The AGM resolved to re-elect Ernst & Young AB as public audit firm for the period until the end of the AGM 2024. It is Ernst & Young AB’s intention to appoint Oskar Wall as auditor in charge.
Nomination Committee
The AGM resolved that the Nomination Committee for the AGM 2024 shall be appointed in accordance with the same procedure as the preceding year, and to adopt instructions for the Nomination Committee.
Implementation of a Warrant program for certain Board Members 2023/2027 II
The AGM resolved to implement the Warrant program 2023/2027 II for Board Members David Bejker, Denise Goode and Jan Törnell through a directed issue of not more than 4,500,000 warrants. The participants shall have the right to subscribe for a maximum of 1,500,000 warrants per person.
The warrants shall be issued at market price. The valuation of the warrants shall be made with application of the Black & Scholes formula, based on a subscription price when exercising the warrants of 250 per cent of the volume weighted average price for the Company’s share from 20 April 2023 up to and including 5 May 2023. The valuation shall be made by an independent valuation institute. A preliminary valuation indicates a value of SEK 0.05 per warrant.
Each warrant confers the holder a right to subscribe for one (1) new share in the Company against an exercise price corresponding to 250 per cent of the volume weighted average price for the Company’s shares during the period from 20 April 2023 up to and including 5 May 2023. The subscription price shall never be less than the quota value of the share. Upon subscription of shares, the part of the subscription price that exceeds the quotient value at the time of the then outstanding shares, shall be allocated to the nonrestricted share premium fund.
The warrants may be exercised for subscription of new shares during the time period from 1 June 2027 up to and including 31 December 2027.
If all warrants issued within Warrant Program for certain Board Members 2023/2027 II are exercised for subscription of shares, the number of shares and votes in the Company will increase with 4,500,000 (with reservation for any recalculation in accordance with the Terms and Conditions for warrants 2023/2027:4 in Abliva AB), which corresponds to a dilution of approximately 0.43 per cent of the number of shares and votes in the Company.
Authorization for the Board of Directors to decide on new issue of shares, warrants and/or convertibles
The AGM resolved to authorize the Board of Directors to decide on new issue of shares, warrants and/or convertibles, within the limits of the current Articles of Association, with or without waiving the preferential rights of shareholders on one or more occasions in the period until the next Annual General Meeting.
The issues should be at market subscription price, subject to reservation for a market discount where applicable, and apart from cash, payment may be as assets contributed in kind or through offset or subject to other terms and conditions.
The purpose of this authorization and the rationale for eventual waiving of shareholders' preferential rights, should be to raise working capital for the Company and/or to add new owners of strategic importance to the Company and/or acquisitions of other companies or operations.
