Authorisation for the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of class B shares without payment to the Company and on a directed share issue of class B shares in order to execute the share-based incentive plan for Oriola Group's executives and the share savings plan for Oriola Group's key personnel

In addition to the authorisations presented above, the Board of Directors was granted the following authorisations in order to execute the share-based incentive plan for the Oriola Group's key personnel and the share savings plan for the Oriola Group’s key personnel:

(i) The Board of Directors was authorised to decide on a share issue without payment to the Company in one or more instalments. The maximum number of new class B shares to be issued under this authorisation is 250,000, which represents of 0.14 per cent of all shares in the Company.

The Board of Directors decides upon all other matters related to the issuing of class B shares.

The purpose of the authorisation is to enable the creation of own shares to be used in the new share-based incentive plan for Oriola Group's executives and the share savings plan for Oriola Group's key personnel, as follows.

(ii) In deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive right, the Board of Directors was authorised to issue the Company's class B shares in one or more instalments. The class B shares to be issued can be either new shares or own class B treasury shares. The total amount of the authorisation is 250,000 class B shares. The share issue may be without payment.

Shares may be repurchased in accordance with the resolution of the Board of Directors also in a proportion other than in which shares are owned by the shareholders, using funds belonging to the company's unrestricted equity and at a price formed in trading on regulated market on the date of the repurchase or otherwise at a price formed on the market. The Board of Directors decides how shares will be repurchased. Among other means, derivatives may be used in acquiring the shares. The acquisition of shares reduces the company's distributable unrestricted equity. Shares may be repurchased to develop the company's capital structure, to execute corporate transactions or other business arrangements, to finance investments, to be used as a part of the company's incentive schemes or to be otherwise relinquished, held by the company or cancelled.

According to the authorisation, the Board of Directors decides on all other matters related to the repurchase of class B shares. The authorisation to repurchase own shares is in force for a period of not more than eighteen (18) months from the decision of the AGM.
