Chapter 6, Section 2a of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act requires listed companies to disclose specific circumstances that may affect the prospects for acquiring the Company via a public share offer. In the event of the Company being delisted from Nasdaq OMX Stockholm or a party other than the present principal shareholder attaining an ownership holding exceeding 50 percent of the capital or votes, the granted credit line in terms of contractual credit facilities of SEK 400 million and overdraft facilities of SEK 1,100 million can be terminated.

Repurchase of treasury shares and incentive programmes

The Annual General Meeting in August 2016 authorised the Board of Directors to repurchase a maximum of ten percent of all shares in the Company during the period until the Annual General Meeting in 2017. During the financial year Addtech repurchased 300,000 of its own Class B shares. At year-end the number of treasury shares was 1,374,721 (1,240,000), with an average purchase price of SEK 81.17 (68.83). These shares correspond to 2.0 percent (1.8) of the number of shares issued and 1.4 percent (1.3) of the votes.

Addtech has four outstanding call option programmes for a total of 1,374,721 shares. Call options issued on repurchased shares entail a dilution effect of about 0.3 percent during the latest 12-month period. Addtech’s own shareholdings fully meet the needs of the outstanding call option programmes.

The Board intends to propose that the Annual General Meeting in August 2017 approve an incentive programme according to the same, or an essentially similar, model as decided at the 2009-2016 AGMs.
