CEO's review

About CapMan CEO's review

We are CapMan – we make things happen CEO'S REVIEW

Looking back at year 2024, I feel proud to see what we have accomplished despite the continued uncertainty and challenging market environment. We have taken several significant steps to accelerate the growth of our asset management business and executed our long-term strategy as planned. The nature of our business, private asset investing, is long-term focused and therefore requires resilience and commitment through different market cycles. The ability to seek opportunities and create value also in the slower transaction market is one of our key strengths.

We have achieved several significant strategic successes during the year. The acquisition of Dasos Capital was completed in March 2024, establishing a new investment area CapMan Natural Capital. The acquisition supports our strategy both from growth and sustainability perspectives, increasing our assets under management as well as opportunities in sustainable investment. Complementing our real estate and infrastructure investment areas with sustainable timberland and natural capital investing positions CapMan as a leader in unlisted real asset strategies in the Nordics.

In October 2024, we took a significant step in the execution of CapMan's strategy by divesting our service business CaPS for EUR 75 million. The transaction releases capital and will allow allocating more resources to accelerate the growth of our asset management business, that is at the core of our strategy. CaPS developed strongly as part of CapMan, but with limited operational links to the rest of the group, it was a natural time for the divestment. The proceeds from the transaction will be used to grow the asset management business, decrease interest bearing debt, and enable strong dividend distribution.

Our growth strategy remains ambitious, with the target to increase our assets under management to EUR 10 billion. With a strong growth of 22% this year,

Making things happen

exceeding the overall market growth rate, and current assets under management at EUR 6.1 billion, we have truly shown our resilience and ability to grow also in a more challenging market environment.

Significant milestones in the journey towards becoming the most responsible private assets company in the Nordics

In 2024 it was especially the increased geopolitical tension in several regions that caused uncertainty in the operating environment. It is the fifth consecutive year, since the outbreak of the pandemic in 2020, in which we have operated through continuous shocks to both the economic and geopolitical environment, from increasing inflation and interest rates, rocketing energy prices, supply chain disruptions to increased political tension in various regions. During times of uncertainty like this, it is even more vital that we keep focused on the long-term vision and continue to take systematic and concrete steps towards creating a sustainable future in a way that generates strong returns for our investors over the cycles.

As a Nordic active and significant owner, we are ideally positioned to drive change towards well governed, environmentally and socially sustainable businesses and assets. Our impact comes through decisions, target-setting and finding opportunities to create value from more sustainable operating models and mitigating environmental and social challenges.

"

We have achieved several significant strategic successes during the year.

For us as a private assets manager and investor, sustainability is about working together with the stakeholders in our investment portfolio to help them transform.

CapMan wants to show leadership in tackling sustainability holistically, covering not only climate but in all our investment areas work towards nature positive approaches, that take into account the impact on all planetary boundaries, while building equitable, socially responsible businesses that respect human rights across the value chain. When it comes to emission reduction, we have made the commitment within the Science-Based Targets initiative to achieve net zero emissions by 2040, a decade ahead of the global target. This year we have also set sustainability performance targets that are linked to CapMan's Sustainability-Linked Bond Framework. The linked KPIs cover over 90% of CapMan's total emissions. This way

CONTINUES

sustainability performance is integrated in our funding, and awareness around our commitment to sustainability goals is increased, as this offers an opportunity to communicate about our work within sustainability in a dedicated and frequent manner. We have also introduced sustainability metrics as part of variable renumeration, and part of the long-term share-based incentives are determined following the achievement of sustainability targets.

Successful fundraisings and investment activity

In the beginning of March, we closed the acquisition of Dasos Capital and established Natural Capital as a new investment area for CapMan. In April, we successfully completed two flagship fundraisings. CapMan Nordic Infrastructure II fund held its final close reaching EUR 375 million, which is a doubling in size compared to the Infrastructure I fund. The investment strategy is attractive especially for international institutional investors, and around 70% of the capital in the fund comes from outside the Nordics. CapMan Growth Equity III fund held a first close above target size in February, and a final close at hard cap of EUR 130 million in April. The fast fundraising and the high quality of the investor base is a testament to the stellar performance of the strategy. In total, we raised some EUR 570 million of new capital during 2024.

Our transaction activity across strategies has stayed high with thirteen new investments and seven exits during the year. Through the investments we do from our funds and the value creation carried out in each asset during our ownership we contribute to building the society we want to see in the future. Our impact on the Nordic economies and societies is significant, with EUR 2.5 billion of aggregate turnover in 49 portfolio companies and 13,900 employees, and with 222

properties and 10,400 tenants. In addition, CapMan Natural Capital contributes to sustainable, low-carbon development with responsibly managed 240,000 hectares of land.

CONTINUES

In the annual GRESB (Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark) assessment our participating Real Estate and Infrastructure funds improved their scores and are among the top funds in their respective peer groups. This is testament to our active ownership approach to integrate financial and sustainability value creation.

Strengthened focus on the asset management business

Over the coming years CapMan seeks to significantly grow earnings from its asset management business by a combination of continued growth and improved relative profitability, as the operations scale. As demonstrated in 2024, this is achieved by increasing

The long-term outlook for the private assets market remains strong and I look forward to elaborating on our strategic ambitions further in our next Capital Markets Day in March 2025. We are committed to continuing to build value for the enrichment of society.

8. Internal control and risk management

The aim of CapMan's internal control and risk management is to ensure that the company's operations are efficient, appropriate, reliable and in compliance with regulation, and that risks associated with the company's business and objectives are identified and appropriately monitored and managed. The group's internal control system is an essential part of the group's management system and consists of organisation structure, policies, processes, working instructions, allocation of tasks and responsibilities, approval authorisations, manual and automated controls, monitoring reports and reviews. The Board and the CEO are responsible for the internal control and the risk management but the internal control is conducted on all levels of the organisation, in all business and support functions. Each employee is individually responsible for the compliance of policies and instructions and for reporting the faults and malpractice to his/her supervisor or other designated persons.

9. Internal control and risk management pertaining to the financial reporting

The internal control and risk management pertaining to the financial reporting process is part of CapMan's overall internal control framework. The key roles and responsibilities for internal control and risk management have been defined in the group's internal guidelines which are approved and updated by the management and/or the Board of Directors of the company.

CapMan's internal control and risk management concerning financial reporting is designed to provide, inter alia, reasonable assurance concerning the reliability, comprehensiveness and timeliness of the financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, generally accepted accounting principles and other requirements for listed companies. The objective is also to promote good corporate governance and risk management practices and to ensure the compliance with laws, regulation and CapMan's internal policies.

9.1 General description of the financial reporting process

CapMan's operating model is based on having a local presence in Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Luxembourg and the UK, and operating the organisation across national borders. CapMan's subsidiaries and branches in seven countries report their results on a monthly or quarterly basis to the parent company. The bookkeeping function is mainly outsourced.

Financial information is assembled, captured, analysed, and distributed in accordance with existing processes and procedures. The group has a common reporting and consolidation system that facilitates compliance with a set of common control requirements. The monthly accounting entries of the most significant subsidiaries and branches are transferred to the group's reporting system on an entry-by-entry level. The other subsidiaries submit their figures either monthly or quarterly to the group accounting to be entered to the group reporting system for consolidation. The reported figures are reviewed by subsidiaries' accountants as well as by group accounting team. Group accounting also monitors the balance sheet and income statement items by analytically reviewing the figures. The consolidated accounts of CapMan are prepared in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU.

9.2 Control and risk management of the financial reporting process

The Board has the overall responsibility for the proper arrangement of internal control and risk management over financial reporting. The Board has appointed the Audit and Risk Committee to undertake the more specific tasks in relation to financial and sustainability reporting process control such as monitoring the financial statements reporting process, the supervision of the financial reporting process, overview of sustainability (including climate) risks and monitoring the efficiency of the company's internal control. The Audit and Risk Committee also reviews regularly the main features of the internal control and risk management systems pertaining to the financial reporting process.

The management of the group is responsible for the implementation of internal control and risk management processes and for ascertaining their operational effectiveness. The management is also responsible for ensuring that the company's accounting practices comply with laws and regulations and that the company's financial and sustainability matters are managed in a reliable and consistent manner.

The CEO leads the risk management process by defining and allocating responsibility areas. The CEO has nominated the group's COO as risk manager to be in charge of coordinating the overall risk management process. The risk manager reports to the Audit and Risk Committee on matters concerning internal control and risk management. The management has allocated responsibility for establishing more specific internal control policies and procedures to personnel in charge of different functions. The group's management and accounting departments possess appropriate levels of authority and responsibility to facilitate effective internal control over financial reporting.

9.3 Risk assessment and control activities

Risks related to the financial reporting process are identified through the objectives of financial reporting. The risk assessment process is designed to identify financial reporting risks and to determine how these risks should be managed. The risk assessment process also considers sustainability risks that relates to material financial outcomes. Control activities based on risk assessments are determined for all levels of the organisation. These activities include guidelines and instructions, approvals, authorisations, verifications, reconciliations, analytical reviews, and segregation of duties.

In the annual risk assessment process of the group, the identified risks are reviewed, the risk management control activities are mapped and the effects of potential new identified risks are evaluated. The objectives and responsibilities of the risk management process as well as the determination of the risk-appetite were reviewed during 2024.

9.4 Information and communication pertaining to the financial reporting

CapMan has defined the roles and responsibilities pertaining to financial reporting as a part of the group's information and communication practices. External and internal information

regarding financial reporting and its internal control is gathered systematically, and relevant information on the group's transactions is provided to the management. Up-to-date information relevant for the financial reporting is presented in a timely manner to the relevant functions such as the Board and the Management Group. All external communications are carried out in accordance with the group disclosure policy, which is available on the company's website: https://capman.com/shareholders/ governance/policies/

9.5 The organisation and monitoring of internal control activities

To ensure the effectiveness of internal control pertaining to financial reporting, monitoring activities are conducted at all levels of the organisation. Monitoring is performed through ongoing follow-up activities, separate evaluations or a combination of the two. Separate internal audit assignments may be initiated by the Board or management. The scope and frequency of separate evaluations depend primarily on the assessment of risks and the effectiveness of ongoing monitoring procedures. Internal control deficiencies are reported to the management, and serious matters to the Audit and Risk Committee and the Board.

Group accounting performs monthly consistency checks of income statement and balance sheet for subsidiaries and business areas. The group accounting team also conducts management fee and cost analysis, quarterly fair value change checks, impairment and cash flow checks as well as control of IFRS and other applicable regulatory changes. The Audit and Risk Committee and the Board regularly review group-level financial reports, including comparison of actual figures with prior periods and budgets, other forecasts, monthly cash flow estimates and covenant levels. In addition, the Audit and Risk Committee monitors in more detail, among others, the reporting process (including the management's discretionary evaluations), risk management, internal control and audit.

The Risk and Valuations team, which is independent from the investment teams, is responsible for the quarterly valuation process, monitoring and forecasting fair value movements and

preparing the models for and calculating carried interest income for the funds under the management of the Group.

CapMan's subsidiaries holding a license to act as alternative investment fund manager or investment firm granted by the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority, have separate risk management and internal audit functions as required by applicable laws.

The compliance function oversees that the operations of the CapMan group comply with regulation and that the group companies will adopt the relevant new regulations promptly.

CapMan – Remuneration Report 2024

This Remuneration Report ("Report") of CapMan Plc ("CapMan" or "Company") describes the implementation of the Company's Remuneration Policy and provides information on the remuneration of the Company's Board of directors ("Board") and CEO in the financial year 2024. The Report has been prepared in accordance with Finnish legislation and the Finnish Corporate Governance Code 2025. This Report will be presented at the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") on 25 March 2025 for advisory vote.

The AGM 2023 adopted the Remuneration Policy for Company's governing bodies through advisory resolution. The Remuneration Policy is available on the Company's website (www.capman.com/shareholders/governance/compensation/). The Remuneration Report 2023 was adopted through advisory resolution in the AGM 2024.

1. Introduction

Remuneration Report

1.1 Implementation of the Remuneration Policy in 2024

The AGM 2024 decided on the remuneration of the members of the Board in accordance with the proposal by the Shareholders' Nomination Board. The Shareholders' Nomination Board consists of representatives of the largest shareholders and, thereby, the Board is not involved in the preparation of its own remuneration.

According to the decision of the AGM 2024, the members of the Company's Board were paid monthly remuneration and meeting fees in 2024. In 2024, as in 2023, all remuneration was paid in cash. The Board fees are described in the table below.

The Remuneration Committee of CapMan's Board convened three times in 2024 to prepare matters concerning the remuneration of the Company's CEO and other management. Based on the preparation of the Remuneration Committee the Board decided on short-term incentive rewards to the Company's management (other than CEO) regarding financial year 2023 which were paid in March 2024. In addition, the Board decided on the management's (other than CEO) short-term incentive programme for the financial year of 2024. In accordance with the Board's previous decision in principle, the CEO has not in recent years been included in the short-term incentive programmes. Based on the Company's current situation, the Board has outlined that the CEO's variable remuneration is to be based mainly on long-term incentives.

According to the Board's opinion, the decision-making on remuneration complied with the decision-making process described in the Remuneration Policy, and the remuneration components are consistent with the principles set out in the Policy, and there has been no deviation from the Remuneration Policy. No clawback was exercised to the remuneration of the Board or CEO.

1.2 Focus on Long-Term Remuneration with a Share-Based Incentive Programme

The Company aims at maintaining attractive, competitive, fair and sustainable remuneration which strives to achieving strategic business objectives of the Company in short-term and especially in the long-term. The Board has emphasised the significance of the strategic long-term success with sustainability as the Company's key objective by attaching the CEO's variable remuneration entirely to long-term incentive programme including sustainability performance targets. The CEO is excluded from the short-term incentive programme.

The Company had one active share-based incentive programme at the end of 2024. The program is targeted for the CEO, management group and selected key employees, altogether approximately 20 people in the CapMan Group. The aim of the programme is to align the objectives of the shareholders and the key employees in order to increase the value of the Company in the long-term. Additionally, the programme aims to retain the key employees at the Company, and to offer them a competitive reward plan that is based on each participant investing, owning, earning and accumulating their ownership of Company's shares. The contents of the programme is summarised below. Information about the programme is also available on the Company's website at https://www.capman.com/shareholders/ governance/compensation/.

1.2.1 Performance Share Plan 2022–2025

The Performance Share Plan 2022–2025 (the "Plan") includes three performance periods. The performance periods commenced on 1 April 2022. Two first performance periods ended on 31 March 2023 and 31 March 2024, and the third performance period will end on 31 March 2025. The participants may earn a performance-based reward from each of the performance periods and a matching reward from the 2022–2025 period. The rewards from the Plan are paid in the Company's shares one year after each reward determination, i.e. in 2024, 2025, and 2026. The shares paid as reward may not be transferred during the one-year lock-up periods.

The prerequisite for receiving a reward from the Plan is that a participant acquired Company shares or allocated previously owned Company shares to the Plan up to the number determined by the Board. The reward is based on the Total Shareholder Return (TSR), the achievement of sustainability-linked targets, and on the participant's employment or service upon reward payment. The sustainability-linked targets are as follows:

  • Set science-based targets for climate, have the targets validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative and thereafter follow the GHG emission reduction plan;
  • Maintain the employee satisfaction eNPS survey at a high level on a yearly basis;
  • Include relevant and quantifiable ESG targets in the CapMan Group employee bonus programme for all eligible personnel. ESG targets should count for minimum 5% of the employee evaluation score by April 2025;
  • Set mid- and long-term percentage targets by the end of 2023 on gender diversity, including targets for appointments for Management Group and Partner level, and targets for new recruits throughout the CapMan organisation. CapMan should reach the mid-term target by April 2025.

The maximum reward under the Plan is 4.25× the number of shares the participant has allocated to the Plan. Of the 4.25×, a maximum of 3.5× is linked to TSR, 0.5× is the matching part and 0.25× is linked to the achievement of the four sustainability-linked targets with equal weights (i.e. 25% each).

Current CEO, Pia Kåll, has participated in the Plan in her previous role as a member of the Management Group with the maximum number of shares determined by the Board (30 000 shares) until 15 March 2023. In connection with her appointment as the CEO in March 2023, the Board determined to increase the maximum number of the shares she is allowed to allocate to the Plan to 250 000 shares in aggregate, and Kåll participated accordingly.

Report of the Board of Directors 2024

CapMan has classified CaPS business as a discontinued operation in the income statement and restated the comparison periods' figures accordingly.

Operating expenses were MEUR 48.7 (MEUR 44.4) with the main items being:

  • Personnel expenses MEUR 33.3 (MEUR 32.2)
  • Depreciations and amortisations MEUR 2.4 (MEUR 1.4)
  • Other operating expenses MEUR 13.0 (MEUR 10.9).

Fair value changes of investments were MEUR +7.8 (MEUR –6.1), corresponding to a return of +4.5% (–3.4%) per annum.

Operating profit was MEUR 16.7 (MEUR –1.2). The comparable operating profit was MEUR 19.0 (MEUR 0.8) as Fee profit, Carried interest, and Fair value changes were all above the comparison period.

Assets under management as at 31 December 2024

Assets under management refers to the remaining investment capacity of funds and capital already invested at acquisition cost or at fair value when referring to mandates and open-ended funds. Assets under management is calculated based on the capital, which forms the basis for management fees, and includes primarily equity without accounting for the funds' debt. AUM is impacted by fundraising, exits and fair value changes for open-ended funds as well as wealth management.

Assets under management were MEUR 6,063 as at 31 December 2024 (31 December 2023: MEUR 5,005). The increase was due to the acquisition of Dasos Capital, which now forms the Natural Capital investment area, and some MEUR 570 of new capital raised during the period. Assets under management per fund type are displayed in Table 1.

Management Company business

In its Management Company business, CapMan manages private asset funds and offers wealth advisory services. Income from the Management company business is derived from management fees, wealth advisory fees, property- and asset management fees, and carried interest received from funds.

Fee income grew by 16% driven by management fee growth mainly due to the final closings of CapMan Nordic Infrastructure II and Growth Equity III funds as well as the acquisition of Dasos Capital completed on 1 March 2024.

Carried interest was received mainly due to exits from the Nest 2015 fund. Nearly all investments in the fund have now been exited. In the comparison period, CapMan received Carried interest mainly from the Growth Equity I fund.

Turnover grew by 18% during the period due to both Fee income and Carried interest income growth.

Operating expenses grew by 10%. Most of the growth in operating expenses is explained by the acquisition of Dasos Capital. Comparable operating profit grew to MEUR 18.3 (MEUR 13.7) mainly due to fee profit growth. Items impacting comparability mainly consist of expenses related to the acquisition of Dasos Capital.

The fee profit of the segment increased to MEUR 14.0 (MEUR 10.6) driven by fee income growth and improved relative profitability.

Service business

In the Service business, CapMan no longer have continuing active businesses. Previously included procurement services (CaPS) have been classified as a discontinued operation and therefore removed from the segment information for the reporting and comparison periods. The remaining part of the Service business contains the discounting impact of long-term trade receivables

stemming from the earlier advisory services. Until 1 February 2023 the segment also included the since divested JAY Solutions.

As the segment generates no carried interest or fair value changes, the fee profit equals the operating profit of the segment, and was MEUR 0.3 (MEUR 0.3).

Investment business

Through its Investment business, CapMan invests from its own balance sheet in the private markets asset classes and mainly to its own funds. In addition to own funds, CapMan selectively invests in private market funds managed by external fund managers.

Fair value changes were MEUR 7.8 (MEUR –6.1), corresponding to a 4.5% (–3.4%) change in fair value during the reporting period.

Investments into funds managed by CapMan developed on average positively contributing MEUR 8.3 (MEUR –0.3), corresponding to a 6.9% (–0.2%) change in fair value, mainly due to positive development in private equity funds.

Investments into external funds developed negatively with fair value changes of MEUR –0.5 (MEUR –5.8), corresponding to a change of –1.0% (–10.1%).

Operating profit for the Investment business was MEUR 6.9 (MEUR –6.6).

Fee loss was MEUR –0.9 (MEUR –0.5). As the segment generates no fee income, the fee profit equals to the operating expenses of the segment.

On 31 December 2024 the fair value of CapMan's fund investments stood at MEUR 167.2 (MEUR 158.9). Of the total, MEUR 128.1 (MEUR 108.0) is invested into funds managed by CapMan and MEUR 39.1 (MEUR 50.9) is invested into external funds. The value of external fund investments decreased during the period mainly due to a secondary transaction completed in December 2024. New external fund investments are currently not planned and thereby the share of external fund investments and their impact on Group level fair value changes will decrease over time.

Investments in portfolio companies are valued at fair value in accordance with the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines (IPEVG). Investments in real estate and natural capital are valued at fair value based on appraisals made by independent external experts. Valuation of external funds is based primarily on fair values reported by respective external fund managers. Sensitivity analysis by investment area is presented in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Section 18 Investments at fair value through profit and loss.

Balance sheet and financial position as at 31 December 2024

CapMan's balance sheet totalled MEUR 343.3 as at 31 December 2024 (31 December 2023: MEUR 241.5), of which goodwill amounted to MEUR 30.1 (MEUR 7.9). Cash in hand and at banks amounted to MEUR 90.1 (MEUR 41.0).

CapMan's total equity amounted to MEUR 202.6 (MEUR 115.1). The increase in equity was mainly due to the directed share issue related to the acquisition of Dasos Capital completed on 1 March 2024. Interest-bearing net debt amounted to MEUR 12.4 (MEUR 52.8). CapMan's total interest-bearing debt as at 31 December 2024 is outlined in Table 2.

CapMan's interest bearing debt increased due to the issue of a MEUR 60.0 sustainability-linked bond maturing in 2029. The proceeds of the bond were used for the tender offer of the bond maturing in 2025 and general company purposes.

CapMan's bonds and long-term credit facility include financing covenants, which are conditional on the company's equity ratio and net gearing ratio. CapMan honoured all covenants as at 30 December 2024. The senior bonds issued in 2022 and 2024 are linked to sustainability targets. The targets of the 2022 bond were achieved in April 2023.

The Group's cash flow from operations totalled MEUR 3.2 (MEUR 12.1). CapMan receives management fees from funds semi-annually, in January and July, which is shown under working capital in the cash flow statement.

Cash flow from investments totalled MEUR 59.5 (MEUR 3.5), of which MEUR 59.0 is related to the divestment of CaPS completed in October 2024. Cash flow from investments also includes, inter alia, investments and repaid capital received by the Group. CapMan makes investments mainly through its investment company and its investments and cash on hand are classified as fund investments. Cash flow from financing was MEUR –13.7 (MEUR –30.3).

Sustainability

CapMan's vision is to become the most responsible private assets company in the Nordics. A strategic objective is to integrate sustainability into all operations and implement it in the product offering, fundraising, investment activities, fund management, services and the development of personnel and work environment, among others.

Progress on environmental targets

In January 2024 CapMan made the commitment to achieve net zero emissions by 2040 for own operations (Scope 1 and 2) and for CapMan's overall real estate and infrastructure assets and portfolio companies (Scope 3) by 2040. For in-use operational net-zero emissions within the real estate portfolio the target is by 2035.

During January 2024 CapMan also became an inaugural Task Force on Nature Related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) Early

Adopter. This means that CapMan will start making disclosures aligned with the TNFD Recommendations in the corporate reporting by financial year 2024. CapMan is in the process to develop a proprietary Nature positive approach and assessment tool for investment areas, and pilots have been conducted in certain assets and companies to test this approach. During the fourth quarter, frameworks for Real Estate, Infrastructure and Private Equity were finalised. In addition, Infrastructure sector specific transition plans as well as sector agnostic transition plans for Private Equity were finalised. Lastly, a proprietary Nature Tool that identifies nature dependencies and impacts and proposes actions on how to mitigate those was established. The results of the tool serve as an input to the transition plans that inform the asset specific risks and opportunities. CapMan Real Estate hosted and event in Stockholm during the fourth quarter presenting and discussing the results of the project, focusing on what moving towards nature positive means for real estate.

During the first quarter of 2024 CapMan Real Estate was selected among the first companies globally to participate in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Buildings pilot test. This puts CapMan on the forefront of developing tools for decarbonisation of buildings. The emission reduction plan was made during the first quarter and submitted to SBTi for feedback. In August and September 2024, CapMan was selected to be part of the piloting of SBTi's Draft Financial Institution Net Zero Standard (FINZ), providing us an opportunity to shape the way how financial institutions, and especially private market investors set the way for reaching net zero by 2050. CapMan Real Estate submitted its SBTi net-zero targets for validation in December.

In May 2024, CapMan published its new Sustainability-Linked Bond Framework under which it can issue securities with a sustainability-linkage, with KPIs that cover over 90% of CapMan's total emissions. In early June 2024, CapMan issued its second sustainability-linked bond amounting to MEUR 60.

For Real Estate and Infrastructure portfolios, EU Taxonomy aligned physical climate risk assessments were finalised during the fourth quarter. In addition, Infrastructure also finalised transition climate risks for the portfolio.

During the fourth quarter, CapMan partnered with a thirdparty provider for carbon removal for business related flights, which will commence during 2025.

Progress on social and governance targets

CapMan strives to be a diverse, equal, and inclusive work community. To promote good governance, CapMan has introduced sustainability metrics as part of variable renumeration. Part of the long-term share-based incentives are determined following the achievement of sustainability targets.

CapMan's Management Group with the support of CapMan's internal DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) working group has continued its systematic work to reach our medium- and long-term diversity targets. During the first months of the year an analysis was done to identify the enablers and possible deterrents to increase the share of women in investment teams by the DEI working group interviewing female investment professionals of different tenures and across investment areas. During the second quarter of 2024 DEI topics were progressed through workshops on inclusive practices within CapMan. During the fourth quarter findings from the beforementioned analyses were presented to and discussed with the management team.

In the first quarter, a third-party Human Rights Salient Risk Assessment was finalised, covering CapMan, as well as Real Estate, Infrastructure, Private Equity, Private Debt and Wealth teams. During second half of the year, a roadmap with concrete measures was completed to close identified gaps and align with the expectations set forth in the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and OECD Guidelines. This included CapMan Plc, Real Estate practices and guidelines for larger Infrastructure and Private Equity portfolio companies as well as SMEs. Implementation of the roadmap commenced during the fourth quarter. CapMan policies, such as the Sustainable Investment Policy, Code of Conduct, Supplier Code of Conduct and Whistleblowing policy were updated to reflect the Human Rights due diligence implemented, as well as asset class specific guidance, process documents and tools. This work ensures alignment with the Minimum Social Safeguards of the EU Taxonomy.

In June 2024, CapMan's Board of Directors approved the double materiality assessment which takes CapMan one step closer to reaching readiness to report under Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), and CapMan's 2024 sustainability statement will take into consideration the requirements from the CSRD.

Personnel

CapMan employed 200 people on average in 2024 (2023 average: 183), of whom 149 (133) worked in Finland and the remainder in the other Nordic countries, Luxembourg and the United Kingdom. A breakdown of personnel by country is presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements, Section 5 Employee benefit expenses.

Remuneration and incentives

CapMan's variable remuneration consists of short-term and long-term incentive schemes.

The short-term scheme covers all CapMan employees, excluding the CEO of the company, and its key objective is earnings development, for which the Board of Directors has set a minimum target.

CapMan has currently one long-term share-based incentive scheme (Performance Share Plan). The target group of the plan consists of approximately 20 key employees, including the members of the Management Group. The objective of the Performance Share Plan is to align remuneration with CapMan's earnings development and sustainability agenda, to retain the participants in the company's service, and to offer them a competitive reward plan based on owning, earning and accumulating the company's shares.

In the Performance Share Plan the participants commit to shareholder value creation by investing a significant amount in CapMan Plc shares. The prerequisite for receiving a reward from the plan is that a participant allocates newly acquired or previously owned company's shares to the plan. The Board of Directors determines the maximum allocation for each participant.

The Performance Share Plan includes three performance periods that commenced on 1 April 2022. The first period ended on 31 March 2023, the second period ended on 31 March 2024, and the third period will end on 31 March 2025. The participants may earn a performance-based reward from each of the performance periods and a matching reward from the 2022–2025 period. The rewards from the plan will be paid in company shares in 2024, 2025 and 2026.

The performance-based reward from the Performance Share Plan is based on the company share's Total Shareholder Return, the achievement of sustainability targets and on the continuation of the participant's employment or service upon reward payment. The Board shall resolve whether new shares or existing shares held by the company are given as reward.

More information about the Performance Share Plan can be found on in the Consolidated Financial Statements, Section 31 Share-based payment.

Other significant events in 2024

In March 2024, CapMan completed the acquisition of Dasos Capital Oy forming the new CapMan Natural Capital investment area and Mr. Olli Haltia, Partner at Natural Capital joined CapMan's Management Group. The acquisition and related directed share issue which the Board of Directors of CapMan decided on March 1st 2024, is described in greater detail on pages 35–36 in the tables section of this report.

In April 2024, the CapMan Nordic Infrastructure II fund held its final close reaching EUR 375 million, which is a doubling in size compared to the Infrastructure I fund. On April 30th the CapMan Growth Equity III fund made its final close at EUR 130 million.

In May 2024, CapMan resolved on a directed share issue of 356,062 new shares as payment of the reward shares from the 2022 Performance Share Plan to CapMan Group management and selected key employees.

The reward was earned based on the total shareholder return of CapMan during the 2022 Performance Share Plan's first performance period that commenced on 1 April 2022 and ended on 31 March 2023. The new shares were registered with the Trade Register on 7 May 2024.

In May 2024, CapMan established a new Sustainability-Linked Bond Framework under which it can issue securities with a sustainability-linkage. The selected KPIs cover over 90% of CapMan's total emissions and as such present a strong linkage to CapMan's climate work.

In June 2024, CapMan announced final tender offer results for its outstanding bond due 2025 and issued a MEUR 60 sustainability-linked bond. The proceeds from the new issue were used for the tender offer of the bond due 2025 and general company purposes. The issue of the new bond extends the maturity of CapMan's loan portfolio significantly.

In September 2024, CapMan's Board of Directors decided on the additional dividend of EUR 0.04 per share authorised by the Annual General Meeting.

In October 2024, CapMan announced the divestment of service business CaPS for MEUR 75, including an earn-out consideration of MEUR 5 subject to CaPS reaching certain operational targets during 2025. The transaction is in line with CapMan's strategy and will allow allocating more resources to accelerate the growth of the core business of private asset fund management. The transaction had a significant positive impact on CapMan's 2024 earnings, liquidity and solidity, with a positive EPS impact of approximately 33 cents in 2024 and strong cash flow impact of approximately EUR 64 million, including the received transaction proceeds and the dividend distributed from CaPS between signing and closing. The proceeds of the transaction will be used to grow the private asset fund management business, decrease interest bearing debt, and enable strong dividend distribution during the coming years. In connection with the divestment, it was announced that CapMan's Board of Directors currently expects to propose a total dividend of EUR 0.14 per share to the Annual General Meeting in 2025.

In November, CapMan announced that it will exercise its right to redeem the outstanding share of EUR 3,951,000 of the EUR 50 million notes issued in 2020 in accordance with clause 7.6 (Clean-up call option) of the terms and conditions of the Notes.

Events after the end of the financial year

There were no significant events after the end of the financial year.

Significant risks and short-term uncertainties

CapMan faces many different risks and uncertainties which, if realised, could affect its strategic direction, financial position, earnings, operations and reputation. Assessment and management of risks is an integral part of CapMan's ability to conduct its operations in a successful manner. CapMan classifies risks according to various categories and identifies principal risks for each category. CapMan performs an annual review of the risk environment at the end of the financial year and

reports on any material developments quarterly. An annual risk assessment and risk descriptions is presented on the website under https://capman.com/shareholders/risks/. A summary of risks and observed changes in the short-term risk environment are presented in Table 5.

Long-term financial objectives

CapMan's distribution policy is to pay sustainable distributions that grow over time. CapMan's objective is to distribute at least 70% of the Group's profit attributable to equity holders of the company excluding the impact of fair value changes, subject to the distributable funds of the parent company. In addition, CapMan may pay out distributions accrued from investment operations, taking into consideration foreseen cash requirements for future investments.

The combined growth objective for the Management Company and Service businesses is more than 15% p.a. on average. The objective for return on equity is more than 20% p.a. on average. CapMan's equity ratio target is more than 50%.

CapMan expects to achieve these financial objectives gradually and key figures are expected to show fluctuations on an annual basis considering the nature of the business.

Proposal of the Board of Directors regarding distribution of funds

CapMan's distributable funds amounted to MEUR 88.3 on 31 December 2024. The Board of Directors resolution proposal to the Annual General Meeting to be held on 25 March 2025 is a combined proposal of a dividend distribution and an authorisation for the Board of Directors to decide on distribution of an additional dividend. The Board of Directors expects the overall dividend distribution to be EUR 0.14 per share for 2024, which would amount to MEUR 24.8 in total.

The Board of Directors proposes that a dividend in the total amount of EUR 0.07 per share, would be paid 3 April 2025. The Board of Directors further proposes that the Board of Directors be authorised to decide on an additional dividend in the maximum amount of EUR 0.07 per share. The Board of Directors intends to resolve on the additional dividend in its meeting scheduled for 15 September 2025.

Outlook estimate for 2025

CapMan's objective is to improve results in the long term, taking into consideration annual fluctuations related to the nature of the business. Carried interest income from funds managed

by CapMan and the return on CapMan's investments have a substantial impact on CapMan's overall result. In addition to asset-specific development and exits from assets, various factors outside of the portfolio's and CapMan's control influence fair value development of CapMan's overall investments, as well as the magnitude and timing of carried interest. For these reasons, CapMan does not provide numeric estimates for 2025.

CapMan estimates assets under management to grow in 2025. The company estimates fee profit also to grow in 2025. These estimations do not include possible items affecting comparability.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Group information

CapMan's business comprise of private equity fund management and advisory services, as well as investment business. In the Management Company Business, the funds managed by CapMan make investments in Nordic companies and in real estate and infrastructure assets in the Nordic countries. The Management Company Business also includes the wealth services offered to smaller investors. At the moment, CapMan does not have active continuing businesses in the Service Business. Through its investment business, CapMan invests in the private equity asset class, mainly in its own funds, but also selectively in funds managed by external fund managers.

The parent company of the Group is CapMan Plc and is domiciled in Helsinki, with a registered office address at Ludviginkatu 6, 00130 Helsinki, Finland.

The Consolidated Financial Statements may be viewed online at www.capman.com, or a hard copy is available from the office of the parent company.

The Consolidated Financial Statements for 2024 have been approved for publication by CapMan Plc's Board of Directors on February 12, 2025. Pursuant to the Finnish Companies Act, shareholders may adopt or reject the financial statements and make decisions on amendments to them at the Annual General Meeting.

1. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The Group's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in force at December 31, 2024 as adopted by the European Union. International Financial Reporting Standards, referred to in the Finnish Accounting Act and in ordinances issued based on the provisions of this Act, are standards and their interpretations adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council. The notes to the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Finnish accounting standards as and where they supplement IFRS requirements.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the Group's management to make estimates and assumptions when applying CapMan's accounting principles, and these are presented in more detail under 'Use of estimates'.

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for financial assets and liabilities valued at fair value through profit or loss. The information in the Consolidated Financial Statements is presented in thousands of euros. Figures in the accounts have been rounded and consequently the sum of individual figures can deviate from the presented sum figure.

New and amended standards and interpretations applied in financial year ended

The Group has applied the following amended standards and interpretations that have come into effect as of January 1, 2024.

  • Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, which introduced disclosure requirements about a company's supplier finance arrangements.
  • Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, which specify how a company is to determine, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date.
  • Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases, which specify how the seller-lessee subsequently measures sale and leaseback transactions.

The above mentioned amendments had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Adoption of new and amended standards and interpretations applicable in future financial years

The Group has not yet adopted the new and amended standards and interpretations already issued by the IASB, such as IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. The Group will adopt them as of the effective date or, if the date is other than the first day of the financial year, from the beginning of the subsequent financial year. The Group expects IFRS 18 to have a limited impact on the structure and subtotals of the consolidated income statement and disclosures given with regards to management-defined performance measures, but does not expect other amendments or new standards to have a material impact on the Group's financial statements.

Consolidation principles

As CapMan has determined it meets the definition of an investment entity, its subsidiaries are classified either as operating subsidiaries, that are considered to be an extension of the Parent's operations, and as such, they are consolidated or investment entity subsidiaries, that are fair valued through profit or loss. The types of subsidiaries and their treatment in CapMan's consolidated accounts are as follows:

  • Subsidiaries that provide fund management services (fund managers) or manage direct investments are considered to be an extension of the Parent's business and as such, they are consolidated;
  • Subsidiaries that provide fund management services (fund managers) and which also hold direct investments in the funds are consolidated and the investments in the funds are fair valued through profit or loss;
  • Subsidiaries that provide fund investment advisory services (advisors) are considered to be an extension of the Parent's business and as such, they are consolidated;
  • Investment entity subsidiaries (CapMan Fund Investments SICAV-SIF), through which CapMan makes its own fund investments, are valued at fair value through profit or loss.

Significant judgment applied by management in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements – investment entity basis

CapMan qualifies as an investment entity as defined by IFRS 10, because the corner stone of its business purpose is to obtain capital from investors to its closed-end private equity funds and to provide investment management services to those funds to gain both capital appreciation and investment income. Direct investments represent a relatively small part compared to total assets under management. CapMan obtains funds from many external investors for investment purposes. Documented exit strategies exist for each fund's portfolio investments. Each fund's portfolio investments and the real estate investments are fair valued and such fair value information is provided both to the fund investors on reporting date and also for CapMan's internal management reporting purposes. In addition, management has assessed that the following characteristics further support investment entity categorization: CapMan holds several investments itself in the funds, investments in the funds are held by several investors, the investors are not related parties and the investments are held mostly in form of equity.

Significant judgment applied by management in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements – control over funds

One of the most significant judgments management made in preparing the Company's consolidated financial statements is the determination that Company does not have control over the funds under its management. Control is presumed to exist when a parent has power over the investee, has exposure to variable returns from the fund and is able to use its power to affect the level of returns.

CapMan manages the funds against management fee received from the investors on the basis of the investment management mandate negotiated with the investors and it also makes direct investments in the funds under its management. Accordingly, CapMan was required to determine, whether it is acting primarily as a principal or as an agent in exercising its power over the funds.

In the investment management mandate the investors have set detailed instructions in all circumstances relating to the management of the fund limiting the actual influence of the general partner at very low. In general, having a qualified majority, investors have a right to replace the general partner and/

or fund manager. The remuneration CapMan is entitled to is commensurate with the services it provides and corresponds to remuneration customarily present in arrangements for similar services on an arm's length basis. CapMan's direct investment (typically between of 1% to 5%) in the funds and thus the share of the variability of the returns compared with the other investors is relatively small. As an investor in the fund CapMan has no representation nor voting rights as it has been specifically excluded in the investment management mandate.

Therefore, management has concluded that despite it from formal perspective exercises power over the funds by controlling the general partner of the fund, its actual operational ability is limited in the investment management mandate in a manner that the general partner is considers to act as an agent. Furthermore, CapMan's exposure to variable returns from the fund and its power to affect the level of returns is very low for the reasons described above. Therefore, CapMan has determined that it does not have control over the funds under its management.

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are consolidated using the acquisition method. All intercompany transactions are eliminated in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Profit or loss, together with all other comprehensive income-related items, are booked to the owners of the parent company or owners not holding a controlling interest in the companies concerned. Non-controlling interests are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet under equity separately from equity attributable to the owners of the parent company.

Subsidiaries and businesses acquired during the year are consolidated from the date on which the Group acquires a controlling interest, and in the case of companies and businesses divested by the Group during the financial year up to the date on which CapMan's controlling interest expires.

Associates

An associated company is an entity in which the Group has significant influence but does not hold a controlling interest. This is generally defined as existing when the Group holds, either directly or indirectly, more than 20% of a company's voting rights.

Associated companies have been consolidated in accordance with the equity method. Under this, the investment in an associated company is carried in the balance sheet at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group's share of the company's net assets, less any impairment value. If the Group's share of the loss incurred by an associated company exceeds the book value of its investment, the investment is booked at zero in the balance sheet, and losses exceeding book value are not combined unless the Group is committed to meeting the obligations of the company concerned. The Group's share of the profit recorded by an associated company during the financial year in accordance with its holding in the company is presented as a separate item in the income statement after operating profit.

Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in accordance with internal reporting presented to the chief operating decision maker. The latter is responsible for allocating resources to operating segments and evaluating their performance and is defined as the Group's Management Group, which is responsible for taking strategic decisions affecting CapMan.

Translation differences

The result and financial position of each of the Group's business units are measured in the currency of the primary economic environment for that unit ('functional currency'). The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in euros, which is the functional and presentation currency of the Group's parent company.

Transactions in foreign currencies have been recorded in the parent company's functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing on the date of the transactions; in practice a reasonable approximation of the actual rate of exchange on the date of the transaction is often used. Foreign exchange differences for operating business items are recorded in the appropriate income statement account before operating profit and, for financial items, are recorded in financial income and expenses. The Group's foreign currency items have not been hedged.

In the consolidated financial statements, the income statements of subsidiaries that use a functional currency other than the euro are translated into euros using the average rates for the accounting period. Their balance sheets are translated using the closing rate on the balance sheet date. All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Translation differences caused by changes in exchange rates for the cumulative shareholders' equity of foreign subsidiaries have been recognised in other comprehensive income.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets have been reported in the balance sheet at their acquisition value less depreciation according to plan. Assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

The estimated useful lives are as follows: Machinery and equipment 4–5 years Other long-term expenditure 4–5 years The residual values and useful lives of assets are reviewed on every balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect changes in the expected economic benefits where necessary.

Tangible assets include right-of-use assets measured in accordance with IFRS 16, which are disclosed in the notes. More information on these items is included in chapter Leases of Accounting Policies.

Intangible assets

Goodwill

Goodwill acquired in a business merger is booked as the sum paid for a holding, the holding held by owners with a non-controlling interest, and the holding previously owned that, when combined, exceeds the fair value of the net assets of the acquisition. Write-offs are not made against goodwill, and possible impairment of goodwill is tested annually. Goodwill is measured as the original acquisition cost less accumulated impairment. The goodwill acquired during a merger is booked against the units or groups of units responsible for generating the cash flow used for testing impairment. Every unit or group of units for which goodwill is booked represents the lowest level of the organisation

at which goodwill is monitored internally for management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at operating segment level.

Other intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Intangible assets are recognised in the balance sheet only if the cost of the asset can be measured reliably and if it is probable that the future economic benefits attributable to the asset will flow to the Group.

Agreements and trademarks acquired in business mergers are booked at fair value at the time of acquisition. As they have a limited life, they are booked in the balance sheet at acquisition cost minus accumulated write-offs. IT systems are expensed on the basis of the costs associated with acquiring and installing the software concerned. Depreciation is spread across the financial life of the relevant software licences. Impairment is tested whenever there is an indication that the book value of intangible assets may exceed the recoverable amount of these assets.

The estimated useful lives are: Agreements and trademarks 5–10 years Other intangible assets 3–5 years

Impairment of assets

The Group reviews all assets for indications that their value may be impaired on each balance sheet date. If such indication is found to exist, the recoverable amount of the asset in question is estimated. The recoverable amount for goodwill is measured annually independent of indications of impairment.

The need for impairment is assessed on the level of cash-generating units, in other words at the smallest identifiable group of assets that is largely independent of other units and cash inflows from other assets. The recoverable amount is the fair value of an asset, less costs to sell or value in use. Value in use refers to the expected future net cash flow projections, which are discounted to the present value, received from the asset in question or the cash-generating unit. The discount rate used in measuring value in use is the rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment is recorded in the income statement as an expense. The recoverable amount for financial assets is either the fair value or the present value of expected future cash flows discounted by the initial effective interest rate.

An impairment loss is recognised whenever the recoverable amount of an asset is below the carrying amount, and it is recognised in the income statement immediately. An impairment loss of a cash-generating unit is first allocated to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets of the unit pro rata. An impairment loss is reversed if there is an indication that an impairment loss may have decreased and the carrying amount of the asset has changed from the recognition date of the impairment loss.

The increased carrying amount due to reversal cannot exceed what the depreciated historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognised. Reversal of an impairment loss for goodwill is prohibited. The carrying amount of goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if there is an indication that goodwill may be impaired, due to events and circumstances that may increase the probability of impairment.

Financial assets

The Group's financial assets have been classified into the following categories:

1) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 2) financial assets at amortised cost

Investments in equity instruments are always measured at fair value through profit or loss. Classification of debt instruments, such as trade and loan receivables, is based on the business model for managing and for the contractual cash flow characteristics of these financial assets. Debt instruments of the Management Company Business and Service Business are classified as financial assets at amortised cost, because they are held solely in order to collect contractual cash flows, which are solely payments of principal and interest. Liquid current debt instruments, such as investments to interest funds, made primarily for cash management purposes, are recognised at fair value through profit or loss. Non-current debt instruments included in the Investment Business are held for both selling purposes and collecting contractual cash flows (principal and interest), and the Group designates these assets as measured at

CAPMAN IN 2024 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REMUNERATION REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SUSTAINABILITY

Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company Financial Statements Auditor's report

fair value through profit or loss, in order to reduce inconsistency with regards to recognizing gains and losses of financial assets within the Investment Business, because the Group as an investment entity manages and monitors the performance of these investments based on fair values according to group's investment strategy.

Transaction costs are reported in the initial cost of financial assets, excluding items valued at fair value through profit or loss. All purchases and sales of financial instruments are recognised on the trade date. An asset is eligible for derecognition and removed from the balance sheet when the Group has transferred the contractual rights to receive the cash flows or when it has substantially transferred all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset outside the Group. Financial assets are classified as current if they have been acquired for trading purposes or fall due within 12 months.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Fair value through profit or loss class comprises of financial assets that are equity instruments or acquired as held for trading, in which case they can be either equity or debt instruments or derivative instruments. Debt instruments are also classified to this class, if they are held for both selling purposes and collecting contractual cash flows and which CapMan as an investment entity designates as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition in order to reduce inconsistency with regards to recognizing gains and losses of financial assets within the Investment Business.

Fund investments and other investments in non-current assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and their fair value change is presented on the line item "Fair value changes of investments" in the statement of comprehensive income. Fair value information of the non-current fund investments is provided quarterly to Company's management and to other investors in the investment funds management by CapMan. The valuation of CapMan's funds' investment is based on International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines (IPEVG) and IFRS 13.

Investments in listed shares, funds and interest-bearing securities as well as those derivative instruments that do

not meet the hedge accounting criteria or for which hedge accounting is not applied in current assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Listed shares and derivative contracts in current assets are measured at fair value by the last trade price on active markets on the balance sheet date. The fair value of current investments in funds is determined as the funds' net asset value at the balance sheet date. The fair value of current investments in interest-bearing securities is based on the last trade price on the balance sheet date or, in an illiquid market, on values determined by the counterparty.

The change in fair value of current financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss as well as dividend and interest income from short-term investments in listed shares and interest-bearing securities are presented on the line item "Fair value changes of investments" in the statement of comprehensive income, except for derivative instruments, which are used for a fair value hedge purpose. In these cases, the effectively hedging component of the derivative instrument's fair value change is recognised in the same line item as the hedged item's change in the statement of comprehensive income, and the remainder of the derivative's fair value change is recognised as a financing cost. CapMan uses derivative instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts, to hedge against currency changes of foreign currency denominated trade receivables, but does not apply hedge accounting to these derivatives. In these cases, the change of fair value of the derivative instrument that offsets an equal change of the foreign currency denominated trade receivable, being the hedged item, is recognised on the same line item as the change of the hedge item, i.e. in turnover.

Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets at amortised cost mainly include non-interest-bearing trade receivables and interest-bearing loan receivables of the Management Company Business and Service Business. These financial assets are held solely in order to collect contractual cash flows, and whose payments are fixed or determinable and which are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period, which are classified as non-current assets.

Expected credit loss of the trade receivables is evaluated by using the simplified approach allowed by IFRS 9, under which a provision matrix is maintained, based on the historical credit losses and forward-looking information regarding general economic indicators. In addition, materially overdue receivables are evaluated on a client basis.

Expected credit losses of loan receivables is evaluated based on the general approach under IFRS 9. The group evaluates the credit risk of the borrowers by estimating the delay of the repayments and borrower's future economic development. Depending on the estimated credit risk the group measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses or lifetime expected credit losses. Inputs used for the measurement of expected credit losses include, among others, available statistics on default risk based on credit risk rating grades and the historical credit losses the group has incurred.

Credit risk of a loan receivable is assumed low on initial recognition in case the contractual payments of principal and interest are dependent on the cash proceeds the borrower receives from the underlying investments. In these cases, the borrower is considered to have a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term. It is considered that there has been a significant increase in the credit risk, if the contractual payments have become more than 30 days past due, and a default event has occurred, if the payment is more than 90 days past due, unless resulting from an administrative oversight.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and short-term deposits in the balance sheet comprise cash in banks and in hand, as well as liquid short-term deposits such as investments to money market funds. Cash assets have a maximum maturity of three months.

Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations

Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, are classified as held-for-sale, if it is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continued use. The recognition criteria are regarded to be met when a sale is highly probable, the asset (or a disposal

group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary, the management is committed to the plan to sell the asset and the sale is expected to take place within one year from the date of classification.

As from the classification date, a non-current asset (or a disposal group) held for sale is measured at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs of disposal. Once classified as held for sale, intangible and tangible assets are no longer amortised nor depreciated.

An operation is classified as discontinued, if it has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, and represents a separate major line of business, which can be clearly distinguished and has been a cash-generating unit or a group of cash-generating units while being held for use. Discontinued operations are disclosed separately in the income statement and figures for comparison periods are restated accordingly.

Dividend payment and repayment of capital

Payment of dividends and repayment of capital is decided in the Annual General Meeting. The dividend payment and repayment of capital proposed to the Annual General Meeting by the Board of Directors is not subtracted from distributable funds until approved by the Annual General Meeting.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities largely consist of loans from financial institutions, leasing liabilities and derivate liabilities. Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value. Transaction costs are reported in the initial book value of the financial liability. Financial liabilities, except for derivative liabilities, are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Derivative liabilities are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are reported in non-current and current liabilities.

Leases

Group's lease agreements are mainly related to facilities, company cars and IT equipment. Group applies the exemptions allowed by the standard on lease contracts for which the lease

term ends within 12 months as of the initial application, and lease contracts for which the underlying asset is of low value. Exemptions are applicable to some of the leased premises, such as office hotels, and to all laptops, printers and copying machines, among others. These lease payments are recognised as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis.

Other lease agreements are recognised as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the balance sheet. These agreements include long-term lease agreements of facilities and company cars. Right-of-use assets are included in tangible assets and the related lease liabilities are included in non-current and current interest-bearing financial liabilities.

CapMan Group does not act as a lessor.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has a current obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the outflow can be made.

The Group's provisions are evaluated on the closing date and are adjusted to match the best estimate of their size on the day in question. Changes are booked in the same entry in the income statement as the original provision.

Employee benefits

Pension obligations

The defined contribution pension plan is a pension plan in accordance with the local regulations and practices of its business domiciles. Payments made to these plans are charged to the income statement in the financial period to which they relate. Pension cover has been arranged through insurance policies provided by external pension institutions.

Share-based payments

The fair value of the share-based long-term incentive plan is measured at the grant date based on the starting share price of the plan, its assumed development during the vesting period, forfeiture rate and estimated dividends to be paid during the

vesting period. The fair value is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The accumulated amount expensed is adjusted, should the forfeiture rate change or should shares allocated to the plan be sold during the vesting period.

The fair value of stock options is assessed on the date they are granted and are expensed in equal instalments in the income statement over the vesting period of the rights concerned. An evaluation of how many options will generate an entitlement to shares is made at the end of every reporting period. Fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The terms of the stock option programs are presented in Note 31. Sharebased payments.

Revenue recognition

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised by first allocating the transaction price to performance obligations, and when the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the control of the underlying service to the customer, the revenue related to this performance obligation is recognised. Performance obligation can be satisfied either at a point in time or over time.

Management fees and service fees in the Management Company Business

As a fund manager, CapMan receives management fees during a fund's entire period of operations. Management fee is a variable consideration and is typically based on the fund's original size during its investment period, which is usually five years. Thereafter the fee is typically based on the acquisition cost of the fund's remaining portfolio. Annual management fees are usually 0.5–2.0% of a fund's total commitments, depending whether the fund is a real estate fund, a mezzanine fund, or an equity fund. In the case of real estate funds, management fees are also paid on committed debt capital. The average management fee percentage paid by CapMan-managed funds is approx. 1%.

Management fees paid by the funds are recognised as income over time, because the fund management service is the only performance obligation in the contract and it is satisfied over time.

Management company business also includes wealth management services to institutional clients, foundations, family offices and wealthy private clients. Fees from these services are recognised over time, when the service is provided and the control is transferred to the customer, except for success and transaction fees, which are recognised as income at a point in time, because the underlying performance obligation is satisfied and the control of the related service is transferred to the customer at a point in time.

Fees in the Service Business

CapMan's Service Business does not any more include continuing active businesses. Procurement services provided by CapMan Procurement services (CaPS) were sold in 2024 and classified as discontinued operations. Until February 1, 2023, Service business also included JAY Solutions, which offered reporting and back office services to investors. Fee from these services are primarily recognised over time.

Some of the contracts with customers related to the fundraising services earlier included in the Service Business includes a significant financing component. When determining the transaction price in these cases, the promised amount of consideration is adjusted for the effects of the time value of money and customer's credit characteristics.

Carried interest income

Carried interest refers to the distribution of the profits of a successful private equity fund among fund investors and the fund manager responsible for the fund's investment activities. In practice, carried interest means a share of a fund's cash flow received by the fund manager after the fund has transferred to carry.

The recipients of carried interest in the private equity industry are typically the investment professionals responsible for a fund's investment activities. In CapMan's case, carried interest is split between CapMan Plc and funds' investment teams.

CapMan applies a principle where funds transfer to carry and carried interest income are based on realised cash flows, not on a calculated and as yet unrealised return. As the level of carried interest income varies, depending on the timing of exits and the

stage at which funds are in their life cycle, predicting future levels of carried interest is difficult.

To transfer to carry, a fund must return its paid-in capital to investors and pay a preferential annual return on this. The preferential annual return is known as a hurdle rate, which is typically set between 7–10% IRR p.a. When a fund has transferred to carry, the remainder of its cash flows is distributed between investors and the fund manager. Investors typically receive 80% of the cash flows and the fund manager 20%. When a fund is generating carried interest, the fund manager receives carried interest income from all of the fund's cash flows, even if an exit is made at below the original acquisition cost.

Revenue from carried interest is recognised when a fund has transferred to carry and to the extent carried interest is based on realised cash flows and management has estimated it being highly probable that there is no risk of repayment of carried interest back to the fund. Carried interest is recognised when CapMan is entitled to it by the reporting date, a confirmation on the amount has been received and CapMan is relatively close to receiving it in cash.

Potential repayment risk of carried interest to the funds (clawback)

Potential repayment risk to the funds (clawback) is considered when assessing whether revenue recognition criteria have been fulfilled. Clawback risk relates to a situation when, in conjunction with the liquidation of a fund, it is recognised that the General Partner has received more carried interest than agreed in the fund agreement. These situations can occur, for example, if there are recallable distributions or if representations and warranties have been given by the vendor in the sale and purchase agreement when the fund is towards the end of its lifecycle.

Potential repayment risk to the funds (clawback) is estimated by the management at each reporting date. The management judgment includes significant estimates relating to investment exit timing, exit probability and realisable fair value. The clawback risk is measured by using the expected value method, i.e. by calculating a probability weighted average of estimated alternative investment exit outcomes. The clawback is an

adjustment to the related revenue recognised and is included in the current accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

Income taxes

Tax expenses in the consolidated income statement comprise taxes on taxable income and changes in deferred taxes for the financial period. Taxes are booked in the income statement unless they relate to other areas of comprehensive income or directly to items booked as equity. In these cases, taxes are booked to either other comprehensive income or directly to equity. Taxes on taxable income for the financial period are calculated on the basis of the tax rate in force for the country in question. Taxes are adjusted on the basis of deferred income tax assets and liabilities from previous financial periods, if applicable. The Group's taxes have been recognised during the financial year using the average expected tax rate.

Deferred taxes are calculated on temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax base. Deferred taxes have only been recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The largest temporary differences arise from the valuation of investments at fair value. Deferred taxes are not recognised for non-tax deductible amortisation of goodwill. Deferred taxes have been measured at the statutory tax rates enacted by the balance sheet date and that are expected to apply when the related deferred tax is realised.

Items affecting comparability and alternative performance measures

CapMan uses alternative performance measures, such as adjusted operating profit (or 'comparable operating profit', having the same meaning), to denote the financial performance of its business and to improve the comparability between different periods. Alternative performance measures, as such are presented, are derived from performance measures as reported in accordance with the IFRS by adding or deducting the items affecting comparability and they will be nominated as adjusted. Such alternative performance measures are, for example, adjusted operating profit, adjusted profit for the period, and adjusted earnings per share. In addition, CapMan discloses

alternative performance measures that have been derived from the beforementioned adjusted performance measures by further adding or deducting some income statement items that have been adjusted to exclude possible items impacting comparability. This kind of alternative performance measure is fee profit, which is adjusted operating profit or loss deducted with carried interest and fair value changes of investments.

Items affecting comparability are, among others, material items related to mergers and acquisitions, such as amortisation and impairment of intangible assets recognised in the purchase price allocation, or costs related to major development projects, such as reorganisation costs. Items impacting comparability include also material gains or losses related to the acquisition or disposals of business units, material gains or losses related to the acquisition or disposal of intangible assets, material expenses related to decisions by authorities and material gains or losses related to reassessment of potential repayment risk to the funds.

Items affecting comparability and alternative key figures are presented under the Segment information in the Note 2.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS standards requires Group management to make estimates and assumptions in applying CapMan's accounting principles. These estimates and assumptions have an impact on the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities in the balance sheet of the financial statements and on the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates have a substantial impact on the Group's operating result. Estimates and assumptions have been used in assessing the impairment of goodwill, the fair value of fund investments, the impairment testing of intangible and tangible assets, in determining useful economic lives and expected credit losses, and in reporting deferred taxes, among others.

Valuation of fund investments

The determination of the fair value of fund investments using the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation

Guidelines (IPEVG) takes into account a range of factors, including the price at which an investment was acquired, the nature of the investment, local market conditions, trading values on public exchanges for comparable securities, current and projected operating performance, and financing transactions subsequent to the acquisition of the investment. These valuation methodologies involve a significant degree of management judgment. Because there is significant uncertainty in the valuation of, or in the stability of, the value of illiquid investments, the fair values of such investments as reflected in a fund's net asset value do not necessarily reflect the prices that would actually be obtained when such investments are realised.

Valuation of fund investments is described in more detail in the Note 33.

Valuation of other investments

The fair value of growth equity investments is determined quarterly by using valuation methods according to IPEVG and IFRS 13. The valuations are based on forecasted cash flows or peer group multiples. In estimating fair value of an investment, a method that is the most appropriate in light of the facts, nature and circumstances of the investment is applied. External valuations are made at least once a year to verify the fair values of growth equity investments.

Goodwill impairment test

Goodwill impairment test is performed annually. The most significant assumptions related to the recoverable amount are turnover growth, operating margin, discount rate and terminal growth rate. Turnover growth and operating margin estimates are based on the current cost structure and turnover generated by the current customer base. Turnover is expected to grow to the extent that can be reasonably supported by the current personnel and other resources. This means such additional turnover and costs included in the business plan that are related to future expansion – and expected to be mainly visible as new customers and increased headcount – have been removed from the cash flow forecasts when preparing the goodwill impairment test.

Goodwill impairment test is described in more detail in the Note 16.

2. Segment information

CapMan has three operating segments: the Management company business, Service business and Investments business. Segment information only includes continuing operations.

In the Management Company business, CapMan manages private equity funds and offers wealth advisory services. Private equity funds are invested by its partnership-based investment teams. Investments are mainly Nordic unlisted companies, real estate and infrastructure assets. CapMan raises capital for the funds from Nordic and international investors. CapMan Wealth offer comprehensive wealth advisory services related to the listed and unlisted market to smaller investors, such as family offices, smaller institutions and high net worth individuals. Income from the Management company business is derived from fee income and carried interest received from funds. The fee income include management fees related to CapMan's position as a fund management company, fees from other services closely related to fund management and fees from wealth advisory services.

In the Service business, CapMan no more has continuing active businesses. Previously included procurement services (CaPS) have been classified as a discontinued operation and therefore removed from the segment information for the reporting and comparison periods. The remaining part of the Service business contains the discounting impact of long-term trade receivables stemming from the earlier advisory services that were offered to private equity investors. In the comparison year, until February 1, 2023, Service business also included JAY Solutions, which offered reporting and back office services to investors.

Through its Investment business, CapMan invests from its own balance sheet in the private equity asset class and mainly to its own funds. Income in this business segment is generated by changes in the fair value of investments and realised returns following exits and periodic returns, such as interest and dividends.

Other includes the corporate functions not allocated to operating segments. These functions include part of the activities of group accounting, corporate communications, group management and costs related to share-based payment. Other also includes the eliminations of the intersegment transactions.

3. Turnover

Revenue from contracts with customers include management fees, service fees and carried interest. Management company business revenue is primarily related to long-term contracts. Management fees are typically recorded over time, whereas service fees include both transaction fees recorded at a point in time and other service fees, such as fees from wealth and asset management services, recorded over time. Carried interest is recognised at a point in time. Revenue from the Service business is based on long-term contracts and includes solely fees recognised over time. Segment information disclosed in Note 2 provides more information on the businesses included in each reportable segment.

12. Earnings per share

Undiluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the distributable retained profit for the financial year by the average share issue adjusted number of shares, excluding shares that have been purchased by the Company and are presented as the Company's own shares. Undiluted earnings per share from continuing operations is calculated by dividing the distributable retained profit for the financial year from continuing operations by the average share issue adjusted number of shares, excluding shares that have been purchased by the Company and are presented as the Company's own shares.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

14. Acquisitions

On 21 December 2023, CapMan signed an agreement regarding the acquisition of all the shares of Dasos Capital Oy from the company's current shareholders. The acquisition was completed on March 1, 2024, following the approvals by the Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority and the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority as well as consents from certain investors of certain funds managed by Dasos. The purchase price was paid by executing a directed issue of 17,672,761 new CapMan shares to the owners of Dasos Capital Oy, representing approximately 10.0% ownership in CapMan, and by a cash consideration of EUR 3.0 million.

Fair value of the issued shares amounted to EUR 34.4 million on the acquisition date, based on the closing price of EUR 1.948 per share, and was recognised in the share capital. Cash consideration was adjusted in Q3 2024 by EUR –0.2 million based on the final closing accounts. In addition, CapMan has committed to paying an additional earn-out consideration of a maximum EUR 5 million based on management fee turnover incurred in 2025 and 2026, payable when the management fees of the funds managed by Dasos exceed certain limits. The additional consideration will be paid later in 2026 and 2027 in CapMan's shares.

Dasos Capital Oy is a leading timberland and natural capital investment asset manager in Europe and a significant player globally. Dasos focuses on managing sustainable timberland investments, natural sites and forest carbon sinks, as well as developing value in Europe and emerging markets. The investors in the funds managed by Dasos are domestic and foreign institutions, mainly pension and insurance companies. The acquisition supports CapMan's vision of becoming the most responsible private asset company in the Nordics and significantly promotes CapMan's strategic objective to increase assets under management to EUR 10 billion during the ongoing strategy period.

The goodwill arising from the acquisition is EUR 22.2 million and is mainly attributable to Dasos' professional workforce, future customers and products, CapMan's cross-selling opportunities, and synergies.

As of the acquisition date, March 1, 2024, Dasos Capital has been consolidated into CapMan's consolidated financial statements in full and reported as part of CapMan's reportable segment Management Company Business. Consolidated income statement includes EUR 4.4 million of turnover and EUR 1.1 million of net profit from Dasos Capital as of March 1, 2024. Had Dasos Capital been consolidated from January 1, 2024, consolidated income statement from continuing operations would show combined turnover of EUR 58.4 million and combined net profit of EUR 9.6 million.

The expenses arising from the acquisition, EUR 1.7 million, have been included in Other operating expenses of the consolidated income statement and allocated to Other segment and classified as items impacting comparability in the segment reporting. Thereof, EUR 1.1 million has been recorded in the current period and EUR 0.6 million in the previous year.

13. Discontinued operations

On October 4, 2024, CapMan Plc signed an agreement with Proxer Bidco Oy to sell its ownership (92.7%) in subsidiary CapMan Procurement Services (CaPS) Ltd ("CaPS") together with subsidiary's non-controlling interest (7.3%). The transaction was closed on October 31, 2024. Debt free purchase price was EUR 70 million, of which CapMan's share is EUR 64.9 million, and in addition, CapMan is entitled to a maximum of EUR 4.6 million earn-out consideration, subject to CaPS reaching certain operating targets during 2025.

CapMan has classified CaPS business as a discontinued operation in the income statement and restated the comparison periods' income statement and segment information accordingly. Advisory expenses and success bonuses relating to the disposal of CaPS have been included in the net gain on disposal of the discontinued operations. CaPS comprised the majority of CapMan's reporting segment Service Business, and after disposal there are no actively managed operations left in the Service Business. The remaining items in the Service Business turnover relate to income impact from discounted long-term trade receivables stemming from the former private equity advisory services.

Natural Capital 22,249

CapMan Wealth

Recoverable amount of CapMan Wealth (previously CapMan Wealth Services) is based on valuein-use using five-year discounted cash flow projections based on a business plan approved by the management. Future cash flows arising from additional turnover generated by increased personnel, and thus extending the operations and enhancing the performance, have been excluded from the cash flow projections applied in the impairment test. Cash flows for the period extending over the planning period are calculated using the terminal value method. Key assumptions applied in the impairment test are set forth in the table below:

2024 2023
Pre-tax discount rate 19.0% 16.8%
Average turnover growth 14.3% 18.0%
Average EBIT margin 21.7% 35.2%

Natural Capital

Dasos Capital, which was acquired during the financial year (see Note 14), establishes a new cash-generating unit Natural Capital, onto which goodwill of EUR 22.2 million has been allocated. Recoverable amount of Natural Capital is based on value-in-use using five-year discounted cash flow projections based on a business plan approved by the management. Cash flows for the period extending over the planning period are calculated using the terminal value method. Key assumptions applied in the impairment test are set forth in the table below:

2024 2023
Pre-tax discount rate 15.6%
Average turnover growth 13.3%
Average EBIT margin 52.0%
Terminal growth rate 2.0%

Discount rate takes into account listed domestic and foreign asset and wealth managers as a benchmark group. Cost of equity includes risk premiums for Finland and company size. As a risk-free rate, a reference rate of Germany 10-year government bonds has been applied. Based on the impairment test, goodwill allocated to neither cash-generating unit was impaired, and recoverable amounts of cash-generating units CapMan Wealth and Natural Capital exceed their carrying amounts by approximately EUR 2.5 million and EUR 1.5 million, respectively.

Of key assumptions applied in CapMan Wealth's impairment test, recoverable amount is most sensitive to changes in EBIT margin and turnover growth during the explicit forecasting period (5 years). Based on the sensitivity analysis, if average EBIT margin would be 7%-points lower, or alternatively, if turnover growth during the explicit forecasting period would be 10%-points lower per annum, recoverable amount would equal the carrying amount of the respective cash-generating unit. No reasonably possible change in any of the other key assumptions would lead to impairment.

Of key assumptions applied in Natural Capital's impairment test, recoverable amount is most sensitive to changes in discount rate, EBIT margin and terminal growth rate. Based on the sensitivity analysis, if discount rate would be 1.0%-points higher, average EBIT margin 2.3%-points lower, or alternatively, if terminal growth rate would be 0.7%-points lower, recoverable amount would equal the carrying amount of the respective cash-generating unit. No reasonably possible change in any of the other key assumptions would lead to impairment.

Non-current trade receivables are related to previously offered fundraising and advisory services. Because of the significant financing component related to these receivables, the promised amount of consideration has been adjusted for the effects of the time value of money and the credit characteristics of the customer. However, no contract assets are related to these customer contracts, as the Group's right to the amount of consideration is unconditional and subject only to the passage of time.

Loan receivables primarily include loans granted to investment teams for co-investments.

Allowance for expected credit losses of loan receivables is presented below separately for portion measured at an amount equal to 12-month and lifetime expected credit losses.

As at December 31, 2024 and 2023, loss allowance measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses is fully related to credit-impaired loan receivables from entities controlled by the former or current investment teams, and granted for making co-investments in funds managed by CapMan. The most significant credit-impaired loan receivables are from entities controlled by the former CapMan Russia investment team. CapMan has determined these loan receivables being credit-impaired, because the underlying funds have filed for liquidation and it seems not probable that the loans and accrued interests would be repaid to CapMan in full. The other credit-impaired loan receivables are related to loans granted to making co-investments to such funds, whose carry potential is estimated to be low, and therefore, CapMan has determined it seems not probable that the borrowing entity would repay these loans and accrued interests in full.

Expected credit losses of other receivables measured at amortised cost is insignificant, and other receivables at amortised cost do not contain credit-impaired items.

With regards to contracts with customers, the Group's right to the amount of consideration is unconditional. Therefore, they are presented as receivables and no separate contract asset is presented.

Loan receivables include mainly current loan receivables from related parties and other employees.

Accrued income includes mainly prepayments.

Other receivables mainly include unvoiced sale of services, costs to be re-invoiced, income tax receivables and receivables related to sold financial assets.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include derivative assets and short-term investments made for cash management purposes in interest rate funds. CapMan uses short-term derivative instruments to hedge against currency changes in foreign currency denominated trade receivables. CapMan does not apply hedge accounting to derivative instruments and derivatives are initially measured at costs and thereafter to fair value at the end of the reporting period. Fair values of derivatives are based on market values or values derived from market values at the end of the reporting period (fair value hierarchy level 2). Translation difference incurred to foreign currency denominated trade receivables is recognised to turnover and that fair value change of the derivative instrument that is effectively hedging the underlying trade receivable, is recorded to turnover and the remainder of the derivative's fair value change is recorded to financial expenses. In the comparison period, no derivative instruments were used.

During the financial year, part of the purchase price of the acquisition of Dasos Capital Oy was made by directed share issue, which increased the amount of shares and share capital. In addition, reward payment of the performance share plan 2022–25 resulted in a directed share issue of

356,062 new shares without payment. In the previous financial year, in conjunction with the final reward payment of the performance share plan 2022–23, a total of 794,419 shares were issued in a directed share issue without payment. Furthermore, in the previous financial year, repaid capital was deducted from the unrestricted equity fund.

Share-based incentive plans are presented in Note 31. Share-based payments.

Translation difference

The foreign currency translation reserve includes translation differences arising from currency conversion in the closing of the books for foreign units.

Dividends paid and proposal for profit distribution and repayment of capital

The Annual General Meeting, held on 27 March 2024, decided that a dividend of EUR 0.06 per share, totalling EUR 10.6 million, will be paid for the financial year 2023 in one instalment. The dividend was paid on April 9, 2024. The Annual General Meeting also authorised the Board of Directors to decide on an additional dividend in the maximum of EUR 0.04 per share. The Board of Directors resolved on the additional dividend on September 18, 2024, and the additional dividend of EUR 0.04 per share, totalling EUR 7.1 million, was paid on September 27, 2024.

As at December 31, 2024, CapMan Plc's distributable funds amounted to approximately EUR 88.3 million. The Board of Directors' resolution proposal to the General Meeting is a combined proposal of a dividend distribution and an authorisation for the Board of Directors to decide on distribution of an additional dividend. The Board of Directors expects the overall dividend distribution to be EUR 0.14 per share for the financial period ended 31 December 2024. The Board of Directors proposes to the General Meeting that a dividend in the total amount of EUR 0.07 per share would be paid for the financial period that ended on 31 December 2024 based on the balance sheet adopted for 2024. The dividend would be paid to a shareholder who on the record date of the payment, 27 March 2025, is registered as a shareholder in the shareholders' register of the Company maintained by Euroclear Finland Oy. The payment date would be 3 April 2025. The Board of Directors further proposes to the General Meeting that the Board of Directors be authorised to decide on an additional dividend in the maximum amount of EUR 0.07 per share. The authorisation would be effective until the end of the next Annual General Meeting. The Board of Directors intends to resolve on the additional dividend in its meeting scheduled for 15 September 2025.

Redemption obligation clause

A shareholder whose share of the entire share capital or the voting rights of the Company reaches or exceeds 33.3% or 50% has, at the request of other shareholders, the obligation to redeem his or her shares and related securities in accordance with the Articles of Association of CapMan Plc.

Ownership and voting rights agreements

31. Share-based payments

As at the balance sheet date, CapMan has one investment based long-term share-based incentive plan "Share plan 2022–25" in force. The program "Share plan 2020–23" ended and the rewards were paid during the previous year. Share-based incentive plans are used to commit key individuals and executives to the company and reinforce the alignment of interests of key individuals and executives and CapMan shareholders. In the investment based long-term share-based incentive plan the participants are committed to shareholder value creation by investing a significant amount into the CapMan Plc share.

The investment-based long-term incentive plan 2022–25 includes three performance periods. The performance period commenced on 1 April 2022 and ends on 31 March 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. The participants may earn a performance-based reward from each of the performance periods and a matching reward from the 2022–2025 period. The rewards from the plan will be paid in 2024, 2025 and 2026. In 2024, rewards from performance period 1 April 2022 – 31 March 2023 were paid, which resulted in 356,062 shares granted and a cash component to cover withholding tax consequences. The value of these two totalled EUR 1.2 million.

The aim of the plan is to align remuneration with CapMan's sustainability agenda, to retain the plan participants in the company's service, and to offer them a competitive reward plan based on owning, earning and accumulating the company's shares. The prerequisite for receiving reward on the basis of the plan is that a participant acquires company's shares or allocates previously owned company's shares up to the number determined by the Board of Directors. The performance-based reward from the plan is based on the company share's Total Shareholder Return (TSR) and on a participant's employment or service upon reward payment. The plan is equity-settled by nature and while the participants earn a certain gross amount of reward shares, it can be partially paid in cash to cover the withholding tax consequences. The Board shall resolve whether new Shares or existing Shares held by the Company are given as reward. The target group of the Plan consists of 22 persons, including the members of the Management Group.

The fair value of the investment-based incentive plans has been measured at the grant date and is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The fair value has been calculated by applying a Monte-Carlo simulation, where the model inputs have included share price at the grant date, expected annualised volatility over the tenure of the program, risk-free interest rate, expected dividends and expected share rewards to be granted on different target share price levels. The model simulates share price development during the performance period and the resulting share rewards to be granted after reaching the share price levels defined in the conditions of the plan. In addition, lack of marketability due to the lock-up period as well as forfeiture rate have been incorporated into the measurement of the fair value as decreasing factors.

The total expense recognised for the period arising from share-based payment transactions amounted to EUR 0.6 million (EUR 1.0 million). There were no liabilities arising from share-based payment transactions. As at the balance sheet date, based on the closing price of CapMan's share, it is estimated that for the Share plan 2022–25, the shares to be withheld and paid in cash to cover withholding tax liabilities will amount to EUR 0.3 million.

Management remuneration includes members of the board, CEO and management group.

The CEO has a mutual notice period of six months and he will be entitled to a severance fee of 12 months' salary, if his employment is terminated by the company.

The CEO and some of the Management Group members are covered by additional defined contribution based pension insurance. The retirement age of the CEO is 63 years.

The Management Group members, incl. CEO, have allocated a total of 860,000 shares (780,000 shares in 2023) to the investment-based long-term incentive plan 2022–25. The Management Group and other employees have similar terms in the investment-based long-term incentive plans (see Note 31).

33. Financial risk management

The purpose of financial risk management is to ensure that the Group has adequate and effectively utilised financing as regards the nature and scope of the Group's business. The objective is to minimise the impact of negative market development on the Group with consideration for cost efficiency. The financial risk management has been centralised and the Group's CFO is responsible for financial risk management and control.

The management constantly monitors cash flow forecasts and the Group's liquidity position on behalf of all Group companies. In addition, the Group's principles for liquidity management include rolling 12-month loan covenant assessments. The loan covenants are related to equity ratio and net gearing. During the financial year all the loan covenants have been fullfilled.

The Group has a Risk and Valuation team, which monitors the performance and the price risk of the investment portfolio (financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss) independently and objectively of the investment teams. The Risk and Valuation team is responsible for reviewing the monthly reporting and forecasts for portfolio companies. Valuation proposals are examined by the Risk and Valuation team and subsequently reviewed and decided by the Valuation Committee, which comprises at least Valuation Controller, Risk Manager and at least one CapMan AIF Manager's Board of Directors. The portfolio company valuations are reviewed in the Valuation Committee on a quarterly basis. The valuations are back tested against realised exit valuations, and the results of such back testing are reported to the Audit Committee annually.

a) Liquidity risk

Cash inflow from operating activities consists of predictable management fees and fees from the Service Business, as well as transaction-based fees and carried interest income, which are more difficult to predict. Cash outflow from operating activities consists of payment of fixed costs, interests and taxes, which are relatively well predictable in the short term. Liquidity management is also significantly impacted by the timing of the capital calls to the funds and proceeds from fund investments, which is difficult to predict. Therefore, the Group maintains a sufficient liquidity in order to fulfill its commitments, which are more difficult to predict. Cash from financing activities consist of proceeds from and repayment of borrowings, and payment of dividends and return of capital.

Management fees received from the funds and majority of fees from the Service Business are based on long-term agreements and are targeted to cover the operational expenses of the Group. Management fees and majority of fees from the Service Business are quite reliably predictable for the coming 12 months. However, part of of the fees from the Service Business are transaction-based and thus more difficult to forecast.

The timing and receipt of carried interest generated by the funds is uncertain and will contribute to the volatility of the results. Changes in investment and exit activity levels may have a significant impact on cash flows of the Group. A single investment or exit may change the cash flow situation completely and the exact timing of the cash flow is difficult to predict. Group companies managing

CAPMAN IN 2024 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REMUNERATION REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SUSTAINABILITY

Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company Financial Statements Auditor's report

a fund may in certain circumstances, pursuant to the terms of the fund agreement, have to return carried interest income they have received (so-called clawback). The obligation to return carried interest income applies typically when, according to the final distribution of funds, the carried interest income received by the fund management company exceeds the carried interest it is entitled to when the fund expires. CapMan has no clawback liabilities recorded at the balance sheet date.

CapMan has made commitments to the funds it manages. As at December 31, 2024, the undrawn commitments to the funds amounted to EUR 66.8 (85.2) million and the financing capacity available (cash available for use and third party financing facilities) amounted to EUR 114.2 (59.2) million. The cash available includes the cash of CapMan Fund Investments SICAV-SIF EUR 4.0 (0.1) million, which is reported in fund investments in the group balance sheet.

During the financial year, CapMan issued unsecured sustainability-linked notes in the aggregate principal amount of EUR 60 million. The notes will mature on June 10, 2029 and carry a fixed annual interest of 6.5% paid annually. In conjunction with this, in June and December 2024, CapMan redemeed the EUR 50 million notes issued in 2020. CapMan also has unsecured sustainability-linked notes in the aggregate principal amount of EUR 40 million issued in April 2022, which will mature on April 13, 2027 and carry a fixed annual interest of 4.5% paid annually. The sustainability targets of this loan were achieved already in 2023, which means its interest rate will remain unchanged till maturity. The sustainability targets of the loan maturing on June 10, 2029, will be reviewed on December 31, 2027, which may result in an increase of its interest rate by a maximum of 1.25 pp for the remainder of the term. Both loan agreements include covenants tied to equity ratio.

At the end of the financial year, CapMan has an unused long-term credit facility of EUR 20 million. CapMan has not used the credit facility during the financial year or the previous year. The long-term credit facility agreement includes a covenant related to net gearing.

b) Interest rate risk

At the end of the financial year, interest-bearing liabilities carry a fixed interest rate. Exposure to interest rate risk arises principally from the long-term credit facility of EUR 20 million with a floating interest rate. This facility was not used during the financial year or the previous year. The interest rate of the credit facility is the aggregate of the reference rate (Euribor) and the margin, which is dependent on the Group's net gearing and is in the range of 1.75% to 2.70%. Interest rate is also tied to reaching sustainability targets, and the outcome of reaching these targets may decrease or increase the margin by maximum of 0.025 pp.

The EUR 60 million bond issued in June 2024 has an annual coupon rate of 6.5% paid annually. The terms of the bond include sustainability-linked targets, and the outcome of reaching these will be reviewed on December 31, 2027. Failure to fulfill the agreed sustainability-linked targets could increase the interest rate by 1.25 pp, at maximum, for the remainder of the loan term. The sustainability-linked senior bond issued in April 2022 carry initially an annual coupon rate of 4.5% paid annually. As CapMan succeeded in fulfilling the sustainability-linked conditions, the interest rate will remain unchanged for the remainder of the loan term.

c) Credit risk

Group's credit risks relate to trade, loan and other receivables recognised at amortised cost. The maximum credit loss of these receivables is the carrying amount of the receivable in question. There are no collaterals relating to the receivables. CapMan has some credit-impaired co-investment loan receivables from entities controlled by the former or current investment teams. Co-investment loans are determined to be credit-impaired, if the expected distributions from the underlying fund would

not enable full repayment of the loan to CapMan. Events triggering an evaluation to determine, if a loan receivable is credit-impaired, are typically decreased or lost carry potential or decreased fair value of the underlying fund's remaining investments or fund filing for liquidation. More information on the expected credit losses of receivables is presented in notes 19 and 21.

Group's loan commitments are related to co-investment loans granted to team entities, which they use in order to make co-investments to funds managed by the Group. Apart from credit-impaired loan receivables, credit risk of loan commitments is deemed low, when the repayment is subject to distributions received from the fund and the fund is capable of making distributions equaling or exceeding the needed cash for repaying the loans and accrued interests.

d) Currency risk

Changes in exchange rates, particularly between the US dollar and the euro, impact the company's performance, since a part of group's fund investments and non-current accounts receivables are in US dollar. Any strengthening/weakening of the dollar against the euro would improve/weaken the fair value gains or US dollar fund investments and revenue related to US dollar nominated account receivables.

CapMan has started to hedge its US dollar nominated account receivables against changes in exchange rates as of December 2022. The group does not, however, apply hedge accounting to the derivative instruments used for hedging purposes.

CapMan has subsidiaries outside of the Eurozone, and their equity is exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. However, the Group does not hedge currency as the impact of exposure to currency movements on equity is relatively small.

As at December 31, 2024, 91% of the Group's financial assets were in euros, 7% in US dollars 1% in Swedish krona and 1% in other currencies. The following table presents the fair values of the foreign currency denominated financial assets.

e) Capital management

Group's aim is to have an efficient capital structure that allows the company to manage its ongoing obligations and that the business has the prerequisites for operating normally. The Return on equity (ROE) and the Equity ratio are the means for monitoring capital structure.

The long-term financial targets of the Group have been confirmed by the Board of Directors of CapMan Plc. The financial targets are based on growth, profitability and balance sheet. The

combined growth objective for the Management Company and Service businesses is more than 15 per cent p.a. on average. The objective for return on equity is more than 20 per cent p.a. on average. CapMan's equity ratio target is more than 50 per cent.

The distribution policy was updated during the financial year by the Board of Directors of CapMan Plc. CapMan's objective is to distribute at least 70 per cent of the Group's profit attributable to equity holders of the company excluding the impact of fair value changes, subject to the distributable funds of the parent company. In addition, CapMan may pay out distributions accrued from investment operations, taking into consideration foreseen cash requirements for future investments. Previously, CapMan's policy was to pay an annually increasing dividend to its shareholders.

At the balance sheet date, CapMan has two unsecured senior bonds outstanding, EUR 40 million sustainability-linked unsecured bond maturing on April 13, 2027 and EUR 60 million sustainability-linked unsecured bond maturing on June 10, 2029. In addition, CapMan has a long-term credit facility of EUR 20 million available until June 17, 2027, which was not in use at the balance sheet date.

The long-term credit facility agreement and senior bond agreeements include financial covenants related to both equity ratio and net gearing.

1,000 EUR 2024 2023
Interest-bearing loans 102,533 93,856
Cash and cash equivalents –90,142 –41,017

Net gearing 6.1% 45.9%
Return on equity 46.2% 2.6%
Equity ratio 59.0% 47.8%

f) Price risk of the investments in funds

The investments in funds are valued using the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines. According to these guidelines, the fair values are generally derived by multiplying key performance metrics of the investee company (e.g., EBITDA) by the relevant valuation multiple (e.g., price/equity ratio) observed for comparable publicly traded companies or transactions. Changes in valuation multiples can lead to significant changes in fair values depending on the leverage ratio of the investee company.

g) Climate related risks

The Group has assessed the impact of climate-related matters and whether climate related risks could be expected to result in material adjustments in the Group's financial statements. The Group is committed to Science Based Targets and climate net zero target and has established short-term, mid-term and long-term sustainability targets for CapMan Group as well as for its investment areas. The Group's largest assets consist of financial assets, and more precisely, of its own and external fund investments valued at fair value. Therefore, potential climate-related risks are primarily associated with CapMan's own fund investments, managed by CapMan's investment professionals, and with external fund investments. CapMan's commitment to climate net zero, combined with the valuation process described earlier, can therefore be seen taking sufficiently into account climate-related matters impacting the fair value of the underlying portfolio companies, real estate properties and other holdings owned by CapMan's own funds. Fair value of external fund investments is based on external fund managers' valuations and no climate-related adjustments are made by CapMan. However, the Group sees that the industries, in which the portfolio companies of the external fund investments operate, are not materially subject to climate related risks with regards to their fair valuation.

CAPMAN ANNUAL REPORT 2024 77

Consolidated Financial Statements Parent Company Financial Statements Auditor's report

and objectively of the investment teams. The Risk and Valuation team is responsible for reviewing the monthly reporting and forecasts for portfolio companies. Valuation proposals are examined by the Risk and Valuation team and subsequently reviewed and decided by the Valuation Committee, which comprises at least Valuation Controller, Risk Manager and at least one CapMan AIF Manager's Board of Directors. The portfolio company valuations are reviewed in the Valuation Committee on a quarterly basis. The valuations are back tested against realised exit valuations, and the results of such back testing are reported to the Audit Committee annually.

Investments in real estate are valued at fair value based on appraisals made by independent external experts, who follow International Valuation Standards (IVS). The method most appropriate to the use of the property is always applied, or a combination of such methods. For the most part, the valuation methodology applied is the discounted cash flow method, which is based on significant unobservable inputs. These inputs include the following:

Future rental cash inflows Based on the actual location, type and quality of the properties
and supported by the terms of any existing lease, other contracts
or external evidence such as current market rents for similar
properties;
Discount rates Reflecting current market assessments of the uncertainty in the
amount and timing of cash flows;
Estimated vacancy rates Based on current and expected future market conditions after expiry
of any current lease;
Property operating expenses Including necessary investments to maintain functionality of the
property for its expected useful life;
Capitalisation rates Based on actual location size and quality of the properties and
taking into account market data at the valuation date;
Terminal value Taking into account assumptions regarding maintenance costs ,
vacancy rates and market rents.

The investments in natural capital funds that CapMan manages are valued based on appraisals made in cooperation with independent appraisers with specific experience in the valuation of investments in timberland assets. The main forest valuation approaches include income approach where the value is the net present value of expected cash flows discounted at a current market rate, cost approach where the value is based on historical investment cost of the forest asset (land cost, planting and management cost etc.) and market approach where the value is based on the transaction values of comparable forest assets.

Valuations based on appraisals by Independent external experts are updated annually for closed-end funds and quarterly for open-ended funds.

CapMan has made some investments also in funds that are not managed by CapMan Group companies. The fair values of these investments in CapMan's balance sheet are primarily based on the valuations by the respective fund managers. No separate sensitivity analysis is prepared by CapMan for these investments. However, CapMan evaluates the significant investments individually and makes adjustments to them if necessary. Separate sensitivity analysis is prepared by CapMan for these adjustments.

The changes in the peer group earnings multiples and the peer group discounts are typically opposite to each other. Therefore, if the peer group multiples increase, a higher discount is typically applied. Because of this, a change in the peer group multiples may not in full be reflected in the fair values of the fund investments.

The valuations are based on euro. If portfolio company's reporting currency is other than euro, P&L items used in the basis of valuation are converted applying the average foreign exchange rate for corresponding year and the balance sheet items are converted applying the rate at the time of reporting. Changes in the foreign exchange rates, in CapMan's estimate, have no significant direct impact on the fair values calculated by peer group multiples during the reporting period.

The valuation of CapMan funds' investment is based on international valuation guidelines that are widely used and accepted within the industry and among investors. CapMan always aims at valuing funds' investments at their actual value. Fair value is the best estimate of the price that would be received by selling an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

Determining the fair value of fund investments for funds investing in portfolio companies is carried out using International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines (IPEVG). In estimating fair value for an investment, CapMan applies a technique or techniques that is/ are appropriate in light of the nature, facts, and circumstances of the investment in the context of the total investment portfolio. In doing this, current market data and several inputs, including the nature of the investment, local market conditions, trading values on public exchanges for comparable securities, current and projected operating performance, and the financial situation of the investment, are evaluated and combined with market participant assumptions. In selecting the appropriate valuation technique for each particular investment, consideration of those specific terms of the investment that may impact its fair value is required.

Different methodologies may be considered. The most applied methodologies at CapMan include available market price for actively traded (quoted) investments, earnings multiple valuation technique, whereby public peer group multiples are used to estimate the value of a particular investment, and the Discounted Cash Flows method, whereby estimated future cash flows and the terminal value are discounted to the present by applying the appropriate risk-adjusted rate. CapMan always applies a discount to peer group multiples, due to e.g. limited liquidity of the investments. Due to the qualitative nature of the valuation methodologies, the fair values are to a considerable degree based on CapMan's judgment.

The Group has a Risk and Valuation team, which monitors the performance and the price risk of the investment portfolio (financial assets entered at fair value through profit or loss) independently

Notes to the Parent Company Financial Statements (FAS)

Basis of preparation for parent company financial statements

CapMan Plc's financial statements for 2024 have been prepared in accordance with the Finnish Accounting Act.

Foreign currency translation

Transactions in foreign currencies have been recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency denominated receivables and payables are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the closing date of the review period.

Investments

Investments are valued at acquisition cost. If the probable future income from the investment is permanently lower than the value at acquisition cost excluding depreciation, the difference is recognised as an expense.

Intangible and tangible assets

Intangible and tangible assets are valued at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortisation according to the plan, except for assets having an indefinite useful life.

Receivables

Receivables comprise receivables from Group companies and associated companies, trade receivables, accrued income and other receivables. Receivables are recorded at nominal value, however no higher than at probable value. Receivables are classified as non-current assets if the maturity exceeds 12 months.

Financial risk management and derivative instruments

The financial risk management of CapMan Group is centralised with the parent company. The financial risk management principles are provided in the Notes to the Group financial statements under 33. Financial risk management.

CapMan Plc uses derivative instruments, such as foreign exchange forwards, to hedge against currency changes incurred to its certain and significant foreign currency denominated trade receivables. Derivative instruments are measured at the lower of their cost or market value.

Non-current liabilities

Senior bonds maturing later than one year after the balance sheet date are recorded as non-current liabilities at nominal value.

Current liabilities

Bonds maturing within one year are presented as current liabilities and measured at their nominal value. Derivative liabilities are measured at fair value.

Leases

Lease payments are recognised as other expenses. The remaining commitments under each lease are provided in the Notes section under "Commitments".

Provisions

Provisions are recognised as expenses in case the parent company has an obligation that will not result in comparable income or losses that are deemed apparent.

Pensions

Statutory pension expenditures are recognised as expenses at the year of accrual. Pensions have been arranged through insurance policies of external pension institutions.

Revenue

Revenue includes the sale of services to subsidiaries and revenue from the sale of securities, dividends and other similar income from securities classified as inventories. Revenue from services is recognised, when the service is delivered.

Income taxes

Income taxes are recognised based on Finnish tax law. Deferred taxes are calculated on temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax base. Deferred taxes have been measured at the statutory tax rates that have been enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax is realised.

Appropriations

Appropriations in the income statement consist of possible given and received group contributions and possible depreciation in excess of plan, and in the balance sheet, possible accumulated depreciation in excess of plan.

Auditor's report (Translation of the Finnish original)

To the Annual General Meeting of CapMan Plc

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of CapMan Plc (business identity code 0922445-7) for the year ended 31 December, 2024. The financial statements comprise the consolidated balance sheet, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows and notes, including material accounting policy information, as well as the parent company's balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows and notes.

In our opinion

  • the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the group's financial position, financial performance and cash flows in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU.
  • the financial statements give a true and fair view of the parent company's financial performance and financial position in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of financial statements in Finland and comply with statutory requirements.

Our opinion is consistent with the additional report submitted to the Audit and Risk Committee.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with good auditing practice in Finland. Our responsibilities under good auditing practice are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report.

We are independent of the parent company and of the group companies in accordance with the ethical requirements that are

applicable in Finland and are relevant to our audit, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

In our best knowledge and understanding, the non-audit services that we have provided to the parent company and group companies are in compliance with laws and regulations applicable in Finland regarding these services, and we have not provided any prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of regulation (EU) 537/2014. The non-audit services that we have provided have been disclosed in note 7 to the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial statements.

We have also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls. This includes consideration of whether there was evidence of management bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter
Revenue recognition Valuation of non-liquid investments
We refer to the accounting policies in the financial
statements and the Note 3.
We refer to the accounting policies in the financial
statements and the Notes 18 and 33.

CapMan's turnover in consolidated group accounts amounted to 57,6 million euros. It consists of management fees, sale of services and carried interest income.

The timing of revenue recognition can be judgmental as revenue is recognized either over time or at the point in time depending on the circumstances and provided services. The assessment of recognized revenue includes management assumptions and estimates.

Revenue recognition was determined to be a key audit matter. Revenue recognition related to carried interest was determined to be a significant risk of material misstatement referred to in EU Regulation No 537/2014 point (c) of Article 10(2) in respect of its timely recognition and at a proper amount.

Our audit procedures to address the risk of material misstatement included, among other things, assessing that the revenue recognition principles comply to applicable accounting standards, assessing the process for recognizing revenue and identifying controls relating to revenue recognition.

We examined sales cutoff with analytical procedures. We supplemented our procedures with test of details on a transaction level on a random basis in order to ensure that the revenue has been recognized in a correct accounting period and it's based on the corresponding agreements.

In addition, we assessed the adequacy of disclosures relating to the fee and commission income of the group.

The Group's investment portfolio 31.12.2024 amounts to 167,2 million euros. The investment portfolio includes mainly investments to funds managed by CapMan group companies.

Determination of the fair value of funds and direct investments to portfolio companies is executed using International Private Equity and Venture Capital valuation guidelines (IPEV) and IFRS and the fair values are based on estimated cash-flows or peer-group multiples. Fair value measurement includes subjective estimations by management, specifically in areas where fair value is based on a model-based valuation. Valuation techniques for private equity funds involve setting various assumptions regarding pricing factors. The use of different valuation techniques and assumptions could lead to different estimates of fair value.

Valuation of non-liquid investments was determined to be a key audit matter and a significant risk of material misstatement referred to in EU Regulation No 537/2014 point (c) of Article 10(2).

Our audit procedures to address the risk of material misstatement relating to valuation of non-liquid investments included, among others: Developing an understanding of the private equity, natural capital and real estate portfolios.

  • Reviewing the price of recent transactions and investments.
  • Assessing assumptions used in the valuations and obtaining an understanding that the valuation appropriately reflects the risks of the portfolios.
  • Comparing the assumptions against established policies and determining if they have been applied appropriately.
  • Reviewing and assessing the valuations determined by CapMan or other party.
  • Assessing whether the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines and valuation methodology of IFRS have been applied correctly.

Our valuation specialists were involved in the audit.

In addition, we assessed the adequacy of disclosures relating to the non-liquid investments.

Dasos Capital business combination Valuation of goodwill
We refer to the accounting policies in the financial
statements and the Note 14.
We refer to the accounting policies in the financial
statements and the Note 16.
The Group acquired the shares of Dasos
Capital Oy during the financial year. The
acquisition date was determined to be March
1, 2024. The purchase consideration of 37,4
million euros was paid with CapMan Oyj shares
(34,4 million euros) and in cash (3,0 million
euros).
Assets acquired and liabilities and
contingent liabilities assumed in a business
combination are measured at acquisition date
fair value. Management judgement relates
specifically to determining the fair value of
acquired assets and liabilities, in particular
determining the fair values of separately
identifiable intangible assets such as customer
relationships.
The significant business combination was
a key audit matter as it involves valuation
processes and methods, and judgments made
by management.
Our audit procedures included, among others:

Familiarizing ourselves with the Share
Purchase Agreement relating to the business
combination of Dasos Capital.

Assessing together with our valuation
specialists the valuation processes and
methodologies to identify acquired assets and
liabilities and to determine the fair value of
these.

Assessing the adequacy of disclosures relating
to the business combination.
The value of goodwill at the date of the
financial statements 31.12.2024 amounted
to 30,1 million euros representing 9% of total
assets and 15% of equity.
Valuation of goodwill was a key audit
matter because the assessment process is
complex and is based on numerous judgmental
estimates and because the amount of goodwill
is significant to the financial statements.
Valuation of goodwill is based on
management's estimate about the value in
use calculations of the cash generating units.
There are a number of underlying assumptions
used to determine the value in use, including
development of revenue and profitability and
the discount rate applied on cash flows.
Estimated value in use of the cash gener
ating units may vary significantly when the
underlying assumptions are changed. Changes
in above-mentioned individual assumptions
may result in an impairment of goodwill.
Valuation of goodwill was also a significant
risk of material misstatement as defined by EU
Regulation No 537/2014, point (c) of Article
10(2).
Our audit procedures to address the risk of
material misstatement in respect of valuation of
goodwill included among others:

Involvement of EY valuation specialists
to assist us in evaluating methodologies,
impairment calculations and underlying
assumptions applied by the management in
impairment testing.

Testing of the mathematical accuracy of the
impairment calculations.

Comparing the key assumptions applied by
management in impairment tests to approved
strategic plans and forecasts, information
available in external sources and our
independently calculated industry averages
such as weighted average cost of capital used
in discounting the cashflows.

Assessment of the Group's disclosures in
respect of impairment testing.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director for the Financial Statements

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU, and of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of financial statements in Finland and comply with statutory requirements. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for assessing the parent company's and the group's ability to continue as going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting. The financial statements are prepared using the going concern basis of accounting unless there is an intention to liquidate the parent company or the group or cease operations, or there is no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with good auditing practice will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with good auditing practice, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the parent company's or the group's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' and the Managing Director's use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the parent company's or the group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the parent company or the group to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events so that the financial statements give a true and fair view.
  • Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the group as a basis for forming an opinion on the group financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Other Reporting Requirements

Information on our audit engagement

We were first appointed as auditors by the Annual General Meeting on March 14, 2018, and our appointment represents a total period of uninterrupted engagement of seven years.

Other information

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the report of the Board of Directors and the information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. We have obtained the report of the Board of Directors prior to the date of this auditor's report, and the Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after that date.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. With respect to report of the Board of Directors, our responsibility also includes considering whether the report of the Board of Directors has been prepared in compliance with the applicable provisions.

In our opinion, the information in the report of the Board of Directors is consistent with the information in the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors has been prepared in compliance with the applicable provisions.

If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor's report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

As an active and significant owner, we are ideally positioned to drive change towards well governed, environmentally, and socially sustainable businesses and assets. Our impact comes through decisions, target-setting and finding opportunities to mitigate societal and environmental challenges.

In our 2024 sustainability statement, we are preparing for the upcoming implementation of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which will be mandatory for CapMan starting in 2026, when 2025 data will be reported. This new regulation requires compliance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), setting guidelines for reporting on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters. To ensure we meet these standards, we are proactively integrating them into our disclosures starting this year, with an expectation of ongoing enhancements as the sectorspecific standards are finalised and market practices evolve. We view our 2024 report as a significant step towards compliance with CSRD, with further progress anticipated in the year ahead.

BP-1 General basis for preparation of sustainability statements

The sustainability statement for CapMan is prepared on a consolidated basis, aligning with the scope of consolidation used for the financial statements. This approach ensures consistency and coherence across all CapMan's reporting. The sustainability statement addresses CapMan's own operations1 while also considering the upstream and downstream value chains.

BP-2 Disclosures in relation to specific circumstances

CapMan defines short-term time horizons as applicable to the current financial year, medium-term as up to five years, and long-term as more than five years, as defined in ESRS 1 section 6.4. The metrics include value chain data estimated using indirect sources, such as commute habits surveys, car rental usage, hotel stays and waste related GHG emissions estimations. For Scope 3, Category 15, Investments, the data provided by our portfolio companies is unaudited, introducing a degree of uncertainty. We gather this data annually, assuming that the information adheres to the GHG Protocol. Starting in 2026, CapMan

1When the report refers to 'own operations' fpr CapMan Plc, it focuses on the activities of CapMan Plc, including its investment operations, fund management, and services, while excluding the funds, portfolio companies, and investments that are part of the broader value chain

will comply with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) as mandated by the new EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which came into effect in early 2023. In anticipation of these requirements, CapMan has proactively revised its report structure and content to take into consideration the ESRS guidelines.

GOV-1 The role of the administrative, management and supervisory bodies

CapMan's commitment to responsible business practices is reflected in its governance structures. The diversity of CapMan's Board of Directors (the "Board") in terms of gender, age, educational, and professional backgrounds supports a broad perspective on sustainability opportunities, including diversity and active ownership.

The Board consists of one executive member and five non-executive members, with no employee representatives on the Board. In 2024 the Board included both genders, with 33% women and 67% men, and members aged between 46 and 68. Their educational backgrounds were relevant to the company's operations, and they had experience in both international and local operating environments. The same applied in year 2023. 50% of the Board members are independent. The Audit and Risk Committee consisting of independent members, is responsible for overseeing impacts, risks, and opportunities. The responsibilities and tasks of the Audit and Risk Committee are described in more detail in the Charter of the Committee.

The Board approves long-term strategic Group-level sustainability objectives and priorities, oversees key sustainability risks, and approves the Group-wide remuneration policy, including how it links with sustainability criteria. Further the Board is responsible for the proper organisation of CapMan's operations, ensuring that the company has the appropriate sustainability organisation. The Board has delegated some of its duties and oversight to its committees, namely Audit and Risk Committee and Remuneration Committee. The Audit and Risk Committee monitors and addresses closely sustainability matters such as sustainability reporting, KPI monitoring, and risk management. The committee's expertise in financial and business management supports effective oversight of these areas. The Remuneration Committee in turn assists the Board in remuneration matters aligning remuneration principles with the company's strategy and long-term goals, including sustainability goals and criteria.

The Management Group acts as CapMan's Sustainability steering group, agreeing on the high-level action plan for the execution of the Board-approved long-term strategic sustainability objectives and priorities. The inclusion of Head of Sustainability in the Management Group ensures that sustainability matters are integrated into CapMan's strategy and operations. Investment teams are represented in the Management Group and are committed to the sustainability action plans agreed within the CapMan Group. Investment teams are responsible for implementing the sustainability investment policies in their operations,

formulating and implementing fund-level sustainability strategies, and integrating the CapMan sustainability approach and standards in their investments. Each investment team has appointed at least one member whose responsibilities encompass sustainability-related matters and who actively participates in Group-wide sustainability initiatives.

The Head of Sustainability, as part of the Management team, has overall responsibility for the development and implementation of CapMan's group-level sustainability strategy, setting more detailed short-term sustainability targets, and developing sustainability operations within CapMan. Head of Sustainability is also responsible for training CapMan personnel on sustainability-related matters. Sustainability issues are further managed by the Sustainability working group, consisting of representatives of CapMan's investment teams and support functions.

The management of sustainability linked impacts, risks, and opportunities is an integral part of CapMan's governance model. Opportunities are analysed as part of strategy work, and risks are assessed annually. Through CapMan funds' investments, the company aims to improve real estate and infrastructure assets, protects, conserves and enhances natural capital, and builds successful companies. CapMan integrates its Sustainability Standards throughout the investment processes as described in the Sustainability Investment Policy.

The Board together with the CEO, oversees the setting of targets related to material impacts, risks, and opportunities, ensuring they align with the company's risk management policy. This entails among others maintaining a good reputation, minimising compliance and conduct risks, and ensuring the continuity of operations by safeguarding critical functions. Sustainability matters are addressed early in pre-investment process, and sustainability value creation levers are included in business plans. Progress is monitored through various mechanisms, including the Taskforce for Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), and regular updates on emissions reduction efforts. Regular reporting and updates are provided to stakeholders, and semi-annual updates on progress towards ESG targets are conducted.

CapMan's Board and CEO ensure the availability and development of appropriate skills and expertise to oversee sustainability matters through several mechanisms. The Shareholders' Nomination Board considers the size, composition, and diversity of the Board, focusing on areas of expertise beneficial to the company, including sustainability. The Board conducts an annual self-evaluation of its operations and working methods, which includes assessing the skills and expertise related to sustainability. The Board members are invited to participate in the regular ESG trainings organised by CapMan. The Audit and Risk Committee, consisting of members of the Board of Directors, has introduced sustainability topics into its agenda, ensuring that sustainability skills are part of the oversight process.

CapMan's bodies possess and leverage sustainability-related expertise through diverse educational and professional backgrounds relevant to CapMan's operations, including sustainability. The Management Group includes Head of Sustainability, who is responsible for coordinating sustainability efforts across the company.

GOV-2 Information provided to and sustainability matters addressed by the undertaking's administrative, management and supervisory bodies

CapMan's Board and CEO are informed about material impacts, risks, and opportunities, as well as the implementation and effectiveness of policies, actions, metrics, and targets adopted to address them. The Board and the CEO play a crucial role in considering these factors when overseeing the company's strategy, decisions on major transactions, and the risk management process. The Board decides on the risk appetite and risk tolerance to ensure continuity of operations and optimise CapMan's ability to meet its objectives. In any decision-making, aspects such as impact on equity ratio, shareholder value, company image and reputation, legal and political impacts, safety, potential loss and profit ratio, and impact on personnel are considered from a risk perspective.

During the 2024 reporting period, the material impacts, risks, and opportunities identified through CapMan's Double Materiality Assessment, including climate change adaptation, GHG emissions, diversity, active ownership, and business integrity, were presented and discussed with CapMan's Board and its Audit and Risk Committee. The Audit and Risk Committee reviewed these findings.

CapMan's governance bodies ensure that appropriate mechanisms for performance monitoring and related reporting are in place through the roles of the Board and its committees. The Audit and Risk Committee monitors financial reporting, internal controls, and risk management systems, while the Remuneration Committee oversees executive remuneration and its alignment with strategic goals. Regular evaluations, both internal and external, are conducted to assess the effectiveness of these mechanisms, ensuring compliance with laws and regulations and promoting good corporate governance practices.

GOV-3 Integration of sustainability-related performance in incentive schemes

CapMan has integrated sustainability- and climate-related performance into its incentive schemes and remuneration policies. The Long-Term Incentive Plan, known as the Performance Share Plan (PSP), is a three-year program that requires individual investments to be eligible for participation. Positions eligible for the PSP program include members of CapMan's management group, team leader within Platform Functions (IT, Legal & Compliance, HR, Marketing, Fund Operations, Risk & Valuation), and key positions such as Directors of Institutional Sales. The CEO can approve additional key positions for participation if deemed feasible.

The PSP program includes four sustainability-related targets: Science Based Targets (specifically focusing on emission reductions), Employee Satisfaction, Remuneration, and Gender Diversity. These targets are directly linked to the scoring of the PSP program. The PSP program's sustainability targets are divided equally, with each target accounting for 25% of the overall evaluation. The percentage of variable remuneration dependent on sustainability-related targets is 5.9%.

For STI (short-term variable remuneration), the employees performance review and grade, impacts the overall attainment of the bonus. Employees are evaluated based on personal targets set in the beginning of the year as well as against performance, including sustainability-related, metrics. CapMan's performance evaluation process for its STI includes metrics linked to sustainable ways of working based on how employees demonstrate high ethics and transparency in day-to-day work, fostering and promoting a sustainable long-term solution that positively impact the work environment and supporting sound judgment in implementing solutions and decisions.

Short Term Incentive (STI) schemes are updated and reviewed annually, while the Long-Term Incentive (LTI) scheme is updated every three years. All remuneration schemes and components are first reviewed by CapMan's Remuneration Committee and ultimately approved by the Board.

GOV-5 Risk management and internal controls over sustainability reporting

CapMan follows ISO31000 for risk assessment, identifying risks continuously and conducting an annual risk assessment of key risks. This process includes identification, analysis, evaluation, treatment, monitoring, review, and reporting. Sustainability-related risks are analysed as part of each risk and as individual risks and are assessed against the likelihood, severity, risk appetite, and current controls, and finally mapped in a 1–7 matrix.

CapMan's risk management and internal control processes for sustainability reporting are designed to mitigate risks of material misstatement due to human error or incomplete data, ensuring the accuracy, transparency, and reliability of sustainability information. The main features include dedicated reporting software that enhances data transparency and traceability, specialised reporting units with experts responsible for their areas, internal reviews by management group members, and weekly focus group meetings to discuss key performance indicators (KPIs) and other critical issues.

The main risks identified in relation to sustainability reporting are data quality and potential false claims and greenwashing. To mitigate these risks, CapMan promotes transparency on data quality and implements data assurance measures. The findings of risk assessments and internal controls are communicated to relevant teams, with material issues addressed by the respective teams. The implementation of these actions are monitored, and significant developments or concerns are reported to management.

Risk management reports its findings to the Audit & Risk Committee twice a year. Additionally, an annual risk assessment and risk mapping are conducted and reported to the Audit & Risk Committee during the fourth quarter of each year. This comprehensive approach ensures that CapMan effectively manages and mitigates sustainability-related risks, maintaining high standards of accuracy and reliability in its sustainability reporting.

IRO-1 Description of the processes to identify and assess material impacts, risks and opportunities

In 2024, CapMan conducted a Double Materiality Assessment to map and understand its most significant impacts on people and the environment (impact materiality), as well as the business risks and opportunities arising from sustainability topics (financial materiality). This strategic approach allows for effective evaluation of sustainability-related impacts, risks, and opportunities. The process focuses on specific activities, business relationships, and geographies with heightened risks by engaging relevant stakeholders and conducting sensitivity analyses. Impacts from both CapMan's operations and business relationships are considered through stakeholder engagement, quantitative assessments, and integration into the double materiality matrix. Consultations with affected stakeholders and external experts are included through interviews, surveys, workshops, and reviewing secondary sources. The Double Materiality Assessment process identifies, assesses, prioritises, and monitors potential and actual impacts on people and the environment. Impacts are prioritised based on their severity and likelihood, using criteria such as scale, scope, and remediability, ensuring that the most significant impacts are addressed first. The same prioritisation approach is applied to both risks and opportunities. The materiality threshold was established using summary statistics and quartiles from the collected data.

CapMan has conducted a salient human rights risk assessment over its operations and value chain, and prioritising actions to strengthen its human rights due diligence process. The Salient Human Rights Assessment conducted by third-party expert covered CapMan Plc and its investment teams, resulting in a roadmap for addressing potential gaps. A human rights salient risk mapping with a third-party expert has also been conducted, resulting in a roadmap to close any gaps. With the exception of our Double Materiality Assessment, no separate comprehensive environmental assessment has been conducted for CapMan's own operations, the environmental impact of the operations (primarily GHG emissions and energy consumption) is monitored and deemed minor compared to the overall impacts when the investments are taken into account. Each investment within CapMan's value chain undergoes asset-specific due diligence to assess potential and actual impacts.

CapMan identifies risks in daily business operations and annually maps key risks based on likelihood and impact. An annual risk assessment process identifies significant risks and analyses changes in the risk environment. Each risk is analysed for possible causes and effects, and a risk matrix (1–7) is used

to assess the likelihood, magnitude, and nature of the effects. Sustainability-related risks are prioritised alongside other types of risks, reflecting their importance to CapMan's overall strategy and operations.

The decision-making process involves the Board overseeing strategic and financial objectives, the CEO and Management Group managing daily operations, and committees such as the Audit and Risk Committee and Remuneration Committee overseeing financial reporting, internal controls, risk management, and executive remuneration. Internal control procedures include policies and processes for reliable and compliant reporting, a risk management framework, and whistleblowing channels for transparency and accountability.

The process to identify, assess, and manage impacts and risks is integrated into CapMan's overall risk management framework, with continuous identification and annual assessment through risk mapping. The main way to identify, assess, and manage impacts and risks of investments is embedded in the investment process, with due diligence and risk mitigation actions reviewed by risk management. Opportunities are systematically evaluated and leveraged to align with CapMan's strategic goals and operational activities, embedded within strategic planning, operational processes, and the risk management framework.

CapMan uses several input parameters to identify, assess, and manage material impacts, risks, and opportunities, including previous assessments, gap analyses, stakeholder engagement, quantitative and qualitative data, and sensitivity analysis. The process aims to take into consideration the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).

IRO-2 Disclosure requirements in ESRS covered by the undertaking's sustainability statement

CapMan has determined the material information to be disclosed related to its impacts, risks, and opportunities through a Double Materiality Assessment. Material topics were identified based on their severity, scope, remediability, and likelihood, with specific thresholds set for short-term, medium-term, and long-term impacts. These thresholds ensured that only the most significant topics, with a moderate scale and regional scope, were included in the final assessment for reporting under the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).

The Double Materiality Assessment determined that climate change is a material topic for CapMan, consistent with our previous sustainability strategy, including sustainability processes and priorities. However, pollution, water and marine resources, biodiversity and ecosystems, circular economy, workers in the value chain, affected communities, and consumers and end-users fell under our threshold for material topics following the methodology used in the assessment. The assessment confirmed that own workforce and business conduct are material topics for CapMan, aligning with our sustainability strategy and priorities. In preparing its sustainability statement, CapMan worked towards complying with the disclosure requirements set out by the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).

CapMan manages funds that invest in unlisted markets following a multi-strategy approach. Our investment areas cover real estate, infrastructure, natural capital, minority, majority, and credit investments in private companies and wealth management. Our service business included procurement services until October 2024, when CapMan announced the divestment of CapMan Procurement Services (CaPS). CapMan raises capital for its funds under management from a global base of professional investors, who serve as Limited Partners (LPs) in the funds. CapMan has approximately 400 LPs as customers, with the majority being pension funds located in the Nordic and DACH regions. The ultimate beneficiaries of these customers include pension beneficiaries, insurance policyholders, households, academic institutions, and other stakeholders supported by the activities of CapMan's investors.

CapMan's vision is to become the most responsible Nordic private asset company. As active owners, we influence decision-making and activities across the CapMan Group including assets and portfolio companies. We steer our investments towards clear sustainability targets and strive to find opportunities that mitigate societal and environmental challenges. CapMan actively promotes sustainability themes that are material across all investments and tailors the approach to asset- and company-specific conditions. These themes include climate action based on science, nature-positive operations that safeguard planetary boundaries, diverse, equitable, and inclusive businesses that provide meaningful work, human rights throughout the value chain, and accountability and transparency.

The long-term perspective of private assets allows us to contribute to a more sustainable future. By transitioning our portfolio with our focus on active value creation across investment strategies, including real estate, infrastructure, natural capital, and private equity, we are building the society we want to see in 2040. CapMan's strategy and value creation center around our role as an active owner. With our hands-on approach, we are ideally positioned to drive change towards well-governed, environmentally and socially sustainable assets and businesses while providing attractive returns to our investors. CapMan's strategy and sustainability themes are aligned with previously conducted Double Materiality Assessments as well as CapMan as an investor and CapMan Real Estate.

CapMan's business comprises of private assets fund management and advisory services, as well as investment business. In the Management Company Business, the funds managed by CapMan make investments in real estate, infrastructure, natural capital and unlisted companies in the Nordics. The Management Company Business also includes wealth services. Through its investment business, CapMan invests from its own balance sheet in the private market asset classes and mainly to its own funds. CapMan raises capital for its funds under management primarily from professional investors in the Nordic countries, Europe, and globally. Through our investments, we influence decisions and shape the development of assets and businesses, thereby impacting Nordic communities and surroundings where they are located and active. Simultaneously, we provide returns for our investors and value to shareholders.

CAPMAN ANNUAL REPORT 2024 103

General information Environmental information Social information Governance information

CapMan's business model and value chain main inputs are capital raised from investors and human resources, including the expertise and skills of employees and advisors. We build long-term investor relationships through transparent communication and support the development of our employees through training and regular employee surveys. CapMan delivers financial returns for investors and fosters well-managed businesses that promote better conditions of the environment, society and drive economic growth and provide meaningful employment. We support the transition of everyday products, services, utilities, and properties towards more sustainable operating models, contributing to the creation of functional, high-quality environments and communities.

CapMan's upstream value chain includes sourcing capital from professional investors and collaborating with different stakeholders such as legal advisors and financial institutions. Our downstream value chain focuses on delivering value to investors, shareholders, the companies and assets we impact, as well as the communities and environments they are located in. As a fund manager and an advisor within the private assets sector, CapMan operates at the intersection of investors and Nordic real estate, infrastructure, natural capital, and unlisted companies.

SBM-2 Interests and views of stakeholders

CapMan's key stakeholders include the Board and the management, investors, shareholders, and employees. Additionally, government and public sector entities, such as the Financial Supervisory Authority (FinFSA), banks, portfolio companies, real assets, private asset stakeholders like real estate tenants, local communities, and partners involved in the value chain are also important. CapMan engages actively with these key stakeholders through regular communication, reporting, and events for investors. These include transparent disclosures such as quarterly reporting for shareholders, professional development initiatives and wellbeing surveys for employees, close collaboration with entrepreneurs and management for portfolio companies, and consultations and tenant satisfaction surveys for asset stakeholders. Employees are also supported with professional development opportunities and wellbeing initiatives.

The purpose of CapMan's stakeholder engagement is to build trust, foster long-term relationships, align the interests of stakeholders with the organisation's goals, and support value creation. The outcomes of stakeholder engagement are integrated into decision-making processes and operational strategies to ensure alignment with stakeholder needs and expectations. This engagement helps identify opportunities, address concerns, and promote transparency in operations.

CapMan understands that its key stakeholders prioritise sustainable value creation, business integrity, strong financial performance, and ethical business conduct. Employees value professional growth, wellbeing, and an inclusive work environment, while tenants focus on affordable housing and well-maintained properties. CapMan's Board and the CEO are informed about the views and interests of affected stakeholders regarding sustainability-related impacts through regular updates and reports. The Head of Sustainability is part of the Management Group that acts as CapMan's Sustainability steering group.

SBM-3 Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model

CapMan's Double Materiality Assessment identified several key Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) topics, including Climate Change (E1), Own Workforce (S1), Business Conduct (G1), in addition to the General Disclosures (ESRS 2). These topics are integral to CapMan's strategy and business model, influencing both financial and non-financial impacts.

The material impacts identified include climate change adaptation and GHG emissions. Climate change adaptation is concentrated in the downstream value chain, particularly in the operations of portfolio companies and private assets, where measures are implemented to mitigate climate risks and enhance resilience. GHG emissions are concentrated both in CapMan's own operations and across the value chain, with the majority occurring in Scope 3, category 15 investments. The material negative and positive impacts of climate change adaptation and GHG emissions on people and the environment are also considered. Employment and inclusion are concentrated in CapMan's operations and downstream value chain, promoting diversity and inclusion within the workforce and encouraging portfolio companies to adopt inclusive employment practices.

The material risks and opportunities identified include climate change adaptation, GHG emissions, diversity, active ownership, and business integrity. Climate change adaptation represents both a risk and an opportunity downstream, particularly in portfolio companies, real estate assets, infrastructure projects, and timberland, where adapting to climate impacts is essential for resilience and value creation. GHG emissions pose risks upstream and downstream, including regulatory, reputational, and operational risks, but also present opportunities for energy efficiency improvements and transitioning to renewable energy. Diversity is a key opportunity in CapMan's operations and downstream in portfolio companies, enabling more inclusive work environments and enhancing decision-making. Active ownership is central to CapMan's business model, representing an opportunity to influence portfolio companies and assets positively through sustainability integration, driving long-term value creation. Business integrity is fundamental across all operations and value chain levels, mitigating risks associated with unethical behaviour while building trust with stakeholders and ensuring compliance with regulatory and societal expectations.

The current and anticipated effects of these material impacts, risks, and opportunities on CapMan's business model, value chain, strategy, and decision-making are significant. Climate change adaptation

involves transition and physical risks in the value chain, with potential impacts on operations and investments. CapMan has set and validated short-term Science-Based Targets (SBTs) and a Net Zero target, integrating climate change into value preservation and creation plans for portfolios. GHG emissions impact both operations and the value chain, with efforts focused on reducing Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions, as CapMan has not identified any Scope 1 emissions. CapMan's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) working group serves as a forum for discussing and implementing concrete measures to promote diversity and inclusion, setting gender targets and recruiting guidelines. Portfolio companies are encouraged to adopt DEI policies. Active ownership is the basis for all actions, delivering innovative solutions proactively and creating lasting value by working closely with stakeholders. Business integrity ensures long-term value creation by maintaining high ethical standards and transparency in operations and investments.

CapMan's material impacts are closely connected to our strategy and business model. Sustainability is a core component of CapMan's active ownership approach, investment processes, and value creation strategies. Material impacts, such as GHG emissions, arise directly from our activities, including managing portfolio companies, real estate, and infrastructure investments.

CapMan's material impacts are addressed through short-term, mid-term, and long-term goals outlined in our sustainability roadmap. These goals include immediate actions to integrate sustainability into investment processes, medium-term targets for reducing emissions and enhancing diversity, and the long-term objective of achieving net zero emissions by 2040.

CapMan has material impacts both through its activities and its business relationships. Through its own operations and investment activities, CapMan directly contributes to material impacts such as GHG emissions. Material impacts from business relationships arise through partnerships and oversight, such as the operations of portfolio companies, energy use by real estate tenants, and relationships with suppliers.

CapMan's material risks and opportunities currently affect our financial position, performance, and cash flows primarily through steering our investments towards sustainability targets, such as improving energy efficiency in real estate and infrastructure assets and integrating sustainable practices into portfolio companies' operations. These efforts can increase operational costs in the short term but are expected to enhance asset value and generate long-term financial returns. Additionally, climate-related risks such as regulatory changes or extreme weather events may impact portfolio performance, while opportunities like transitioning to renewable energy create new revenue streams and cost-saving potential.

Within the next annual reporting period, material risks such as regulatory changes related to climate change adaptation or emissions could lead to adjustments in the carrying amounts of assets. Opportunities arising from increased demand for sustainable investments could result in the repricing of assets.

The material impacts, risks, and opportunities recognised during the current reporting period are considered to be in line with those identified in the previous reporting period. Climate-related risks, including physical risks such as extreme weather events and transition risks arising from regulatory or technological changes, remain central to CapMan's assessments. These risks are primarily linked to the underlying assets in the private assets funds managed or invested in by CapMan. Opportunities related to active ownership, such as the integration of sustainability into value creation processes, and business integrity, including compliance with new regulatory requirements, were also recognised as material in the previous year.

CapMan has disclosed several sustainability-related material impacts, risks, and opportunities covered by the ESRS Disclosure requirements. These include climate change adaptation and GHG emissions (Scope 1, 2, and 3) under E1 - Climate Change, diversity under S1 - Own Workforce, and active ownership and business integrity under G1 - Business Conduct. These disclosures aim to meet the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).

SBM-3 Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model

CapMan's strategy and business model are inherently adaptable to climate change due to the dynamic nature of our investment portfolio. This flexibility allows us to adjust and respond to climate-related impacts, risks, and opportunities across any time horizon.

IRO-1 Description of the processes to identify and assess material climate-related impacts, risks and opportunities

CapMan assesses the impact of climate-related matters and whether climate-related risks could result in material adjustments to the Group's financial statements. Physical climate risks, such as extreme weather, and transition climate risks, such as regulatory or technological changes, could impact CapMan's financial performance due to effects on investment portfolio valuations.

CapMan's operations have negligible climate-related impacts compared to the value chain, so the focus is on identifying and assessing the impacts of the investment portfolio. This is conducted through asset-specific due diligence and value creation plans during the pre-investment and holding periods. Furthermore, CapMan's own operations are not heavily reliant on physical assets, resulting in low exposure to physical climate risks, which are monitored by internal teams. The internal teams also monitor climate transition risks that stem from e.g. new environmental and sustainability-related regulatory requirements in the financial sector.

Different investment areas have tailored approaches regarding the physical and transition risks and opportunities. CapMan Real Estate captures greenhouse gas (GHG) and energy-related risks as part of the Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor (CRREM) assessments for transition risks and applies an EU Taxonomy aligned approach for physical climate risks. Further, physical and transition climate-related risks are covered by the due diligence process for all new real estate acquisitions, with physical risk assessments updated every 5–10 years. The CRREM assessment for energy and carbon (transition) risks is conducted annually for standing investments. CapMan Infra calculates its GHG emissions and conducts EU Taxonomy aligned climate risk and vulnerability assessments under different scenarios, providing financial values at risk for the underlying assets. CapMan Natural Capital calculates GHG emissions and sinks and will be assessing the physical and transition risks of its assets in the near future. CapMan Private Equity assesses the materiality of climate risks for each asset during due diligence and regularly calculates its GHG emissions.

Scenario analysis is used to inform the identification and assessment of physical hazards and risks over short, medium, and long-term horizons. Short-term refers to periods of 12 months or less, and long-term to periods longer than 12 months, with no defined medium-term horizon for accounting purposes. CapMan uses EU Taxonomy aligned climate risk scenarios for the real estate and infrastructure investment portfolio, employing one to four physical risk scenarios to determine and assess hazards, identify significant risks, and provide mitigation and adaptation actions. If the sensitivity to a hazard is assessed as high or medium-high, adaptation solutions are integrated in the asset's business plan. All 28 climate-related hazards listed in the EU Taxonomy are assessed, with heat waves and heavy rain or flooding being the most common hazards for properties, while hazards vary for infrastructure assets.

Transition events have also been identified over short, medium, and long-term horizons for the real estate and infrastructure investments. For the Real Estate portfolio, transition risks are identified and evaluated using the CRREM tool, which assesses energy intensity and GHG emissions intensity of properties against CRREM's pre-defined 1.5DC pathways until 2050. The assessment considers property type and location and is conducted annually for all properties in the Real Estate portfolio. Continuous work is done to improve energy efficiency and reduce GHG emissions of the Real Estate portfolio For the Infrastructure portfolio, a materiality survey was issued to stakeholders to identify the most material transition risks, ranking overall transition risks (policy, technology, market, reputation) and elements within each risk as set out in the TCFD Recommendations. Additional analysis by a third-party assessed the overall vulnerability on a portfolio and asset level under three IEA-aligned scenarios, using a scoring system for adaptive capacity and sensitivity. Interviews with portfolio companies qualitatively assessed adaptive capacity and sensitivity, while desk-based research identified additional policy, technological, or market-related risks and wider transition risks to infrastructure in the countries where the Infrastructure portfolio operates.

E1-1 Transition plan for climate change mitigation

CapMan's short-term GHG emissions reduction targets follow the Private Equity Sector Science-Based Target (SBT) Guidance and have been validated by the Science-based Targets Initiative (SBTi). CapMan has not identified Scope 1 emissions. In accordance with SBTi Private Equity Sector SBT Guidance, CapMan is reducing its scope 2 emissions by using renewable electricity targeted at 100% by 2030. CapMan's four largest offices have been certified with the WWF Green office program. For scope 3 emissions, business travel is targeted to be reduced by 25% per FTE by 2032. Starting in 2025, all carbon from business-related flights will be compensated using carbon removal services from a third party. For investments, CapMan follows the SBTi Private Equity Sector SBT Guidance where eligible portfolio companies will be setting their own science-based targets. The real estate portfolio follows their reduction targets, aiming for a 50% emission intensity reduction for residential and 72% reduction for commercial buildings by 2032. Roadmaps have been implemented, and the eligible asset classes are tracking their process annually towards the targets.

CapMan has set a net-zero target for 2040 and for real estate an operational carbon target for 2035 and an upfront embodied carbon target for 2040. Eligible portfolio companies set SBTs and develop plans on how to achieve them, and the real estate portfolio has a sustainability strategy 2023–2026 with concrete measures to implement. All of the above are part of the portfolio companies' and real estate's overall business strategy.

Calculations for operational or capital expenditures related to CapMan's own operations have not been performed, as they are not considered significant for the implementation of the action plans. For Real Estate investments, the financial implications from transition and climate risk assessments are scheduled to be completed in 2025. For the Real Estate portfolio, we have started the work to fully understand these implications. For the Infrastructure and Natural Capital portfolio, the focus has been on risk assessments rather than complete climate transition plans. Nevertheless, the Infrastructure portfolio's climate risk and vulnerability assessments have calculated the financial value at risk under different scenarios, as well as the potential adaptation costs. For other investment teams, this is portfolio company-specific and decided on a case-by-case basis.

While CapMan's operations are not eligible to be aligned with the EU Taxonomy, certain CapMan assets are. Depending on fund investment strategies and fund SFDR classification, those assets need to disclose eligibility and alignment to the EU Taxonomy. CapMan Real Estate has a target to align 40% of its assets (GAV) under management with the EU Taxonomy criteria by 2026. CapMan Infrastructure II assets are eligible to be aligned with the EU Taxonomy, but the alignment depends on management decisions before these portfolio companies establish individual plans on how to fulfil the technical and screening criteria. Taxonomy eligibility and alignment assessment is yet to be conducted for Natural Capital.

Currently, CapMan Plc's approach to transitioning assets consists of various standalone components. These will be compiled into a single document in 2025, at which point we will have a complete transition plan. CapMan has no significant capital expenditures for coal, oil, or gas-related economic activities. Parts of our transition approach has been approved by the CEO, while the Board has approved the overall direction of CapMan Plc's sustainability efforts. As stated above, CapMan has not identified any scope 1 emissions. We track the annual scope 2 GHG emissions, as well as the following scope 3 categories: purchased goods and services, activities related to fuel and energy, business travel, employee commuting, and investments. We also track GHG emissions from our investments, i.e., the real estate, infrastructure and natural capital assets, as well as portfolio companies (including the number of companies that have set SBTs), and disclose this information annually.

E1-2 Policies related to climate change mitigation and adaptation

CapMan has adopted policies and guidelines related to climate change for our investments and business travel. As part of our vision to become the most responsible Nordic private asset company, we aim to reduce our scope 12 and 2 emissions in line with the SBTi Private Equity Sector SBT Guidance and have been validated by the SBTi. Additionally, CapMan has set a net-zero target for 2040, with a specific goal for real estate operational carbon by 2035 and real estate upfront embodied carbon by 2040.

In accordance with the SBTi Private Equity Sector SBT Guidance, we are reducing our scope 2 emissions by using renewable electricity, with a target of 100% by 2030. Our four largest offices have been certified with the WWF Green Office program, which also encompasses other selected sustainability matters. For operational scope 3 emissions, we aim to reduce business travel by 25% per full-time employee by 2032. Starting in 2025, all carbon emissions from business-related flights will be compensated using carbon removal services from a third party.

Eligible portfolio companies are required to set SBTs and develop plans to achieve them. The real estate portfolio has an ESG strategy in place until 2026, with concrete measures to implement. All these initiatives are integral to the overall business strategy of our portfolio companies and real estate assets.

We track our annual scope 2 GHG emissions, as well as several scope 3 categories, including purchased goods and services, activities related to fuel and energy, business travel, employee commuting, and investments. For our investments, we also monitor the real estate GHG emissions reductions, as well as the number of companies that have set SBTs, along with their emissions, and disclose this information annually. Our sustainable investment policy addresses various sustainability matters, including climate change mitigation, climate change adaptation, energy efficiency, and renewable energy deployment.

E1-4 Targets related to climate change mitigation and adaptation

CapMan is dedicated to monitoring GHG emissions and has established SBTs in line with the 1.5-degree goal of the Paris Agreement, to drive our mitigation and adaptation policies. We aim to reduce absolute scope 13 and 2 GHG emissions by 51% by 2032 from a 2021 base year, aligning with our net-zero goal by 2040. This target is absolute and covers scope 1 and 2 emissions, following the SBTi Private Equity Sector SBT Guidance.

We are committed to increasing our annual sourcing of renewable electricity from 46% in 2021 to 100% by 2030. This absolute target for scope 2 emissions is also guided by the SBTi.

For our real estate portfolio, we aim to reduce GHG emissions from residential buildings by 50% per square meter by 2032 from a 2021 base year. Similarly, we target a 72% reduction for service (commercial) buildings within the same timeframe. These relative targets for CapMan scope 3 emissions (category 15 investments) are part of our broader net-zero strategy, where the real estate targets net-zero operational carbon by 2035 and upfront embodied carbon by 2040.

By 2027, 54.5% of eligible private equity investments will set science-based targets, with a goal of reaching 100% by 2032. We manage all our Private Equity and Infrastructure investments in line with our net-zero by 2040 commitment, covering scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. This target is guided by the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change Net Zero Investment Framework.

Additionally, we aim to reduce business-related travel emissions by 25% per FTE by 2032, starting from a 2022 baseline of 782 kg/FTE. This relative target for scope 3 emissions is calculated as non-science-based (i.e. not SBTi aligned) but aims for an annual reduction of 2.8%.

We monitor progress annually, disclose it, and ensure all GHGs are covered, maintaining a gross greenhouse gas emissions target.

Our past progress, as disclosed in our Annual Reports, shows that our 2022 Scope 1-2 emissions were 68 tCO2e and 64 tCO2e in 2023. Scope 3 Category 1–14 (i.e. Business travel, Employee commuting, Purchased goods and services, Fuel and energy activities) emissions were 1,934 tCO2e in 2022 and 4,399 tCO2e in 2023, while Category 15 investments remain dynamic and progress cannot be disclosed.

To achieve our GHG emission reduction targets, we will engage with the landlords of our leased office spaces to procure green electricity and heating, and purchase renewable electricity certificates for Scope 1 and 2 emissions. For Scope 3, category 6 business travel, we are implementing a travel policy and coupling it with carbon compensation for all business-related flights. For Scope 3, category 15

investments, we are working with eligible portfolio companies to set their own SBTs. Our Real Estate portfolio's asset management plans include actions to reduce GHG emissions according to the targets.

REAL ESTATE GHG EMISSIONS TARGETS, PROGRESS AND METHODOLOGY

2021 2022 2023 2024 Target 2032
Commercial
(kgCO2e/sqm/y) 19.3
16.3 14.54 12.20 5.4
Residential
(kgCO2e/sqm/y) 13.6
13.6 7.92 5.98 6.8

The GHG emission intensities for Real Estate assets are calculated in line with Science Based Targets initiative's methodology and have decreased by 16% for its commercial properties and decreased by 25% for its residential properties compared to 2023. The reduction can be explained by the following initiatives:

  • Energy efficiency improvements of the properties including initiatives such as optimizing BMS systems, installing LED lighting, optimizing the operational hours at the properties, upgrades in heat pumps and window replacements to more energy efficient versions.
  • Increasing on-site renewable energy including installation of ground source heat pumps and photovoltaic systems.
  • Increase the purchase of renewable and/or fossil free energy. The renewable or fossil free energy in 2024 amounted to 41% of the total energy consumed.
  • CapMan encourages its real estate tenants to purchase renewable electricity at the properties. This encouragement is stated in the sustainability appendices to lease contracts, both in residential and commercial contracts.
  • In addition, the Danish location-based emission factors are significantly lower in 2024 compared to 2023 (99 compared to 163 gCO2/kWh). This is due to a more accurate source used in 2024 (Danish Energy Agency) compared to 2023 (AIB).

The GHG emission intensity (kgCO2e/sqm) of real estate covers the operational energy consumption and possible refrigerant leakages of the properties, excluding the embodied carbon. Market-based emission factors have been applied to the energy purchased by the landlord and by commercial tenants, where the factor is known. For energy purchased by residential tenants or when the energy supplier is unknown, location-based emission factors have been applied. The location-based emission factors have been provided by a third party (sources: Fingrid, Danish Energy Agency, AIB and Noregs vassdrags- og energidirektorat). All properties have been included except from properties with no available data: mainly minority owned parking halls, major renovation or new construction projects. Properties that have been acquired or sold during the year are included, but adjusted to the ownership period The intensity figures are based on gross floor areas. The gross area is measured differently in different countries, following national standards. For properties where data is available only for the common areas and not tenant areas, CapMan has calculated estimations to capture the energy consumption of the whole building. The estimations are calculated based on energy intensity estimates per country and property type. The estimates have been conducted by CapMan by applying third-party energy factors (Motiva). In 2024 the residential energy consumption data coverage and quality was improved. The amount of actual

EMISSION INTENSITY OF REAL ESTATE, kgCO2e/m2

measured data increased and the amount of estimations decreased. This was achieved for most of the Danish residential assets and some Finnish residential assets with the help of third-party providers (e.g. Comundo and energy transmission companies). Scope 1 emissions have been calculated based on refrigerant leakages in the properties and the refrigerant emission factors have been provided by a third party (source: Defra). Any possible transmission losses from upstream value chain of energy providers have not been included in the GHG emission intensity figures.

4Due to a lag between the portfolio investments disclosing their emissions and CapMan's Annual Report, for the 2024 investment data, we have used the realised data from 2023, as we believe it provides the most accurate reflection.

Data coverage and data quality continue to improve each year, driven by the ongoing enhancement of data collection and calculation processes. In addition, for business travel emissions CapMan is gradually including more activity-based GHG data and improving its estimations for employee commuting. As CapMan rents all of its office space, Scope 2 emissions are dependent on energy providers contracted by the owners. As a result, variations between years reflect these improvements rather than any substantial changes to the underlying processes. The net revenue used to calculate GHG intensity is EUR 57.6.

General information Environmental information Social information Governance information

CapMan accounts for direct Scope 1 emissions from its own operations, indirect Scope 2 emissions from its own activities as well as Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services, business travel, employee commuting and the share of emissions from the investments that it manages. CapMan has no Scope 1 emissions.5 CapMan's Scope 2 emissions calculations are based on actual energy consumption data. These emissions from Scope 2 are calculated both using location-based and market-based methodologies, using the latest available conversion factors. CapMan's Scope 3 emissions (Category 1 - 14, except for 6) are spend-based, using the latest available conversion factors. Scope 3 Category 6, Business travel, is obtained from CapMan's travel agent that uses activity-based GHG accounting. The majority of CapMan's Scope 3 emissions are generated through our investments. Scope 3 Category 15 emissions (investments) are calculated as follows: CapMan Real Estate scope includes refrigerant leakages and purchased energy (both by landlord and tenant). The detailed methodology can be found from chapter 'Real Estate GHG emissions targets, progress and methodology'. CapMan Infra uses a combination of actual energy consumption and production and modelling to derive its GHG emissions. CapMan private equity relies on self-reporting from portfolio companies and modelling to determine GHG emissions. The addition of one more investment team (Natural Capital) will have an impact on CapMan's Scope 3 (Category 15) emissions. These changes will increase the overall Scope 3 Category 15 emissions.

Significant events and changes in circumstances relevant to GHG emissions

Due to a lag between the portfolio investments disclosing their emissions and CapMan's Annual Report, in the table above we have used the realized data from 2023 Scope 3 Category 15 emissions, as we believe it provides the most accurate reflection. The 2024 Scope 3 Category 15 emissions for all portfolio investments will be provided in the publication following the Annual Report.

If there are significant changes the publication following the Annual Report will feature more accurate information. Otherwise, the published data will remain the same in both reports.

Biogenic emissions

Biogenic emissions of CO2 from the combustion or bio-degradation of biomass not included in Scope 1 GHG emissions are zero. The percentage of contractual instruments used for the sale and purchase of unbundled energy attribute claims in relation to Scope 2 GHG emissions is zero. Biogenic emissions of CO2 from the combustion or bio-degradation of biomass not included in Scope 2 GHG emissions are also zero.

CapMan's approach to calculating and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions involves detailed methodologies and specific boundaries for different categories. For Scope 3 GHG emissions in categories 1 to 14, CapMan employed a third party to perform spend-based calculations. In Category 15, real estate specific emissions accounting principles are described in chapter real estate GHG emissions targets, progress and methodology. The Infrastructure portfolio's emissions are calculated using market, location, and spend-based methods by an external provider. For the Private Equity portfolio, modelling is used when portfolio companies cannot provide their GHG emissions calculations.

Certain Scope 3 GHG emissions categories have been excluded from CapMan's calculations as they were not deemed material. Specifically, in Category 15, embodied carbon for real estate investments has been excluded from the current Scope 3 calculations but will be incorporated in future calculations. This comprehensive approach ensures that CapMan's GHG emissions reporting is thorough and aligned with industry standards, providing a clear and accurate representation of their environmental impact.

E1-9 Anticipated financial effects from material physical and transition risks and potential climaterelated opportunities

Parts of our organisation's real estate assets under management are at material physical risk before considering climate change adaptation actions. The infrastructure portfolio is not subject to major material physical risk, and these assessments have not been conducted for the other asset classes. CapMan's operations have no assets at material risk, but managed assets with material physical risk are located in Finland, Denmark, Norway, or Sweden. For its real estate and infrastructure portfolio, CapMan has assessed the anticipated financial effects of some of its assets at material physical risk, identifying asset value at risk and costs for climate adaptation solutions. In real estate, these assessments apply to the whole building, identifying both long-term and short-term risks, and are conducted in accordance with the EU Taxonomy. CapMan Infra assesses the anticipated financial effects of its assets at material physical risk in its EU Taxonomy aligned climate risk and vulnerability assessments, identifying portfolio company value at risk and costs for climate adaptation solutions.

CapMan is exposed to transition risks arising from e.g. new environmental and sustainability-related regulatory requirements in the financial sector, and potential transition climate-related risks are mainly linked to risks in underlying assets. These risks vary due to asset class and company-specific factors. The real estate portfolio and the private equity portfolio can face stranded assets. For the real estate investments, material transition risks are assessed with the 1.5DC CRREM energy and GHG emission pathways, based on property type and location. The stranding year of each asset is identified, and actions are taken to improve stranding years. Transition risk assessments have been conducted for infrastructure investment team, assessing the value at risk from transition events under three different scenarios (International Energy Agency Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario, International Energy Agency Sustainable Development Scenario, and International Energy Agency Beyond 2°C Scenario) in the short, medium, and long term. Limitations can be related to data availability and quality used in the modelling.

SBM-3 Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model

CapMan includes people in its own workforce who can be materially impacted by the undertaking within the scope of disclosure under ESRS 2. Groups subject to material impacts include general employees.

CapMan's activities that result in positive impacts include promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). This is a material impact from the social perspective, positively affecting employees.

Opportunities include benefits from promoting workforce diversity. CapMan's transition to more sustainable and climate net zero operations will have several material impacts on workers. These include enhancing sustainability training, changing operational practices, promoting diversity and inclusion, improving health and safety, creating new job opportunities, and encouraging active employee participation in sustainability initiatives. These changes are part of CapMan's efforts to reduce negative environmental impacts and aim for climate net zero operations.

CapMan's operations are not at significant risk of incidents of forced labour, compulsory labour, or child labour. However, CapMan remains vigilant and ensures strict compliance with labour laws and ethical standards, as well as labour standards set out in the UN Global Compact, across all operations and the value chain to prevent any such incidents. In 2023 and 2024, CapMan conducted an assessment of salient human rights risks and impacts, evaluating policies, governance, and management processes. This assessment was benchmarked to authoritative international standards such as the UN Guiding Principles, OECD Guidelines, ILO Conventions and the International Bill of Human Rights.

Based on the Double Materiality Assessment report, CapMan has identified diversity as a material opportunity specifically related to certain groups within its workforce. This includes promoting gender equality and equal pay for work of equal value, as well as the employment and inclusion of persons with disabilities. These opportunities are seen as beneficial for enhancing inclusivity and equity within the organisation.

S1-1 Policies related to own workforce

CapMan has adopted a robust set of policies and guidelines for its workforce, reviewed and updated annually, with training sessions held for new and existing employees. CapMan's Corporate People Policies consolidate all applicable workforce policies, including the Code of Conduct, Travel & Expense Policy, Leave of Absence Policies, Foreign Assignment Policy, Social Media Guidelines, Recruitment and Onboarding, Work Environment, Health and Safety, Training and Development, Non-Discrimination and Equal Opportunity Policy, Anti-Harassment and Bullying Policy, Fairness Procedure, Whistleblowing Policy, and Processing of Personal Data. These policies highlight the employee legal framework, describing principles, practices, and obligations towards the workforce and each other. The policies are approved by the company's Board of Directors or the management group. Additionally, CapMan has a Supplier Code of Conduct for internal procurement processes.

The Corporate Remuneration Policy outlines the company's compensation philosophy, clarifying compensation components and emphasising fairness and equity in salary structures and schemes. This policy supports CapMan's strategy in attracting, retaining, developing, and rewarding employees who enhance shareholder and fund investor value, fostering a performance culture. It ensures the credibility, effectiveness, sustainability, and fairness of remuneration practices, balancing fixed and variable pay. With a focus on sustainability, the policy underscores CapMan's commitment to responsible business practices and sustainability metrics. It aligns the remuneration structure with sound risk management, counteracting excessive risk-taking, including sustainability risks, and adhering to the investment policies of CapMan's funds. The policy also ensures that total variable remuneration does not compromise the maintenance of a sound capital base. This policy is approved by the company's Board of Directors.

Local Employee Handbooks for Finland, Sweden, and Denmark are subsets of the Corporate People Policy, detailing local nuances. These handbooks define local practices applicable to employees, covering information on vacation, public holidays, local insurances, benefits, and more. The CapMan management group approves any updates drafted by Human Resources (HR).

The purpose of the Code of Conduct is to establish basic principles governing decision-making and actions, ensuring compliance with laws and regulations while promoting ethical behaviour. Each CapMan employee is responsible for adhering to the Code, and managers are expected to demonstrate its importance through their behaviour and guidance. The Code is non-exhaustive, and any breaches must be rectified promptly.

As a member of the UN Global Compact and the Principles for Responsible Investment, CapMan promotes environmental and social sustainability in all business practices and investments. We adhere to national and international standards protecting human rights, labour laws, work environment, privacy, fair wages, and working hours. Our internal policies enforce and clarify practices related to compensation, occupational safety, non-discrimination, and privacy. CapMan has assigned responsibility at the top management level for equal treatment and opportunities in employment, linking advancement to desired performance in this area. Staff training on non-discrimination policies and practices is provided, and adjustments to the physical environment ensure health and safety for all.

CapMan engages with employees through Group-level information events, team-level discussions, and individual meetings. Annual employee surveys collect feedback to plan actions, and performance and development discussions are held regularly. Occupational Health and Safety committees allow employees to engage directly with employer representatives on work environment, safety, and health matters.

CapMan upholds the highest standards related to human rights, following European and local laws and regulations. Our policies, including the Corporate People Policy, Remuneration Policies, Whistleblowing Policy, Anti-Corruption and Anti-Bribery Policy, and Supplier Code of Conduct, protect human rights within the organisation. CapMan's policies are aligned with internationally recognised instruments such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and International Labour Organisation's Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. We conduct due diligence-checks to identify and mitigate adverse human rights impacts and have established a grievance mechanism (whistleblowing policy) in line with the UNGPs. Our Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy reflects the standards of the PRI and UN Global Compact, with rigorous compliance procedures to prevent corruption and bribery.

CapMan conducts business in compliance with applicable legislation and expects equivalent compliance from its suppliers. Such targets are ensured by the internal procurement processes described in the Supplier Code of Conduct. Our Data Protection and Privacy Policy complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union, ensuring lawful and transparent processing of personal data.

CapMan's Corporate People Policy outlines our general code of conduct, emphasising respect and inclusion. Our diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts are highlighted in sections on recruiting principles, work environment policy, discrimination and equal opportunities policy, anti-harassment and bullying policy, and fairness procedure. Policies are implemented through specific procedures to prevent, mitigate, and address discrimination, and to advance diversity and inclusion.

CapMan keeps up-to-date records on recruitment, training, and promotion, providing a transparent view of opportunities for employees. Grievance procedures are in place to address complaints and handle appeals, promoting access to skills development. Significant changes to policies are communicated through onboarding sessions, online training courses, intranet libraries, topical campaigns, and internal communications.

S1-2 Processes for engaging with own workers and workers' representatives about impacts

CapMan continuously encourages close cooperation with its employees and their representatives where applicable. Although CapMan is not part of a local Collective Bargaining Agreement and does not hold regular union consultations, it engages with employees through various means. These include annual employee surveys, Occupational Safety and Health committees, and local safety representatives. For example, in Finland, the Occupational Safety and Health Committee is a formal representative body with

elected employee representatives and appointed employer representatives. The committee cooperates in occupational safety and health matters in the own workforce.

CapMan also involves employees in different working groups, such as the DEI working group, which has representatives from most of CapMan's offices and is chaired by one Board member. The DEI working group discuss initiatives, projects, or ideas that may increase DEI at the Group level and provides practical guidelines and recommendations to management in biannual workshops. Additionally, CapMan has an Employee Performance Process that starts with setting targets for the year, followed by a formal check-in in the third quarter, and ends with a performance discussion. Leadership and manager assessments are also conducted, where employees evaluate their managers' leadership styles and skills.

Engagement with employees occurs through structured annual processes such as employee surveys, leadership surveys, and performance discussions. Regular meetings are held with the Occupational Safety and Health Committee in Finland and the DEI working group. Ad-hoc working groups or focus groups are formed on specific matters, such as the renewal of the corporate brand identity or office moves. Regular team and manager one-on-one discussions address ongoing issues, allowing managers to take input and act accordingly.

CapMan's top management, including the CEO, CFO, COO, Head of Fund Investor Relations, Head of Sustainability, and all Managing Partners, have operational responsibility for ensuring that engagement happens and that results inform the company's approach. Group-wide actions may be taken depending on the matters at hand, but the most effective way is to address challenges directly within the teams where they originate.

CapMan does not have a Global Framework Agreement with its workers' representatives but complies with local laws and regulations to fulfil cooperation with employee representatives where applicable. The effectiveness of engagement with employees is assessed through various forms, including annual employee surveys, performance discussions, feedback questionnaires after events, and formal occupational health and safety committee meetings. Location-specific sessions, interactive staff information channels, and focus groups are also used to gather feedback and to plan actions accordingly.

To gain insight into the perspectives of vulnerable or marginalised employees, CapMan uses employee surveys and conducts Group-specific workshops or focus groups based on survey results. In 2023, a Wellbeing Survey was conducted, and individual responses "at risk" were automatically submitted to the Occupational Health Care Provider. The DEI workgroup focuses on underrepresented minorities and actions that may create a more inclusive workplace. External network participation at the CEO level, such as the L20 network, also helps share market studies and best practices.

CapMan promotes open feedback and regularly engages with its workforce to address potential barriers to engagement. This is done through annual employee surveys, regular surveys from internal events, employee information sessions, focus groups, and exit interviews. The Occupational Safety and Health committee also plays a role in this process.

CapMan fosters a transparent and effective communication plan for all internal material, using the intranet and teams channels to share information. Regular personnel information sessions are held to keep the workforce updated on business matters. Training sessions and focus groups are arranged when needed, especially if a new policy is being adopted.

Conflicting interests among employees are managed through training on policies, annual declarations of holdings, restrictions on secondary employment, and robust processes to handle potential conflicts of interest. A whistleblowing mechanism is also in place.

CapMan is committed to upholding human rights for all stakeholders engaged in its workforce. The company has implemented a set of policies aligned with international standards and best practices. Human rights are embedded in corporate policies, and the leadership team fully endorses these policies. Employees receive training on human rights principles, and suppliers are required to adhere to the human rights policy. A whistleblowing channel is available for reporting concerns, and all reports are investigated promptly and thoroughly.

The effectiveness of processes for engaging with the workforce is assessed using metrics from CapMan's HR and relevant survey platforms, managed by vetted third-party providers.

S1-3 Processes to remediate negative impacts and channels for own workers to raise concerns

CapMan is dedicated to maintaining a responsible and ethical approach to workforce management. If we identify a situation where we have caused or contributed to a material negative impact on our workforce, we follow a structured approach to provide or contribute to an effective remedy. We promptly acknowledge any involvement in the negative impact and commit to taking appropriate remedial action. We engage with affected employees and, where relevant, their representatives to understand the full extent of the impact and their perspectives on appropriate remedies. Remedies are designed to be proportionate to the impact and aim to restore the situation as much as possible.

To ensure the effectiveness of our remedies, we have established a assessment process. This process includes utilising feedback mechanisms, such as employee surveys and exit interviews, to identify areas where our workforce may be experiencing negative impacts. Once a negative impact is identified, we develop and implement targeted remedies, which may include policy changes, additional training, or process improvements.

We track both our company's eNPS score as well as our Inclusion index annually, and continuously monitor our absence rate, turnover rate, and any continuous illnesses. We actively seek feedback from our employees regarding the perceived effectiveness of the remedies through follow-up surveys and focus groups. Based on the feedback and data collected, we continuously refine and improve our remedies to better address the negative impacts.

CapMan is committed to fostering an open and supportive environment where employees feel comfortable raising their concerns or needs. Several channels are in place to ensure that employees can voice any concerns they may have effectively and receive timely support. These channels include direct communication with managers, where employees are encouraged to report any concerns or needs directly to their managers, who will commence appropriate actions to address the issues raised. Employees can also reach out to the Human Resources team for any issues that require further escalation or if they feel uncomfortable discussing their concerns with their managers.

The Early Support Policy aims to detect and respond to signs of concern over employees' well-being as early as possible, including early intervention and discussions to support employees and maintain their working capacity. If an employee has a concern over the well-being of a colleague, they can raise the issue with the HR team or the manager.

Each location maintains local occupational safety representation or committees following local legislation, where employees can contact their local representative for concerns about occupational safety. These concerns are addressed in accordance with local procedures and legislation. Employees should first try to resolve complaints informally with their manager. If unresolved, they can escalate the issue in accordance with the Fairness Procedure to the HR team for a formal meeting, followed by a hearing with the second line manager if needed. If still unresolved, the final appeal can be made to the CEO, who will make a final ruling.

CapMan has established a standardised whistleblowing channel and arranged a proper handling process for whistleblowing reports, which includes non-retaliation towards the person using this channel. The whistleblowing channel can be used to alert CapMan about serious misconducts or abuses affecting individuals, our company/organisation, society, or the environment. Whistleblowing can be done by any person openly or anonymously through a whistleblowing channel or in person.

CapMan supports the availability of these channels through various processes. The whistleblowing channel tracks all reported cases, and each case is investigated properly, reported to the management group, the Board, and, if applicable, to external supervisory bodies. Results of annual surveys are addressed on Group, Function, and Team levels, where suitable actions are discussed, agreed upon, and actioned in close cooperation with the relevant team or group.

Local Occupational Safety and Health committees meet regularly to plan and follow through on topical matters, such as occupational health care services, fire inspections, first-aid training, and environment issues, with meeting minutes kept for each meeting. Robust training on whistleblowing for all new joiners, as well as refresher courses (both in class and online), are provided to the whole workforce. Policies regarding protection against retaliation for individuals that use channels to raise concerns or needs are in place. CapMan has well-established channels for its workforce to raise concerns in the form of a whistleblowing channel (accessible to all), annual employee surveys, and close cooperation with employee representatives where applicable. Third-party mechanisms are accessible to all own workforce, and employees and their representatives are able to access channels at the level of the undertaking they are employed by or contracted to work for.

CapMan maintains a low hierarchy that encourages employees to speak directly with their managers or any member of management about work-related concerns, suggestions, or observations regarding material impacts. While not bound by a collective bargaining agreement, CapMan supports the election or appointment of employee representatives who can bring forward collective concerns and suggestions to management. Regular meetings between management and the workforce are held to discuss operational changes, health and safety issues, environmental impacts, and any other material aspects of their work. Various feedback mechanisms, such as employee surveys, are provided to anonymously or openly share insights and concerns. CapMan has established a whistleblower policy that protects employees who report unethical or illegal activities, ensuring that workers can raise concerns about material impacts without fear of retaliation. Regular training sessions are conducted to educate employees about their rights and the channels available to them for addressing material impacts, including information on how to effectively use these channels.

S1-4 Taking action on material impacts on own workforce, and approaches to mitigating material risks and pursuing material opportunities related to own workforce, and effectiveness of those actions

CapMan is committed to addressing material impacts, managing risks, and pursuing opportunities related to its workforce. For talent development, we plan to strengthen leadership, critical skills, and foster an inclusive and sustainable culture between 2025 and 2026. In talent recruitment, our focus is on attracting more diverse candidates by utilising modern systems to minimise recruitment bias, training hiring managers on bias, and applying new language in recruitment materials, also between 2025 and 2026. Our diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) strategy involves establishing an internal DEI working group to discuss topical actions and plans, adopting the Rooney Rule6 in the gender split of top candidates in recruitment, and harmonising family leave policies to further support employees. This is an ongoing long-term effort starting in 2024 to properly embed the DEI mindset within the organisation.

6The Rooney Rule mandates at least one minority candidate in the interview process. CapMan strives to uphold the Rooney Rule in all its recruitment processes and also asks any external recruitment party to uphold to the same standard. The Rooney Rule does not dictate which candidate is selected, however it provides a better frame for pursuing a more diverse pool of candidates at the final stages of the recruitment process.

CapMan follows a structured approach to manage impacts, risks, and opportunities related to our own workforce. This includes engaging with workers and their representatives to gather insights and feedback directly from those affected. We have specific processes in place to remediate negative impacts, ensuring that any negative impact is promptly addressed and resolved. We take action on material impacts by identifying and mitigating material risks and pursuing opportunities, assessing the severity, scale, and scope of the impact to determine the appropriate response. We set targets related to managing material negative impacts, advancing positive impacts, and managing material risks and opportunities, which help us measure the effectiveness of our actions and ensure continuous improvement.

To mitigate material risks arising from impacts and dependencies on our workforce, we focus on talent development, diversity and inclusion, employee well-being, technology and automation, and succession planning. Ongoing monitoring with managers and team heads, as well as annual evaluations and surveys, help us track performance and well-being, diversity and inclusion targets, and the impacts of technology and automation projects. We plan to continue rolling out targeted training programs and career development paths for employees at all levels, structure leadership development to foster the next generation of company leaders, sharpen recruitment efforts to reach a broader target group, and conduct workshops and sessions on the importance of diversity and inclusion. Our wellness programs include mental health support, fitness, and health screenings, and we foster a flexible work environment that supports work-life balance. We invest in digital tools and platforms to enhance collaboration and efficiency and identify repetitive tasks that can be automated, freeing up employees for more strategic work.

CapMan's Code of Conduct and Supplier Code of Conduct outline our commitments to human rights, labor rights, environmental management, and business ethics, ensuring that our practices are aligned with our values and do not cause or contribute to negative impacts. We conduct annual employee surveys to gather feedback on workplace well-being, culture, and other relevant topics, using the results to identify areas for improvement and ensure alignment with employee needs and expectations. In connection with our strategy and budget planning process, funds and resources are allocated for actions in the coming years, including HR systems and functionalities, learning and development programs, DEI actions, and updated survey tools for better data management and follow-ups.

We continuously cooperate with our workforce and employee representatives on matters related to the work environment, job satisfaction, and well-being, actively monitoring absence and overtime to proactively support the workforce. We review and update our internal policies to align with changing surroundings and legal requirements, increasing transparency where applicable. Targeted training ensures proper upskilling and understanding of compliance, while our DEI working group, HR, management, and

the Board drive progress within the DEI area. Regular health check-ups, annual flu vaccines, and wellness programs, along with occupational health care insurances, help maintain workforce health.

CapMan offers programs and incentives to enhance positive material impacts, including employee health, well-being, family leave policies, ergonomic checks, and social events. Employee surveys on satisfaction, workload, leadership, and ICT ensure the workforce has the necessary systems and tools, while the Legal & Compliance organisation surveys workforce understanding of policies and training needs. In 2024 our eNPS score was 49 and our Inclusion Index at 85, indicating high employee satisfaction and engagement. We aim to continuously improve our actions towards the workforce, with strategic initiatives for 2025-2026 focusing on workforce development, career path clarification, DEI understanding, and better systems and tools for efficient work and data management.

CapMan implements its social responsibility through the two foundations it administers. The CapMan for Good foundation shares the know-how and energy of CapMan's employees and networks to society through, among other things, mentoring. The Tukikummit foundation, on the other hand, wants to ensure that every young person has the opportunity to enjoy hobbies and to be part of a social context. By distributing grants to cover costs for hobbies, supporting studies, shared family experiences, travel expenses and providing monetary support for single-parent families, the foundation supports young people who are at risk of becoming marginalised due to their financial situation. During 2024, Tukikummit raised 300,000 euros for work to prevent marginalisation and distributed grants for 400,000 euros. One of the main campaigns in 2024 that CapMan's employees took part in was the "Steps4Tukikummit", fostering physical activity during the working day and contributing to funds for Tukikummit. In total, Tukikummit has distributed 7 million euros and given grants for more than 20,000 children and young people in Finland since 2007.

Health lectures, breakfast meetings, and other inspirational sessions will further support physical activity and well-being. Workers and their representatives play a role in decisions regarding the design and implementation of programs aimed at delivering positive impacts, with Occupational Safety and Health committees and DEI working groups meeting regularly to discuss and plan actions promoting employee well-being and a safe, inclusive workplace.

CapMan's internal functions involved in managing impacts include Human Resources, Legal and Compliance, Sustainability, and Information Technology. Actions taken include annual employee engagement processes, onboarding of new staff, recurring manager forums, IT training, Occupational Safety and Health Committee meetings, and DEI working group initiatives. These efforts ensure a safe work environment, a healthy workforce, and address any concerns raised by employees.

S1-5 Targets related to managing material negative impacts, advancing positive impacts, and managing material risks and opportunities

CapMan's targets are part of its sustainability strategy roadmap, aiming to manage material negative impacts, advance positive impacts, and address material risks and opportunities. The defined target levels include achieving an eNPS above 50, increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) across CapMan by implementing a DEI working group, attaining an inclusion index score above 70, ensuring diversity among decision-makers with a maximum of 70% representation of any gender in new appointments to management teams, and promoting diversity among recruitments by applying the Rooney Rule in the gender split of top candidates. These targets are measured in absolute numerical values and cover employee satisfaction, perception of inclusion within the workforce, and new recruits.

The baseline values against which progress is measured include an eNPS of 58 and 43% of management team members being women, with the base year for measurement being 2022. The DEI working group was established in 2023, and the targets are monitored and reviewed annually. The eNPS is measured by asking employees to rate the likelihood of recommending CapMan on a scale of 0 to 10, with the score calculated by subtracting detractors from promoters. The inclusion index measures employee perceptions of uniqueness and belongingness, with the score based on the percentage of favourable results. The Rooney Rule aims to increase the number of minority gender candidates interviewed for permanent positions.

Performance against these targets is monitored through annual employee surveys, with further actions planned based on the results. The DEI working group, composed of members across teams, functions, seniorities, and geographic locations, provides practical guidelines and recommendations to management in biannual workshops. The group is sponsored by the Audit and Risk Committee Chair of CapMan's Board of Directors, with the goal of continuously increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion across CapMan, especially at the decision-making level. The inclusion index score is also measured annually, with actions taken based on the results. The gender split of top candidates is evaluated in each recruitment process, with a mid-term target of achieving a minimum 60%/40% gender split in management teams.

CapMan engages closely with its workforce and their representatives in setting targets, conducting an annual employee survey that includes elements such as eNPS, inclusion, belonging, and other topical themes like health and wellbeing. In Finland, the Occupational Safety and Health Committee, comprising employee and employer representatives, meets regularly to discuss various workforce-related topics. Employee representatives are elected for a term of two calendar years at a time. In smaller offices, the appointed country head regularly meets with staff to discuss topical issues. The CapMan Group-wide DEI Working Group, sponsored by a CapMan Board member, meets bi-monthly to address DEI topics and drive change. Internal targets, such as the Rooney Rule for recruitment, are tracked by the HR team.

While the workforce or their representatives are not directly engaged in tracking performance against targets, they are involved in identifying lessons or improvements resulting from the company's performance. The DEI Working Group has identified improvement areas related to recruitments, and the Occupational Safety and Health Committee focuses on actions such as early intervention training, first aid, office environment, and occupational health care.

The intended outcomes for CapMan's employees include working in a sustainable, inclusive, and vibrant environment where they feel engaged and a sense of belonging, and where they feel a purpose in contributing towards a better Nordic society. These high-level items are incorporated into CapMan's Corporate People Policy, which is supported by applicable policies and good cooperation with employees and their representatives.

S1-6 Characteristics of the undertaking's employees

CapMan's employee data is derived from the master HR system, which includes metrics such as headcount for both permanent and temporary (fixed-term) employees. The employee data is managed centrally and complies with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) guidelines. Employee data are reported as headcount, and the reporting period is 31 December 2024. Data related to disabilities and "at risk" categories are not available as CapMan does not collect such personal information. The total number of employees represented in the report includes all employees with an employment relationship with CapMan, both permanent and fixed-term. In the reporting period, CapMan had 193 permanent employees and 10 fixed-term employees, with an annual turnover of 11%. The definition "other" in gender break down tables are currently empty as CapMan does not currently have that definition in place in its master HR system. The option may be added later, pending a review of what information it may collect in the different countries of operations. The definition "other" in country break down, includes Denmark, Luxembourg, Norway and the United Kingdome. These locations employ less than 10% of CapMan's workforce and thus combined under "other".

S1-7 Characteristics of non-employee workers in the undertaking's own workforce

CapMan's workforce includes 12 non-employees, all of whom are self-employed individuals. There are no non-employees provided by undertakings primarily engaged in employment activities. The information for non-employees, such as consultants, is maintained in CapMan's master HR system.

Non-employees at CapMan are referred to as consultants and are categorised into two types: Service Consultants and Investment Consultants. Service Consultants perform interim, project, or service-related work for CapMan Plc, often related to ad-hoc tasks or new product or service launches that require additional resources or expertise. Their work is guided by an appointed CapMan employee or manager. Investment Consultants, on the other hand, act as advisors or network ambassadors in jurisdictions outside of CapMan's footprint. They provide support and advice with their extensive local knowledge and networks of investors, and their work is guided by the Managing Partner of an Investment Team or other relevant Partners.

The consultancy information is managed within CapMan's Legal and HR teams. The Legal team handles the contracts, which are entered into as business-to-business (B2B) agreements and are not deemed employment relationships. The HR team tracks the necessary information in the master HR system for control purposes. Consultancy agreements are typically made through third-party companies. Service Consultants perform work related to interim, project, or service needs, while Investment Consultants provide advisory services and support in specific areas or locations where their input is needed. This structured approach ensures that CapMan effectively manages and utilises the expertise of non-employee workers within its workforce.

S1-9 Diversity metrics

CapMan Plc's workforce is diverse across various age groups. The company has 37 employees under 30 years old, representing 18% of the total workforce. There are 134 employees between the ages of 30 and 50, making up 66% of the workforce. Additionally, there are 32 employees over 50 years old, accounting for 16% of the total workforce. This diverse age distribution reflects CapMan's commitment to fostering an inclusive and varied work environment. CapMan Plc defines its top management as consisting of the CEO, CFO, COO, Head of Fund Investor Relations, Head of Sustainability, and Managing Partners of Investment Teams.

S1-11 Social protection

CapMan ensures that all employees and non-employees in its workforce are covered by social protection through public programs or benefits offered by the company. This coverage includes protection against loss of income due to sickness, unemployment, employment injury, acquired disability, parental leave, and retirement. CapMan does not operate in countries where social protection through public programs or related benefits is not available. Therefore, all employees are guaranteed social protection in the countries where CapMan operates. This commitment to social protection underscores CapMan's dedication to the well-being and security of its employees, ensuring they are supported in various circumstances that may affect their income.

S1-16 Remuneration metrics (pay gap and total remuneration)

CapMan is a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) organisation, comprising 123 investment professionals and 80 service professionals. The majority of CapMan's workforce is based in Finland (73%), with the remainder located in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, the UK, and Luxembourg. Salaries differ between these locations, with Finland generally having lower average salaries compared to the rest.

Based on Eurostat's gender pay gap analysis from 2022, CapMan's pay gap aligns with the financial industry in the countries where it operates. CapMan maintains a transparent remuneration policy that highlights base salary, variable components, and benefits. Compensation is tied to seniority and roles, ensuring fairness and justice. The gender split within the organisation is 40% women and 60% men, with the investment professional and partner groups being male-dominated, which affects the overall pay gap. Within the investment professional groups, variable pay (STI) is higher compared to service professionals, where women represent 65%.

The methodology used for calculating the pay gap includes employees in permanent positions, excluding the CEO and Partners (79,3% of the staff is used as sample) and considers the role-specific STI bonus maximum potential. The reasoning for using STI bonus maximal potential instead of actual payout is that each team has a specific bonus target linked to their financial performance, and actualised bonuses tend to fluctuate year over year. Remuneration in currencies other than Euro has been converted to Euro for comparison purposes. The ratio of highest-paid to median employee compensation is 4.3.

GOV-1 The role of the administrative, management and supervisory bodies

CapMan's governance model consists of the General Meeting of shareholders, the Board of Directors, and the CEO. In the operative management of the company, the CEO is supported by the management group. Under the Finnish Companies Act and CapMan's Articles of Association, the Board is responsible for the administration of the company and the proper organisation of its operations. The Board is also responsible for the appropriate arrangement of the controls of the company's accounts and finances. One of the Board's key tasks is to approve and monitor the progress of the strategic goals, including linking those to sustainability targets.

The CEO manages and supervises the company's business operations according to the Finnish Companies Act and in compliance with the instructions and authorizations issued by the Board. The CEO ensures that the accounts of the company are in compliance with the law and that its financial affairs have been arranged in a reliable manner. Generally, the CEO is independently responsible for the operational activities of the company and for day-to-day decisions on business activities and the implementation of these decisions.

The Board and the CEO are responsible for internal control and risk management, but internal control is conducted on all levels of the organisation, in all business and support functions. Each employee is individually responsible for the compliance of policies and instructions and for reporting faults and malpractice to their supervisor or other designated persons. The aim of CapMan's internal control and risk management is to ensure that the company's operations are efficient, appropriate, reliable, and in compliance with regulations, and that risks associated with the company's business and objectives are

identified and appropriately monitored and managed. The group's internal control system is an essential part of the group's management system and consists of an organisation structure, policies, processes, working instructions, allocation of tasks and responsibilities, approval authorizations, manual and automated controls, monitoring reports, and reviews.

The expertise of the Board and the CEO on business conduct matters is described in CapMan's Corporate Governance Statement.

G1-1 Business conduct policies and corporate culture

CapMan's corporate culture is defined by how we work as an organisation. It encompasses how we recruit, retain, and reward our employees, as well as the systems and processes we have in place. This culture is further enhanced by our corporate brand identity, which was co-created through in-depth interviews with top management, key business stakeholders, and focus groups consisting of employees. CapMan conducts an annual employee survey to assess questions related to culture, measuring eNPS and Inclusion (uniqueness and belonging) internally on an annual basis. Post-survey presentations and workshops are conducted to solicit additional input, and plan further actions relevant to specific teams. Our performance management process, including target setting and employee discussions, acts as a follow-up to ensure our employees focus on the most relevant items, understand their role, responsibility, and accountability. Social events to increase connection across the organisation are arranged regularly, including a group-wide annual event, featuring stimulating workshops, lectures, and awards ceremonies.

Policies related to business conduct are outlined in our Code of Conduct and our Anti-Bribery and Corruption policy. Mechanisms for identifying, reporting, and investigating concerns about unlawful behavior or behavior in contradiction of our code of conduct or similar internal rules accommodate reporting from both internal and external stakeholders. These mechanisms include the Code of Conduct, other internal policies and controls, incident reporting, and the whistleblowing channel. Notifications can be made anonymously, and retaliation measures are forbidden, as described in the whistleblowing policy. CapMan is committed to investigating business conduct incidents promptly, independently, and objectively. We have plans to implement policies on anti-corruption or anti-bribery consistent with the United Nations Convention against Corruption, although a timetable for implementation has not been supplied. We have a whistleblowing policy and channel in place, therefore implementation of policies on protection of whistle-blowers are already in place. We comply with regulatory protection of whistle-blowers, and our policy contains a description of protection and how reports are handled.

Annual code of conduct training is mandatory for all employees, with additional training for new employees upon joining CapMan. However, functions most at risk in respect of corruption and bribery have not been identified. CapMan is subject to legal requirements regarding the protection of whistleblowers. While we have not adopted specific policies in relation to business conduct matters, we do have anti-corruption and anti-bribery policies, as well as a whistleblower policy in place. Policies with respect to animal welfare are not in place.

G1-2 Management of relationships with suppliers

CapMan's approach to managing relationships with suppliers is outlined in its Supplier Code of Conduct. This code describes the company's approach to supplier relationships, taking into account risks related to the supply chain and impacts on sustainability matters. However, social and environmental criteria are not taken into account for the selection of supply-side contractual partners, and there is no supplier assessment on environmental or social practices.

The Supplier Code of Conduct is added to all supplier agreements with an annual value exceeding 15,000 euros. CapMan expects its suppliers to fully embrace the basic principles and ethical standards of business behaviour set forth in this Supplier Code throughout their own operations and supply chains. If a supplier is unable to accept CapMan's Supplier Code, CapMan cannot continue the business relationship with that supplier.

CapMan has implemented various electronic purchase invoice processing systems across most of its group companies to prevent late payments, especially to SMEs. These systems send automatic reminders for any unprocessed invoices, ensuring timely processing. All invoice processors are required to set a substitute during their absence, and local accountants along with CapMan Group Finance & Accounting regularly monitor overdue and unpaid invoices. They remind individuals or assign substitutes to invoice processors on a case-by-case basis when necessary. This policy applies to all purchase invoices, and there is no separate policy specifically addressed to invoices issued by SMEs.

G1-3 Prevention and detection of corruption and bribery

CapMan's Code of Conduct establishes the basic principles governing our decision-making and actions, as well as the responsibilities of CapMan employees in the business environment. This Code serves as a guiding tool, ensuring that we operate not only in compliance with laws and regulations but also based on what we believe is ethically right. More specific principles and practical guidelines are presented in various corporate policies and procedures, and employees are trained regularly to uphold these standards.

To prevent, detect, and address allegations or incidents of corruption or bribery, CapMan has implemented an Anti-Bribery and Corruption (ABC) policy and provides ABC training to employees. The investigators or investigating committee responsible for handling these matters are separate from the chain of management involved in the prevention and detection of corruption or bribery, ensuring independence and objectivity. The compliance function is responsible for ABC matters, as well as the investigation and reporting processes, which are conducted on a case-by-case basis.

The ABC policy is accessible to all CapMan personnel on the Intranet, and regular online ABC training, including a questionnaire, must be completed every two years. This training is also mandatory for all new employees. The nature, scope, and depth of the anti-corruption or anti-bribery training programs are outlined in the internal ABC policy. The same training is provided to all personnel, including members of the Board and the CEO.

CapMan is committed to continuously improving its training activities, and a new tool equipped to monitor the conducted trainings is being implemented. This will enhance the analysis of training activities by region or category. There have been no convictions for violations of anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, reflecting the effectiveness of the measures in place.

G1-4 Incidents of corruption or bribery

CapMan has taken actions to address breaches in procedures and standards related to anti-corruption and anti-bribery. There have only been minor breaches against internal procedures, which have been addressed through incident reporting, corrections to processes, and additional ABC trainings. There have been no confirmed incidents of corruption or bribery. Consequently, there have been no instances where CapMan's own workers were dismissed or disciplined for corruption or bribery-related incidents. Similarly, there have been no confirmed incidents relating to contracts with business partners that were terminated or not renewed due to violations related to corruption or bribery. There have been no public legal cases regarding corruption or bribery brought against CapMan or its workers, and thus no outcomes to report. There have been no incidents of corruption reported, and no fines have been imposed for violations of anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws.

G1-5 Political influence and lobbying activities

The CapMan Plc Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing political influence and lobbying activities within the organisation. According to CapMan's Anti-Bribery and Corruption (ABC) policy, the company does not make political contributions to political parties, party officials, or candidates unless such contributions are approved in advance by the CapMan Plc Board of Directors. This policy ensures

that any financial or in-kind political contributions are made transparently and with proper oversight. Additionally, charitable donations must not be made to improperly influence the recipient or in exchange for any business or other commercial advantage. Charitable donations and sponsoring cannot be used to circumvent the prohibition on corruption or bribes.

CapMan engages with policy-makers on relevant general interest topics as an active and responsible member of society. The company transparently discloses any lobbying activities and is a member of relevant industry organisations. Through these memberships, CapMan may lobby on topics that are important to the private equity industry as a whole. However, CapMan is not registered in the EU Transparency Register or any equivalent transparency register in a Member State.

There have been no reported cases of members of CapMan's Board and the CEO holding comparable positions in public administration in the two years preceding their appointment. The amount paid for membership to lobbying associations from January to December 2024 was 129,647 EUR. CapMan is not legally obliged to be a member of a chamber of commerce or any other organisation that represents its interests.
