Additional Comments

This share repurchase strategy not only signals confidence in the company’s future growth trajectory but also serves as a countermeasure against share price volatility. By reducing the number of shares available in the market, companies often aim to drive up share prices, reflecting a common practice among publicly traded firms facing competitive market pressures.

As the company looks ahead, EQT AB remains committed to maximizing shareholder returns while navigating the complexities of the financial markets and evolving its business operations effectively.
