Item 11 – Establishment of a nomination committee and adoption of instructions for the nomination committee
The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to establish a nomination committee for the annual general meeting 2025 in accordance with the principles set out below.
The general meeting instructs the chairman of the board to contact the three largest shareholders in terms of votes according to Euroclear Sweden AB's printout of the share register as of 30 September 2024, who each appoint a member of the nomination committee. In the event that any of the three largest shareholders does not wish to appoint a member of the nomination committee, the fourth largest shareholder shall be consulted and so on until the nomination committee consists of three members. However, not more than ten shareholders need to be consulted. Furthermore, the chairman of the board shall be co-opted to the nomination committee.
The members of the nomination committee shall be published on the Company's website no later than six months before the next annual general meeting. The term of office for the appointed nomination committee shall run until a new nomination committee has been appointed in accordance with the mandate from the next annual general meeting.
The nomination committee appoints a chairman from among its members. The chairman of the board or another board member shall not be the chairman of the nomination committee.
If a member leaves the nomination committee before its term is completed, and if the nomination committee considers that there is a need to replace this member, the nomination committee shall appoint a new member in accordance with the principles above, but based on Euroclear Sweden AB's printout of the share register as soon as possible after the member has left its post. Changes in the composition of the nomination committee shall be announced immediately.
No remuneration shall be paid to the committee members for their work on the nomination committee. The Company shall however bear reasonable costs that arise in the nomination process.
The nomination committee shall submit proposals for resolutions on the following issues to the 2025 annual general meeting:
1) proposal for election of the chairman of the annual general meeting,
2) proposal for fees and other renumeration to the board of directors and the company’s auditors,
3) proposal for election of board members,
4) proposal for election of chairman of the board,
5) proposal for election of auditors, and
6) proposals for principles for the composition and guidelines regarding work of the nomination committee in preparation for the annual general meeting 2026.
Item 12 – Resolution on amendment of the Company’s articles of association
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to amend the wording of the provisions of the articles of association concerning the limits of the Company’s share capital and number of shares (paragraph § 4-5) in accordance with the following:
Current wording | Proposed wording |
§ 4 Share capital | § 4 Share capital |
The company’s share capital shall be not less than SEK 7,750,000 and not more than SEK 31,000,000. | The company’s share capital shall be not less than SEK 17,500, 000 and not more than SEK 70,000,000. |
§ 5 Number of shares | § 5 Number of shares |
The number of shares in the company shall be not less than 60,000,000 and not more than 240,000,000. | The number of shares in the company shall be not less than 135,000,000 and not more than 540,000,000. |
The CEO, or any other person appointed by the board of directors, shall have the right to make such minor adjustments to this resolution that may be necessary in connection with the registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB.
A resolution in accordance with the proposal requires that the resolution is supported by shareholders representing at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.
Item 13 – Resolution on authorization (rights issue)
The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting authorizes the board of directors to, on one or several occasions, for the time until the next annual general meeting, resolve on issues of shares, warrants and/or convertible instruments. Any such issue shall be with preferential rights for the shareholders.
Item 14 – Resolution on authorization (directed issue)
The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting authorizes the board of directors to, on one or several occasions, for the time until the next annual general meeting, resolve on issues of shares, warrants and/or convertible instruments. The board of directors shall be able to resolve on issues with deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights and/or with or without provisions on payment by non-cash consideration and/or by way of set-off or other provisions. The board of directors shall, however, on the basis of this authorization, not be able to make decisions that result in an increase of the share capital with more than twenty (20) percent of the total share capital in the Company when the authorization is utilized for the first time.
The reason to propose that the board of directors shall be authorized to resolve on issues with deviation from the shareholder’s pre-emption rights, with or without provisions on payment by non-cash consideration, by way of set-off or other provisions in accordance with above is that the Company shall be able to issue shares, warrants and/or convertible instruments with the purpose of acquiring new capital and for the board of directors to direct issues to investors that the board of directors deems to be strategically important for the Company.
A resolution in accordance with the proposal requires that the resolution is supported by shareholders representing at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.
