Ratos AGM Backs Dividend, Incentive Plan and Expanded Deal-Making Mandates

The latest update is out from Ratos AB ( ($SE:RATO.B) ).

Ratos’ Annual General Meeting in Stockholm approved the 2025 accounts, discharged the board and CEOs from liability, and reappointed a six-member board led by Chairman Per-Olof Söderberg alongside auditor Ernst & Young. Share-based remuneration to directors was raised modestly, while existing committee fees were kept unchanged, signalling continuity in governance and oversight.

Shareholders approved a dividend of SEK 1.40 per Class A and B share and backed the board’s remuneration report and new guidelines for senior executive pay. A long-term incentive programme of convertible debentures and warrants for the CEO and key staff was adopted, allowing a potential share capital increase of up to SEK 4.158 million if fully exercised.

The AGM also authorised the board to repurchase treasury shares up to ten percent of outstanding stock and to transfer those shares on or off Nasdaq Stockholm, providing flexibility for capital management. In addition, the board received a mandate to issue up to 35 million new Class B shares for acquisition-related purposes, strengthening Ratos’ capacity to pursue future deal-driven growth in the Nordic investment market.
