____________ 1 Where share options were granted in SEK, the input has been converted to USD using the average exchange rate for the period for presentation purposes. 2 two Class C share options entitle the recipient to acquire, at the recipient's election, either one ordinary share or two Class C shares on exercise. Weighted average exercise prices for Class C share options are expressed per Class C share; the equivalent exercise price expressed per ordinary share is double the figures shown. All Class C share options outstanding as of December 31, 2025 were granted exclusively to Mr. Siemiatkowski under the C Share Awards Plan described in Item 6. 3 In 2025, the terms of 1,477,164 share options originally granted to Mr. Siemiatkowski in the fourth quarter of 2024 were amended to allow such options to be exercised into 2,941,236 Class C shares (or 1,470,618 ordinary shares), reflecting the conversion ratio under which two Class C share options correspond to one ordinary share. The amendment did not reduce the exercise price of the underlying award; the weighted average exercise price of $19.1 per Class C share shown above is equivalent to $38.2 per ordinary share, consistent with the original grant terms. The modification did not result in an incremental share-based payment charge.
