Ericsson's Share Buyback Program: September 28 - October 2, 2026

During the five-day period from September 28 to October 2, 2026, Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson engaged in substantial share repurchases, reflecting a strategic effort to enhance shareholder value. These transactions are part of a larger share buyback scheme valued at up to SEK 15 billion, announced earlier in April 2026, which is expected to continue until the end of March 2027.

Overview of the Buybacks

The share buybacks included:

• - September 28, 2026: 1,842,000 shares purchased at a weighted average price of SEK 93.5612, totaling SEK 172,339,730.40.
• - September 29, 2026: 1,851,000 shares at SEK 93.7513, with a total value of SEK 173,533,656.30.

In total, Ericsson repurchased 9,370,000 shares during this timeframe with an overall average price of SEK 93.0880, representing a total investment of SEK 872,234,451.60.

Strategic Intentions and Future Plans

The intention behind these buybacks is clear: to optimize the capital structure and provide enhanced returns to shareholders. As part of this initiative, the Board of Directors has proposed that the repurchased shares, excluding those earmarked for employee incentive plans, be canceled at the 2027 Annual General Meeting. This move underscores Ericsson's commitment to maintaining a robust financial posture while rewarding its investors.

Regulatory Compliance

All share repurchases were conducted in alignment with European regulations on market abuse (EU Regulation No. 596/2014) and were facilitated through Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE on the Nasdaq Stockholm exchange. This ensures that the transactions adhered to all market regulations and standards, reinforcing investor confidence in Ericsson's operations.

Following the completion of these transactions, Ericsson's treasury stock now comprises 117,888,663 Class B shares, highlighting a significant stake in its own equity.

Conclusion

Ericsson continues to demonstrate a proactive approach to capital management and shareholder engagement with its ongoing buyback program. This initiative not only reflects the company's confidence in its long-term growth prospects but also signals to the market its dedication to increasing value for shareholders. As the program progresses, investors will be keenly observing the impacts on both share value and overall company performance.
