Information regarding proposed members of the board of directors
Maria Edsman is proposed as a new member of the board of directors. Maria Edsman, born in 1968, has many years of experience as CEO of Bokusgruppen AB (publ) (a position she will leave on 1 April 2026) and, prior to that, served as CEO at Polarn O. Pyret and Brothers. Maria Edsman is a board member of Volati AB, Salix Group AB, Rusta AB and Galadriel AB, and an alternate board member of Tekholmen AB. In addition, Maria Edsman holds positions within the Bokusgruppen group and Svenska Bokhandlareföreningen, which will cease on 1 April 2026. Maria Edsman has no other ongoing corporate or board assignments. Maria Edsman (and her related parties) owns 100,800 shares and 50,000 warrants in Bokusgruppen AB (publ).

A presentation of the board members proposed for re-election is available on the company’s website, www.bokusgruppen.com.

The independence of the proposed members of the board of directors
Considering the rules on board members’ independence set out in the Swedish Corporate Governance Code, the nomination committee is of the opinion that three of the five proposed board members: Mattias Björk, Anna Wallenberg, and Jeanette Söderberg are independent in relation to the company, its senior management and its major shareholders.

The nomination committee is of the opinion that Patrik Wahlén is independent in relation to the company and its senior management but that he is not independent in relation to the company's major shareholders as he himself is a major shareholder.

The nomination committee is of the opinion that Maria Edsman is independent in relation to the company’s major shareholders, but that she is not independent in relation to the company and company management, as she herself serves as the company’s CEO until 1 April 2026.

Item 11: Resolution on nomination committee
The nomination committee proposes that the instruction for the appointment of the members of the nomination committee, which was first adopted at the 2021 annual general meeting and has since been adopted to apply unchanged during each subsequent annual general meeting, shall continue to apply until further notice.

The instruction for the appointment of the members of the nomination committee adopted at the 2021 annual general meeting is published on the company’s website, www.bokusgruppen.com.

Item 12: Resolution on guidelines for remuneration to senior executives
The remuneration that has been paid, based on the guidelines for remuneration to the senior management adopted by the 2025 annual general meeting (the “Guidelines”), is disclosed in note 6 of Bokusgruppen AB’s annual report for 2025.

There have been no deviations from the procedure for the implementation of the Guidelines and no derogations from the application of the Guidelines in 2025.

The board of directors proposes that the Guidelines shall continue to apply until further notice (however, not later than until the 2030 annual general meeting).

The Guidelines are published on the company’s website, www.bokusgruppen.com.

Item 13: Resolution authorising the board of directors to decide on the repurchase of warrants
The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to authorise the board of directors, during the period until the next annual general meeting, on one or more occasions, to resolve on the repurchase of the 260,000 outstanding warrants of series 2023/2026. The warrants that are the subject of this resolution entitle the holder to subscribe for new shares in the company at a price of SEK 47.00 per share (before any recalculation in accordance with the recalculation terms for the warrants) during the period from 11 May 2026 up to and including 31 May 2026. Repurchases shall be made at market value, to be determined by the board of directors and based on the average volume-weighted price paid for the company’s shares on Nasdaq First North Growth Market during a period close to the repurchase period (where applicable, taking into account the recalculation terms pursuant to the warrant terms and conditions available on Bokusgruppen’s website, www.bokusgruppen.com). The board of directors shall be authorised to resolve on the detailed terms and conditions for the implementation and on the administrative measures that may be required for the implementation of this resolution.

The purpose of the repurchase shall be to limit the dilution of the company’s shares while offering warrant holders the opportunity to realise the value of the warrants and use such value to exercise warrants that have not been repurchased. Repurchased warrants shall be held in the company’s custody and cancelled without being further transferred.
