• Item 15 – The Nomination Committee proposes that, for the period until the end of the next

The voting list proposed to be approved is the voting list prepared by Euroclear Sweden AB on behalf of the Company, based on the Annual General Meeting's register of shareholders, postal votes received and shareholders having given notice of participation and being present at the meeting venue.
The Board of Directors proposes that a dividend of SEK 2.00 per share in total is distributed to the shareholders.
It is proposed that the dividend is distributed to the shareholders in four instalments of SEK 0.50 each per share. The proposed record dates are Friday, 11 April, 2025, Thursday, 31 July, 2025, Thursday, 30 October, 2025, and Friday, 6 February, 2026. If the Annual General Meeting resolves in accordance with the proposal, it is estimated that Euroclear Sweden AB will execute the payments on Wednesday, 16 April, 2025, Tuesday, 5 August, 2025, Tuesday, 4 November, 2025, and Wednesday, 11 February, 2026, respectively.
The Board of Directors has presented a motivated statement pursuant to Chapter 18, Section 4 of the Swedish Companies Act. The statement is available at the Company and on the Company's website www.teliacompany.com.
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to authorize the Board of Directors to resolve on repurchase of own shares on the main terms and conditions set out below.
The Board of Directors further proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to authorize the Board of Directors to resolve on transfer of own shares, with or without deviation from the shareholders' preferential

rights, on the main terms and conditions set out below.
The purpose of the authorizations to repurchase and transfer own shares, and the reason for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights (in relation to transfer of own shares), is to enable the Company in a time efficient way to use own shares as payment in connection with acquisitions of companies or businesses which the Company may undertake, or to settle any deferred payments related to such acquisitions, or for financing such acquisitions or deferred payments.
The purpose of the authorization to repurchase own shares is also to provide the Board of Directors with an instrument to adapt and improve the Company's capital structure and thereby create added value for the shareholders, and/or to give a possibility to the Company to transfer own shares to the participants in the Company's long-term share incentive programs. Please note that any transfer of repurchased shares to the participants in long-term share incentive programs requires a separate resolution by the General Meeting.
The Board of Directors shall have the right to decide on the other terms and conditions for the repurchase and transfer of own shares. The Board of Directors shall also have the right to authorize the Chair of the Board of Directors to make any minor adjustments that may prove necessary to carry out the Board of Directors' resolution to repurchase and transfer the Company's own shares.
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to implement a long-term share incentive program for selected key employees within the Telia Company Group not including members of the Group Executive Management (the "Performance Share Program 2025/2028"). The Board of Directors is convinced that the Performance Share Program 2025/2028 will be beneficial to the Company's shareholders as it will contribute to the possibilities to recruit and retain talented key employees, drive long-term company performance, align key employees' interests with those of the shareholders and encourage key employee shareholding.
The Performance Share Program 2025/2028 relates to the financial years 2025–2027 and entails that Telia Company shares may be received after the publication of the interim report for the first quarter 2028.
Participation in the Performance Share Program 2025/2028 shall be offered to approximately 250 key employees within the Group. Provided that the terms and conditions of the Performance Share Program 2025/2028 are met, and to the extent the performance conditions for the program related to Cashflow (Free

Cashflow), TSR (Total Shareholder Return), ROCE (Return on Capital Employed) and ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) are fulfilled during the financial years 2025–2027 (the "Performance Period"), participants in the Performance Share Program 2025/2028 will, free of charge, receive Telia Company shares ("Performance Shares") after the publication of the interim report for the first quarter 2028.
Participants in the Performance Share Program 2025/2028 will receive a conditional right to be allotted Performance Shares, which is a right to receive a specific number of such shares at a future date provided that the relevant conditions are met. The maximum number of Performance Shares that can be subject to allotment has decreased from 4,827,332 in the performance share program adopted by the Annual General Meeting 2024 to 4,428,993 in the Performance Share Program 2025/2028. Under the Performance Share Program 2025/2028, the number of Performance Shares that can be subject to allotment may not, at the time of receipt of the conditional right, have an aggregate market value exceeding 30 percent of the participant's annual gross base salary (i.e. before taxes) per year-end 2024 or, if a participant has become employed thereafter, the calculated annual gross base salary for 2025 (the "2024 Base Salary"). Further, the maximum aggregate market value of the Performance Shares that can be subject to allotment following the end of the Performance Period (i.e. at vesting when the participant becomes entitled to receive their shares) shall not exceed 60 percent of the participant's annual gross base salary (i.e. before taxes) per year-end 2027 (the "2027 Base Salary").
The participants will receive their Performance Shares following the publication of the interim report for the first quarter 2028, and allotment is, with certain exceptions, subject to continued employment within the Group up to and including the day of publication of the interim report for the first quarter 2028.
The Performance Share Program 2025/2028 shall in total comprise no more than 4,428,993 Telia Company shares, corresponding to approximately 0.11 percent of the total number of outstanding shares in the Company.
The Board of Directors' complete proposal is set out in item 21(a) below.
The participants' conditional rights to receive Performance Shares under the Performance Share Program 2025/2028 are not securities and cannot be pledged or transferred. Neither are any shareholders' rights transferred to participants in the program prior to the day when they receive their Performance Shares and thus become the owners of such shares. An estimated market value of the conditional rights to receive Performance Shares can however be calculated. The Board of Directors has calculated the total value of the rights to receive Performance Shares under the Performance Share Program 2025/2028 as approximately SEK 81.9 million, under the following essential assumptions: (i) a share price of SEK 30.82, calculated as the average of the daily noted volume-weighted price of the Company's share on Nasdaq Stockholm during December 2024, (ii) an annual employee turnover of five percent, (iii) a share price increase of five percent per year, (iv) a 50 percent achievement of the TSR performance condition, (v) a 100 percent achievement of the ROCE performance condition, (vi) a 50 percent achievement of the Cashflow performance condition and (vii) a 50 percent achievement of the ESG performance condition. The total cost of the Performance Share Program 2025/2028 under these assumptions would be SEK 104.0 million assuming a 27 percent mark-up for social security costs. The costs are accounted for as staff costs (share-based benefits) over the Performance Period.
If the Cashflow performance condition is achieved to 100 percent whilst the other assumptions above remain unchanged, the total value of the Performance Share Program 2025/2028 is estimated at approximately SEK 99.0 million. The total cost of the Performance Share Program 2025/2028 would in this case be SEK 125.7 million.

If all performance conditions are achieved to 100 percent, the total value of the Performance Share Program 2025/2028 would amount to SEK 136.5 million assuming conditions (i) through (iii) above remain unchanged. The total costs of the Performance Share Program 2025/2028 would in this case amount to SEK 173.4 million.
The Performance Share Program 2025/2028 will not entail any dilution effect, as the program is proposed to be hedged by either treasury shares or a hedging arrangement with a bank or another financial institution using shares already issued.
The costs for the Performance Share Program 2025/2028 are expected to have a marginal effect on the Group's key ratios.
The proposal regarding the Performance Share Program 2025/2028 to the Annual General Meeting has been prepared by the Company's Remuneration Committee and the Board of Directors has resolved to present this proposal to the Annual General Meeting.
The Board of Directors has considered two alternative hedging structures for the Performance Share Program 2025/2028: either (i) transfer of own shares to the participants or (ii) a hedging arrangement with a bank or other financial institution securing delivery of shares under the program. The Board of Directors considers the first alternative as its preferred option. However, should the Annual General Meeting not approve the proposed transfer of own shares to participants in the program, in accordance with item 21(b) below, the Board of Directors may enter into a hedging arrangement with a third party to hedge the obligations of the Company to deliver Performance Shares under the program.
Since the social security costs are not expected to be significant in comparison with the Company's operating cash flow, such costs are intended to be financed by cash and bank holdings.
The Company's other incentive programs will be described in the Company's annual and sustainability report 2024, note C32.
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves (i) to implement the Performance Share Program 2025/2028 comprising no more than 4,428,993 Performance Shares, and on the further main terms and conditions set out under item 21(a) below, and (ii) to transfer own shares to participants in the program, and to subsidiaries within the Group to secure their obligations to deliver Performance Shares under the program, in accordance with item 21(b) below.

market value shall be calculated based on the average of the daily noted volume-weighted price of Telia Company's share on Nasdaq Stockholm during December 2024.


things, to offer cash settlement.
Should the Annual General Meeting not approve the proposed transfer of own shares to participants in the Performance Share Program 2025/2028 in accordance with item 21(b) below, the Board of Directors shall be entitled to enter into a hedging arrangement with a third party to hedge the obligations of the Company to deliver Performance Shares under the program.
The performance outcome will be determined by the Board of Directors in 2028 after the expiry of the Performance Period on December 31, 2027. In connection therewith the Board of Directors will also publish the performance outcome.
Transfer of own shares to participants in the Performance Share Program 2025/2028, and to subsidiaries within the Group to secure their obligations to deliver Performance Shares under the program, may be made on the following terms and conditions.
The reason for the proposed deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is because the transfer of own shares is an integral part of the implementation of the Performance Share Program 2025/2028 and the Board of Directors considers that the implementation of the Performance Share Program 2025/2028 will be to the advantage of the Company and the shareholders as it will contribute to the possibilities to recruit and retain talented key employees, drive long-term company performance, align key employees' interests with those of the shareholders and encourage key employee shareholding.
Shareholder proposal from Carl Axel Bruno:
"I hereby request that the General Meeting resolves that Telia Company should cease to deliver SIM cards

with SMS functionality for retail customers' routers, as this is not a feature that retail customers expect to be able to use.
This SMS functionality only poses a security risk, as retail customers exclusively use their routers for internet access and would never send SMS from their routers."
Shareholder proposal from Carl Axel Bruno:
"With regard to Telia's advertisement that there is mobile coverage in space, it is requested that the General Meeting resolves to remove the advertisement and that Telia should replace its advertising agency."
The total number of shares and votes in the Company amounts to 3,932,109,286 at the date this notice is issued.
At the request of any shareholder, the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer shall provide information on any circumstances that (i) may affect the assessment of a matter on the agenda, (ii) may affect the assessment of the Company's or a subsidiary's financial situation or (iii) concerns the Company's relation to another Group company, provided that the Board of Directors believes it would not be of significant detriment to the Company.
Valid resolutions to authorize the Board of Directors to decide on repurchase and transfer of own shares under item 20 require support by shareholders holding at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and shares represented at the Annual General Meeting.
The resolution to transfer own shares under item 21(b) is conditional upon the Annual General Meeting resolving on the implementation of a long-term share incentive program 2025/2028 in accordance with the Board of Directors' proposal under item 21(a).
Valid resolution to implement a long-term share incentive program under item 21(a) requires support by a simple majority of the votes cast. Valid resolution to transfer own shares under item 21(b) requires support by shareholders holding at least nine-tenths of both the votes cast and shares represented at the Annual General Meeting.
The Board of Directors' and the Nomination Committee's proposals to the Annual General Meeting are set out in this notice. Information about the proposed Board members as well as the Nomination Committee's motivated statement are available on Telia Company's website www.teliacompany.com.

[1] The cash flow measure includes the following cash flows from continuing operations: cash flow from operating activities, intangible assets and property plant and equipment acquired (cash CAPEX) and divested, dividends paid to holders of non-controlling interests and repayment of lease liabilities.
[2] TSR is equal to the overall return a shareholder would receive on his or her shareholding taking into account both share price appreciation and dividends (if any). When calculating TSR, an average TSR index number for December 2024 shall be compared with December 2027 for the Company and for the companies included in the peer group defined by the Board of Directors. The peer group presently consists of Telenor ASA, Elisa Oyj, Tele2 AB, KPN NV, Orange SA, BT Group Plc, Vodafone Group Plc, Telefonica SA, Proximus PLC and Swisscom AG.
[3] ESG is defined by three separate performance conditions based on Climate, Digital Inclusion and Privacy which have been set in line with targets in the Company's annual and sustainability report. The three performance conditions entail 5 percent weight respectively. For each performance condition, a minimum level of achievement is required for any Performance Shares to be allotted. The performance condition on Climate is based on the Company's ambition to achieve a top rating (A) in the external climate assessment CDP, which reflects deep integration of climate into company strategy and processes. Digital Inclusion is based on the Company's target on promotion of digital competences, with focus on groups who without sufficient digital skills risk falling behind or end up in vulnerable situations when society is increasingly digitized. Privacy is based on the Company's ranking position in respecting customer integrity compared to competitors.
