The right to receive any Performance Shares is conditional upon the TSR during the Vesting Period being positive. ”TSR” means the sum of the price change of the Company’s ordinary share on Nasdaq Stockholm, added with the value of any reinvested cash dividends per share, during the Vesting Period. Hence, no Performance Shares will be allotted should the TSR not be positive during the Vesting Period.

(iii)                a CAGR above 4% but below or equal to 5% means that 25% to 70% of the Performance Shares shall be allotted in linear relation

(iv)                a CAGR above 5% but below or equal to 6% means that 70% to 85% of the Performance Shares shall be allotted in linear relation

(v)                 a CAGR above 6% means that the maximum number of Performance Shares shall be allotted

”Organic Growth” means change in net sales during the current period, excluding acquisitions and currency effects, in relation to net sales of the corresponding period of the preceding year.

Requirement 2 is based on the Adjusted EBITDA in relations to Revenues, EBITDA margin, during the financial years 2024-2026, and:

(i)                   an EBITDA margin below 31.1% means that no Performance Shares shall be allotted

(ii)                  an EBITDA margin above or equal to 31.1% but below or equal to 31.5% means that 0% to 25% of the Performance Shares shall be allotted in linear relation

(iii)                an EBITDA margin above 31.5% but below or equal to 31.8% means that 25% to 70% of the Performance Shares shall be allotted in linear relation

(iv)                an EBITDA margin above 31.8% but below or equal to 32.7% means that 70% to 85% of the Performance Shares shall be allotted in linear relation

Requirement 3 is based on obtaining synergies by integrating the units acquired 30 November 2022, and obtaining synergies from the Acceleration Initiative announced on 14 February 2024, during the financial years 2024-2026, and:

(i)                   a Synergy below 146 MSEK means that no Performance Shares shall be allotted

(ii)                  a Synergy equal to or above 146 MSEK means that the maximum number of Performance Shares shall be allotted

”Synergy” means EBITDA improvement based on integration of the units acquired on 30 November 2022, and the Acceleration Initiative announced on 14 February 2024.

Requirement 4 is based on certain ESG criterias, during the financial years 2024-2026, and:

(i)                   if all ESG criterias are met (or exceeded) means that all Performance Shares shall be allotted

(ii)                  if not all of the ESG criterias are met no Performance Shares shall be allotted

 ”ESG criterias” means targets for Environmental, Social and Governance parameters within the Karnov Group decided by the Board of Directors and in line with the targets in the group’s annual and sustainability reporting. Information about the outcome of Requirement 4 will be provided no later than in the annual report for the financial year 2026.

  1. The Board of Directors shall for each Participant determine the number of Performance Shares that may be allotted within the applicable ranges set forth in item 3 above.
  2. The number of Performance Shares to be allotted (if any) may be recalculated by the Board of Directors in the event of share issues, share splits, reversed share splits or similar events.
  3. If significant changes occur in the Company or in the market, or in the event the costs for LTIP 2024 significantly exceed the estimated costs, and this, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, results in a situation where the conditions for allotment of Performance Shares become unreasonable, the Board of Directors is entitled to make adjustments to LTIP 2024, including, among other things, to resolve on a reduced allotment of Performance Shares, or to not allot any Performance Shares at all.
  4. Participation in LTIP 2024 requires that it is permitted and appropriate with regards to applicable laws and regulations in the jurisdiction in which the relevant Participant is resident and that the Board of Directors deems it feasible at reasonable administrative and financial costs.
  5. In the event delivery of Performance Shares to a Participant cannot take place under applicable law or at reasonable cost or with reasonable administrative effort, the Board of Directors may pay a part of the entire allotment to such Participant in cash instead of shares. The Board of Directors may also retain allotted Performance Shares and settle a part of the allotment in cash in order to facilitate the payment of the Participants’ tax liabilities.
  6. The Board of Directors is responsible for the detailed design and implementation of LTIP 2024. Accordingly, the Board of Directors is to prepare and execute any necessary full-text documentation to the Participants and otherwise manage and administer LTIP 2024.

 

Estimated costs for LTIP 2024

The costs for LTIP 2024 will be calculated in accordance with IFRS 2 and distributed over the Vesting Period.

Assuming a share price of SEK 65 at the time of implementation of LTIP 2024, that each Participant invests in Savings Shares up to the maximum amount, that 50 per cent of the maximum number of Performance Shares are allotted and an annual share price increase of 5 per cent during the Vesting Period, the total cost for LTIP 2024, including social security costs (at an average rate of 10 per cent), is estimated to approximately SEK 12.9 million.

 

Assuming a share price of SEK 65 at the time of implementation of LTIP 2024, that each Participant invests in Savings Shares up to the maximum amount, that the maximum number of Performance Shares are allotted and an annual share price increase of 5 per cent during the Vesting Period, the total cost for LTIP 2024, including social security costs (at an average rate of 10 per cent), is estimated to approximately SEK 26.3 million.

 

Effects on key ratios

The costs for LTIP 2024 are expected to have a marginal effect on the group’s key ratios.

 

Dilution effect

In order to secure delivery of shares under LTIP 2024 and to secure and cover social security charges, the Company will issue and acquire 356,915 own shares of series C, corresponding to approximately 0.3 per cent of the total number of shares and votes in the Company (as per the date of notice of the AGM, the number of shares in the Company amounts to 108,102,047 shares).
