Repurchase of treasury shares and incentive programs

In May 2025 the Annual General Meeting authorised the Board of Directors during the period up until the 2026 Annual General Meeting 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 586,189 (587,298). At year-end the number of class B treasury shares was 586,189 (586,189) 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 two outstanding incentive programmes based on call options, corresponding to a total of 355,800 class B shares. Issued call options on repurchased shares entailed a calculated dilution effect during the financial year, based on the average share price for the period, of approximately 0.0 percent (0.0).

AddLife also has two outstanding incentive programmes based on performance shares corresponding to a maximum of 169,566 of the Company’s class B shares, which corresponds to approximately 0.1 percent of the total number of shares. Participants receive performance shares provided that their employment continues, the investment shares are retained and the performance conditions are met. These are based on average annual earnings growth (EBITA) over the vesting period and sustainability-related targets.

The Board of Directors intends to propose to the Annual General Meeting in May 2026 an incentive programme based on the same, or essentially similar, structure as the programme resolved by the Annual General Meeting in 2025.

Dividend

AddLife’s dividend policy involves a target of a dividend corresponding to 30–50 percent of the Group’s profit after tax. When proposing dividends, the Group’s equity, long-term financing and investment needs, growth plans and other factors that the company’s Board of Directors deems important are taken into account. 

The Board of Directors has decided to propose to the Annual General Meeting in May 2026 that the company should pay a dividend of SEK 1.50 (0.75) per share. The dividend corresponds to a total of SEK 183 million (91), which corresponds to a payout ratio of 33 percent (36).
