Guidelines for remuneration to the executive managementThe meeting resolved, in accordance with the Board of Directors’ proposal, to adopt new guidelines for remuneration to the executive management.

LTI program 2026The meeting resolved, in accordance with the Board of Directors’ proposal, to implement a performance stock unit program (“LTI 2026”) for approximately 64 employees in the Acast group. A maximum of 2,190,000 performance stock units may be allotted to the participants. The performance stock units shall be allotted to the participants free of charge and vesting shall occur on a linear basis (0–100 percent) between 15 June 2026 and 15 June 2029, subject to the participant continuing to be an employee of the Acast group.

Vesting is also conditional upon certain performance targets being achieved during the vesting period for LTI 2026, relating to the average total shareholder return on Acast’s share (TSR target), the company’s operating margin (EBIT target), and the company’s partnerships regarding donations of unsold advertising inventory for charitable purposes (ESG target). Each performance stock unit that has vested in full entitles the holder to receive one share in Acast.

To ensure delivery of vested performance stock units, the Annual General Meeting also resolved on transfer of no more than 2,190,000 Acast shares to the participants in LTI 2026, in accordance with the terms and conditions of LTI 2026.

Authorisation to resolve on new issue of shares and/or warrantsThe meeting authorised the Board of Directors to, on one or several occasions for the period up to the next Annual General Meeting, resolve on new issue of shares and/or warrants, to the extent that such 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 (10) percent of the total number of outstanding shares in the company at the time of the Annual General Meeting. The purpose of the authorisation and the reasons for any deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights are to enable issues in order to execute acquisitions of companies which are important for Acast’s business and thereby use the company’s share as payment.

Authorisation for the Board of Directors to resolve on acquisition and transfer of own sharesThe meeting authorised the Board of Directors to on one or several occasions for the period until the end of the next Annual General Meeting, resolve to acquire a maximum number of own shares so that the company holds a maximum of ten (10) percent of all shares in Acast at any time following the acquisition. The meeting further authorised the Board of Directors to resolve upon transfer of own shares, which may be conducted on Nasdaq Stockholm or elsewhere, including a right to resolve on deviations from the shareholders’ preferential rights. The number of shares transferred may not exceed the total number of shares held by Acast at any time. The purpose of the authorisations regarding acquisition and transfer of own shares, and the reason for deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, is to ensure the delivery of shares to the participants in Acast’s incentive program and to enable the financing of acquisitions of businesses through payment with own shares.

Transfer of own shares to two key employees of Wake Word Studios and PodiusThe meeting resolved on transfer of not more than 185,480 shares in Acast to two key employees of Wake Word Studios and Podius, for the purpose of complying with the retention agreements entered into in connection with Acast’s acquisition of the companies in December 2025. Transfer and payment of the shares shall take place during two separate transfer periods, the first occurring between 15 December 2026 - 15 January 2027 and the second occurring between 15 December 2027 - 15 January 2028. Transfer shall occur with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights at a price per share which corresponds to the volume-weighted average price of Acast’s share on Nasdaq Stockholm during the five trading days preceding each transfer period. Payment for the shares shall be made by way of set-off.
