The Board of Directors’ proposal to authorise the Board to purchase the Company’s own shares, valid until 30 June 2027, was unanimously approved. The authorisation is set out in an appendix to the Company’s Articles of Association and reads as follows:

“The Annual General Meeting of Kaldalón hf., held on 26 March 2026, resolves to authorise the Board of Directors of the Company, pursuant to Article 55 of the Icelandic Act on Public Limited Companies No. 2/1995, to purchase, on one or more occasions on behalf of the Company, its own shares, provided, however, that the Company and its subsidiaries may not hold more than 10% of the Company’s share capital in total. This authorisation shall be used for the purpose of establishing a formal share repurchase programme or making shareholders a general offer for the Company’s purchase of its own shares, for example by way of a tender offer, provided that equal treatment is ensured in respect of participation in such transactions. Shares acquired by the Company on the basis of this authorisation may, inter alia, be used to reduce the Company’s share capital and/or for the purpose of fulfilling the Company’s obligations under stock option agreements or subscription agreements with employees.

In the event of a repurchase, the highest permissible consideration for each share shall not exceed the price of the last independent trade or the highest current independent bid on the trading venues where trading in the shares takes place, whichever is higher. Such purchases are, however, permitted if carried out by a market maker within the meaning of the Act on Markets in Financial Instruments or in connection with repurchase programmes or stabilisation measures within the meaning of Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on market abuse, cf. the Icelandic Act on Measures Against Market Abuse No. 60/2021. The Company’s transactions in its own shares shall be disclosed in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. This authorisation shall remain in effect until 30 June 2027.”
