The Meeting approved the board’s remuneration report and approved the Board of Directors’ proposal regarding guidelines for remuneration to senior management.
The Meeting approved the Board of Directors’ proposal to authorize the Board to decide, until the next annual general meeting, with or without deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, on one or several occasions resolve to issue ordinary shares, convertible instruments and/or warrants. Payment may be made in cash and/or with in kind or by way of set-off, or other conditions. The total increase of the number of ordinary shares, which includes issuance, conversion or subscription for new shares, may – where it entails a deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights – correspond to a dilution of a maximum of 10 percent of the current number outstanding ordinary shares, adjusted for any splits or similar. The authorization shall primarily be used for the purpose of acquisitions or financing thereof.
The Annual General Meeting resolved, in accordance with the Board's proposal, to adopt a long-term performance based share program which can include not more than 50 employees within the Sdiptech group. The participants are required to invest in the group by investing in class B shares in Sdiptech AB (publ) (“Saving Shares”). The participants will thereafter be granted the opportunity to receive class B shares free of charge, so called “Performance Shares”. For each Saving Share, the company will grant participants a right to Performance Shares, entailing the right, provided that certain conditions are fulfilled, to receive up to three Performance Shares free of charge. In addition to the requirement for the participant’s maintained employment and a retained Saving Share investment during the Vesting Period, certain conditions relating to the group’s adjusted EBITA growth per average outstanding ordinary share have also been adopted. Such growth shall, with certain exceptions in case of any extraordinary circumstances, be calculated on the basis of Sdiptech group’s annual reports for the financial years 2024, 2025 and 2026. The board of directors or the remuneration committee will resolve on the number of Saving Shares that each participant shall be entitled to invest in the share program, which shall be no less than 100 Saving Shares and no more than 3,000 Saving Shares, however in total aggregate no more than 30,000 Saving Shares.
The rationale for the share program is to create conditions for motivating and retaining competent employees of the Sdiptech group as well as for the promotion of the company’s business strategy, long term interest and a sustainable business, and for the alignment of the targets of the employees with those of the company, as well as to increase the motivation of meeting and exceeding Sdiptech’s financial targets.
The proposals by the board of directors on a directed issue, repurchase of own shares and transfer of own shares, respectively, to ensure delivery of shares in the company under the share program were not approved by the general meeting. In order to ensure delivery of shares to the participants in the share program, the board of directors may enter into a swap agreement with a third party.
