It was aLso a year where we cLearLy saw shifts in consumer behaviour, particuLarLy impacting KICKS. This has sharpened our focus and acceLerated our pLans. ‌Letter to the sharehoLders Dear shareholders, On behalf of the Remuneration Committee, I am pleased to present the Remuneration Report 2025/26. At the 2025 Annual General Meeting, our Remuneration Report 2024/25 received 95.26% of votes in favour. This result did not give reason for any changes. 2025/26 marked another year of sales growth and improved free cash flow for the Group. Revenue grew 3.5% currency neutral and the EBITDA margin was 14.1%, impacted by foreign exchange rates. The past year, we continued to strengthen our position through a broader assortment, growing online presence and high customer engagement across all markets. Our scale, strong customer relationships and omnichannel model provide us with a solid foundation - and we remain firmly on track in our ambition to Win the Nordics. At the same time, the year was marked by a shift in consumer behaviour. We saw increasing price sensitivity, with some customers trading down - particularly within high-end beauty. This had a more visible impact on KICKS, where high-end categories account for ~75% of the business. However, our long-term ambition to Win the Nordics remains unchanged: To become the leading beauty and wellbeing player across all Nordic markets, all channels and core categories. The market remains attractive, and we continue to see significant opportunities to grow - by improving the customer experience, strengthening our position across channels and expanding into more categories. What has changed over the past year is not our direction, but our pace. We are accelerating our strategy with a clear focus on faster execution and delivering results. Matas Group's remuneration framework is designed to align the interests of the Executive Committee and the Company's shareholders and thus to support the achievement of Matas Group's short- Remuneration Report 2025/26 3 term and long-term strategic goals and to stimulate value creation. The remuneration must also ensure Matas Group's ability to attract, motivate and retain competent managers, which is crucial to the execution of the Company's strategy. The remuneration of other members of Matas' executive team is based on the same principles designed to attract, motivate and retain skilled employees and ensure a strong focus on value creation and strategic progress. Group CEO Gregers Wedell-Wedellsborg resigned on 27 August 2025, and Group CFO Per Johannesen Madsen also assumed the role as Interim Group CEO as of 15 November 2025. The Nomination Committee completed the recruitment process by appointing Mette Uglebjerg as the new Group CEO of Matas Group as of 15 April 2026. An in-dept benchmark was conducted during the search in order to evaluate the remuneration packages for the Executive Committee going forward. The Remuneration Committee has reviewed and designed the Short-Term Incentive Programme (STIP) and Long-Term Incentive Programme (LTIP) performance targets. All changes and adjustments have been approved by the Board of Directors. The most recent Remuneration Policy was adopted by the Company's shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 19 June 2024 and is available at matasgroup.com/governance/policies/ → On behalf of the Board of Directors, I ask for your support of our remuneration resolutions at our Annual General Meeting in June 2026.

The criteria for maximum payout on STIP and LTIP were similar to last year. In 2025/26, total remuneration to the Group CEO amounted to DKK 14 million (7.5 months) and to the Group CFO DKK 12 million compared to DKK 19 million and DKK 10 million, respectively, in 2024/25. The Group CFO remuneration included an incremental adjustment to base salary during the period as Interim Group CEO. Variable pay targets 5-year development - 2021/22 Index 100 Group CEO ordinary remuneration including variable pay Group CEO base fixed salary Revenue EBITDA before special items Index 200 190 180 170 160 150 140 130 120 110 100 2021/22 2022/23 2023/24 2024/25 2025/26 The overall objectives of the STIP and LTIP are to motivate, retain and reward Management for strong performance and good execution throughout the financial year and to link Management and shareholder interests. A high degree of the remuneration to the Executive Committee is variable, pursuant to the Remuneration Policy. STIP The Board of Directors awards STIP to reward and acknowledge both results and effort for the financial year. The Board of Directors selected the following objective criteria for 2025/26 (70% share of STIP): EBITDA before special items (e.g. integration costs) Organic topline growth Inventory management Realisation of synergies Improvement of Matas Group's SBTi-validated Scope 1 and Scope 2 emission reduction targets Discretionary criteria were linked to the continued focus on high employee engagement and satisfaction, and execution of the strategy in a challenging year, which also included a Group CEO transition. The discretionary criteria accounted for 30% share of STIP. LTIP The purpose of the LTIP is to incentivise performance, ensure commitment and retention as well ensuring alignment between Management and shareholder interests. The LTIP targets are set on the basis of the current short-term and long-term guidance and/or an updated strategic financial forecast. When setting the targets, the Board of Directors ensures that the LTIP serves the goal of retaining and motivating Management. Thus, calibrating the target setting on a fair and balanced assessment of the overall market conditions, volatility, and outlook. In line with previous practice, the targets for the LTIP 2025 were set as the three years' accumulated results for the Group, reflecting the "Win the Nordics" strategy and long-term guidance: Revenues - topline growth (50%) EBITDA before special items (50%) ‌Board of Directors' remuneration The remuneration to the Board of Directors in 2025/26 was paid in accordance with the Remuneration Policy.

The fixed base salary is the key component of the remuneration package. The STIP rewards short-term results, while the LTIP covering a period of three years rewards longterm value creation and retention. The fixed base salary paid to the members of the Executive Committee consists of a fixed salary a pension contribution other customary employee benefits The variable remuneration paid to the members of the Executive Committee consists of STIP in the form of an annual cash bonus determined on the basis of the Company's financial results, sustainability targets, realisation of synergies, inventory management and discretionary objectives LTIP in the form of Performance Share Units (PSUs) based on Matas Group's performance for a three-year period. The combination of fixed and variable remuneration helps to align the interests of shareholders and the Executive Committee. It is intended to reward individual effort and performance and ensure that the aggregate remuneration paid to each member of the Executive Committee is in line with market practice of comparable companies. In exceptional cases, the Remuneration Policy allows for the granting of a cash or share-based bonus of up to 150% of each member's fixed salary. Salary review 2025 The Remuneration Committee obtained an update on the benchmark for the Executive Committee in connection with the recruitment of Mette Uglebjerg, new Group CEO. The Remuneration Committee was supported by an independent and well-reputed external advisor. The Remuneration Committee recommended an inflation-level adjustment of the Group CEO and Group CFO in 2025. For both the Group CEO and the Group CFO, maximum STIP potential and LTIP grant levels are set at 100% in accordance with the limits in the Remuneration Policy. Matas A/S may terminate an employment relationship with a member of the Executive Committee by giving up to 24 months' notice. A member of the Executive Committee may terminate the employment relationship by giving at least 6 months' notice. Termination benefits cannot exceed the aggregate compensation paid to the member of the Executive Committee during the last 24 months. ‌Remuneration mix for the Executive Committee The Board of Directors finds it important that a significant part of the remuneration package consists of variable components to ensure consistency between the Company's perfor- mance and the remuneration of the members of the Executive Committee. STIP maximum payout is set at 100% of the annual fixed salary. Achievement of 100% payout requires overperformance against budgets and/or forecasts. The LTIP in the form of granted PSUs is set at 100% of the annual fixed salary for the Executive Committee. The PSUs are subject to a three-year vesting period, and the vesting may range from 75% to 150% of the original granted PSUs. Maximum grant of shares will only be carried out in case of overperformance against the three-year targets. The vesting principles apply for all participants in the LTIP programme. The level of grant as a percentage of salary varies depending on position and tenure with Matas Group.

The table provides an overview of the total compensation granted to the Executive Committee for the financial year 2025/26. The decrease in the remuneration to the Executive Committee is linked to the Group CEO resignation as of 15 November 2025 (7.5 months of compensa- tion), as well as lower payout on the STIP compared to last year. Interim Group CEO salary adjustment The salary of the Group CFO was adjusted to reflect the increased responsibility, when also taking on the role as Interim Group CEO from November 2025 and onwards. STIP Through the participation in the STIP, each member of the Executive Committee may qualify for a short-term cash bonus if certain annual targets defined by the Board of Directors and supporting the long-term execution of the strategy are met. Under the Remuneration Policy, the total STIP bonus may amount to up to 100% of each member's fixed base salary exclusive of pension contributions at the date of grant, and the targets to be met to qualify for the bonus are related to the Company's financial performance and the achievement of specific discretionary targets. To be eligible for STIP bonus, certain minimum targets must be met, and bonus is paid once a year in proportion to the targets achieved.

STIP For the financial year 2025/26, the STIP was based on the achievement of defined financial performance targets, including EBITDA before special items (currency neutral), revenue growth (like-for-like), realisation of synergies from the acquisition of KICKS Group, inventory management and ESG measures, and a number of discretionary criteria agreed for the Executive Committee. The Company had made significant progress on ESG initiatives in the year in line with the SBTi commitment.

The Group CEO STIP in 2025/26 is based upon the 7.5 months and the Group CFO STIP is calculated based upon salary including the additional salary during the Interim Group CEO period. LTIP The purpose of the LTIP is to incentivise performance, ensure commitment and retention of the Executive Committee. The members of the Executive Committee may qualify for a share-based bonus if targets directly related to the execution of the Matas Group strategy are met. Under the Remuneration Policy, each member of the Executive Committee may qualify for Performance Share Units (PSUs) of an amount not to exceed 100% of the fixed base salary exclusive of pension contributions at the date of grant. The PSUs are granted as a percentage of the fixed salary at a value corresponding to the official share prices. LTIP 2025 The LTIP 2025 provided for a target grant of 162,714 shares (maximum 244,071) to Matas Groups' Executive Committee and other senior executives within the Group, subject to fulfilment of performance conditions.

As part of our examination, we checked whether the remuneration report contains the information required under section 139 b, subsection 3 of the Danish Companies Act, number 1 - 6, on the remuneration of each individual member of the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors. We believe that the procedures performed provide a sufficient basis for our conclusion. Our examinations have not included procedures to verify the accuracy and completeness of the information provided in the remuneration report, and therefore we do not express any conclusion in this regard. Conclusion In our opinion the remuneration report, in all material respects, contains the information required under the Danish Companies Act, section 139 b, subsection 3.
