• Share Issuance Mandate Approved

  Shareholders granted a general mandate to the board to allot and issue additional shares not exceeding 10% of the total issued shares. If all authorized shares were issued, dilution would be 10%.

• Specific Upper Strike Shares Mandate Approved

  A specific mandate was approved to allot and issue 70,042,085 Upper Strike Shares to Call Spread Counterparties. This represents approximately 5.65% of current outstanding shares and finalizes a previously announced proposal.

• Share Repurchase Mandate Approved

  A general mandate was granted to the board to repurchase shares not exceeding 10% of the total issued shares. This follows a series of recent share repurchases by the company and its CEO, and provides significant flexibility for future buybacks.

• Routine AGM Resolutions Passed

  All other proposed resolutions, including the adoption of financial statements for fiscal year 2025, re-election of independent non-executive directors, and re-appointment of Ernst & Young as auditors, were duly adopted.

The approval of these mandates provides the company with significant flexibility for capital management. While the authorization to issue a substantial number of new shares (up to 15.65% of current outstanding shares, including a specific mandate for Upper Strike Shares) could lead to dilution, the concurrent approval of a mandate to repurchase up to 10% of shares signals management's confidence and intent to support the stock, especially as it trades near 52-week lows. This creates a mixed signal for investors, balancing potential dilution with potential share price support.
