 (b))
The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to authorise the Board, during the period until the Annual General Meeting 2027, to increase the company’s share capital by not more than SEK 1,500,000 by the issue of not more than 1,200,000 Class C shares, each with a quota value of SEK 1.25. With disapplication of the shareholders’ preferential rights, Nordea Bank shall be entitled to subscribe for the new Class C shares at a subscription price corresponding to the quota value of the shares. The purpose of the authorisation and the reason for the disapplication of the shareholders’ preferential rights in connection with the issue of shares is to ensure delivery of Class B shares to participants under LTI 2026 as well as in accordance with LTI 2024 – LTI 2025.
Authorisation to resolve to repurchase own Class C shares (item 20 (c))
The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to authorise the Board, during the period until the Annual General Meeting 2027, to repurchase its own Class C shares. The repurchase may only be effected through a public offer directed to all holders of Class C shares and shall comprise all outstanding Class C shares. The purchase may be effected at a purchase price corresponding to not less than SEK 1.25 and not more than SEK 1.35 per share. Payment for the Class C shares shall be made in cash. The purpose of the repurchase is to ensure the delivery of Class B shares under LTI 2026 as well as in accordance with LTI 2024 – LTI 2025.
Resolution on the transfer of own Class B shares (item 20 (d))
The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves that Class C shares that the company purchases by virtue of the authorisation to repurchase its own Class C shares in accordance with item 20 (c) above, following reclassification into Class B shares, may be transferred to participants in LTI 2026, to participants in other outstanding equity-related incentive programmes in accordance with the approved terms, or sold on Nasdaq Stockholm as set out in accordance with item 20 (e) below.
The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves that a maximum of 1,830,000 Class B shares may be transferred to participants in accordance with the terms of LTI 2026. These shares can either be Class B treasury shares held by the company or Class B shares held by the company after reclassification from Class C shares.
Resolution on the sale of own Class B shares (item 20 (e))
The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorises the Board to resolve, on one or more occasions, for the period up until the Annual General Meeting 2027, to sell Class B shares on Nasdaq Stockholm. The number of Class B shares to be sold may not exceed the number of Class B shares that the company holds at the point in time of the Board’s resolution. Sale of Class B shares may only be in consideration of cash payment at a price within the share price interval registered at that time, meaning the interval between the highest purchase price and the lowest selling price.
The purpose of the authorisation is to ensure the company’s undertakings, including social security costs and payment of preliminary salary tax, in connection with delivery of shares to the participants in Tele2’s long-term incentive programme LTI 2024 – LTI 2026.
Resolution on equity swap agreement with a third party (item 20 (f))
Should the majority requirement for item 20 (d) above not be met, the Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves that Tele2 can enter into an equity swap agreement with a third party on terms in accordance with market practice, whereby the third party in its own name shall be entitled to acquire and transfer Class B shares in Tele2 to the participants in LTI 2026.
Authorisation for the Board to resolve to repurchase own shares (item 21)
The Board proposes that the Board is authorised to resolve on repurchasing the company’s own shares if the purpose is to retire shares through a decrease of the share capital, as well as to ensure delivery of B-shares to the participants in the Tele2’s long-term incentive programmes, in accordance with the following conditions:
- The repurchase of Class A and/or Class B shares shall take place on Nasdaq Stockholm in accordance with Nasdaq Stockholm’s rules regarding purchase of own shares.
- The repurchase of Class A and/or Class B shares may take place on one or more occasions for the period up until the next Annual General Meeting.
- So many Class A and/or Class B shares may, at the most, be repurchased so that the company’s holding does not at any time exceed 10 percent of the total number of shares in the company.
- Acquisitions may not be made at a price higher than the higher of the price of the last independent trade and the highest current independent purchase bid on Nasdaq Stockholm. Acquisitions may not be made at a price lower than the lowest price at which an independent acquisition can be made.
- It is the from time to time lowest-priced, available, shares that shall be repurchased by the company.
- Payment for the shares shall be made in cash.
The purpose of the authorisation is both to give the Board flexibility to continuously decide on changes to the capital structure during the upcoming year, and thereby contribute to increased shareholder value, as well as to hedge delivery of B-shares to the participants in Tele2’s long-term incentive programmes, in accordance with the resolution under item 20 (d) and previous Annual General Meetings’ resolutions.
Amendment of the Articles of Association (item 22)
The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to amend the Articles of Association.
An updated wording of § 5 is proposed in the Articles of Association. The amended § 5 permits shares of Class A to be reclassified at any time at the request of a shareholder, rather than solely during the two fixed reclassification periods previously provided for under the section.
| Current wording | Proposed wording |
|
§ 5 The shares shall be of three classes, Class A, Class B and Class C. Shares of Class A may be issued up to a maximum of 1,600,000,000, shares of Class B may be issued up to a maximum of 1,600,000,000 and Class C shares may be issued up to a maximum of 1,600,000,000. Class A shares entitle to ten votes each and Class B and Class C shares entitle to one vote each. Class C share do not entitle to dividends. Upon the company’s liquidation, Class C shares carry an equivalent right to the Company’s assets as the other classes of shares, however not to an amount exceeding up to the quota value of the share, annualised as per day of distribution with an interest rate of STIBOR 30 days with an additional 1.00 percentages calculated from the day of payment of the subscription price. STIBOR 30 days is set on the first business day of each calendar month. If the company resolves to issue new Class A, Class B, and Class C shares by a new issue of shares, other than by an issue in kind, each holder of Class A, B and C shares has preferential rights to subscribe for new shares of the same class in proportion to the number of old shares held by such holder (primary preferential rights). Shares not subscribed for with primary preferential rights shall be offered for subscription to all shareholders in the Company (subsidiary preferential rights). If the number of shares so offered is less than the number subscribed for with subsidiary preferential rights, the shares shall be distributed among the subscribers in proportion to the number of shares already held, or, to the extent that this is not possible, by lot. If the company resolves on an issue of new shares, other than by an issue in kind, solely of Class A, Class B or Class C shares, all shareholders, irrespective of which class of shares held, are entitled to preferential rights to subscribe for new shares in proportion to the number of shares already held. The stipulations regarding preferential rights shall apply mutatis mutandis for new issues of warrants and convertible debt, and shall not infringe on the possibility to resolve on an issue in which the preferential rights of shareholders are waived. If the share capital is increased by a bonus issue, where new shares are issued, new shares of Class A and Class B shall be issued in relation to the number of shares of the same classes already held. In such cases, old shares of a specific class shall entitle to new shares of the same class. Class C shares do not carry rights to participate in bonus issues. Following a requisite amendment in the Articles of Association, the aforementioned stipulation shall not infringe on the possibility to issue shares of a new class by a bonus issue. Reduction of the share capital, however not below the minimum share capital, may on request of holders of Class C shares or as resolved by the Company’s Board of Directors or General Meeting, be made by redemption of Class C shares. A request from a shareholder shall be made in writing to the Company’s Board of Directors and the Board of Directors shall promptly act on the matter. When a resolution on reduction has been passed, an amount corresponding to the reduction amount shall be transferred to the Company’s reserves, if the required funds are available. The redemption payment per Class C share shall correspond to the quota value of the share annualised per day with an interest rate of STIBOR 30 days with additional 1.00 percentages calculated from the day of payment of the subscription price. STIBOR 30 days shall be initially set on the day of payment of the subscription price. Following notice of the redemption resolution, holders having requested redemption shall promptly receive payment for the share, or, if authorisation from the Swedish Companies Registration Office or a court is required, following notice that the final decision has been registered. Upon decision by the Board of Directors, Class C shares shall be reclassified into Class B shares, provided that the shares are held by the Company. Immediately thereafter, the Board of Directors shall report the reclassification to the Swedish Companies Register (Sw. Bolagsverket) for registration. The reclassification is effected when it has been registered and the reclassification been noted in the CSD Register. It shall be possible to reclassify Class A shares to Class B shares. Holders of Class A shares shall, during the calendar months January and July each year (the “Reclassification periods”), be entitled to request that all or part of the shareholder’s Class A shares shall be reclassified to Class B shares. The request shall be made in writing and must have been received by the Board of Directors no later than on the last day of the specific Reclassification period. The request shall state (i) the number of Class A shares that the shareholder wants to reclassify or (ii) the maximum percentage of the total number of votes in the Company, that the shareholder wants to hold, after reclassification has been completed of all Class A shares requested to be reclassified during the specific Reclassification period. When making a request according to alternative (ii) above, the shareholder shall also state the total number of Class A and Class B shares that the shareholder holds at the time of the request. By the end of each Reclassification period, the Board of Directors shall consider the question of reclassification. Immediately thereafter, the Board of Directors shall report the reclassification to the Swedish Companies Register (Sw. Bolagsverket) for registration. The reclassification is effected when it has been registered and the reclassification been noted in the CSD Register. |

Class A shares entitle to ten votes each and Class B and Class C shares entitle to one vote each. Class C share do not entitle to dividends. Upon the company’s liquidation, Class C shares carry an equivalent right to the Company’s assets as the other classes of shares, however not to an amount exceeding up to the quota value of the share, annualised as per day of distribution with an interest rate of STIBOR 30 days with an additional 1.00 percentages calculated from the day of payment of the subscription price.
