The nomination committee’s complete proposal for resolutions will be presented no later than the day before the annual general meeting.
Item 14 - Resolution on employee stock option program for the CEO
The board proposes that the general meeting of shareholders resolves on (A) the introduction of employee stock option program 2026/2029 ("Program 2026/2029") for the Company’s CEO and group president, (B) a directed issue of warrants to the Company, in order to ensure the Company’s delivery of shares according to the program and to cover any cash flow effects from social costs and (C) approval of transfer of warrants or shares in the Company to the participant in the employee stock option program. Resolutions according to A, B, and C above must be made as one resolution and are thus conditional on each other.
The board considers that it is in all shareholders’ interest that the Company’s CEO and group president has a strong incentive to contribute to the Company's development and increase in value. A personal long-term ownership commitment can be expected to raise the CEO's motivation to achieve or exceed the Company's strategic and operational goals. Program 2026/2029 forms part of the overall terms of employment agreed with the CEO. However, pursuant to applicable law, the implementation of the program requires a resolution by the general meeting of shareholders.
Employee stock option program 2026/2029 is proposed to comprise 20,000,000 employee stock options that can be granted to the Company’s CEO, directly or to a company wholly-owned by the Company's CEO. In addition, it is proposed that 22,500,000 warrants be issued to enable exercise and delivery of shares upon option exercise and to cover any cash flow effects as a result of potential social security costs.
The maximum dilution effect of employee stock option program 2026/2029 is estimated to approximately 1.9 per cent of the share capital and the votes in the Company (calculated based on the number of existing shares in the Company at the time of the notice), provided full exercise of all employee stock options and warrants issued to cover cash flow effects.
This proposal was prepared by the board in consultation with external counsel.
A. Program 2026/2029
The board proposes that the general meeting of shareholders resolves on the introduction of Program 2026/2029 on the following main terms and conditions.
- Program 2026/2029 shall include not more than 20,000,000 employee stock options.
- The employee stock options shall be assigned to the program participant free of charge.
- At the expiry of three years, each employee stock option shall entitle the holder to acquire one (1) new share in the Company at an exercise price corresponding to 100 per cent of the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s share according to Nasdaq First North Growth Market’s price list during the period twenty (20) trading days before 17 June 2026. The subscription price can, however, in no case be less than the quota value. The CEO may exercise allotted and vested employee stock options during the period from 17 June 2029 to 31 December 2029.
- Allocated employee stock options vest over one year as follows:
a) Half (1/2) vest immediately upon allocation,
b) All employee stock options are vested one year after allocation.
The reason for the chosen vesting schedule is that the program is directed exclusively at the Company's CEO and group president, whose continued employment is dependent on the board's confidence and whose employee stock options lapse if the employment is terminated. In addition, the employee stock options may not be exercised until three years after allocation, which ensures the participant's long-term interest in the Company's value development throughout the period. However, if the board deems it appropriate for commercial reasons, the board may decide to deviate from the schedule above. - Offering of employee stock options shall be decided by the Company’s board of directors and offered to Acarix AB’s CEO and group president, directly or to a company wholly-owned by the Company's CEO.
- The employee stock options may be exercised to subscribe for shares in the Company in accordance with the terms of the employee stock options. No mandatory performance conditions are imposed as a prerequisite for exercise. The reason for this is that the program is directed exclusively at the Company's CEO and group president, whose continued employment is dependent on the Company's and the board's confidence in the CEO's performance and whose employee stock options lapse if the employment is terminated.
- The right to participate in Program 2026/2029 is conditional on the participant entering into an option agreement with the Company.
- Issued employee stock options do not constitute securities and may not be transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by the holder.
- The employee stock options are tied to the participant's role as CEO in the Company. As a general rule, all employee stock options that have not been exercised for share subscription expire if the employment with the Company is terminated. However, already vested employee stock options may be retained by the participant, unless the termination is due to circumstances that can be equated with gross negligence, willful misconduct, disloyal behavior or other material breach of contract. In the event of the participant's death, the right to vested employee stock options may pass to the deceased's legal heirs. Any employee stock options not yet vested at the time of the participant's death shall lapse.
- The Board may decide to derogate from this general rule in individual cases, for example by allowing the participant to keep some or all of the employee stock options in other situations.
- If the general meeting (or the board with the support of authorization) during the term of the employee stock options decides on a change in the number of shares in the company (such as a consolidation or split or a new issuance of securities), the board may review the terms of the employee stock options and—if deemed appropriate and expedient to maintain the incentive function of the options—make amendments to the terms (which, however, must not be to the detriment of the participant). The board also has the corresponding ability to review and amend the terms of the employee stock options if it is deemed appropriate and expedient for other reasons to maintain the incentive function of the options.
- The board or a person designated by the board shall be responsible for the design and management of Program 2026/2029 within the main terms and guidelines set out above. The board of directors is entitled, within the framework of the agreement with the CEO, to make reasonable changes and adjustments to the terms and conditions of the employee stock options that are deemed appropriate or expedient as a result of local labor law or tax law rules or administrative conditions. This may mean, among other things, that continued vesting of stock options may occur in certain cases where this would not otherwise have been the case. The Board of Directors also has the right to accelerate the vesting and exercise of employee stock options in certain cases, such as in the event of a public takeover bid, certain changes in the ownership of the company, liquidation, merger and similar measures. Finally, the Board of Directors is entitled, in extraordinary cases, to limit the scope of or prematurely terminate Program 2026/2029, in whole or in part.
- Participation in Program 2026/2029 requires, on the one hand, that such participation may lawfully be made, and, on the other hand, that such participation according to the Company's assessment can be made with reasonable administrative costs and financial efforts.
B. Directed issue of warrants to the Company
To enable the Company's delivery of shares under Program 2026/2029 and to cover cash flow effects from potential social security costs arising from the program, the board of directors proposes that the general meeting of shareholders resolves on a directed issue of 22,500,000 warrants, out of which 2,500,000 warrants are proposed to be issued to cover cash flow effects from potential social security costs arising from Program 2026/2029, according to the following terms.- The right to subscribe for the warrants shall, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, apply to the Company. Oversubscription cannot occur.
- The reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights is that the issue is a step in the introduction of Program 2026/2029, and to cover cash flow effects from potential social security costs arising from the program.
- The warrants are issued free of charge.
- Subscription of warrants shall be made within three weeks from the date of the issue decision. The board has the right to extend the subscription period.
- The increase of the Company’s share capital may, upon full exercise of the warrants, amount to SEK 225,000.
- The warrants can be exercised through the application for subscription of new shares during the period from registration at the Swedish Companies Registration Office up to and including 31 December 2029.
- The subscription price for the share on exercise of the warrants is SEK 0.01 (corresponding to the quota value of the share).
- The board of directors, or a person designated by the board, is authorised to make minor adjustments that are required for the registration and execution of the decision.
The complete terms and conditions for the warrants are set out in “Terms and conditions of warrants of series (2026/2029) to subscribe for new shares in Acarix AB (publ)”. In the terms and conditions, it is stated that the subscription price, as well as the number of new shares to which each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe, may be recalculated in certain cases.
C. Approval of the transfer of warrants or shares in the Company
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting of shareholders resolves to approve (i) that the Company may transfer 20,000,000 warrants or shares in the Company to the participant in Program 2026/2029, or to a company wholly-owned by the participant, or otherwise dispose of the warrants to secure the Company's commitments in connection with the program in connection with the participant in the program being entitled to exercise his or her employee stock options for subscription of new shares, and (ii) that the Company may dispose of 2,500,000 warrants to cover potential cash flow effects from social security costs in accordance with the terms of the program.
Costs for Program 2026/2029
The costs for Program 2026/2029, which are recognized in the income statement, are calculated in accordance with the accounting standard IFRS 2 and are accrued on a straight-line basis over the three-year vesting period. The calculation has been performed with the following assumptions: (i) a share price for the Company’s share of SEK 0.26 at the start of the vesting period, (ii) an assessment of future volatility regarding the Company's share, (iii) full exercise of the employee stock options, (iv) an annual staff turnover of 10 percent based on the Company's history. In total, this may result in a maximum cost of the program of approximately SEK 2,800,000 excluding social security costs. The costs for outgoing social security contributions are estimated to amount to approximately SEK 600,000 at an assumed annual increase of the share price of 10 per cent during the period until the warrants are expected to be exercised to subscribe for new shares.
It is proposed that the Company's entire social security costs be covered by a directed issue of warrants in accordance with item B.
It should be noted that all calculations above are preliminary, based on assumptions and are only intended to provide an illustration of the costs that Program 2026/2029 may entail. Actual costs may therefore differ from those set out above.
Costs in the form of fees to external advisors and costs for administration of Program 2026/2029 are estimated to amount to approximately SEK 50,000.
Existing long-term incentive programs in the Company
A description of existing programs in the Company can be found below at the end of this notice under a separate heading.
Item 15 – Resolution on a general authorization
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting authorizes the board of directors to, on one or more occasions during the period until the next annual general meeting, resolve to increase the Company's share capital by an amount corresponding to not more than twenty (20) per cent of the Company's registered share capital at the time the authorization is first exercised. The board of directors shall be entitled to resolve on the issuance of shares, warrants and/or convertible loans with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights. New issuances may be made with or without provisions regarding contribution in kind, set-off or other conditions pursuant to the Swedish Companies Act.
The board of directors shall be entitled to determine the terms and conditions for issuances pursuant to this authorization and who shall be entitled to subscribe for the securities issued. The terms shall be on market conditions. The purpose of the authorization is to provide the board of directors with the ability to issue securities in connection with, for example, acquisitions or the entering into of collaboration agreements, and to provide the board of directors with flexibility in its efforts to ensure that the Company can be provided with capital in an appropriate manner for the financing of the Company's continued operations and to enable a broadening of the Company's shareholder base.
The CEO, or any person designated by the board of directors, is authorized to make such minor adjustments to this resolution as may be necessary in connection with the registration thereof.
