The remuneration report has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 8, Section 53 a, of the Swedish Companies Act (2005:551) and the rules on remuneration issued by the Stock Market Self-Regulation Committee.
No deviations from the established process to determine remuneration for senior executives in accordance with the guidelines for remuneration of senior executives have occurred during 2023.

In the case of deviations from the shareholders’ preferential rights, the shares will be issued at market terms and conditions.
