The board of directors may resolve on issues of shares, convertibles and warrants with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights. If the board of directors resolves on an issue with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, the reason for the deviation shall be to (a) increase the company’s financial flexibility or (b) use the shares, convertibles or warrants as consideration (including earn-out consideration) for, or the financing of, acquisitions of companies or businesses. Issued shares, convertibles and warrants may be paid in cash, in kind or by set-off.

Item 18: Resolution on authorisation for the board of directors to resolve on acquisitions and transfers of own shares

Transfers of own shares on Nasdaq Stockholm may only be made at a price per share within the at each time prevailing price interval for the share on Nasdaq Stockholm. Transfers of own shares by other means than on Nasdaq Stockholm shall be made at market terms, meaning that a market discount compared to the price of the share on Nasdaq Stockholm may be applied. Payment for own shares transferred by other means than on Nasdaq Stockholm may be made in cash, in kind or by set-off. Transfers of own shares by other means than on Nasdaq Stockholm may be made with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights.

Item 19: Resolution on implementation of a long-term incentive program consisting of warrants

The incentive program in brief
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to establish an incentive program under which the company offers employees within the group to acquire warrants in the company. The right to acquire warrants shall be granted to members of the extended senior management and key employees within the Instalco group as well as CEOs and key employees in subsidiaries.

The board of directors’ proposal means that the general meeting, in one joint resolution, resolves (i) on the establishment of an incentive program, (ii) on a directed issue of not more than 2,350,000 warrants to the company and (iii) to approve that the company transfers warrants to the participants in the incentive program.

The proposal aims to create conditions for strengthening the motivation of employees whom the group has identified as significant and trusted in the short and long term. The board of directors considers that an incentive program following the presented proposal is to the benefit of both the group and the company’s shareholders.

Issue of warrants 2024
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves on a directed issue of a maximum of 2,350,000 warrants, resulting in increased share capital with a maximum of SEK 7,050 upon full exercise of the warrants, subject to such re-calculation of the number of shares each warrant entitles subscription of that may be made in accordance with the complete terms and conditions for the warrants.

In addition, the following conditions shall apply to the decision.

1. The right to subscribe for the warrants shall, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, be given to the company.
2. The reasons for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights is to introduce an incentive program whereby employees, through their own investment, can take part in and promote a positive value development of the company’s share during the period of the proposed program, and that the company should be able to retain and recruit competent and dedicated staff.
3. The warrants shall be issued free of charge to the company.
4. Subscription of the warrants shall take place no later than 31 May 2024.
5. Each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one share in the company. The subscription of shares under the warrants may take place during the period from 24 May 2027 to 18 June 2027. The board of directors has the right to prolong the subscription period.
6. The subscription price per share shall be 115 per cent of the volume weighted average price of the company’s share during the period 13 May 2024 up to and including 17 May 2024. The subscription price may not be less than the quota value of the share. If the subscription price exceeds the quota value of the shares, the excess amount shall be transferred to the non-restricted statutory reserve (Sw. den fria överkursfonden).
7. Shares issued following subscription shall entitle holders thereof to participate in the distribution for dividends for the first time on the record date that occurs immediately following the subscription.

The board of directors’ complete proposal and the complete terms and conditions of the warrants will be available on the company’s website no later than three weeks prior to the annual general meeting. In accordance with the terms and conditions, the subscription price, as well as the number of shares that each warrant entitles to subscription of, may be recalculated in the event of, among other things, a new issue or a bonus issue.

Transfer of warrants
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting approves the company’s transfer of warrants on the following terms.

1. The right to acquire warrants from the company shall be granted to selected categories of employees within the group (the "Participants"). The Participants in the program shall be divided into two groups: group 1 and group 2. Group 1 shall consist of the extended senior management and key employees within the Instalco group. Group 2 shall consist of CEOs and other key employees in subsidiaries (approximately 250 persons in total). In line with the above, the board of directors shall decide which persons that are to be included in each group.
2. Participants included in group 1 may acquire up to 100,000 warrants each, but not more than 1,000,000 warrants may be allotted within the group. Participants included in group 2 may acquire up to 70,000 warrants each, but not more than 2,000,000 warrants may be allotted within the group. However, the total number of warrants that may be allotted within the program may not exceed 2,350,000 warrants.
3. Allotment will be based on performance within its area, experience and ability and will never exceed the maximum number of warrants per Participant and group listed above.
4. A Participant may acquire a lower number of warrants than is offered to the Participant. Any warrants that have not been subscribed for, or which are repurchased by the company following the pre-emption clause described in sub-section 7 below, should be reserved for future recruitment of employees in the company, whereby the guidelines for allocation stated above shall be applied. In such allotment, the price (premium) of the warrants shall correspond to the calculated market value of the warrants, calculated as below, at the time of the transfer.
5. The warrants shall be transferred on market terms at a price (premium) determined based on an estimated market value of the warrants using the Black & Scholes valuation model carried out by an independent valuation institution.
6. Any transfer of warrants to Participants shall be subject to that the acquisition of the warrants can legally take place and that, according to the board's assessment, such transfer can be made with reasonable administrative and financial efforts.
7. In connection with the transfer of warrants to the Participant, the company and the Participant shall sign an agreement containing a pre-emption clause in favour of the company. In short, the pre-emption clause entails that if the Participant wishes to transfer or otherwise sell the warrants to a third party, the Participant must first offer the company, or a person that the company designates, to repurchase the warrants. The warrants shall furthermore be subject to a right for the company, or the person that the company designates, to repurchase the warrants if a Participant's employment in or assignment for the group ceases during the term of the warrants.

Additional details on the warrant program

1. Dilution
   At full subscription with the support of all warrants, a maximum of 2,350,000 new shares may be issued, corresponding to a dilution of approximately 0.9 percent of both the current number of outstanding shares and the maximum number of additional shares from previous programs, however, subject to any re-calculation of the number of shares each warrant entitles subscription of.
2. Impact on key figures and costs for the company, etc.
   The company’s earnings per share will not be affected by the issue as the exercise price of the warrants exceeds the current market value of the share at the time of the issue. The company’s future earnings per share may be affected by the potential dilution effect of the warrants if the company reports both a positive result and the exercise price falls below market value.

The warrants will be transferred at market value and do not entail any social security contributions for the group in Sweden or Finland. In Norway, social security contributions for the group arise in connection with the possible exercise of the warrants, according to a percentage of currently 14.1 percent. In addition to this, no benefit will arise and thus no personnel costs for the company. The warrant program will entail certain limited costs in the form of external consulting fees and administration regarding the warrant program.

1. Calculation of the market value
   Svalner Tax & Transaction will calculate the market value of the warrants according to the Black & Scholes valuation model in connection with the first transfer of warrants to the Participants.
2. Preparation of the proposal
   The principles for the warrant program have been worked out by the company’s board of directors. The proposal has been prepared with the support of external advisors and after consultations with shareholders. The board has subsequently decided to present this proposal to the general meeting. Other than the officials who have prepared the question under instructions from the board, no employee who may be covered by the program participated in the design of the conditions.
3. Other incentive programs
   The annual general meeting 2022 resolved to implement an incentive program consisting of not more than 2,600,000 warrants of series 2022/2025 directed to members of the extended senior management and key employees within the group as well as CEOs and key employees in subsidiaries. Each warrant of series 2022/2025 entitles the holder to subscribe for one new share in the company. Subscription may take place between 22 May 2025 and 16 June 2025, or such earlier dates as determined by some circumstances as specified in the terms and conditions for the warrants.

The annual general meeting 2023 resolved to implement an additional incentive program consisting of not more than 2,350,000 warrants of series 2023/2026 directed to members of the extended senior management and key employees within the group as well as CEOs and key employees in subsidiaries. Each warrant of series 2023/2026 entitles the holder to subscribe for one new share in the company. Subscription may take place between 22 May 2026 and 16 June 2026, or such earlier dates as determined by some circumstances as specified in the terms and conditions for the warrants.

The complete terms and conditions for the warrants of series 2022/2025 and warrants of series 2023/2026 are available at the company’s website, www.instalco.se.
