Kemira's Board of Directors has decided to commence a new repurchase of Kemira's own shares ("buyback program") on the basis of the authorization given by the Annual General Meeting held on March 20, 2025. The purpose of the buyback program is to further optimize Kemira's capital structure and to serve the interests of the company's diverse shareholder base.

Despite launching the buyback program, Kemira's dividend policy and key strategic priorities remain unchanged. Kemira continues to pay an attractive and over-time increasing dividend. The company's strong balance sheet enables investments in both organic and inorganic growth, and   Kemira continues to actively look for small-to-mid-sized acquisitions, particularly in Water Solutions.

The main terms of the buyback program are:

- The maximum number of shares to be repurchased is 5,000,000 corresponding to approximately 3.3% of the total number of shares. The maximum monetary amount to be used for the program is EUR 100 million.

- The shares will be repurchased in public trading on Nasdaq Helsinki otherwise than in proportion to the existing shareholdings of Kemira's shareholders, at the market price quoted at the time of purchase on Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd, using the Company's non-restricted shareholders' equity.

- The share buyback program shall commence on February 13, 2026, at the earliest, and end by September 20, 2026, at the latest. Repurchased shares will be cancelled after the program has ended.

Repurchases will be carried out in accordance with the so-called safe harbor rules referred to in Article 5 of the EU Market Abuse Regulation (EU N:o 596/2014). Kemira has appointed a third-party broker as the lead manager for the buyback program. The broker will make trading decisions independently, without influence from Kemira.

This is the second share buyback program based on the authorization given by the Annual General Meeting 2025. The first program was conducted between July 22, 2025 and December 16, 2025. During this program Kemira repurchased a total of 5,000,000 own shares. Kemira cancelled the shares after the completion of the program, and currently holds 896,004 treasury shares. The total number of Kemira's shares is 150,342,557.
