Correction: Flower Advances 100 MW Internally Developed BESS Project in Hamburg

An incorrect date was stated in the initial release. The correct date is April 28. Energy tech company Flower has advanced an internally developed 100 MW / 400 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Bergedorf, Hamburg, to ready-to-build status, securing land, grid connections and permits.

The project, aimed at entering operation in late 2028, marks a key milestone in Flower’s expansion in Germany and supports the growing role of battery storage in the country.

The announcement comes as the deployment of battery storage in Germany is accelerating, continuing to support the integration of renewable power while stabilizing the electricity system. 

“The Bergedorf project demonstrates our long-term ambition to scale battery storage across Europe and support the stability and affordability of Germany’s energy system. I’d like to extend a big thank you to Bergedorf Municipality, Hamburger Energienetze and all our local partners in making this project a reality” says John Diklev, founder and CEO of Flower.

Since 2023, Flower’s internal asset development team has led a comprehensive development process for the project, including permitting, stakeholder management and grid connection approvals.

“As with all our internally developed projects, the Bergedorf project has been developed in close collaboration with municipalities, landowners and grid operators to ensure it delivers value for both local communities and the broader energy system,” says Annie Olofsson, VP Asset Development at Flower.

Expanding presence in Germany and Europe

Flower recently announced the acquisition of a 63 MW / 257 MWh BESS project in Döllnitz, Saxony-Anhalt. In parallel, the company is advancing several internally developed BESS projects across Germany.

Flower owns four operational BESS sites in its native Sweden (63 MW in total), with three additional, internally developed projects set to be operational in the country by 2026 (70 MW in total). The company is also developing large-scale battery projects in the Netherlands, France and Belgium, building a multi-GWh development pipeline across Europe.

    Employment Fund has submitted the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health an estimate of the level of unemployment insurance contributions for 2027

    Employment Fund    Stock Exchange Release    April 28, 2026 at 13.30

    Employment Fund has presented the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health with an estimate that the total aggregate amount of employer’s and employee’s unemployment insurance contributions could be kept at the current level or would need to be increased by maximum of 0.3 percentage points for 2027.    

    Currently, the total amount of unemployment insurance contributions is approximately 1.8%.    

    The estimate of the amount of unemployment insurance contributions for the year 2027 is based on forecasts and calculations used by Employment Fund, which take into account different alternatives for the development of the economy and employment, as well as the effects of the implemented legislative changes.  

    According to the forecasts used by Employment Fund, the economic situation in Finland has weakened and will remain challenging in 2026, but the situation is forecasted to improve in 2027. The forecast environment contains exceptionally high uncertainty. Employment Fund's basic forecast predicts that the unemployment rate will be approximately 10.3% in 2026 and will decrease to 9.8% in 2027.   

    Despite the increasing unemployment, the number of recipients of earnings-related unemployment benefits is decreasing. In addition, the effects of the staggering of the earnings-related daily allowance have clearly reduced earnings-related unemployment benefits since last year. The combined effect of these factors is estimated to exceed the impact of the weakened economic forecasts on Employment Fund’s financing contributions paid. 

    According to the Employment Fund’s basic forecast, the change in the Fund's net assets would be positive in 2026 and would remain positive in 2027 at the current payment level.   

    Employment Fund has a EUR 600 million bond maturing in June 2027, which has been taken into account when preparing the estimate.  

    “The weak unemployment trend and economic outlook have a negative impact on Employment Fund's economic outlook. However, the Fund’s expected result is improved by two factors: the number of earnings-related unemployment allowance recipients has decreased despite the general increase in unemployment, and the staggering of earnings-related unemployment allowance has reduced the average allowance. 

    We have also taken into account the upcoming bond maturity in 2027. As a result of these factors, we estimate the unemployment insurance contributions could be kept at the current level or would need to be increased by maximum of 0.3 percentage points”, says Henri Pohjanen, Employment Fund’s Chief Financial Officer.  

    At the end of 2025, Employment Fund's net assets (business cycle buffer) were EUR 543 million. In the 2025 financial statement release published in February 2026, we estimated that the change in Employment Fund's net assets would be approximately EUR 100 million negative in 2026 and that the net assets would be EUR 440 million positive on December 31, 2026. When preparing the payment estimate for 2027, we estimate that the change in Employment Fund’s net assets would be approximately EUR 60 million positive in 2026, which would mean positive net assets of approximately EUR 600 million at the end of 2026. The statutory maximum amount of the business cycle buffer is estimated to be approximately EUR 1,100 million at that time.   

    Employment Fund is entitled to submit an estimate of the following year’s earnings-related benefit expenses, the Government’s contribution and percentages of unemployment insurance contributions to the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health each year.     

    The estimate of the contributions presented is preliminary at this stage. The final proposal will be confirmed at the meeting of the Employment Fund’s Supervisory Board, on 27 August 2026, when more information on the development of the Fund's income and expenditure, as well as on the economic cycle in general, will be available for decision-making.   

    Helsinki, 28 April 2026 Employment Fund         Henri Pohjanen  Chief Financial Officer

    Alefarm Brewing lancerer nyt unikt collab i samarbejde med Too Old To Die Young og MENY

    Alefarm Brewing A/S lancerer et nyt unikt collab I samarbejde med bryggeriet Too Old To Die Young og detailkæden MENY.

    Investornyhed nr. 149 Alefarm Brewing lancerer nyt unikt collab i samarbejde med Too Old To Die Young og MENY

    Alefarm Brewing A/S ("ALEFRM" eller "Selskabet") er et innovativt dansk bryggeri, som producerer unikke øl af høj kvalitet til forbrugere og distributører på verdensplan. Selskabet kan i dag annoncere et nyt unikt collab med bryggeriet Too Old To Die Young, der er ejet af Royal Unibrew.

    I marts 2025 annoncerede vi det første unikke collab (samarbejde mellem to brands) mellem Selskabet og bryggeriet Too Old To Die Young, hvor Too Old To Die Young producerede en Modern West Coast Double IPA, og Alefarm producerede en New England Hazy Double IPA. Øllet blev solgt i samarbejde med MENY. Nu gentages succesen, der er unik, fordi parternes dygtige bryggere hver især anvender nøjagtigt de samme råvarer til at skabe to ganske forskellige øl-typer, som i karakter og smag afviger meget fra hinanden. Øllet er udviklet i samarbejde med MENYs Øllaug. Denne gang har vi imidlertid byttet typerne om, så

    Lost – en saftig, blød og intens Hazy Double IPA, brygget af Too Old To Die Young &Found – en sprød, bitter og moderne West Coast Double IPA, brygget af Alefarm.

    Tanken er så at sælge øllene som et sæt, ”Lost & Found”, så man kan smage og nyde forskellene. Udover øllet er dåserne med etiketterne også helt unikke og grafisk sammenhængende.

    Dagligvarekæden Meny har igen set det unikke i idéen, og øllene bliver derfor Månedens ølsæt i juni og juli måned. Der forventes et betydeligt salg af det unikke øl-sæt, der bliver frigivet i butikkerne den 1. juni 2026.

    Øllet bliver dog frigivet til salg som fadøl på en række barer den 29. maj 2026. Den kan således findes på både SKAAL i København og i Sønderborg, Anarkist i Odense og i Tivoli København, hos Too Old To Die Young i København, hos Bar’ Godt og naturligvis hos Alefarm Taproom også begge i København.

    CEO, Kresten Thorndahl, udtaler i den forbindelse:

    “Der er noget helt særligt ved at brygge øl med gode venner. Vi var helt oppe at ringe, da vi lavede vores unikke collab med Too Old To Die Young sidste år, og succesen er afgjort blevet gentaget i år. Sammen har vi udforsket, hvordan de samme humletyper (Citra, Krush & Rakau) kan tage to vidt forskellige retninger – resultatet er Lost & Found. Det bedste fra to verdener. Ikke alt, der går tabt, skal findes igen, og for at komme nye steder hen., skal man tillade sig at gå væk fra de normale veje. Det er det, vi har gjort igen. Alefarm og TOTDY er gået sammen om to forbundne DIPA-collabs, der fejrer vores fælles kærlighed til humlede øl.“

    CEO statement from Mikael Inglander:

    The prevailing uncertainty in the global economy once again made its presence known in the first quarter. The US-Israeli attack on Iran triggered an escalation in the geopolitical situation and led to large market movements, rising energy and commodity prices, and concerns about renewed global inflationary pressures. As a consequence, market policy rate expectations were gradually revised upwards in the quarter. Following a period of forecasts indicating stable or falling interest rates, uncertainty about future developments has now increased. While the ultimate impact of this on Sweden’s economy and housing market remains to be seen, the overall development has weakened the outlook compared with the optimism that prevailed in the beginning of the year.

    Developments for mortgages are broadly trending in line with the patterns of recent years. While credit growth is low, it is continuing its upward trend from the record lows noted in early 2024. Market competition remains intense and we expect these conditions to persist for some time, with a consequent downward pressure on mortgage margins.

    While an attractive price will always be an important factor when choosing a mortgage bank, it is becoming increasingly clear that customers value simplicity, security, transparency and a smooth digital experience. Mortgage providers who are strong in these areas – areas where SBAB has a strong position – are the providers who are successfully capturing market shares. Our offer is built on transparent pricing, without any negotiations, bundling or other requirements. We want our customers to consider us simple, agile and easy to do business with – attributes we need to constantly live up to and continue developing.

    To ensure that applying for and managing a mortgage with us is quick and easy, we place a great deal of focus on enhancing the digital customer journey as well as our internal processes. We have made significant progress recently in everything from digital signing solutions to streamlining our processing flows. In March, the Riksdag decided new mortgage rules that started to apply from 1 April 2026. The mortgage ceiling was raised from 85% to 90% and the stricter amortisation requirement was removed. New restrictions regarding additional loans and revaluations were also introduced. We continue developing and improving our offering while negotiating the challenges in terms of growth and profitability posed by intense competition and historically low mortgage margins. During the quarter, our mortgage portfolio increased 0.9% to a total of SEK 380.9 billion.

    Continued caution among property companies and tenant-owners’ associations Property companies’ willingness to invest is being held back by uncertainty regarding interest rates, valuations and yield requirements, which is helping to keep transaction volumes low. At the same time, bond financing is increasingly regaining its attraction for many established players, with a consequent effect on demand for bank financing. In late 2025 and early 2026, we noted a slight increase in demand for building credits, albeit still far from the levels experienced prior to the rise in interest rates in 2022. In general, tenant-owners’ associations remain cautious and are postponing investment decisions pending greater clarity on costs and interest rates. While this segment is also fiercely competitive, we are well-positioned to grow and capture market shares. The high degree of predictability and availability of our offer, in combination with efficient service and deep expertise, makes us an attractive and accessible partner. Our lending to property companies and tenant-owners’ associations decreased 2.4% for the quarter to a total of SEK 161.5 billion.

    Focus on the right thingsWe continue to focus strongly on costs and efficiency. Given the tight margins in the market, it is crucial that we work smartly and quickly, and that we continue improving our processes and ways of working. The aim is to create the scope that will allow us to further improve conditions for our customers while also building a long-term stable, scalable, sustainable and flexible business. These comprise the key areas of our long-term strategic goals. While we continue investing in the business, we are being more selective and setting clearer priorities than previously, with the focus on completing key system changes and updates, improving our digital flows, increasing automation and enhancing the customer experience. Expenses for the quarter amounted to SEK 450 million, down 4.9% year-on-year.

    While the deposits growth rate has slowed as interest rates have fallen, deposits grew 0.8% during the quarter to SEK 266.8 billion. Growth opportunities remain good and are achievable by offering affordable, simple and secure savings products that contrast favourably with the zero interest rates offered by several major players.

    We have long demonstrated that we are highly capable of adapting the business to changing conditions and, despite squeezed mortgage margins, we can report stable profitability. The past few years have seen the business grow in stability. A broader composition of lending options for housing financing, together with a larger share of deposits in the funding mix, make us more resilient to fluctuating margins and interest rates. Increased efficiency and cost control mean we are even better placed to compete for customers over time and realise business growth and scalability. Return on equity for the quarter amounted to 10.9% and was positively impacted by lower costs and a larger dividend to our owner, the Swedish state. Fierce market competition means that we expect a slightly lower return going forward.

    Global uncertaintyThe rapid and disruptive changes of recent years have made looking ahead increasingly challenging. It is painful to realise how much human suffering still characterises this day and age and that our lives continue to be shaped by conflicts. Increased geopolitical tensions – most recently exemplified by the conflict between the US, Israel and Iran – remind us of just how vulnerable the world is, particularly in a time with closely interlinked economies where events in one region quickly trigger global repercussions. Much of this is beyond our control. Our task is to manage and mitigate the effects as far as we can, and to focus on what we can actually influence. That said, there is reason to be optimistic. The increasing pace of technological advancement brings new opportunities to solve many of the challenges we are facing. With the right focus, a curious mindset and through collaboration, we all have the potential to succeed – together.

    Review of the Remuneration Report

    The Annual General Meeting resolved to approve the Remuneration Report 2025 in accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors. The resolution was advisory.

    Election and remuneration of the Members of the Board of Directors

    It was resolved that the Board of Directors shall consist of three members.

    The Annual General Meeting resolved, in accordance with the proposal of the Shareholders’ Nomination Committee, that the following individuals be elected as Members of the Board of Directors: Hannu Lehto, Tarja Teppo and Timo Okkonen. The term of the Board members will expire at the end of the Annual General Meeting 2027.

    The Annual General Meeting resolved that the Members of the Board of Directors shall be paid a yearly remuneration consisting of a cash remuneration and a share remuneration as follows:

    • Chair of the Board of Directors: A cash remuneration of EUR 18,000 and a remuneration of 80,000 shares, and
    • Deputy Chair and members of the Board of Directors: A cash remuneration of EUR 12,000 and a remuneration of 80,000 shares.

    The remuneration in shares is paid in such a way that the Members of the Board of Directors are given either shares that are in the company’s possession or new shares issued by the company without consideration or alternatively shares will be acquired from the regulated market (Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd) at a price determined by public trading in the name and on behalf of the Member of the Board of Directors. The Members of the Board of Directors shall not dispose such shares during their membership or before six months has passed from the expiry of the said membership.

    The Annual General Meeting resolved not to pay a separate attendance fee to the members of the Board of Directors. However, the attendance fee for the members of potential Committees of the Board of Directors is EUR 600 per meeting for the Committee Chair and EUR 400 per meeting for the Committee members.

    Election and remuneration of the auditor

    It was resolved that the remuneration of the auditor will be paid according to invoice approved by the company.

    Authorisation of the Board of Directors to decide on the purchase of the company's own shares

    The Annual General Meeting authorised the Board of Directors to decide on the purchase of the company’s own shares as one or several instalments using non-restricted shareholders’ equity or without consideration, such that the maximum quantity repurchased be 16,200,000 shares. The quantity equals approximately 10 per cent of the total amount of company’s shares. The shares shall be purchased through public trading organised by Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd in accordance with its rules or using another method. If shares are not repurchased without consideration, the consideration paid for the shares shall be based on the market price at the time of repurchase.

    The authorisation also entitles the Board of Directors to decide on the repurchase of shares in different proportions than the proportion to the shares owned by the shareholders (directed repurchase) with weighty financial reasons. Shares may be repurchased to implement arrangements associated with the share-based incentive systems, remuneration of the Board of Directors or company’s business operations, or to be otherwise transferred or to be cancelled. The repurchased shares can also be held by the company itself.

    The Board of Directors is authorised to make decisions on all other conditions and circumstances pertaining to the repurchase of own shares. The repurchase of own shares against payment reduces the non-restricted shareholders’ equity. The authorisation remains valid until the end of the following annual general meeting but in any case, not longer than 30 June 2027 and replaces the company’s previous authorisation to repurchase own shares granted by the Annual General Meeting on 22 May 2025.

    Authorising the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of shares as well as issuance of options and other special rights entitling to shares as well as the transfer of own shares

    The Annual General Meeting decided to authorise the Board of Directors to decide on the issue of a maximum of 16,200,000 shares through a share issue or by granting options or other special rights entitling to shares as one or several instalments. The quantity equals approximately 10 per cent of the total amount of company’s shares. The authorisation includes the right to issue either new shares or own shares held by the company, either against payment or without consideration. New shares can be issued and own shares held by the company transferred in deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emptive subscription right (directed issue) if there is a weighty financial reason for the company to do so and, in case of an issue without consideration, an especially weighty reason for both the company and in regard to the interests of all shareholders in the company. The Board of Directors is authorised to decide on all other conditions and circumstances pertaining to a share issue, to the granting of special rights entitling to shares, and to the transfer of shares.

    The authorisation may be used, inter alia, to execute company's share-based incentive systems, to pay the remuneration of the Board of Directors, to strengthen the capital structure, to expand the ownership base, to use as consideration in transactions or when the company purchases assets associated with its operations.

    The authorisation remains valid until the end of the following Annual General Meeting but in any case, no later than 30 June 2027 and it replaces previous share issue and option authorisations granted by the Annual General Meeting on 22 May 2025.

    Minutes of the meeting

    The minutes of the meeting shall be made available on the Lehto Group Plc’s internet site lehto.fi/en/agm as from 11 May 2026 at the latest.

    Municipality on Zealand Buys into Dataproces’ MARS Platform

    Investor News No. 26/2026: Municipality on Zealand Has Purchased Dataproces’ MARS Platform

    Dataproces has entered into a contract with a municipality on Zealand for the use of its SaaS solution, MARS Mellemkommunal.

    MARS is Dataproces’ SaaS platform that provides digital support for, among other things, municipalities’ administration of inter-municipal payments and reimbursements. The solution consolidates data from various municipal professional systems into a single, unified platform and creates a comprehensive overview of who must pay what—and when.

    The platform automates large parts of the manual workflows traditionally associated with inter-municipal settlements. As a result, employees no longer need to handle complex spreadsheets, follow-ups, and data checks manually. Instead, MARS employs data-driven validation, quality assurance, and automated workflows.

    Panostaja Oyj´s Share-Based Incentive and Commitment Plan

    Panostaja Oyj’s Board of Directors has resolved to approve a share-based long-term incentive and commitment plan for the CEO and the members of the Management Team (the “Plan”). The objective of the Plan is to incentivise and commit key personnel for the long-term on implementation of the company’s strategy, to increase shareholder value over the long term, and to align the objectives of the company’s shareholders and key personnel in enhancing the company’s value. The incentive and commitment plan now decided upon is in line with the remuneration policy that was consultatively approved by the Annual General Meeting on 15 April 2026.

    The Plan is performance-based and comprises of one three-year earning period. The company does not have any overlapping long-term incentive plans or earning periods in effect simultaneously. The Board of Directors shall decide separately on the possible commencement of a new long-term earning period as well as on its performance criteria, other terms and participants. The Board of Directors has decided on the first earning period of the Plan, which commenced on 1 January 2026 and will end on 31 December 2028.

    The Board of Directors has selected the CEO and three members of the Management Team to participate in the first earning period of the Plan covering the years 2026–2028. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Board of Directors may decide to include new participants in the Plan during the performance period. As a general rule, if a participant’s employment or service relationship terminates before the payment of the reward, no reward will be paid.

    For the period 2026–2028, one earning criterion has been set, on the basis of which any potential reward payment will be determined by the development of total shareholder return (TSR) of the company’s share. Payment of rewards is conditional upon reaching the minimum target level set for the performance criterion. If the maximum target level is reached, the total gross rewards payable under the earning period will amount to a maximum of approximately 1,740,599 shares in Panostaja Oyj, corresponding to a value of EUR 538,000 based on the volume-weighted average share price of Panostaja’s share in March 2026. The aim is to pay any rewards to the participants in shares of Panostaja Oyj and/or in cash by the end of March 2029.

    A transfer restriction applies to the net shares granted as a reward during the vesting period. The vesting period for the first earning period begins upon payment of the reward and ends gradually two years after the end of the earning period. The Board of Directors of Panostaja recommends that each key executive retain ownership of at least half of the shares received under the share-based incentive plan until the value of their shareholding in the company corresponds to one third (1/3) of their annual base salary. In addition, the CEO is required to retain ownership of half of the shares received under the Plan until the value of his or her shareholding in the company corresponds to his or her annual base salary at the time of payment.
