Payment may, in addition to cash payment, be made by way of contribution or set-off, or otherwise with conditions. If the Board of Directors decides to issue new shares with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, the reason for this shall be to provide the company with new owners of strategic importance to the company or in order to implement an acquisition agreement, or alternatively to procure capital for such acquisitions.

Shares may also be issued to secure undertakings under the company's share programs. Such issues may be made at a price below the market price of the shares, however not lower than the shares' quota value.

Item 16; Resolution on authorization for the Board of Directors to resolve on acquisition and transfer of own shares
The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorizes the Board of Directors, for the period up until the next Annual General Meeting, to decide on the acquisition and transfer of own shares on or outside Nasdaq Stockholm or in accordance with an offer made to all shareholders. The authorization may be exercised on one or more occasions until the Annual General Meeting 2023.

A maximum of so many shares may be acquired that the company's holdings, including shares that have otherwise been acquired and held, will not exceed five (5) percent of all shares in the company. Transfer in accordance with the authorization may be made of all own shares held by the company at the time of the Board's decision.

The purpose of the proposal is to give the board increased scope for action and the opportunity to continuously adapt the company's capital structure, thereby contributing to increased shareholder value and to capture attractive business opportunities by fully or partially financing corporate acquisitions with own shares and to secure undertakings and social security contributions under the incentive program.

Item 17; Resolution on the adoption of Share programme 2022

Item 17 (a); The Board of Director's proposal for a resolution on Share program 2022

Background
For TF Bank to be able to successfully implement the bank's business strategy and safeguard the bank's long-term interests, including its sustainability, it is a prerequisite for the bank to be able to recruit and retain qualified members of staff. Remuneration should encourage high performance and at the same time be compatible with and promote sound and effective risk management and counteract excessive risk-taking. Performance is evaluated from a multi-year perspective on the basis of pre-determined financial and non-financial goals.

Equity-based remuneration is a means to recruit, motivate and retain staff with key competences in TF Bank. Furthermore, employees' shareholding builds and strengthens long-term commitment in the interests of the shareholders.

The evaluation and preparation of the Share program 2022
TF Bank’s share program 2022 (“Share program 2022”) has been prepared by the Board and the Board's remuneration committee (“RemCo”). The RemCo shall also monitor the participation in the program.

The preparation has focused on the allotment criteria, while also considering the effectiveness, attractiveness and competitiveness of the program. Market and societal trends, shareholders' preferences and regulatory requirements have been taken into account.

Based on this preparation and discussions with the bank's major shareholders, the Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting 2022 resolves on a long-term share-program for senior executives and some other employees of TF Bank (“Participants”).

TF Bank’s Share program 2022 allows for risk adjustment and the final outcome may therefore be cancelled partly or entirely in accordance with the bank’s remuneration policy and applicable regulations. This means, among other things, that the number of Matching Shares (as defined below) that a Participant can retain through TF Bank's Share program 2022 may be reduced or completely canceled in certain cases, for example if the outcome is not defensible with regard to the bank's financial situation.

The Board's and RemCo's view is that the proposal strikes an appropriate balance between motivating the employees and achieving a long-term, well-balanced and competitive remuneration.

Terms for the Share program 2022
TF Banks Share program 2022 is a program directed to senior executives and some other employees of TF Bank, including the CEO and Deputy CEO. The program is not directed to Board members of the Company. The program covers up to 24 persons. The program period is three years and lasts from 30 November 2022 until 30 November 2025.

Every Participant is allocated an individually determined number of conditional share rights (“Rights”), each of which entitles the holder to one matching share in TF Bank (“Matching Shares”). The allocation of Rights will be distributed among the Participants as follows:

The Rights are conditional on the Participant acquiring the corresponding number of shares in TF Bank (“Acquired Shares”) no later than 30 November 2022. The Participant is entitled to receive a Matching Share for each allotted Right that is matched by an Acquired Share. Excess Rights shall lapse without any right for the Participant to receive a Matching Share.

The number of Rights allocated to a Participant will be determined based on an assessment of: The Participant's results, the Participant's result unit’s results and the bank's total results. In assessing the employee's results, both financial and non-financial criteria will be considered.

The Matching Shares will be transferred to the Participants when the Share Program 2022 expires on 30 November 2025. For the ownership of the Matching Shares to be transferred to the Participants, certain conditions must be met as of 30 November 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. One third of the Matching shares are earned if the conditions are met at each of these times. A Participant who meets the conditions as of 30 November 2023 and 2024, but not 2025, is thus entitled to receive two thirds of the Matching Shares. The conditions that must be met are that the Participant at such time: (i) is employed by the bank; (ii) holds the Acquired Shares; and (ii) that the financial and/or non-financial criteria which the board decides upon allocation of the Rights are fulfilled. The board has the right to adjust the financial and/or non-financial criteria in accordance with (iii) above annually. Such adjustment shall be made no later than 30 November during a year to apply for the forthcoming year.

The program comprises an obligation for the bank to deliver approximately 26,000 shares to the Participants.

The number of Matching Shares which each Participant may receive may be subject to recalculation under the terms and conditions of the program as a consequence of issues of bonus shares to shareholders, splits, preferential issues and similar measures.

Allotment
The maximum number of shares that can be transferred under the Share program 2022 is 26,000 shares. The maximum number of shares under the program equals approximately 0.12 per cent of the total number of shares in the bank. The delivery of shares is proposed to be effectuated with existing shares. Allotment of Rights under the program shall be made before 31 May 2022.

Acquired Shares and Matching shares shall be ordinary shares of TF Bank with the right to a dividend. The Rights are not securities that can be sold, pledged or transferred to others.

Miscellaneous
Before the final outcome of TF Bank's Share program 2022 are determined, the Board shall examine whether the outcome inter alia from a risk perspective is reasonable considering TF Bank's results and financial position, the conditions on the stock market, conditions related to the individual Participant and other circumstances such as changes in accounting principles. If this is not deemed to be the case, the Board has the right, within the limit of the total program, to change the outcome to the number the board deems reasonable. The outcome may be set to zero. Any change shall be communicated in connection with TF Bank's first financial report following the decision.

The Board is authorized to make changes to TF Bank's Share program 2022 from time to time if so deemed advisable by the Board or RemCo and provided that the program following such changes are within the limits of the maximum number of shares in the program, the maximum number of shares of the total number of shares in the bank and the calculated maximum costs.

Taxation
The programs have been designed in such a way that Participants will normally be taxed for the benefit of receiving shares in the income year when the shares are received, i.e., 2025. The taxable value of the benefit will normally be equal to the closing price for the shares on the day when the shares are received. The value of the benefit is taxed as income from employment for the Participant. Thus, social security contributions will in most cases be charged on the benefit amount and be a cost for the employer.

Cost
Under the assumption that TF Bank hedges its undertakings under Share program 2022 by acquiring its own shares at an average price of SEK 200 per share and that all Participants fulfil the criteria and receive the full number of Matching Shares, the cost for Share program 2022 (including social security contributions) will amount to MSEK 6,8 over a three-year period. If only half of the Matching Shares are transferred to the Participants, the cost for Share program 2022 (including social security contributions) will amount to MSEK 3,4 over a three-year period.

Under the assumption that TF Bank hedges its undertakings under Share program 2022 by acquiring its own shares at an average price of SEK 250 per share and that all Participants fulfil the criteria and receive the full number of Matching Shares, the cost for Share program 2022 (including social security contributions) will amount to MSEK 8,5 over a three-year period. If only half of the Matching Shares are transferred to the Participants, the cost for Share program 2022 (including social security contributions) will amount to MSEK 4,3 over a three-year period.

Hedging and transfer of shares
The Share program 2022 lead to certain financial exposure for the bank, due to market price changes for the bank's share. The aim is to hedge this exposure by the acquisition of own shares or by equity swap contracts with third parties. The social security contribution is also hedged.

There are different methods for effectuating the transfer of Matching Shares to the Participants under the programs, such as delivery of own shares and an agreement with a third party under which the third-party transfers shares to the Participants under the programs. The Board considers delivery of own shares as the most cost efficient and flexible method. Therefore, this is the main alternative (item 16 on the agenda for the Annual General Meeting).

Item 17 (b); The Board of Directors proposal on resolution on the transfer of own shares
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves that a maximum of 26,000 of the Acquired shares in the bank may be sold/transferred as follows.

1. Participants, in the Share program 2022 who are entitled to receive shares, shall have a preferential right to receive the shares, to a number that follows from the terms and conditions of the Share program 2022. Subsidiaries within the TF Bank Group shall furthermore be entitled to acquire the shares for nil consideration, where such subsidiary shall within the scope of the terms and conditions of the program be obliged immediately to transfer the shares to the Participants; and
2. The right to receive shares may be exercised in the period when the Participants are entitled to receive shares under the Share program 2022.

Shares and votes
The share capital of the bank is 107,500,000 SEK consisting of a total of 21,500,000 common shares. Each common share entitles to one (1) vote at the meeting.

Majority rules
Approval of the Board of Directors’ proposal according to items 15 and 16 requires that the Annual General Meeting’s resolution is supported by shareholders representing at least two thirds of the votes cast and shares represented at the Meeting. Approval of the Board of Director’s proposal according to item 17(b) requires that the Annual General Meeting’s resolution is supported by shareholders representing at least nine tenths of the votes cast and shares represented at the Meeting.
