Proposals for resolutions

Election of the chairman of the meeting (item 2)

The Nomination Committee proposes that Fredrik Palm, member of the Swedish Bar Association active at Gernandt & Danielsson Advokatbyrå, is elected chairman of the meeting.

Resolution regarding (a) reduction of the share capital by cancellation of the Company’s own D shares, (b) increase of the share capital through a bonus issue simultaneously with the cancellation of the Company’s own D shares, (c) acquisition of own D shares, (d) authorisation for the board of directors to resolve on a new issue of B shares with payment through set-off, (e) reduction of the share capital through the redemption of D shares and (f) increase of the share capital through a bonus issue simultaneously with the redemption of D shares (item 7)

Background
As announced by SBB in a press release on 15 September 2026, the board of directors proposes to carry out a buy-back and subsequent redemption of the Company’s D shares as part of its efforts to unlock value for all shareholders, regardless of share class.

Since 2024, SBB has not paid any dividend on its ordinary shares, which means that the accumulated increase in the dividend limit for D shares at the end of the third quarter of 2026 amounts to SEK five (5).

The board of directors considers that the uncertainty arising from the dividend restriction and the non-payment of a dividend is to the detriment of all A, B and D shareholders collectively.

Against this background, the board of directors considers that the proposal – which entails the complete phasing out of the D shares as a class through the Buy-back Offer (as defined below) and the subsequent mandatory redemption – is the best available option for permanently restoring the Company’s fundamental ability to raise capital through a simpler capital structure, offering the market an attractive listed share class, and creating and realising shareholder value. This simplified share capital structure benefits all shareholders, including holders of D shares, who are given the opportunity to, at a premium to the current share price, either receive cash consideration or continue to participate in the Company’s future value creation by switching to B shares.

All resolution items under this item 7 are conditional upon one another, and the board of directors proposes that the meeting’s resolution under this item 7 be adopted as a combined resolution. A valid resolution under this item 7 therefore requires the majority prescribed by Chapter 20, Section 5 of the Swedish Companies Act. This means that approval of the proposals requires the support of a majority comprising (i) two-thirds (2/3) of all votes and shares represented at the meeting, and (ii) two-thirds (2/3) of all D shares represented at the meeting.

The distributable amount available to the meeting amounts to SEK 13,339,369,333. The resolutions below will result in a reduction of the distributable amount of at least SEK 19,763,391.9804164 (assumes that all D shares are bought back in exchange for newly issued B shares) and at most SEK 1,204,475,912.42042 (assumes that all D shares are bought back for cash consideration or redeemed for redemption amount). The final amount of the reduction will therefore depend on the number of D shares bought back for newly issued B shares.

(a) Reduction of the share capital by cancellation of the Company’s own D shares

The board of directors proposes that the meeting resolves that the Company’s share capital be reduced by SEK 4,465,777.9 by cancellation of all 44,657,779 D shares already held by the Company. The purpose of the reduction is for allocation to unrestricted shareholders’ equity.

The reduction of the share capital may be carried out without authorisation from the Swedish Companies Registration Office or, in disputed cases, a general court, as the Company is simultaneously carrying out a bonus issue under item (b) in an amount corresponding to the reduction of the share capital as set out above. Collectively, these measures mean that neither the Company’s restricted shareholders’ equity nor its share capital is reduced.

The proposal is supplemented by a report pursuant to Chapter 20, Section 12, third item of the Swedish Companies Act, an auditor’s statement pursuant to Chapter 20, Section 12, fourth item of the Swedish Companies Act, a report pursuant to Chapter 20, Section 13 of the Swedish Companies Act and an auditor’s statement pursuant to Chapter 20, Section 14 of the Swedish Companies Act.

(b) Increase of the share capital through a bonus issue simultaneously with the cancellation of the Company’s own D shares

In order to restore the share capital following the proposed reduction of the share capital under item (a), the board of directors proposes that the meeting simultaneously resolves that the Company’s share capital be increased through a bonus issue of SEK 4,465,777.9 by transferring SEK 4,465,777.9 from the Company’s unrestricted shareholders’ equity. No new shares will be issued in connection with the increase of the share capital. Following the bonus issue, the Company’s share capital will amount to SEK 181,304,348.4 and the quota value of each share will change from SEK 0.1 to approximately SEK 0.102525.

The proposal is supplemented by a report pursuant to Chapter 12, Section 7, third item of the Swedish Companies Act and an auditor’s statement pursuant to Chapter 12, Section 7, fourth item of the Swedish Companies Act.

(c) Acquisition of own D shares

The board of directors proposes that the meeting resolves to offer the D shareholders to sell up to all of the outstanding 149,208,126 D shares to the Company (the “Buy-back Offer”). Through the Buy-back Offer, D shareholders are offered, as consideration, either to (i) receive a promissory note that for each D share entitles to set-off against 1.567 newly issued B shares or (ii) receive a one-off cash payment of SEK 7.94 per D share, which corresponds to a premium of (i) 45.42 per cent relative to the closing price of the D share on Nasdaq Stockholm on 14 September 2026, which was the day before the Buy-back Offer was announced, and (ii) 33.47 per cent relative to the volume-weighted average price of the D share over the last 20 trading days (SEK 5.95) before the announcement. The cash consideration also exceeds the 2-year volume-weighted average price (SEK 7.75) before the announcement and the price under SBB’s share buy-back programme in June 2024 (SEK 7.87). SBB has obtained a fairness opinion from KPMG, which supports that the consideration is fair for all shareholders.

The Buy-back Offer will be implemented at the earliest once cancellation of the Company’s own D shares under item (a) and the bonus issue under item (b) have been carried out, but no later than before the next annual general meeting. The board of directors therefore proposes that the board of directors be authorised to determine the application period and the timing for implementation of the Buy-back Offer.

The purpose of the Buy-back Offer, together with the subsequent mandatory redemption under item (e), is to permanently restore the Company’s fundamental ability to raise capital through a simpler capital structure, offer the market an attractive listed share class, and create and realise shareholder value.

The proposal is supplemented by a reasoned statement pursuant to Chapter 19, Section 22 of the Swedish Companies Act, a report pursuant to Chapter 19, Section 24, third item of the Swedish Companies Act and an auditor’s statement pursuant to Chapter 19, Section 24, fourth item of the Swedish Companies Act.

(d) Authorisation for the board of directors to resolve on a new issue of B shares with payment through set-off

The board of directors proposes that the meeting resolves to authorise the board of directors to, on one or more occasions before the next annual general meeting, resolve on a new issue of B shares. Subscribed B shares must be paid for through set-off. The authorisation shall be limited so that the board of directors may not resolve on issues of B shares for any purpose other than to offer B shares as consideration under the Buy-back Offer. If the board of directors resolves on a new issue of B shares with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, the reason for the deviation shall be to enable set-off of promissory notes issued under the Buy-back Offer.

(e) Reduction of the share capital through the redemption of D shares

The board of directors proposes that the meeting resolves that the Company’s share capital be reduced by SEK 15,297,614.0804164 (taking into account the quota value following the bonus issue under item (b) (approximately SEK 0.102525)) through a mandatory cancellation (redemption) of all 149,208,126 D shares not cancelled under item (a). The redemption will be carried out once (i) cancellation of the Company’s own D shares under item (a) and the bonus issue under item (b) have been carried out, and (ii) the Buy-back Offer under item (c) has been implemented. The purpose of the reduction is repayment to shareholders and, to the extent the reduction of the share capital is made through cancellation of the Company’s own shares, allocation to unrestricted shareholders’ equity.

A redemption amount of SEK 7.94 will be paid for each share cancelled. However, cancelled shares held by the Company will be cancelled without repayment. The repayment per share exceeds the quota value of the share following the bonus issue under item (b) (approximately SEK 0.102525) by approximately SEK 7.837475.

It is proposed that the board of directors be authorised to determine the record date, before the next annual general meeting, for redemption of all D shares cancelled under this item, and a later date for payment of the redemption amount.

The reduction of the share capital may be carried out without authorisation from the Swedish Companies Registration Office or, in disputed cases, a general court, as the Company is simultaneously carrying out a bonus issue under item (f) in an amount corresponding to the reduction of the share capital as set out above. Collectively, these measures mean that neither the Company’s restricted shareholders’ equity nor its share capital is reduced.

The proposal is supplemented by a reasoned statement pursuant to Chapter 20, Section 8, first paragraph of the Swedish Companies Act, an auditor’s statement pursuant to Chapter 20, Section 8, second paragraph of the Swedish Companies Act, a report pursuant to Chapter 20, Section 12, third item of the Swedish Companies Act, an auditor’s statement pursuant to Chapter 20, Section 12, fourth item of the Swedish Companies Act, a report pursuant to Chapter 20, Section 13 of the Swedish Companies Act and an auditor’s statement pursuant to Chapter 20, Section 14 of the Swedish Companies Act.

(f) Increase of the share capital through a bonus issue simultaneously with the redemption of D shares

In order to restore the share capital following the proposed reduction of the share capital under item (e), the board of directors proposes that the meeting simultaneously resolves that the Company’s share capital be increased through a bonus issue of SEK 15,297,614.0804164 by transferring SEK 15,297,614.0804164 from the Company’s unrestricted shareholders’ equity. No new shares will be issued in connection with the increase of the share capital. Following the bonus issue, the Company’s share capital will amount to SEK 181,304,348.4 (disregarding any new issue of B shares made on the basis of the issue authorisation under item (d)) and the quota value of each share will change from approximately SEK 0.102525 (the quota value following the bonus issue under item (b)) to approximately SEK 0.111973.

The proposal is supplemented by a report pursuant to Chapter 12, Section 7, third item of the Swedish Companies Act and an auditor’s statement pursuant to Chapter 12, Section 7, fourth item of the Swedish Companies Act.

Resolution regarding approval of transactions with Public Property Invest AB (publ) (item 8)

Background
SocialCo Fastigheter AB, reg. no. 559547-5053, (the “Seller”), a subsidiary of SBB, has on 21 September 2026 entered into agreements to transfer the shares in (i) SBB Nöthagen 5 AB, reg. no. 559419-5413, which owns the property Karlskrona Pollux 32, and (ii) SBB Tuna Äng 1 AB, reg. no. 559508-4277, which owns a property portfolio comprising Karlskrona Gullbernahult 26, Karlskrona Gullbernahult 1, Stockholm Kallinge 2, Gotland Visby S:ta Gertrud 12 and Espoo Vitikka 1 (together the “Target Companies” and the transfers the “Transaction”). The agreements have been entered into with two different subsidiaries of Public Property Invest AB (publ), reg. no. 559547-5061, (“PPI”) as buyers.

Pursuant to Chapter 16 a of the Swedish Companies Act, significant transactions between a public limited liability company whose shares are traded on a regulated marketplace and its related parties must be submitted to the general meeting for approval (subject to certain exceptions). SBB is such a public limited liability company, and PPI, together with PPI’s subsidiaries as the intended buyers under the agreements, are considered related parties to SBB pursuant to Chapter 16 a, Section 3 of the Swedish Companies Act. The Transaction is therefore conditional upon, among other things, approval by the extraordinary general meeting of SBB. See further under the heading Related party transaction below.

Against the above background, and with regard to the report below, the board of directors proposes that the extraordinary general meeting approves the Transaction.

A valid resolution under this item 8 requires that the resolution is supported by shareholders representing more than half of the votes cast. Shares held by companies within the same group as PPI, and shares held by Aker ASA or companies within the same group as Aker ASA, will, in accordance with generally accepted practice in the securities market, not be taken into account at the voting.

The board of directors submits the following report in accordance with Chapter 16 a, Section 7 of the Swedish Companies Act.

Description of the Transaction
The Seller has entered into two separate share purchase agreements in respect of the Target Companies with two different subsidiaries of PPI, of which:

  • the first relates to the purchase of all shares in SBB Nöthagen 5 AB, which, in addition to approval by the meeting, is also conditional upon approval from the Swedish Inspectorate of Strategic Products (ISP) and from a tenant; and
  • the second relates to the purchase of all shares in SBB Tuna Äng 1 AB, which is conditional only upon approval by the meeting.

The agreed property value is SEK 1,350,775,000, of which:

  • SEK 239,000,000 relates to the agreed property value for the property held by SBB Nöthagen 5 AB; and
  • SEK 1,111,775,000 relates to the agreed property value for the property portfolio held by SBB Tuna Äng 1 AB.

The consideration for:

  • all shares in SBB Nöthagen 5 AB will be settled by PPI, on the day of closing, paying SEK 159,000,000 in cash and assuming the financing of remaining project costs; and
  • all shares in SBB Tuna Äng 1 AB, after a discount of SEK 8,000,000, will be settled by PPI, on the day of closing, paying SEK 91,000,000 in cash and issuing 39,453,642 shares in PPI at a subscription price of SEK 25.67 per share (corresponding to a value of SEK 1,012,775,000).

The share purchase agreements have been signed and closing is expected to take place during the fourth quarter of 2026, provided that the general meeting’s approval is obtained and that the other conditions are satisfied before then.

The board of directors’ assessment is that completion of the Transaction is in the interests of SBB’s shareholders and that the Transaction has been agreed on terms that are fair from a financial perspective. SBB has also obtained a fairness opinion from KPMG, which supports that the consideration is fair.

Related party transaction
PPI is an associated company of SBB, as SBB owns approximately 40.59 per cent of the shares and votes in PPI. The buyers are subsidiaries of PPI. In addition to SBB, APG Invest AS, an indirect subsidiary of Aker ASA, owns approximately 33.82 per cent of the shares and votes in PPI. Aker ASA, through subsidiaries, is also one of SBB’s larger shareholders.

With reference to SBB’s ownership interest in PPI, the buyers are considered related parties to SBB pursuant to Chapter 16 a, Section 3 of the Swedish Companies Act. For this reason, the Transaction is submitted to the meeting for approval in accordance with the resolution procedure prescribed in Chapter 16 a of the Swedish Companies Act.
