The general meeting decided that the election of the sustainability reporting assurer be made conditional, so that the election becomes effective only if the company is obliged under the law in force at the end of the financial year 2026 to prepare a sustainability report for the financial year 2026 and to obtain an assurance for it.
Authorising the Board of Directors to decide on the share issue

The new shares may be issued and the treasury shares held by the company may be transferred for consideration or without consideration. A share issue may also be a directed share issuance, and the authorisation also includes the right to decide on issuing new shares to the company itself without consideration. The Board of Directors may use the authorisation for example as compensation in acquisitions, to develop capital structure, to broaden the ownership base, to acquire assets related to the company’s business or to finance or carry out other business transactions, or for other purposes decided by the Board of Directors. However, the authorisation may not be used for the implementation of incentive programs of the company’s management or key personnel.
