3)The shares allocated to the Board of Directors last year as part of the remuneration after the AGM 2025 were determined based on the volume-weighted average price for the period from 1 March 2025 to 14 April 2025, with the number of shares at the applicable tax value rounded up to the nearest whole number. The exact number was not yet known at the time of publication of the financial report 2024. Consequently, there are minor differences compared with the figures reported last year.
