Resolution to authorize the board of directors to issue shares and warrants
The extraordinary shareholders’ meeting resolved, in accordance with the board of directors’ proposal, in order to enable the issuance of units consisting of shares and warrants as underwriting compensation to those who have entered into underwriting commitments (the “Guarantors”) to secure the Rights Issue, to authorize the board of directors, for the period until the next annual shareholders’ meeting, on one or several occasions, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights and with or without provisions regarding set-off or other conditions, to resolve on issue of shares and warrants to the Guarantors.
Upon exercise of the authorization, the terms and conditions for units shall be the same as in the Rights Issue, meaning that each unit shall consist of two (2) shares and one (1) warrant series TO 4, however, the subscription price per unit shall correspond to the volume-weighted average share price of the company’s share on Nasdaq Stockholm during the subscription period in the Rights Issue (i.e. during the period 22 January 2024 – 5 February 2024), multiplied by two (2), but never lower than the subscription price in the Rights Issue.
The purpose of the authorization and the reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights is to be able to carry out an issue of units as underwriting compensation to the Guarantors. The number of shares and warrants that may be issued pursuant to the authorization may not exceed the total number of shares and warrants corresponding to the agreed underwriting fee that the company has to pay to the Guarantors.
Resolution to authorize the board of directors to issue convertibles
The extraordinary shareholders’ meeting resolved, in accordance with the board of directors’ proposal, to authorize the board of directors to, on one occasion during the period until the next annual shareholders’ meeting, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights and with or without provisions regarding set-off or other conditions, resolve to issue convertibles at a nominal amount of a maximum of SEK 10 million. The convertibles shall be convertible into shares at a conversion price corresponding to 150 percent of the subscription price per share in the Rights Issue.
The purpose of the authorization and the reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights is to enable an issue of convertibles to Formue Nord Fokus A/S as part of the restructuring of the company’s existing loan agreement with Formue Nord Fokus A/S as described in the company’s press release from 14 December 2023.
Resolution on issue authorization and revocation of previous authorization
The extraordinary shareholders’ meeting resolved, in accordance with the board of directors’ proposal, to authorize the board of directors, within the limits of the company’s Articles of Association, at one or several occasions, during the time up until the next annual shareholders’ meeting, with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, to resolve to issue new shares, warrants and/or convertibles. An issue should be able to be made with or without provisions regarding contribution in kind, set-off or other conditions. The total number of shares that may be issued (alternatively be issued through conversion of convertibles and/or exercise of warrants) may result in a dilution of not more than 20 percent of the total number of shares in the company at the time when the board of directors first exercises the authorization.
In case the authorization is used for an issue with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, the issue should be made on market terms. The purpose of the authorization is to be able to source working capital, to be able to execute and finance acquisitions of companies and assets as well as to enable new issues to industrial partners within the framework of partnerships and alliances.
The authorization corresponds to the authorization resolved at the annual shareholders’ meeting on 25 May 2023, however, that the authorization may result in a dilution of not more than 20 percent of the total number of shares in the company at the time when the board of directors first exercises the authorization, instead of a dilution based on the number of outstanding shares at the time of the annual shareholders’ meeting. The new authorization shall, after it has been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office, replace the previous authorization from the annual shareholders’ meeting. The reason for the new authorization is that the previous authorization has been exercised in connection with a directed share issue in August 2023 and to adapt the authorization to the number of outstanding shares after the Rights Issue.
