Events during the quarter

As part of the transaction a directed share issue was carried out, increasing the total number of shares in Studsvik AB by 124,959 (dilution of 1.5 per cent), from 8,218,611 to 8,343,570 shares.

The application supplements the Group's earlier application for an SMR project in Valdemarsvik and marks an important step in the ReFirm programme. ReFirm is the collective name for Studsvik's programme to develop new nuclear power in the form of small modular reactors (SMRs) in Sweden. In June Studsvik submitted an application to the Ministry of Finance regarding state support for the development of new nuclear power in Sweden.
- During the quarter we entered into a partnership with US-based Lightbridge on software for advanced nuclear fuel, for the light-water reactors of today and tomorrow. We also signed our first US customer agreement for our software within Advanced Reactors (AMR).
- During the quarter allotment was made under the company's long-term performance-based share programme LTIP 2026/2029.
