Adoption of a long-term incentive programme
The AGM resolved to adopt a long-term incentive programme in the form of performance-based share options (Share Option Programme 2023) directed to employees within the Smart Eye group. The Share Option Programme 2023 is proposed to comprise of the CEO, senior executives, key individuals and other employees, meaning that not more than approximately 200 employees within the Smart Eye group will be able to participate. Under the Share Option Programme 2023, participants are given the opportunity to receive shares free of charge, so called performance shares. A prerequisite for receiving performance shares is that the price of the Smart Eye share at the end of the vesting period shall amount to at least 130 per cent of the average volume-weighted price for the Smart Eye share on Nasdaq First North Growth Market during the five (5) banking days following the AGM.

Authorisation for the Board of Directors to resolve on new share issues
The AGM resolved, in accordance with the Board of Directors' proposal, to authorise the Board of Directors, on one or several occasions and with or without deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, to resolve on new share issues. The authorisation may be utilised for new issues of shares, which may be made with provisions regarding contribution in cash, in kind or through set-off corresponding to not more than 10 per cent of the registered share capital in the Company at the time of the issue resolution. The subscription price shall be determined on market terms and conditions. Deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights shall be possible in connection with future investments in the form of acquisitions of operations, companies, shares in companies or otherwise for the Company's continued expansion. If the Board of Directors resolves on an issue with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, the rationale shall be that the Board of Directors shall be able to issue shares in the Company to be used as a means of in-kind payment or the right to offset debt or to in a flexible and cost-efficient manner raise capital to use as means of payment or to continuously adjust the Company's capital structure.
