The extraordinary general meeting held on 22 December 2021 resolved, conditionally to the execution of merger between the Evli Bank Plc and Fellow Finance Plc, to combine the class A shares and class B shares into one share class. The 20 votes conferred by class A shares are converted into one vote conferred by a share of the combined class so that after the combination of the share classes each share in the company confers one (1) vote.

The Annual General Meeting authorized the Board of Directors to decide on the repurchase of the company's shares (the combined share class) in one or more lots as follows:

The total number of own shares to be repurchased may be a maximum of 8,700,000 shares. The number of shares represents approximately 10 percent of all the shares of the company after the merger between the company and Fellow Finance Plc has been executed and the directed share issue taking place in connection with the merger has been duly completed.

Based on the authorization, the company's own shares may only be repurchased with unrestricted equity. The company's own shares may be repurchased at the price formed in public trading or at the price otherwise formed on the market on the purchase day.

The Board of Directors will decide how the company's own shares will be repurchased. The company's own shares may be repurchased in other proportion than the shareholders' proportional shareholdings (private purchase).

The authorization will replace earlier unused authorizations to repurchase the company's own shares. The authorization will be in force as of the execution of the merger between the company and Fellow Finance Plc until the next Annual General Meeting but no later than until 30 June 2023.

The authorization is conditional to the execution of the merger of the company and Fellow Finance Plc which was approved in the extraordinary general meeting held on 22 December 2021.
