Solar A/S: No. 4 2026 Notice of annual general meeting

Solar A/S: No. 4 2026 Notice of annual general meeting

The Annual General Meeting of Solar A/S will be held on Friday, 13 March 2026, at 11.00 am, at the address Industrivej Vest 43, 6600 Vejen, Denmark.

The general meeting will be broadcast by video webcast at www.solar.eu to shareholders on record in the company’s register of shareholders.

The agenda of the general meeting is as follows:

1. The Board of Directors’ report on the company’s activities during the past financial year.

2. Presentation and approval of the annual report with audited financial statements
The Board of Directors proposes that the 2025 annual report be approved.

3. Resolution on the allocation of profits in accordance with the approved annual report
The Board of Directors recommends to the Annual General Meeting that no dividend be paid for the financial year 2025.

Justification:
In the autumn of 2025, Solar entered into an agreement to acquire the strategically important Sonepar Norge and therefore made use of the mandate stipulated in the Articles of Association to carry out a capital increase through new issues of B shares. The capital increase was successfully completed and provided the company with net proceeds of DKK 120 million. In addition, Solar's gearing at the end of 2025 amounted to 3.2x EBITDA, which is above the company's target of a gearing of 1.5–3.0x EBITDA.

4. Indicative vote on approval of remuneration report
Indicative vote on the remuneration report prepared by the Board of Directors on the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Board in 2025.

5. Approval of the remuneration of the Board of Directors for the current financial year
The Board of Directors proposes that the fixed remuneration to the Board of Directors for 2026 is unchanged at DKK 200,000.

The chair of the Board of Directors receives triple the remuneration, while the vice chair of the Board of Directors and the chair of the Audit Committee receive 1½ times the remuneration for their extended Board duties.

In accordance with the framework set out in the remuneration policy, it is also proposed that that members of the Board of Directors in addition to the fixed fee receive DKK 15,000 for each physical board meeting or committee meeting that they attend, and DKK 7,500 for each virtual board meeting or committee meeting that they attend. The chair of the Board of Directors will receive double the meeting fee, while the vice chair of the Board of Directors will receive 1½ times the meeting fee for each ordinary Board of Directors’ meeting they attend.

6. Election of members to the Board of Directors
The Nomination Committee proposes a temporary expansion of the Board of Directors by election of Ulrich Liedtke and re-election of the current six members of the Board of Directors: Michael Troensegaard Andersen, Jesper Dalsgaard, Louise Knauer Baroudy, Peter Bang, Morten Chrone and Katrine Borum.

Please see the attached appendix 2 prepared by the Nomination Committee for details of the proposed candidates.

7. Election of auditor
In line with the Audit Committee’s recommendation, the Board of Directors proposes that Deloitte, Statsautoriseret Revisionspartnerselskab, CVR 33 96 35 56, be re-elected as company auditor. Furthermore, it is proposed that Deloitte Statsautoriseret Revisionspartnerselskab also be re-elected as sustainability auditor. The Audit Committee has not been influenced by third parties and is not subject to any agreements with third parties that limits the general meeting’s election to certain auditors or audit firms.

8. The Board of Directors’ proposals:
8.1 Authorisation to distribute extraordinary dividends
The Board of Directors proposes that the company’s Board of Directors be authorised in the period up until the next Annual General Meeting to resolve on the distribution of an extraordinary dividend of up to DKK 50.00 per share.

8.2 Authorisation to acquire own shares
The Board of Directors further proposes that the company’s Board of Directors be authorised in the period until the next Annual General Meeting to allow the company to acquire own shares for consideration. It is proposed that the authorisation be granted for the acquisition of up to 10% of the share capital, and in such a manner that the consideration does not deviate by more than 10% from the latest quoted market price for the company’s class B shares at the time of acquisition.

8.3 Authorisation to increase the share capital
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorises the Board of Directors to increase the share capital by subscription of new B shares of one or more times by up to a nominal amount of DKK 71,060,000. The increase can be made both by cash payment and by payment in any other way. The capital increase may be made as a direct placement at market price to investors or as a pre-emption right to all of the company's shareholders. The authorisation is valid for a period until 15 March 2028. The authorisation is proposed to be included in Article 9 of the Articles of Association. Proposed changes to the Articles of Association are attached in mark-up as appendix 3.

9. Authorisation to the chair of the meeting
The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting authorises the chair (with a right of substitution) to register with the Danish Business Authority the reportable resolutions adopted by the general meeting and to make such amendments to the documents prepared in connection with these resolutions as may be required by the Danish Business Authority in order to register these resolutions.
