Program Context and Treasury Holdings

The Board of Directors intends to propose to the 2027 Annual General Meeting that the repurchased shares, excluding those used for share-related incentive programs, be cancelled.

What the Numbers Show
The data reveals a steady accumulation strategy rather than opportunistic timing. Daily volumes remained tightly clustered between 1.84 million and 1.92 million shares, indicating a consistent daily allocation despite price fluctuations. The weighted average price for the week was SEK 93.0880, sitting near the midpoint of the observed range (SEK 91.7652 to SEK 93.7513), suggesting the execution algorithm balanced cost against volume targets effectively throughout the period.
