Item 12 – Resolution on the nomination committee
The nomination committee proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to establish a nomination committee for the annual general meeting 2025 according to the following principles.
The meeting instructs the chairperson of the board to contact the three largest shareholders in terms of votes according to Euroclear's printout of the share register as of the stock markets opening on 30 September 2024, who each appoint a member of 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 mandate period for the appointed nomination committee shall run until a new election committee is appointed according to the mandate from the next annual general meeting.

Item 13 – Resolution on authorization to issue shares
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to authorize the board of directors for the period up to the next annual meeting of shareholders to resolve, on one or several occasions, to issue shares, warrants and/or convertible loans (or combinations thereof, so-called units). If the board uses the authorization, it may also be done with a deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive right and/or with provisions regarding in-kind or set-off.
An issue in accordance with this authorization shall be on market terms. The board of directors shall have the right to determine the terms and conditions regarding issues under this authorization and what persons shall be entitled to subscribe for issued securities. The reason why the board should be able to resolve on an issue with a deviation from the shareholder's pre-emptive right and/or with a provision on in-kind or set-off is that the Company should have the opportunity to procure capital for the Company, carry out strategically motivated collaborations or business acquisitions and facilitate the implementation of issues in order to strengthen the Company's financial position.
The company's CEO is proposed to be authorized to make the minor adjustments in this resolution that may be necessary in connection with registration at the Swedish Companies Registration Office (sv. Bolagsverket) and at Euroclear Sweden AB.
Item 14 – Resolution on amendment of the articles of association
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to adopt new articles of association, whereby paragraph 3 is amended in accordance with the following.
