The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting approves the remuneration report for the financial year 2024.
The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves on a long-term performance-based incentive plan (LTIP 2025) for the CEO and executive management of Bonava and, on transfer of series B in Bonava in accordance with items A and B below. Participation in LTIP 2025 requires a personal shareholding in Bonava.
The primary reason for implementing a long-term performance-based incentive plan is to align the interests of the shareholders with the interests of the executive management to ensure maximum long-term value creation. LTIP 2025 provides a long-term group-wide focus on value growth and creation of shareholder value among the participants. The incentive plan is also considered to facilitate Bonava's recruitment and retentive management.
The incentive plan runs for three years. To participate in LTIP 2025, a personal shareholding in Bonava shares is required. Following the defined vesting period, the participants will, free of charge, be allotted shares of series B in Bonava, provided that certain conditions are fulfilled.

LTIP 2025 comprises the executive management, including the CEO. Any additional individuals who have been recruited to the executive management but have not vet commenced their employment with the Bonava group when the notification to participate in the plan shall be made, can be offered participation on the condition that their employment starts.
To participate in LTIP 2025, the participant must invest in a personal shareholding in Bonava ("Investment Shares"), which shall be allocated to LTIP 2025. The Investment Shares shall be acquired specifically for LTIP 2025, alternatively, an existing shareholding that does not constitute Investment Shares in another existing or ongoing LTIP program may be used as Investment Shares provided that the participant either meets Bonava's shareholding recommendation below or, at the discretion of the board of directors, if the participant has been prevented from acquiring Investment Shares during the investment period as a result of having inside information.
The participant can invest a maximum of one (1) months' salary (according to salary levels as of 1 January 2025) before taxes in LTIP 2025, corresponding to 8 per cent of the respective participant's annual fixed base salary. The investment can be made up to 100 per cent of the maximum investment. For the CEO, each Investment Share entitles to six performance share rights and for other members of the executive management, each Investment Share entitles to five performance share rights. Participants in Bonava's LTIP programs are recommended to, by allotment of LTIP shares and through personal investments, over time accumulate and retain shares in Bonava to such an extent that their respective shareholdings amount to a value corresponding to at least six (6) months' salary before taxes. For the CEO the recommendation is instead a shareholding corresponding to at least twelve (12) month's salary before taxes.
BONAVA
period, exceed the level stipulated in the company's dividend policy. Dividend compensation is made in respect of the shares of series B received by the participant.
Allotment of shares of series B under the performance share rights requires a certain degree of fulfilment of performance targets regarding Bonava's accumulated operating profit (EBIT) measured during 2025 according to a range determined by the board of directors ("Performance Target 1") and the total shareholder return2 on Bonava's share of series B on Nasdaq Stockholm measured during a period starting after the publication of the company's interim report for the first quarter 2025 and ending after the publication of the company's interim report for the first quarter 2028 ("Performance Target 2"), where 40 per cent of the performance share rights shall be related to the fulfilment of Performance Target 1 and 60 per cent of the performance share rights shall be related to the fulfilment of Performance Target 2. If the minimum level in the determined range is not achieved, the performance share rights will not entitle to any shares and if the maximum level in the respective range is achieved, each performance share right entitles to one share of series B in Bonava.
The board of directors shall be responsible for the formulation and administration of LTIP 2025, with respect to the determined terms and quidelines. The board of directors shall be entitled to make adjustments to fulfil specific regulations or market prerequisites in other jurisdictions. The board of directors shall also be entitled to sell shares on behalf of the participant in connection with the allotment in order to cover any tax liability arising for the participant. If there are significant changes in the Bonava group or its business environment, that would entail that the applicable terms for allotment and the possibility to exercise the performance share rights in accordance with LTIP 2025 no longer are appropriate, the board of directors shall be entitled to make other adjustments. Before finalising the number of shares of series B to be allocated under the performance share rights, the board of directors shall assess whether the outcome of LTIP 2025 is reasonable. This assessment is made in relation to Bonava's financial earnings and position, conditions on the stock market and other circumstances. If the board of directors in its assessment considers that the outcome is not reasonable, it shall reduce the number of shares to be allotted.
The maximum number of series B in Bonava which may be allotted under LTIP 2025 shall be limited to 1,241,000 shares which represents approximately 0.4 per cent of all shares and approximately 0.2 per cent of all votes in the company as of the date of the notice. The number of shares of series B included in LTIP 2025 shall, in accordance with the detailed conditions that the board of directors stipulates be subject to recalculation if Bonava carries out a bonus issue, a reversed share split or a share split, a rights issue, compensation for divided or similar corporate events, in accordance with the terms of LTIP 2025, taking into account customary practice for corresponding incentive plans.

1 Including reinvested dividends.
The board of directors has considered two alternative hedging methods for LTIP 2025; either a hedging arrangement (equity swap) with a bank for securing delivery of shares of series B under the plan or transfer of series B in Bonava to entitled participants in LTIP 2025. The board of directors considers the latter alternative to be preferable. The board of directors has therefore proposed that the annual general meeting shall resolve on transfer of shares of series B in Bonava, which are held by the company, as well as to authorise the board of directors to execute acquisition of shares of series B in Bonava (see item B below and item 19 in the agenda). The board of directors further proposes that the board of directors shall have the right to transfer and sell shares of series B in Bonava, which are held by the company, on Nasdaq Stockholm to cover costs for social security contributions under the plan. However, should the annual general meeting not approve the board of directors' proposal, the board of directors may enter into the hedging arrangement described above with a bank to secure the obligation of the company to deliver shares of series B under LTIP 2025. Such a hedging arrangement with a bank may also be used for the purpose of covering costs for social security contributions arising from LTIP 2025.
Based on the assumption of a share price of SEK 9 at the time of investment, all persons who have been offered to participate in the plan participates and that they make a maximum investment, that all participants remain in the plan until allotment and that the maximum amount of shares are issued upon payment, the estimated total cost for LTIP 2025, including estimated cost for social security contributions, is approximately SEK 18 million. The cost is equivalent to the value of approximately 0.6 per cent of Bonava's market capitalisation based on a share price of SEK 9. The annual cost of LTIP 2025, including social security contributions, is estimated to amount to approximately SEK 6 million in accordance with the conditions above which corresponds to 0.6 per cent of Bonava's total employment costs, including social security contributions for the 2024. LTIP 2025 will be accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2, meaning that the performance share rights shall be charged as employment costs and recognised during the vesting period.
The estimated annual cost for LTIP 2025 of SEK 6 million (based on the assumptions set out above) corresponds on a pro-forma basis for 2024 a negative effect on Bonava's operating margin of approximately 0.07 percentage points and a decrease of earnings per share of approximately SEK 0.02. However, the board of directors considers that the positive effects on Bonava's financial performance which are expected from the participants' commitment, lock-in effects and shareholding as well as the possibility to be allotted additional shares under the program, outweighs the costs related to LTIP 2025.
LTIP 2025 has been prepared by Bonava's board of directors and remuneration committee.
There are previously implemented share-related incentive plans in Bonava, LTIP 2022 and LTIP 2023, see note 4 in Bonava's annual report for 2024, which will be available at Bonava's website, www.bonava.com no later than 18 March 2025.

Referring to the description above, the board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves on LTIP 2025.
A resolution to introduce LTIP 2025 in accordance with the board of directors' proposal is valid when supported by shareholders representing more than half of the votes cast at the annual general meeting.
The board of directors' proposal for a resolution to transfer shares of series B in Bonava as set out below, provides that the annual general meeting first has resolved on a long-term performance-based incentive plan (LTIP 2025) in accordance with item A above.
The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to transfer shares of series B in the company in accordance with the following:
The reason for deviating from the shareholders' preferential rights is that the transfer of shares of series B is part of the execution of LTIP 2025. Therefore, the board of directors considers the transfer of shares of series B in accordance with the proposal to benefit the company.
A resolution by the general meeting under item 17 B above is valid only when supported by shareholders representing at least nine-tenths of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the general meeting.
The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves on authorisation for the board of directors to resolve on a new issue in accordance with the following.
The board of directors shall be authorised to resolve to issue new shares of series A and series B in the company, on one or several occasions, for the next annual general meeting, to the extent that such new issue can be made without amending the articles of association. An issue may be made with or without deviation from the shareholders'

preferential rights. Based on the authorisation, the board of directors may resolve to issue a number of new shares corresponding to a maximum of ten per cent of the total number of outstanding shares in the company at the time of the annual general meeting.
The board of directors shall be authorised to resolve on issue where payment is made in cash, by contribution in kind or by way of set-off. A cash issue or issue by way of set-off that takes place with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights shall be in line with market terms.
The purpose of the authorisation and the reasons for potential deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights are that new issues shall enable acquisitions of companies or operations, or part of such, alternatively to raise equity to be used for such acquisitions or to strengthen the company's financial position and/or create a larger liquidity buffer for financing commitments.
The board of directors proposes that the annual General Meeting authorises the board of directors to, on one or several occasions for the period until the next annual general meeting, acquire a maximum number of shares of series B so that the company's holding, at any time following the acquisition, does not exceed 10% of all the shares of series B in Bonava. Acquisitions shall be conducted on Nasdaq Stockholm and at a price per share of series B that is within the price range for the share price prevailing at any time (the so-called spread), i.e. the range between the highest ask price and the lowest bid price. In the event that the acquisitions are effected by a stock broker as assigned by the company, the share price mav. however, correspond to the volume weighted average price during the time period within which the shares of series B were acquired, even if the volume weighted average price on the day of delivery to Bonava falls outside the price range. Payment for the shares of series B shall be made in cash.
Furthermore, the board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting authorises the board of directors to, on one or more occasions for the period until the next annual general meeting, resolve on the transfer of own shares of series B. The number of series B transferred may not exceed the total number of shares of series B held by Bonava at any time. Transfers may be conducted on or outside Nasdaq Stockholm, including a right to resolve upon deviations from the shareholders' pre-emption right. The transfer of shares of series B on Nasdaq Stockholm shall be conducted at a price within the registered price range at the time of the transfer. The transfer of series B outside Nasdaq Stockholm shall be made at a price in cash or value in property received that corresponds to the share price at the point in time of the transfer of the Bonava shares of series B that are transferred with the deviation, if any, that the board deems appropriate in each case.
The purpose of the above authorisations regarding acquisition and transfer of own shares of series B is to enable financing of acquisitions of companies and businesses by payment with own shares of series B and to continuously be able to adjust the capital structure of Bonava and thereby create added value to the shareholders as well as to enable delivery of shares of series B and to cover costs (including costs for social security costs and payments according to synthetic shares) in connection with the implementation of Bonava's incentive plan at any time.

A resolution by the general meeting in accordance with item 18 and 19 above is valid when supported by shareholders representing at least two thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the annual general meeting.
At the day of this notice the total number of shares in the company amounts to 322,816,756 shares, of which 30,158,334 are shares of series A and 292,658,422 are shares of series B. Each share of series A represents ten (10) votes and each share of series B represents one (1) vote. The total number of votes in the company amounts to 594,241,762 votes at the day of this notice. The company owns 1,245,355 own shares of series B at the day of publication of this notice, corresponding to 1,245,355 votes, which cannot be represented at the general meeting.
The shareholders have the right to receive information from the board of directors and the CEO regarding circumstances that may affect the assessment of an item on the agenda or circumstances that may affect the assessment of the company's financial situation or circumstances regarding the company's relationship with other group companies, if the board of directors believes that such information can be provided without causing material damage to the company.
