The purpose of the repurchase is to ensure future delivery of shares to the participants in Boliden's long-term share saving programme (LTIP 2023/2026) as resolved by the Annual General Meeting 2023.

The repurchase of shares will be carried out in accordance with the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 ("MAR") and the European Commission's Delegated Regulation (EU) No 2016/1052 (the "Safe Harbour Regulation").

3. A maximum of 40,000 shares in the Company may be repurchased for a total amount of up to SEK 13.2 million in order to ensure delivery of shares to participants in the Programme. However, the company's holding of shares may not at any time exceed 10 per cent of all shares in the company.
4. Repurchases may only be made in compliance with the volume restrictions for the purchase of treasury shares as set out in the Rulebook and in the Safe Harbour Regulation. Repurchases may only be made at a price per share within the price interval applicable from time to time on Nasdaq Stockholm, i.e. the interval between the highest buying price and the lowest selling price on Nasdaq Stockholm from time to time and, in addition, the price restrictions in the Safe Harbour Regulation shall be observed.
