long-term variable compensation program financial

"In conjunction with the delivery of vested shares under the long-term variable compensation program I and II 2023"

A long-term variable compensation program is a pay plan that ties a portion of executives’ or employees’ rewards to performance measured over several years, often paid in company stock, stock-based awards, or multi-year cash bonuses. It matters to investors because it shapes management incentives and can encourage decisions that boost or harm long-term shareholder value, while also affecting potential stock dilution and future cash needs—like paying a manager based on the success of multiple future harvests.

performance share awards financial

"liabilities on behalf of the participants in relation to the performance share awards"

Performance share awards are grants of company stock that executives or employees receive only if the business reaches specific financial or operational goals over a set period. They matter to investors because they align management’s pay with company performance—like a bonus that pays in shares only when targets are hit—so successful outcomes can boost future earnings and share value while failures mean the awards are forfeited.

Nasdaq Stockholm market

"The transfer of these shares may take place on Nasdaq Stockholm during the period"

Nasdaq Stockholm is the main stock exchange in Sweden where shares of Swedish and other Nordic companies are bought and sold; think of it as a large, regulated marketplace or auction house that sets prices by matching buyers and sellers. It matters to investors because where a company lists affects how easily its shares can be traded, how transparent pricing is, and whether the stock is included in regional indexes or funds that can drive buying or selling.

social security liabilities financial

"to cover costs for withholding and paying tax and social security liabilities on behalf of the participants"

annual general meeting regulatory
