Dividend proposal

The Management Board of LHV Group proposes that the Annual General Meeting
distribute the profit for 2022 as follows:

  * to pay dividends of EUR 0.04 per share, for a total amount of EUR 12.617
    million; the income tax payable on dividends would be EUR 3.154 million;
  * to add the profit of the reporting period attributable to shareholders of
    the parent company, in the amount of EUR 45.702 million, to profits brought
    forward;
  * to transfer EUR 0 to the legal reserve.

The list of shareholders entitled to dividends will be fixed as at the close of
business of the Nasdaq CSD settlement system on 05 April 2023. Consequently, the

04 April 2023. From this day onwards, a person acquiring the shares will not
have the right to receive dividends for the financial year 2022. Dividends will
