STOCKHOLM, March 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Board of EQT AB («EQT») has resolved to repurchase a maximum of 3,005,071 own ordinary shares. Repurchases may be made during the period 4 March – 8 May 2026.

The resolution is made by virtue of the authorization granted by the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting held on 27 May 2025 to repurchase own shares.
A maximum of 3,005,071 ordinary shares (0.25% of EQT’s share capital) are to be repurchased, and the total maximum amount is SEK 2,500,000,000.
The repurchase corresponds to approximately SEK 842m based on the closing price for EQT’s share on Nasdaq Stockholm on 27 February 20261.
Repurchases may be made during the period 4 March – 8 May, 2026.
As previously communicated, EQT expects to execute share buyback programs twice a year to offset – over time – the dilution impact from shares delivered to EQT’s employees under its Share and Option incentive programs.
Together with the share buyback program completed in September 2025, the buyback corresponds to the maximum potential dilution for the 2025 Share and Option incentive programs.
