According to Chapter 6, Section 2a of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, listed companies are required to disclose specific circumstances that may affect the possibility of a take-over of the company through a public offer for shares in the company. Most of the credit lines granted may be terminated in the event that the company is delisted from Nasdaq Stockholm, or that shareholders other than the current principal shareholders acquire more than 50 percent of the capital or voting rights.

Repurchase of treasury shares and incentive programs
In May 2023 the AGM authorised the Board of Directors during the period up until the 2024 AGM to buy back a maximum of ten percent of all shares in the company.

The repurchased shares are intended to cover the company's commitment to outstanding call option programs. No shares were repurchased during the financial year. The average number of class B treasury shares held during the financial year was 593,759 (671,360). At year-end the number of class B treasury shares was 593,189 (613,989) with an average purchase price of SEK 100.56 (100.56). The shares account for 0.5 percent (0.5) of shares issued and 0.4 percent (0.4) of votes.

At year-end AddLife had four outstanding call option programs. Outstanding call options on treasury shares during the financial year resulted in an estimated dilutive effect based on the period's average share price of approximately 0.0 percent (0.4).

The Board intends to propose to the Annual General Meeting in May 2024 an incentive programme according to a new model compared to the model approved by the AGM in 2023.
