Item 2 – Election of chairman of the general meeting
The board of directors proposes that attorney-at-law Henric Stråth or, if he is prevented from attending, the person appointed by the board of directors shall be elected chairman of the meeting.
Item 7 – Resolution to approve the board of directors’ resolution on a directed share issue
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting approves of the board of directors’ resolution on 11 December 2023 on a directed issue of shares in respect of not more than 1,000,000 shares, entailing an increase in the share capital of not more than SEK 29,984.62. The resolution shall otherwise be governed by the following terms and conditions.
- The right to subscribe for the shares shall, with a deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, belong to Spirit of Performance AB, reg. no. 559086-4293, a company owned by the company’s board member Christian von Koenigsegg. In connection with the resolution on this share issue, the board has also resolved, as authorized by the general meeting on 2 May 2023, on a directed share issue to a group of existing and new investors on the same terms as for this issue. Thus, the reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential right in this issue is the same as for the other directed share issue. The board of directors has carefully considered alternative financing options, including the possibilities of carrying out a rights issue. However, the board of directors, after an overall assessment and careful consideration, considers a share issue carried out with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights to be a more beneficial alternative for the company and the company’s shareholders than a rights issue and that it is objectively in the company’s as well as its shareholders’ interests to carry out the directed share issue. The board of directors has, among other things, considered the following. A rights issue would be significantly more time- and resource-consuming compared to a directed share issue, not least as a result of the work related to securing a rights issue, while there are no guarantees that a rights issue would be fully subscribed. A reduced time consumption allows for flexibility for potential investment opportunities in the short term, contributes to reduced exposure to share price fluctuations on the stock market, as well as allows for the opportunity to benefit from current interest in the company’s share. Moreover, the costs of the directed share issue are considered to be lower than those of a rights issue since, among other things and based on the market volatility that has been observed during 2023, such issue would also require significant underwriting commitments from an underwriting syndicate, which would entail additional costs and/or additional dilution for the shareholders depending on the type of remuneration for such underwriting. The reason for directing the share issue to a current shareholder is that this shareholder has expressed and demonstrated a long-term interest in the company which, according to the board of directors, creates security and stability for both the company and its shareholders as well as significant strategic and long-term value. It is the board of directors’ assessment that without the support from existing shareholders, carrying out a success capital raise would not have been possible. An additional aspect that speaks in favour of the choice of a directed share issue is that a rights issue, most probably, would have had to be conducted at a not inconsiderable discount, which would lead to larger dilution effects for the company’s existing shareholders, which is avoided with a directed share issue where the subscription price has been set at a discount of approximately 8.3 per cent in relation to the trade closing price of the company’s share on Nasdaq First North Growth Market on 8 December 2023. From a shareholder perspective, a rights issue at a significant discount also entails a risk of a negative effect on the share price in connection with the carry-out of the rights issue. Considering the above, the board of directors’ overall assessment is therefore that the reasons for conducting the directed issue outweigh the reasons for a rights issue according to the main rule, and that a directed share issue therefore lies in the interests of both the company and all its shareholders.
- The subscription price has been set at SEK 1.00 per share, following arm’s length negotiations between the company and a number of investors and a market sounding carried out by Redeye AB. The subscription price represents a discount of approximately 8.3 per cent to the closing price of the company’s share on Nasdaq First North Growth Market on 8 December 2023.
- The share premium shall be transferred to the unrestricted premium reserve.
- Subscription for the newly-issued shares shall be made no later than on 13 December 2023. Payment for the shares subscribed for shall be made no later than on 13 December 2023.
- The board of directors shall be entitled to extend the subscription period and the time for payment.
- The new shares shall entitle to dividends from and including the first record date for dividends decided after the new shares have been registered by the Swedish Companies Registration Office and entered into the share register kept by Euroclear Sweden AB.
- The board of directors, the CEO, or a person appointed by the board of directors or the CEO shall be authorised to make any minor amendments required to register the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB or due to other formal requirements.
To be valid, the resolution must be supported by shareholders representing at least nine-tenths (9/10) of the votes cast as well as the shares represented at the meeting.
