The Chairman of the meeting presented the Board of Directors' proposals as follows:

It was noted that in order to complete the cross-border conversion, the Board of Directors of NYAB had proposed that the Extraordinary General Meeting resolves to approve the statutory cross- border conversion of NYAB in accordance with the Cross-border Conversion Plan approved by the Board of Directors of NYAB on 4 March 2024 and thereafter registered with the trade register maintained by the Finnish Patent and Registration Office, and as part of approval of the cross- border conversion, the meeting:

The instructions regarding the Nomination Committee were attached to the minutes (Attachment 4).

It was noted that in accordance with the Finnish Companies Act NYAB's shareholders have the right to demand redemption of their shares at the Extraordinary General Meeting deciding on the cross-border conversion before the resolution on the cross-border conversion is made, provided that the shareholder who demands redemption of their shares also votes against the cross-border conversion at the Extraordinary General Meeting. A shareholder wishing to have shares redeemed had to submit an electronic redemption claim or fill in the redemption form available at the General Meeting and return it duly completed to the secretary of the General Meeting. It was recorded that the General Meeting reserved an opportunity to demand redemption of shareholders' shares before deciding on the cross-border conversion.

A total of 7,949 NYAB shares were therefore demanded to be redeemed, corresponding to approximately 0.001 per cent of the shares and votes represented at the meeting and approximately 0.001 per cent of all shares and votes in the company.

It was resolvedin accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors to approve the cross- border conversion in accordance with the Cross-border Conversion Plan, and the Cross-border Conversion Plan was approved.
