Acquisition and transfer of own shares
The Meeting resolved, in accordance with the Board’s proposal, to authorise the Board, during the period until the next Annual General Meeting, to acquire a maximum number of Class B shares so that the Company’s holding of treasury shares at no time exceeds ten (10) per cent of the total number of shares in the Company. Acquisitions are to be carried out on Nasdaq Stockholm in accordance with the Stock Exchange’s Rule Book for Issuers at a price that is within the registered price range at any given time, meaning the range between the highest purchase price and the lowest selling price. Acquisitions are to be paid for in cash and may be carried out on one or more occasions.
The Meeting also resolved, in accordance with the Board’s proposal, to authorise the Board, prior to the next Annual General Meeting, to divest Class B shares held in treasury by the Company in a manner other than on Nasdaq Stockholm. This authorisation may be utilised on one or more occasions and encompasses all shares held in treasury by the Company at the time of the Board’s decision. The authorisation also entitles the Board to decide to deviate from the shareholders’ preferential rights and stipulates that payment may be made by other means than money.
The purpose of this authorisation is to be able to adapt the Group’s capital structure, to pay for future acquisitions of businesses and operations using treasury shares and to secure delivery of shares in connection with the Company's outstanding incentive programs from time to time.
At the statutory Board meeting following the Annual General Meeting, the Board resolved to exercise the authorisation it had received from the Meeting to be able to repurchase Class B shares in the Company during the period until the next Annual General Meeting.
New issue of up to 10 per cent of the number of shares as means of payment during acquisitions
The Meeting resolved, in accordance with the Board’s proposal, to authorise the Board, on one or more occasions during the period until the next Annual General Meeting, to decide to increase the Company’s share capital by means of a new issue of shares, though such issues should not entail an increase in the Company’s registered share capital or the number of shares in the Company by more than a total of 10 per cent, based on the Company’s registered share capital or number of shares before utilising the authorisation. The issue of new shares may be performed with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights and with or without provisions regarding non-cash issues or right of offset.
The purpose of the authorisation above and the grounds for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights are to improve Momentum Group’s opportunities to conduct or finance the acquisition of other companies, parts of companies or assets that the Board of Directors considers of value to the Company’s operations, or in connection therewith strengthen the Company’s own funds.
Long-term incentive program
The Annual General Meeting resolved, in accordance with the Board of Directors' proposal, to implement a long-term incentive program ("LTIP 2024") for the corporate management, including the President & CEO and Vice President, business unit managers, and other senior executives, a maximum of twelve employees.
The main purpose of LTIP 2024 is to create additional incentives for increased commitment and performance among the participants, to strengthen the possibilities of recruiting and retaining key personnel, and to create a common ownership interest between the participants and the shareholders. The Board of Directors intends to annually propose an incentive program with a corresponding structure.
The program, which involves a requirement for personal investment, consists of performance shares and may include up to a maximum of 108,250 shares of series B in the Company, equivalent to approximately 0.2 per cent of the total number of shares and votes in
