The following matters will be addressed at the General Meeting:

3. Election of persons to scrutinise the minutes and supervise the counting of votes
4. Declaration of validity of the meeting
5. Recording the attendance and adoption of the list of votes
6. Authorization for the Board to the acquisition of own shares
The Board of Directors proposes to the Extraordinary General Meeting that the General Meeting would authorize the company's board of directors to decide on the acquisition of the company's own shares in accordance with Chapter 15 of the Limited Liability Companies Act, otherwise than in proportion to the shareholders' holdings, as follows:
The Board of Directors proposes that not more than 350.000 shares are acquired and that the General Meeting authorizes the Board of Directors to decide on the time interval during which the shares may be offered and after which the Board of Directors makes the acquisition decision. It is proposed that the authorization would be valid until the close of the next Annual General Meeting.
It is proposed that the price is EUR 28.70 per share, which is based on the Group's equity of the previous confirmed financial year, minus the dividend paid and divided by the number of shares.
In addition, it is proposed that a minimum of 1000 shares or, if the shareholder owns less than 1000 shares, all shares owned by the shareholder must be offered for acquisition. If more than the authorized number of shares is offered for acquisition, 1000 shares will be acquired from all those who have offered shares. In addition, from those who have offered more than 1000 shares, the shares will be acquired in proportion to the total number of shares they offered until the amount the Board of Directors decides to acquire. Only shares owned by the shareholder, that are not subject to any pledge rights, or other similar rights may be offered for acquisition.
There is a compelling financial reason for acquisition of the company's own shares; planning an incentive program, clarifying the ownership structure of the company and enabling shareholders who wish to do so to sell shares.
The acquisition of the company's own shares in accordance with the authorization may be made in one or more instalments.
