Establishment of the program
The board of directors of Railcare Group proposes that the general meeting resolves to establish a long-term incentive program – Incentive Program 2026, in accordance with the principal terms and guidelines set out below.

Purpose
Railcare currently lacks a share-based incentive program. In light of this, the board of directors, in consultation with legal advisors and major shareholders, has prepared the present proposal for an incentive program (the “Incentive Program” or ”LTIP 2026”), which is intended to cover employees of the Railcare group, and is based on newly issued shares, employee options consisting of one matching share right and one performance share right each.

Description
LTIP 2026 is proposed to be directed to employees within the Railcare group, in total approximately 207 participants (”the Participants”). It is proposed that the program, which entails a requirement for own investment, shall consist of a combination of performance shares and matching shares. According to the proposal, LTIP 2026 may, if fully subscribed, comprise the issuance of a maximum of 1,004,896 shares, consisting of 314,067 newly issued shares and 314,067 employee options consisting of 690,829 warrants

Investment requirement
In order to participate in LTIP 2026, the Participants are required to invest in Railcare shares in the directed issue of shares within the framework of LTIP 2026 and enter into an agreement in respect thereof. If the Participant, at the time of subscription to LTIP 2026, is prevented from acquiring Railcare shares under market abuse regulations or other applicable rules, shares shall instead be acquired on the market and allocated to the Incentive Program, as soon as such restrictions no longer apply, but no later than 30 September 2026. The Participant shall notify the board of directors of such interest, stating the number of shares that the Participant intends to acquire on the market and allocate to the Incentive Program. Shares acquired as set out above are collectively referred to as ”Investment Share”.

Performance Share Rights and Matching Share Rights
Under LTIP 2026, each Investment Share entitles the holder to one (1) employee option (”Employee Option”) consisting of two (2) share rights free of charge. The share rights are divided into performance share rights and matching share rights (“Performance Share Rights” and ”Matching Share Rights”, collectively ”Share Rights”) which may be exercised after the expiry of a vesting period of three and a half (3,5) years (the “Vesting Period”). Each Matching Share Right entitles the holder to subscribe for 1 Railcare share each, while each Performance Share Right entitles the holder to subscribe for 1.2 Railcare shares each (rounded down).

Allocation based on Share Rights will take place as soon as practically possible after the Company has compiled the total subscription status.

In order to align the interests of the Participants with those of the shareholders, Railcare will compensate for extraordinary dividends and other value transfers to shareholders during the Vesting Period by increasing the number of shares to which each Share Right entitles. The number of Railcare shares to which each Share Right entitles may be recalculated due to, inter alia, bonus issues, extraordinary dividends, consolidation or split of shares, new issues, reduction of share capital or similar measures. Transfer of shares may be accelerated as a result of mergers or similar measures.

Categories and performance conditions
The Performance Share Rights and the allocation of shares based thereon are conditional upon whether the performance conditions set out below are fulfilled during the Vesting Period, 1 June 2026 – 31 December 2029, whereby it is determined whether the Performance Share Rights entitle the Participants to subscribe for Railcare shares at the end of the Vesting Period.

The Performance Share Rights entitle the holder to subscribe for Railcare shares provided that the Participant remains in his or her employment or assignment within the Railcare group, that the Participant has retained all Investment Shares and that the Company has achieved the operational targets set by the Company regarding operating profit per share.
The Matching Share Rights entitle the holder to subscribe for Railcare shares provided that the Participant remains in his or her employment or assignment within the Railcare group and has retained all Investment Shares.

LTIP 2026 is divided into three tranches as follows:

  • Tranche 1 – Chief Executive Officer: Comprises 1 person. Tranche 1 constitutes 25 percent of the total program and comprises a maximum of 251,293 shares, of which 78,529 Investment Shares, 78,529 Performance Share Rights [1] and 78,529 Matching Share Rights.
  • Tranche 2 – Senior Management: Comprises 6 persons. Tranche 2 constitutes 35 percent of the total program and comprises a maximum of 351,804shares in total, corresponding to a maximum of 58,634 shares per person, of which 18,323 Investment Shares, 18,323 Performance Share Rights [2] and 18,323 Matching Share Rights per person.
  • Tranche 3 – Other employees in the group: Comprises approximately 200 persons. Tranche 3 constitutes 40 percent of the total program and comprises a maximum of 401,800 shares in total, corresponding to a maximum of 2,009 shares per person, of which 628 Investment Shares, 628 Performance Share Rights [3] and 628 Matching Share Rights per person.

Each Participant is allocated Investment Shares in accordance with the distribution in the respective tranche. However, Participants may choose to subscribe for a lower number of shares. Participants are entitled to subscribe for additional shares within their tranche to the extent that other Participants within the tranche do not wish to subscribe in full. Decisions on allocation are made by the board of directors, which shall strive for an equal allocation among the Participants. If an equal allocation cannot be achieved, the following criteria shall be taken into account;

  • Education,
  • Experience,
  • Expected significance for the Company’s operations, and
  • Level of responsibility.

To the extent a Participant has notified their participation as set out above but is prevented from subscribing for shares in the issue, the board of directors shall be prevented from allocating the number of shares that the Participant has notified. The Participant shall be entitled to the number of shares that the Participant would have been allocated in the issue.

Additional personnel
Additional personnel who have joined after the directed issue of shares has been completed shall be offered the opportunity to participate in LTIP 2026 by acquiring shares on the market and allocating these to the program. For participation in the program, the other terms of the resolution shall apply.

Exercise of Share Rights
Provided that the above performance conditions have been achieved during the Vesting Period and that the Participant has remained in his or her employment (unless special circumstances exist) and has retained his or her Investment Shares until the exercise period, the exercise of the Share Rights shall take place during a two-week period following the publication of the Company’s year-end report for 2029, but no earlier than 15 January 2030 and no later than 29 June 2030.

When assessing the final outcome of the vesting of Share Rights, the board of directors shall, in special cases having regard to the Company’s financial position, examine whether the level of allocation of shares is reasonable in relation to Railcare’s financial results and position, conditions on the stock market and otherwise, and if the board of directors considers that this is not the case, reduce the allocation to a lower level that the board of directors considers appropriate.

Costs, dilution and effect on key ratios
The program entails, based on a reasonable assumption, costs for the Company of approximately SEK 2.15 million/year for four years. However, the exact costs depend on the Company’s development during the period.

Hedging measures
The board of directors has chosen to deliver Investment Shares through a directed issue of shares to the Participants. In order to secure the delivery of the Employee Options, consisting of the Performance Share Rights and the Matching Share Rights, the board of directors proposes a directed issue of warrants to the Company with the right and obligation to transfer the warrants to the Participants within the framework of the Incentive Program.

Preparation of the proposal
The proposal has been prepared by the Company’s board of directors together and in consultation with external advisors and following consultation with shareholders. It is specifically noted that Mattias Remahl has neither participated in the preparation of the proposal nor the resolution. The board of directors has thereafter resolved to present this proposal for resolution at the annual general meeting on 7 May 2026.

Majority requirements
In order for the resolution to be in accordance with good practice and compatible with law, the support of shareholders representing at least nine-tenths of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting is required.

Directed issue of shares in connection with LTIP 2026
The board of directors proposes that the Company, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, shall issue a total of no more than 314,067 shares, as a result of which the Company’s share capital may increase by a maximum of SEK 128,767.47.

The following terms shall otherwise apply to the issue: 

  1. The right to subscribe for shares shall, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, be granted to employees within the Railcare group. Subscription for shares may also be made through wholly-owned companies.
  2. For each subscribed share, the Participant receives one (1) accompanying Employee Option consisting of one (1) matching share right and one (1) performance share right.
  3. The reasons for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights are to introduce a long-term incentive program for employees at various levels of seniority and thereby create a reward system that is competitive, that can serve as a guideline for the Company’s management team in the work with the Company’s strategy and which, in addition to enhancing focus for the group’s employees when it comes to delivering excellent results that contribute to value creation for shareholders, also gives the group’s employees an increased opportunity to share in the Company’s success. It is the board of directors’ assessment that the introduction of a long-term incentive program can increase the incentives for existing key personnel within the group’s various operations and facilitate new recruitment.
  4. The subscription price for the shares shall correspond to the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s share during the five most recent trading days prior to the commencement of the subscription period, however not less than the quota value. Amounts exceeding the quota value shall be added to the free share premium fund.
  5. Subscription for shares shall be made on a separate subscription list no earlier than 11 May 2026 and no later than 25 May 2026. The board of directors shall be entitled to extend or shorten the subscription period.
  6. Full payment for allocated shares shall be made in cash no later than the 15 June 2026. Payment shall be made in accordance with the instructions on the settlement note issued.
  7. The new shares shall carry entitlement to dividends for the first time on the record date for dividends occurring immediately after the new shares have been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and entered in the share register maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB. 
  8. Each Participant is guaranteed allocation if allocation is made in accordance with the respective tranche as set out above. Participants may choose to subscribe for a lower number of shares.
  9. Decisions on allocation are made by the board of directors, whereby the following criteria shall be taken into account. To the extent a Participant has notified their participation as set out above but is prevented from subscribing for shares in the issue, the board of directors shall be prevented from allocating the number of shares that the Participant has notified. The Participant shall be entitled to the number of shares that the Participant would have been allocated in the issue in accordance with the following allocation principles.
    Each Participant is allocated shares in accordance with the respective tranche. However, Participants may choose to subscribe for a lower number of shares. Participants are entitled to subscribe for additional shares within their tranche to the extent that other Participants within the tranche do not wish to subscribe in full. Decisions on allocation are made by the board of directors, which shall strive for an equal allocation among the Participants. If an equal allocation cannot be achieved, the following criteria shall be taken into account;
  • Education,
  • Experience,
  • Expected significance for the Company’s operations, and
  • Level of responsibility.
  1. The board of directors, or anyone authorized by the board of directors, is authorized to make such minor adjustments to the issue resolution as required for registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB.
  2. The proposal has been prepared by the board of directors in consultation with legal advisors and major shareholders.
  3. The resolution is covered by Chapter 16 of the Swedish Companies Act and requires the support of shareholders representing at least nine-tenths of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.

Other information:
In order to ensure a market-based subscription price, the board of directors has resolved that no discount shall apply in the issue. In addition, the board of directors has chosen a short reference period in order to reduce the risk that the subscription price is affected by price fluctuations. Furthermore, the subscription period for the issue has, in order to be as close to the market value as possible, been set directly after the reference period ends. The board of directors thus considers that the subscription price will be on market terms.

Resolution on issue of warrants series 2026/2029 to secure delivery of shares within the framework of LTIP 2026
Through a directed issue, the Company shall issue a maximum of 690,829 warrants of series 2026/2029, each entitling the holder to subscribe for one (1) new share. In the event that all warrants of series 2026/2029 are exercised, the share capital may increase by a maximum of 283,239.89 SEK.

The following terms shall otherwise apply to the issue:

  1. The right to subscribe for warrants shall, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, be granted to the Company with the right and obligation to transfer the warrants to Participants in the Company’s long-term incentive program. Over-subscription is not possible.
  2. Transfer pursuant to item 1 is conditional upon the Participant having maintained employment within any of the companies included in the Company’s group from the date on which the Employee Options were received until the commencement of the exercise period (the vesting period), and that the Company during the same period has fulfilled targets regarding operating profit per share.
  3. The warrants shall be transferred free of charge.
  4. Subscription for warrants shall be made on a separate subscription list no later than 29 May 2026. The board of directors shall be entitled to extend the subscription period.
  5. Subscription for shares based on warrants may take place during a two-week period from the day following the publication of the Company’s year-end report for 2029, but no earlier than 15 January 2030 and no later than 29 June 2030.
  6. Shares issued upon exercise of warrants shall carry entitlement to dividends on the record date for dividends occurring immediately after the new shares have been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and entered in the share register maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB.
  7. The subscription price per share upon exercise of warrants shall be the quota value of the share.
  8. The complete terms and conditions of the warrants are set out in Appendix A.
  9. The board of directors, or anyone authorized by the board of directors, is authorized to resolve on minor corrections required for registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB.
  10. The proposal has been prepared by the board of directors and shareholders in consultation with legal advisors and major shareholders.
  11. For a resolution in accordance with the proposal, the support of shareholders representing at least nine-tenths of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting is required.

The board of directors’ reasons for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights:

The reasons for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights are to secure the future delivery of shares for Participants who have received Employee Options within the framework of the Company’s long-term incentive program.
