The transfer of the warrants to the participants in the incentive program shall be made at market value.

Each warrant entitles the holder, during the period from June 12, 2028 to December 11, 2028, to subscribe for one (1) new share in Byggmax Group AB (publ) at a subscription price corresponding to 125 percent of the volume-weighted average price paid for the Byggmax share on Nasdaq Stockholm during a period of ten (10) business days from and including May 10, 2023.

The participants' acquisition of warrants is subsidized by the Byggmax Group through the participants receiving a cash bonus that, after individual tax, corresponds to not more than 50 percent of the price of the warrants acquired by the respective participants. This bonus will be paid out with 1/5 annually starting one year after subscription, and with the last payment five years after subscription and requires that before each payment the respective participant is still an employee of the Byggmax Group and still holds the acquired warrants or, where applicable, the shares subscribed through exercising the warrants.
