Acquisitions may not be made at a price lower than the lowest price at which an independent acquisition can be made.

The board of directors shall have the right to decide on other terms and conditions for acquisitions of own shares in accordance with the authorization.

The purpose of the authorization is to enable the board of directors to optimise and improve the capital structure of the Company, thereby creating additional shareholder value.

Resolution on implementation of a long-term incentive program 2026 (LTI 2026), as well as on entering into a share swap agreement with a third party (item 16)

Background and reasons

Since the Company’s IPO in 2015, the Company has implemented several share-related incentive programs, of which three programs, LTI 2016, LTI 2018 and LTI 2019 have reached full maturity with no more outstanding warrants or employee stock options.

The board of directors considers it to be in the best interest of Sinch and its shareholders to implement an additional long-term incentive program (“LTI 2026”) for senior executives, key personnel and other employees in the group, in accordance with this proposal. LTI 2026 is proposed to include up to 625 current and future senior executives, key personnel and other employees within the Sinch group.

The proposal has been based on the assessment of the board of directors that it is important, and in the interest of all shareholders, to create even greater participation in the group’s development for current and future senior executives, key personnel and employees of the group. The board of directors also considers it important to be able to attract talent over time, to encourage continued employment and to maintain a satisfactory employee retention level.

In order to maintain maximum flexibility, the board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves:

Item (A) – Proposal on implementation of LTI 2026

LTI 2026 comprises a maximum of 7,717,000 employee stock options divided into two (2) Series.

Series 1 of LTI 2026 comprises a maximum of 6,017,000 employee stock options which may be granted to employees of the Sinch group outside Sweden. Series 2 of LTI 2026 comprises a maximum of 1,700,000 employee stock options which may be granted to employees of the Sinch group in Sweden.

Below is a description of the principal terms and conditions for each of the LTI 2026 Series 1 and 2.

Series 1 – Employee stock options to participants outside Sweden

Each employee stock option entitles the employee to acquire one (1) share in the Company in accordance with the following terms and conditions:

Series 1 Vesting cycle and Performance criteria

The vesting of the employee stock options in LTI 2026 Series 1 is dependent on the extent to which four performance criteria related to Gross Profit, Adjusted EBITDA, Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, and measurement of Engagement Score (or similar) in Sinch (the “Series 1 Performance Criteria”, each a “Series 1 Performance Criterion”) are met. The Series 1 Performance Criterion relating to Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA are hereinafter referred to as the “Series 1 Financial KPI Performance Criterion”. The Series 1 Performance Criterion relating to Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, and measurement of Engagement Score (or similar) are hereinafter referred to as the “Series 1 ESG Performance Criterion”. The Series 1 Financial KPI Performance Criterion will always be measured on a last twelve (12) month basis (LTM).

The Series 1 Financial KPI Performance Criterion will each be applicable to 40 per cent of the stock options that have reached the Series 1 Initial or Subsequent Vesting Date (as defined below). The Series 1 ESG Performance Criterion will each be applicable to ten (10) per cent of the stock options that have reached Series 1 Initial or Subsequent Vesting Date.

Stock options whose vesting is dependent on the extent to which the Series 1 Financial KPI Performance Criterion have been reached are hereinafter referred to as “Series 1 Financial KPI Performance Criterion Stock Options”. Stock options whose vesting is dependent on the extent to which the Series 1 ESG Performance Criterion have been reached are hereinafter referred to as “Series 1 ESG Performance Criterion Stock Options”.

Vesting

Provided that the holder’s employment within the Sinch group has not been terminated as of a vesting date, and whether and to what extent the Series 1 Performance Criteria have been fulfilled as of the applicable vesting date, the employee stock options will vest on (i) the first anniversary of the date of grant (the “Series 1 Initial Vesting Date”) with respect to 25 per cent of the total number of Series 1 Financial KPI Performance Criterion Stock Options and Series 1 ESG Performance Criterion Stock Options granted to a participant, and (ii) the last day of each of the following twelve (12) calendar quarters (each a “Series 1 Subsequent Vesting Date”), with respect to an additional 6.25 per cent per calendar quarter of the total number of Series 1 Financial KPI Performance Criterion Stock Options and Series 1 ESG Performance Criterion Stock Options granted to a participant. The total vesting period, after which all granted Series 1 stock options will have vested (as applicable), is approximately four (4) years from the date of grant, not considering the potential catch up vesting described below. The employee stock options become exercisable soon after each vesting date.

Series 1 Financial KPI Performance Criterion Stock Options

At the Series 1 Initial Vesting Date and the Subsequent Vesting Date, the Series 1 Financial KPI Performance Criterion Stock Options shall vest dependent on the extent to which the Series 1 Financial KPI Performance Criterion has increased over a twelve (12) month period. The change shall be measured as the relative change (year-over-year, FX-adjusted) in the Company’s Series 1 Financial KPI Performance Criterion for each quarter preceding the relevant Series 1 Initial or Subsequent Vesting Date compared to the same quarter in the previous year. Vesting for each period shall be linear between 0-10 per cent meaning that if an increase of a Series 1 Financial KPI Performance Criterion is zero (0), zero (0) per cent of the relevant Series 1 Financial KPI Performance Criterion Stock Options vest that quarter and if an increase of a Series 1 Financial KPI Performance Criterion is ten (10) per cent or more, 100 per cent of the relevant Series 1 Financial KPI Performance Criterion Stock Options vest that quarter.

100% vesting

 

With an increase of 10% or more compared to the previous year, full vesting of the relevant options occurs.

* For each Series 1 Initial Vesting Date and Series 1 Subsequent Vesting Date, the increase is measured as the relative change (year-over-year) in the Company’s Series 1 Financial KPI Performance Criterion for each quarter preceding the relevant vesting date, compared to the same quarter in the previous year.

Catch up of Series 1 Financial KPI Performance Criterion

If any of the Series 1 Financial KPI Performance Criterion has not been fulfilled, or has been partially fulfilled, on a given Subsequent Vesting Date but the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA (CAGR) and Gross Profit (CAGR) on a vesting date or Series 1 Catch Up Date (as defined below) is fulfilled and such fulfilment lead to a higher number of vested Series 1 Financial KPI Performance Criterion Stock Options than have already vested, the balance of unvested Series 1 Financial KPI Performance Criterion Stock Options shall vest (“Series 1 Catch Up Vesting”). The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA (CAGR) and Gross Profit (CAGR) shall for the purpose of calculating the Series 1 Catch Up Vesting be measured linear between 0-10 per cent, whereas 10 percent or greater is equal to 100 per cent Series 1 Catch Up Vesting, against the the quarter preceding the date of grant for each participant in LTI 2026, at every Series 1 Subsequent Vesting Date and at each quarter up until the date of the release of the quarterly report for the quarter prior to the last day of exercise (“Series 1 Catch Up Date”).

In the event of any corporate event or transaction involving the Company including, but not limited to, a merger, consolidation, separation, share split, reverse share split, spin-off, extraordinary dividend, mergers or acquisitions within the group, or any similar corporate event or transaction, the board of directors shall have the possibility to make reasonable adjustments to the Series 1 Financial KPI Performance Criterions.

Vesting of Series 1 ESG Performance Criterion Stock Options

The Series 1 ESG Performance Criterion Stock Options shall vest depending on the fulfilment of the criteria set forth in the table below. Example: Series 1 ESG Performance Criterion Stock Options granted in June 2026 will reach its Initial Vesting Date in June 2027. The latest available data for a full financial year at this time is data for 2026 and therefore the Performance Criteria in column FY26 shall be applied. One year later at a Subsequent Vesting Date in June 2028 the latest available data for a full financial year is 2027 and therefore the Performance Criteria in column FY27 shall be applied etc.

Preparation and administration

The board of directors shall be responsible for the design, interpretation and management of stock options granted under LTI 2026 within the framework of the above-mentioned principal terms and conditions. The board of directors has the right to make reasonable changes and adjustments in detailed terms and conditions of the framework for stock options under LTI 2026 as deemed necessary or appropriate due to differences in local legislation or practices or for administrative purposes. For holders of stock options who are members of the group management, the board of directors is entitled to (i) accelerate vesting of stock options in the event of a change of control situation where the holder is dismissed from his or her employment in connection therewith and (ii) permit extended vesting and exercisability during the severance period, e.g. in good leaver situations. The board of directors also has the right to adjust detailed terms and conditions of stock options in the event of significant changes within the group or its operational environment that entail that the framework established for stock options under LTI 2026 is no longer reasonable or appropriate, provided that such changes are not more favourable to the participant than the terms and conditions set forth in this resolution proposal.

Recalculation due to split, consolidation, new share issue etc.

The exercise price and the number of shares that each stock option entitles to subscription of shall be recalculated in the event of a split, consolidation, new share issue etc. in accordance with customary re-calculation terms.

Allocation principles, etc.

The participants’ right to be granted employee stock options is differentiated between employees with reference to inter alia position, responsibility and working performance in the group. The participants have for this reason been divided into three (3) different categories:

Category A (not more than 25 persons): Members of the group management and selected key personnel

Category B (not more than 100 persons): Business unit management and key personnel

Category C (not more than 500 persons): Other personnel

The right to receive employee stock options of Series 1 shall be reserved for current and future employees of the Sinch group who work outside of Sweden, and employee stock options of Series 2 shall be reserved for current and future employees who work in Sweden.

The below allocation principles apply to the grant of stock options within each of the categories set out above.

The maximum number of stock options per person within each category as set out above may however not be exceeded for any individual. Stock options may be granted on one or more occasion.

Neither the Company’s board members, nor the founders, shall be eligible to participate in LTI 2026.

Item (B) – Resolution on entering into a share swap agreement with a third party

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves that the financial exposure relating to LTI 2026 may be hedged by Sinch entering into a share swap agreement with a third party on market terms, whereby the third party may in its own name acquire and transfer shares in Sinch to employees who participate in LTI 2026. The share swap agreement may also be used to hedge Sinch’s financial exposure relating to social security contributions arising in connection with LTI 2026.

The board of directors considers that share swap agreements represent the most cost-effective and flexible method for the delivery of Sinch shares and for covering certain associated costs, primarily social security contributions.

Costs

The employee stock options Series 1 and 2 are expected to incur accounting costs (accounted for in accordance with the accounting standard IFRS 2) as well as social security costs during the term of the stock options. According to IFRS 2, the employee stock option costs shall be recorded as a personnel expense in the income statement during the vesting period. The total costs for employee stock options Series 1 and Series 2, calculated in accordance with IFRS 2, are estimated to amount to approximately SEK 52 million during the term of the program (excluding social security costs). The estimated costs have been calculated based on, inter alia, the following assumptions: (i) a market price of the Company’s share of SEK 25.00 at the time of grant, (ii) an estimated future volatility in respect of the Company’s share during the term of the stock options of 46 per cent, (iii) that the maximum number of stock options encompassed by this resolution proposal are granted to participants of which 6,017,000 of Series 1 and 1,700,000 of Series 2, (iv) expected time to exercise in accordance with IFRS 2, (v) an annual turnover of personnel of approximately 10 per cent based on historical data, and (vi) that all vested stock options are exercised. Social security costs, which are expected to arise primarily in connection to the exercise of stock options, are estimated to amount to approximately SEK 11 million during the term of the program, based on inter alia the assumptions set out under items (i)–(vi) above as well as an average social security rate of approximately 11 per cent and an annual increase in the market price of the Company’s share of 15 per cent during the vesting period.

Other costs related to the LTI 2026, including inter alia expenses related to fees to external advisors, external appraiser and administration of the incentive program, are estimated to amount to approximately SEK 2 million during the term of the program.

Based on the assumptions set out above, the total costs of the LTI 2026 are estimated to approximately SEK 65 million in total during the term of the program.

These costs shall be seen in relation to the total employee benefits expenses of the Sinch group, which during the financial year 2025 amounted to SEK 4,264 million.

If the share price were to decrease or increase by, for example, 10% until the introduction of the programme (relative to the assumption of SEK 25.00), the costs of the stock options are expected to decrease or increase by the same percentage (assuming that the other assumptions above remain unchanged).

Dilution

LTI 2026 does not involve any dilution for existing shareholders in the Company.

Motivation in respect of Series 1 stock option vesting and exercise conditions

According to the Rules on Remuneration laid down by the Stock Market Self-Regulation Committee (Sw. Aktiemarknadens Självregleringskommitté), the vesting period, or the period between the date of grant until the date when a warrant or stock option may be exercised shall, as a general rule, not be shorter than three (3) years and any deviations from this general rule shall be justified. As set out further above, vesting of Series 1 employee stock options will start on the first anniversary of the date of grant of the stock options to participants, and on the third anniversary of the date of grant, up to 75 per cent of the employee stock options granted to a participant may have vested (provided that all applicable vesting conditions have then been fulfilled). Further, the vested stock options become exercisable soon after they have vested. The reason for applying such terms, which are not in line with the recommendations of the Stock Market Self- Regulation Committee as set out above, is that the board of directors of the Company consider such terms to be in line with market practice for employee stock option programs in most of the countries where the intended participants in Series 1 of LTI 2026 operate. It is therefore, in the opinion of the board of directors, in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to apply such terms in order to fulfil the objectives of LTI 2026.

Preparation of the proposal

This proposal in respect of LTI 2026 has been prepared by the Company’s remuneration committee and board of directors in consultation with external advisers.

Majority requirements

A majority of more than half of the votes cast at the meeting shall be required for a resolution of the meeting in accordance with the proposal of the board of directors as set out in item (A) above. For a valid resolution in accordance with the proposal of the board of directors under item (B) above, a majority of more than half of the votes cast at the meeting is required.

Conditions

The annual general meeting's resolution on LTI 2026 under item (A) above is conditional upon the annual general meeting resolving in accordance with the board of director's proposal under item (B) above.

Authorization

It is proposed that the board of directors, or a person appointed by the board of directors, shall be authorized to make such minor adjustments to this resolution that may be required for the registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Sw. Bolagsverket) and Euroclear Sweden AB, and that the board of directors shall have the right to undertake minor adjustments to the incentive program due to applicable foreign rules and laws, applicable laws, regulations or market practice.

Overview of outstanding incentive programs

Since the Company’s IPO in 2015, the Company has implemented several share-related incentive programs, of which three programs, LTI 2016, LTI 2018 and LTI 2019 have reached full maturity with no more outstanding stock options or warrants. An overview of all outstanding incentive programs is included in the table below.

The Company’s outstanding share-related incentive programs is described in detail in the 2025 annual report, note 9, and in the remuneration report for 2025.

Resolution on (A) reduction of the share capital through cancellation of repurchased shares and (B) increase of the share capital through bonus issue without issue of new shares (item 17)

Background and reasons

The annual general meeting on 22 May 2025 resolved to authorise the Company’s board of directors to resolve on acquisitions of own shares. Under the authorisation, a maximum number of shares may be acquired so that the Company’s holding of own shares at any given time does not exceed ten (10) per cent of all shares in the Company. The board of directors resolved on 21 July 2025 to initiate a share buyback and acquired a total of 79,611,294 own shares under this program. Following a resolution by the extraordinary general meeting on 19 February 2026, 74,211,294 of these shares were cancelled. The Company has subsequently, following a new resolution by the board of directors on 23 February 2026 based on the authorisation from the annual general meeting on 22 May 2025, acquired additional own shares and holds a total of 55,468,649 of its own shares as of the date of this notice. The board of directors proposes that the shares held by the Company be cancelled in accordance with the proposals in items (A) – (B) below.

Item (A) – Reduction of the share capital through cancellation of repurchased shares

The board of directors proposes that the meeting resolves that the Company’s share capital shall be reduced by SEK 608,024.878914 through the cancellation of 55,468,649 shares held by the Company. The purpose of the reduction of the share capital is allocation to unrestricted equity. The shares shall be cancelled without consideration.

The reduction of the share capital can be implemented without authorisation from the Swedish Companies Registration Office or a court of general jurisdiction since the Company is simultaneously carrying out a bonus issue in accordance with item (B) below, meaning that neither the Company’s restricted equity nor share capital decreases.

Item (B) – Increase of the share capital through bonus issue without issue of new shares

The board of directors proposes that the meeting resolves to increase the Company’s share capital by SEK 608,024.878914 through a bonus issue for the purpose of restoring the share capital to its original level following the completed reduction of the share capital in accordance with item (A) above. The amount by which the share capital is increased shall be transferred from the Company’s unrestricted equity and no new shares shall be issued in connection with the increase of the share capital. Following the completed bonus issue, the Company’s share capital will thus correspond to the share capital before the reduction in accordance with item (A) above.

Authorisation

The board of directors proposes that the board of directors, or a person appointed by the board of directors, shall be authorised to make such minor adjustments to this resolution in accordance with items (A) – (B) that may be required for registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB.

Conditions

The board of directors’ proposals under items (A) – (B) are conditional upon each other and shall be adopted as one resolution.

Resolution on amendment of the articles of association (item 18)

The board of directors proposes that the meeting resolves to amend § 4 and § 5 of the articles of association of the Company in accordance with the below.
