Establishment of the program
The board of directors of Railcare Group proposes that the general meeting resolves to establish a long-term incentive program – Incentive Program 2026, in accordance with the principal terms and guidelines set out below.
Purpose
Railcare currently lacks a share-based incentive program. In light of this, the board of directors, in consultation with legal advisors and major shareholders, has prepared the present proposal for an incentive program (the “Incentive Program” or ”LTIP 2026”), which is intended to cover employees of the Railcare group, and is based on newly issued shares, employee options consisting of one matching share right and one performance share right each.
Description
LTIP 2026 is proposed to be directed to employees within the Railcare group, in total approximately 207 participants (”the Participants”). It is proposed that the program, which entails a requirement for own investment, shall consist of a combination of performance shares and matching shares. According to the proposal, LTIP 2026 may, if fully subscribed, comprise the issuance of a maximum of 1,004,896 shares, consisting of 314,067 newly issued shares and 314,067 employee options consisting of 690,829 warrants
Investment requirement
In order to participate in LTIP 2026, the Participants are required to invest in Railcare shares in the directed issue of shares within the framework of LTIP 2026 and enter into an agreement in respect thereof. If the Participant, at the time of subscription to LTIP 2026, is prevented from acquiring Railcare shares under market abuse regulations or other applicable rules, shares shall instead be acquired on the market and allocated to the Incentive Program, as soon as such restrictions no longer apply, but no later than 30 September 2026. The Participant shall notify the board of directors of such interest, stating the number of shares that the Participant intends to acquire on the market and allocate to the Incentive Program. Shares acquired as set out above are collectively referred to as ”Investment Share”.
Performance Share Rights and Matching Share Rights
Under LTIP 2026, each Investment Share entitles the holder to one (1) employee option (”Employee Option”) consisting of two (2) share rights free of charge. The share rights are divided into performance share rights and matching share rights (“Performance Share Rights” and ”Matching Share Rights”, collectively ”Share Rights”) which may be exercised after the expiry of a vesting period of three and a half (3,5) years (the “Vesting Period”). Each Matching Share Right entitles the holder to subscribe for 1 Railcare share each, while each Performance Share Right entitles the holder to subscribe for 1.2 Railcare shares each (rounded down).
Allocation based on Share Rights will take place as soon as practically possible after the Company has compiled the total subscription status.
In order to align the interests of the Participants with those of the shareholders, Railcare will compensate for extraordinary dividends and other value transfers to shareholders during the Vesting Period by increasing the number of shares to which each Share Right entitles. The number of Railcare shares to which each Share Right entitles may be recalculated due to, inter alia, bonus issues, extraordinary dividends, consolidation or split of shares, new issues, reduction of share capital or similar measures. Transfer of shares may be accelerated as a result of mergers or similar measures.
Categories and performance conditions
The Performance Share Rights and the allocation of shares based thereon are conditional upon whether the performance conditions set out below are fulfilled during the Vesting Period, 1 June 2026 – 31 December 2029, whereby it is determined whether the Performance Share Rights entitle the Participants to subscribe for Railcare shares at the end of the Vesting Period.
The Performance Share Rights entitle the holder to subscribe for Railcare shares provided that the Participant remains in his or her employment or assignment within the Railcare group, that the Participant has retained all Investment Shares and that the Company has achieved the operational targets set by the Company regarding operating profit per share.
The Matching Share Rights entitle the holder to subscribe for Railcare shares provided that the Participant remains in his or her employment or assignment within the Railcare group and has retained all Investment Shares.
LTIP 2026 is divided into three tranches as follows:
Each Participant is allocated Investment Shares in accordance with the distribution in the respective tranche. However, Participants may choose to subscribe for a lower number of shares. Participants are entitled to subscribe for additional shares within their tranche to the extent that other Participants within the tranche do not wish to subscribe in full. Decisions on allocation are made by the board of directors, which shall strive for an equal allocation among the Participants. If an equal allocation cannot be achieved, the following criteria shall be taken into account;
To the extent a Participant has notified their participation as set out above but is prevented from subscribing for shares in the issue, the board of directors shall be prevented from allocating the number of shares that the Participant has notified. The Participant shall be entitled to the number of shares that the Participant would have been allocated in the issue.
Additional personnel
Additional personnel who have joined after the directed issue of shares has been completed shall be offered the opportunity to participate in LTIP 2026 by acquiring shares on the market and allocating these to the program. For participation in the program, the other terms of the resolution shall apply.
Exercise of Share Rights
Provided that the above performance conditions have been achieved during the Vesting Period and that the Participant has remained in his or her employment (unless special circumstances exist) and has retained his or her Investment Shares until the exercise period, the exercise of the Share Rights shall take place during a two-week period following the publication of the Company’s year-end report for 2029, but no earlier than 15 January 2030 and no later than 29 June 2030.
When assessing the final outcome of the vesting of Share Rights, the board of directors shall, in special cases having regard to the Company’s financial position, examine whether the level of allocation of shares is reasonable in relation to Railcare’s financial results and position, conditions on the stock market and otherwise, and if the board of directors considers that this is not the case, reduce the allocation to a lower level that the board of directors considers appropriate.
Costs, dilution and effect on key ratios
The program entails, based on a reasonable assumption, costs for the Company of approximately SEK 2.15 million/year for four years. However, the exact costs depend on the Company’s development during the period.
Hedging measures
The board of directors has chosen to deliver Investment Shares through a directed issue of shares to the Participants. In order to secure the delivery of the Employee Options, consisting of the Performance Share Rights and the Matching Share Rights, the board of directors proposes a directed issue of warrants to the Company with the right and obligation to transfer the warrants to the Participants within the framework of the Incentive Program.
Preparation of the proposal
The proposal has been prepared by the Company’s board of directors together and in consultation with external advisors and following consultation with shareholders. It is specifically noted that Mattias Remahl has neither participated in the preparation of the proposal nor the resolution. The board of directors has thereafter resolved to present this proposal for resolution at the annual general meeting on 7 May 2026.
Majority requirements
In order for the resolution to be in accordance with good practice and compatible with law, the support of shareholders representing at least nine-tenths of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting is required.
Directed issue of shares in connection with LTIP 2026
The board of directors proposes that the Company, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, shall issue a total of no more than 314,067 shares, as a result of which the Company’s share capital may increase by a maximum of SEK 128,767.47.
The following terms shall otherwise apply to the issue:
Other information:
In order to ensure a market-based subscription price, the board of directors has resolved that no discount shall apply in the issue. In addition, the board of directors has chosen a short reference period in order to reduce the risk that the subscription price is affected by price fluctuations. Furthermore, the subscription period for the issue has, in order to be as close to the market value as possible, been set directly after the reference period ends. The board of directors thus considers that the subscription price will be on market terms.
Resolution on issue of warrants series 2026/2029 to secure delivery of shares within the framework of LTIP 2026
Through a directed issue, the Company shall issue a maximum of 690,829 warrants of series 2026/2029, each entitling the holder to subscribe for one (1) new share. In the event that all warrants of series 2026/2029 are exercised, the share capital may increase by a maximum of 283,239.89 SEK.
The following terms shall otherwise apply to the issue:
The board of directors’ reasons for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights:
The reasons for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights are to secure the future delivery of shares for Participants who have received Employee Options within the framework of the Company’s long-term incentive program.
NUMBER OF SHARES AND VOTES
The number of outstanding shares and votes in the Company amounts to 24,124,167 at the time of this notice. The Company holds no own shares.
