The meeting is held as a hybrid meeting in accordance with Chapter 5, Section 16 (2) of the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act. As an alternative to participating in the General Meeting at the meeting venue, shareholders can also exercise their rights fully during the meeting remotely. Instructions for remote participation are set out in Part C of this notice to the General Meeting.
Shareholders can also exercise their voting rights by voting in advance, and it is recommended that shareholders do so. Instructions for advance voting are set out in Section C of this notice to the General Meeting.
Prior to the meeting, shareholders may also submit written questions referred to in Chapter 5, Section 25 of the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act on matters to be discussed at the meeting. Instructions on how to submit written questions are set out in Section C of this notice to the General Meeting.
A. Matters on the agenda of the Annual General Meeting
Information and proposals concerning the formal organizational matters in agenda items 1 to 5 are included in a separate organizational document published on Inderes’ website at https://group.inderes.fi/en/corporate_governance/governing_model/annual_general_meeting_2026. The document will be supplemented as needed at the meeting with such information that is not available before the Annual General Meeting.
At the Annual General Meeting, the following matters will be considered:
1. Opening of the meeting
2. Matters of order for the meeting
3. Election of the persons to scrutinize the minutes and to supervise the counting of votes
4. Recording the legality of the meeting
5. Recording the attendance at the meeting and adoption of the list of votes
6. Presentation of the financial statements, annual report and the auditor’s report for the year 2025
Review by the CEO.
The Financial Statements, the Annual Report and the Auditor’s Report are available on the Company’s website at https://group.inderes.fi/en/corporate_governance/governing_model/annual_general_meeting_2026.
7. Adoption of the Financial Statements
8. Resolution on the use of the profit shown on the Balance Sheet and the payment of dividends
The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting convening on 15 April 2026, that a dividend of EUR 0.22 per share be paid for the financial year from 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025, to shareholders registered in the Company’s shareholder register maintained by Euroclear Finland Oy on the record date, 17 April 2026. According to the proposal, the dividend will be paid on 24 April 2026. On the announcement date of the dividend proposal, 10 March 2026, the Company has 1,755,132 shares. The 21,588 shares held by the Company are included in the aforementioned number of shares. No dividend will be paid to shares held by the Company.
Additionally, the Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that the Annual General Meeting authorise the Board of Directors to decide, at its own discretion, on the distribution of a second dividend payment of up to EUR 0.50 per share. In the Board of Directors’ current view, the authorisation is intended to be used primarily for a maximum amount of EUR 0.23 per share. However, the maximum amount of the authorisation, EUR 0.50 per share, is proposed to enable the Board of Directors, if necessary, to decide on a larger second dividend instalment in a situation where the Company’s ongoing share repurchase programme is not carried out to the planned extent. The authorisation would be valid until the commencement of the Company’s next Annual General Meeting.
9. Resolution on the discharge of the members of the Board of Directors and the CEO from liability
10. Amendment of the Articles of Association
The Shareholders’ Nomination and Remuneration Committee has proposed that six (6) members be elected to the Board of Directors. According to the Company’s Articles of Association in force, the Board of Directors shall consist of at least three (3) and no more than five (5) ordinary members. To allow for the composition of the Board of Directors proposed by the Shareholders’ Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the Board proposes that Article 3 of the Articles of Association be amended to increase the maximum number of Board members by one. In the future, the Board of Directors could consist of at least three (3) and no more than six (6) ordinary members instead of the current no more than five (5) ordinary members. In its amended form, said provision of the Articles of Association would read as follows:
3 § Board of Directors
The company has a Board of Directors, consisting of at least three (3) and no more than six (6) ordinary members. The Board of Directors shall elect from among its number a Chairperson and a Vice Chairperson. The Board of Directors may make decisions in writing without convening, provided that all members of the Board of Directors agree to the decision and confirm it with their signatures. The term of office of the members of the Board of Directors shall be indefinite.
It is proposed that the Articles of Association remain unchanged in other respects.
11. Resolution on the remuneration for the members of the Board of Directors
The Shareholders’ Nomination and Remuneration Committee proposes to the Annual General Meeting that the members of the Board of Directors be paid an annual fixed fee until the end of the next Annual General Meeting, as well as a possible additional share-based remuneration, as follows:
Fixed remuneration
- The fixed annual fee for the Chairperson of the Board is EUR 36,000 (2025: EUR 36,000)
- The fixed annual fee for other Board members is EUR 18,000 (2025: EUR 18,000)
It is proposed that the annual remuneration be paid so that approximately 40% of the remuneration is paid in Company shares held by the Company or, if this is not feasible, shares acquired from the market, and the remainder is paid in cash. Shares are to be issued to Board members and, where necessary, acquired on the market directly on their behalf by the end of the financial year.
The portion of the annual remuneration paid in shares will be converted into a number of shares using the Company's volume weighted average share price for the period of February 1, 2026 – April 14, 2026.
The Committee also proposes that the travel and accommodation expenses of Board members be reimbursed based on actual costs.
Additional share bonus based on total share return
Inderes’ Nomination and Remuneration Committee proposes that in addition to the annual remuneration, the members of the Board of Directors may earn additional share bonuses based on the total shareholder return (TSR) as follows:
The maximum additional share bonus is 1,000 shares for the Chairperson of the Board and 500 shares for other members of the Board.
The amount of the additional share bonus is determined based on the total return development of Inderes Oyj's share linearly between 11% and 30%. If the total return development of the share is less than 11%, no additional share bonus will be paid. If the total return development of the share is 30% or more, the additional share bonus will be paid according to the maximum amount.
The starting level of the total return on the share is calculated using the volume weighted average price of the Company's share for the period March 1, 2026 – March 31, 2026. The final value is calculated using the volume weighted average price of the Company's share for the period March 1, 2027 – March 31, 2027, plus dividends per share and other distribution of funds paid between March 1, 2026 – March 31, 2027.
The potential TSR-based additional share reward will be paid in the Company's own shares by April 15, 2027, at the latest. In addition, the Company will pay on behalf of the Board members potential transfer tax arising from the transfer of shares.
Restriction on the right of disposal
All shares received as remuneration are subject to a two year lock-up restriction, during which the member of the Board of Directors may not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the shares received as remuneration.
12. Resolution on the number of members of the Board of Directors
The Shareholders’ Nomination and Remuneration Committee proposes that the Board consist of six (6) members. As stated below under item 13, the proposal regarding one of the proposed members is conditional upon the general meeting deciding to approve the amendment to Section 3 of the Articles of Association proposed above under item 10, and upon that amendment being registered in the Trade Register.
13. Election of the members of the Board of Directors
Inderes Oyj's Shareholders’ Nomination and Remuneration Committee proposes to the Annual General Meeting that current members Nina Källström, Helena Norrman, Hanna Raftell, Tero Weckroth and Joakim Frimodig be re-elected to the Board of Directors, and Tuomas Syrjänen be elected as a new member. The Committee proposes that the shareholders vote on the proposal regarding the election of the members of the Board of Directors as a whole at the Annual General Meeting.
It is proposed that the election of the new member be conditional upon the general meeting deciding to approve the amendment to Section 3 of the Articles of Association proposed above under item 10, and upon the amendment being registered in the Trade Register.
Tuomas Syrjänen (born 1976, Finnish citizen, M.Sc. in Engineering) is a co-founder of Futurice Oy and has served as the company's Chairperson of the Board since 2024. He acted as Futurice's CEO from 2008–2018 and as Business Director from 2003–2008. Syrjänen brings strong technological expertise and experience in international business and growth company leadership to the Board. In addition, he serves as a Board member at WithSecure Oyj, Vaisala Oyj, Vastuu Group, Flow Technologies Oy, and Lappeenranta University of Technology.
All candidates have given their consent to the position.
The CV of the new Board member is available at https://group.inderes.fi/en/corporate_governance/governing_model/annual_general_meeting_2026. The CVs of other proposed members are available at https://group.inderes.fi/en/corporate_governance/governing_model/board_of_directors.
All of the proposed Board members are assessed to be independent of the Company and its significant shareholders.
The Shareholders’ Nomination and Remuneration Committee proposes that the members of the Board of Directors elect Joakim Frimodig as Chairperson of the Board.
14. Resolution on the remuneration of the auditor
The Board of Directors proposes to the General Meeting that the auditor is reimbursed as per their invoice approved by the Company.
15. Election of the auditor
The Board of Directors proposes to the General Meeting that authorized public accountants Ernst & Young Oy be re-elected as the auditor of the Company for a term that would continue until the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting. Ernst & Young Oy has informed the Company that authorized public accountant Toni Halonen would continue as the principal auditor.
16. Authorizing the Board of Directors to decide on the repurchase of the Company’s own shares
The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting authorize the Board of Directors to decide on the repurchase of the Company’s own shares as follows:
The number of own shares to be repurchased may total up to 87,757 Inderes Oyj shares, representing approximately five percent of all the Company’s shares. The repurchase can occur in one or several installments. Own shares can be repurchased only with the Company’s unrestricted equity. The shares may be purchased at the price prevailing in public trading on the purchase date or at a price otherwise formed in the market. Standard derivative, share lending, or other agreements customary in capital markets may be used in executing the repurchase within the framework of laws and regulations, at a price determined by market conditions. Shares can be repurchased in a manner other than in proportion to the shareholders’ current holdings (directed repurchase).
The shares are to be repurchased for use as consideration in potential corporate acquisitions or other arrangements related to the Company’s business activities, to finance investments, as part of the Company’s incentive program, or to be held by the Company, otherwise disposed of, or canceled.
The authorization is valid until the next Annual General Meeting of Inderes Oyj, or until 30 June 2027. The Board of Directors is authorized to decide on all other terms related to the repurchase of the Company’s own shares. This authorization supersedes the previous authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting for the repurchase of own shares.
17. Authorizing the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of shares as well as the issuance of options and other special rights entitling to shares
The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting authorize the Board of Directors to decide on a share issue and the issuance of option rights and other special rights entitling to shares as referred to in Chapter 10, Section 1 of the Limited Liability Companies Act, in one or several installments, either against payment or free of charge, as follows:
The number of shares issued under the authorization may total up to 351,026 shares (including those issued under special rights), representing approximately 20 percent of all the Company’s shares. The Board of Directors will decide on all terms and conditions of the share issuance and the issuance of option rights and other special rights entitling to shares. Both new shares and shares held by the Company can be issued under this authorization. The Board of Directors may also decide on a share issue free of charge to the Company itself. The issuance and transfer of shares, as well as option rights and other special rights entitling to shares, can deviate from the shareholders’ pre-emptive rights (directed issue), if there is a weighty financial reason for the Company, such as using the shares to develop the Company’s capital structure, to execute potential mergers and acquisitions, investments, or other business arrangements, or to implement the Company’s engagement and incentive schemes.
The authorization is valid until the next Annual General Meeting of Inderes Oyj, or until 30 June 2027. This authorization supersedes the previous authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting.
