Lindex Group Oyj Revises Earnings Guidance for the Year 2025 Lindex Group Oyj revised earnings guidance for the year 2025. In 2025, Lindex Group expects its revenue to increase by 0%-2% in local currencies compared to 2024 against previous guidance for 2025 (published on 7 February 2025): revenue to increase by 0%-4% in local currencies compared to 2024. The macroeconomic situation in Lindex Group's main markets has been volatile throughout the year as continuing geopolitical uncertainty, together with the risks for global trade disturbances, have slowed down the economic recovery. Despite lower interest rates and decreased inflation, GDP (Gross Domestic Product) growth forecasts for 2025 have remained very cautious. However, consumer confidence shows some signs of gradual improvement, which, together with increasing household purchasing power, may support a more favourable development in consumer demand during the remaining part of the year. The situation may still vary across the Group's different markets, and disruptions in supply chains and international logistics during the year cannot be excluded. お知らせ • Jul 18

Helsinki District Court Approves Lindex Group Plc's Application for the Amendment of the Restructuring Programme - the Group's Strategic Assessment Continues On 9 June 2025, Lindex Group plc announced the settlement of the last dispute related to its restructuring programme. This enabled the Group to seek an amendment to the restructuring programme in the Helsinki District Court in accordance with the settlement, and to commence the process to end the restructuring programme.

Lindex Group will therefore proceed to fulfil the obligations agreed in the settlement agreement and the restructuring programme.

Lindex Group Settles the Last Dispute Related to the Restructuring Process and Will Seek to End the Restructuring Programme Lindex Group plc settled the remaining dispute related to its restructuring process with LähiTapiola Keskustakiinteistöt Ky. The dispute comprised two separate claims between Lindex Group plc and its subsidiaries and LähiTapiola Keskustakiinteistöt Ky and related to the amount of damages to be paid for the termination of the lease agreement for Stockmann's department store in Tapiola. The compensation to be paid is considered as restructuring debt. Lindex Group has in 2022 made a provision of EUR 15.9 million of the disputed claims in question. The settlement of the disputes will not impact Lindex Group's adjusted operating result but will have a positive impact on Lindex Group's operating result. After the settlement, all undisputed debts, confirmed in their final amounts, will be duly paid as part of the restructuring process. The settlement enables Lindex Group plc to seek ending the restructuring programme. This process will be started in cooperation with the supervisor of the restructuring programme by preparing an application to amend the restructuring programme as soon as possible. The restructuring debts will be paid after Helsinki District Court's decision concerning the amendments to the restructuring programme is final. The supervisor has informed Lindex Group that after the restructuring debts have been paid a final report on the implementation of the programme, ending the restructuring, will be presented. Following the settlement between Lindex Group and LähiTapiola Keskustakiinteistöt Ky, Lindex Group's Board of Directors will review the impact it will have on the Group's strategic assessment, which the Board previously announced in September 2023.

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 2.0% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 17% per year for the foreseeable future.

the Supreme Court Passes Its Decision in Dispute Between Pirkanmaan Osuuskauppa and STOCKMANN plc A decision of the Supreme Court has been received regarding a lawsuit between STOCKMANN plc and Pirkanmaan Osuuskauppa regarding damages for the termination of the lease of a business premises located in the Tampere department store. In its decision, the Supreme Court rejected Pirkanmaan Osuuskauppa's appeal and stated that Pirkanmaan Osuuskauppa's claim for damages based on the premature termination of the subtenancy relation is restructuring debt pursuant to the Restructuring Act, which was also the position of the Helsinki District Court, the Helsinki Court of Appeal and the supervisor, Attorney Jyrki Tähtinen. Pirkanmaan Osuuskauppa, the former subtenant of the Tampere department store, appealed regarding the decision of Helsinki District Court on 9 February 2021 to certify Stockmann’s restructuring programme to the extent that Helsinki District Court viewed that the damages payable to Pirkanmaan Osuuskauppa are restructuring debt instead of debt that has arisen after the application for restructuring proceedings came into force pursuant to section 32 of the Restructuring Act. The Helsinki Court of Appeal rejected Pirkanmaan Osuuskauppa’s appeal in its court decision on 4 November 2021. According to the Supreme Court's decision announced today, Pirkanmaan Osuuskauppa's claim for damages, EUR 1.5 million, from Stockmann is a reconstructing debt to be taken into account in Stockmann's corporate restructuring pursuant to section 27 subsection 1 and 4 of the Restructuring Act, and there is therefore no reason to change the outcome of the Helsinki Court of Appeal previous decision.
