Repurchase of treasury shares and incentive programs
In May 2020 the AGM authorised the Board of Directors during the period up until the 2021 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 options programs. During the financial year, 500,000 (640,000) class B treasury shares were repurchased. The average number of class B treasury shares held during the financial year was 2,370,836 (1,913,620). At year-end the number of class B treasury shares was 2,010,845 (565,250) with an average purchase price of SEK 52.12 (49.94). The shares account for 1.8 percent (2.0) of shares issued and 1.3 percent (1.4) of votes.
At year-end AddLife had four outstanding call option programs. Outstanding call options during the financial year resulted in an estimated dilutive effect based on the period's average share price of approximately 0.1 percent (0.2).
The Board intends to propose to the Annual General Meeting in May 2021 an incentive program based on the same, or substantially similar, model as was approved at the AGM in 2020.
