The program is also considered to promote long-term actions and to make it easier for the Company to recruit and retain key employees.

The maximum dilution effect of incentive program 2026-2029 amounts to approximately 0.8 percent, calculated as of the date of issuance of the notice of the 2026 annual general meeting. If exercised in full, the Company's share capital may increase by a maximum of SEK 310,000.
