Under the authorization the company may, in conjunction with the delivery of vested shares under the long-term variable compensation programs 2019 and 2020 (“LTV 2019” and “LTV 2020”), prior to the annual general meeting in 2024, decide to retain and sell no more than 60% of the vested shares of series B in the company in order to cover for the costs for withholding and paying tax and social security liabilities on behalf of the participants in relation to the performance share awards for remittance to revenue authorities.
