The board has called an extra general meeting on 27 November 2026 to elect Sven Thorén, an experienced financier, as new chairman, and to seek a mandate to buy back own shares on Nasdaq First North once the new Swedish law takes effect on 5 December 2026. A genuine buyback authorisation is a mild positive signal for the share, but no buyback size or budget is stated, and the board change is a routine governance item.
