Chairman for the Meeting (item 2)

The Board of Directors proposes that Jesper Schönbeck, member of the Swedish Bar Association, or the one proposed by the Board of Directors, if he has an impediment to attend, is elected as Chairman for the Meeting.

Resolution regarding long term incentive program (item 7)

The Board proposes a long-term share incentive plan (“LTIP 2023”) for up to eight (8) key employees in the Company in accordance with the below. LTIP 2023 is a five-year performance-based incentive program which is based on the long-term share incentive plan from 2022 and has the same characteristics and identical criteria for measuring performance. The program is proposed to be vested over a three-year vesting period of one third per year.

Further and unlike previous programs, it is proposed that the participants shall be granted an extended opportunity to hold incentive shares indirectly. The reason for the proposal is to ensure that the participants are able to participate in the program on equal terms, including employees in the United Kingdom that due to Brexit are no longer able to hold, under the same conditions as previously, shares directly.

The objective of LTIP 2023 is to encourage the employees to financially commit to the long-term value growth of VEF, and thereby align their interests with those of the shareholders. LTIP 2023 will be an important tool for VEF to retain the best talent for the Company, which is vital for the ability to provide long-term value growth for its shareholders.

LTIP 2023 requires that the Meeting, in addition to adopting the new LTIP 2023, resolves (i) to adopt the New Articles of Association (as defined below) and (ii) on an issue of the Class C 2023 Shares (as defined below) to the participants in LTIP 2023, in accordance with the Board’s proposals for the Meeting in items 7(b) and 7(c) below.

Adoption of LTIP 2023 (item 7(a))
Summary of LTIP 2023

LTIP 2023 is based on the following structure:

• A new share class in VEF (“Class C 2023 Shares”) is introduced in accordance with the proposed amendments of the articles of association of the Company (the “New Articles of Association”).

• According to the New Articles of Association, the Class C 2023 Shares, under certain conditions, will be reclassified as VEF ordinary shares (“Ordinary Shares”), which following registration will be admitted to trading on the marketplace for the Company’s ordinary shares.

• The number of Class C 2023 Shares that will be reclassified as Ordinary Shares is dependent on the extent to which the performance measure has been met during the period 1 January 2023 – 31 December 2027 (the "Measurement Period"). Class C 2023 Shares that are not reclassified into Ordinary Shares will be redeemed by the Company.

• In addition, reclassification of the Class C 2023 Shares into Ordinary Shares requires that the participant is employed by the VEF group, and has kept the Investment Shares (as defined below), throughout the three-year vesting period, ending after release of VEF’s interim financial report for the period January-March 2026 (the "Vesting Period"), whereby one third of allotted shares is vested on each date of release of the Company’s interim financial report for the period January-March 2024, 2025, 2026, respectively.

• Participation in LTIP 2023 requires a personal investment in Ordinary Shares in the Company (the “Investment Shares”).
• In total, the participants in LTIP 2023 may subscribe for up to 11,725,000 Class C 2023 Shares, and upon reclassification one (1) Class C 2023 Share will be reclassified into one (1) Ordinary Share.

Adoption of the plan
Participants in LTIP 2023

Up to eight (8) employees in VEF will be entitled to participate in LTIP 2023.

Personal investment in Ordinary Shares

In order to participate in LTIP 2023, the employees are required to allocate a holding, directly or indirectly, of Investment Shares when giving notice of participation and subscribing for the Serie C 2023 Shares. The Investment Shares may be either Ordinary Shares acquired for LTIP 2023 or the employee may allocate Ordinary Shares already held to LTIP 2023 (which are not already allocated to the other incentive programs).

General terms and conditions for the Class C 2023 Shares

The Class C 2023 Shares shall be governed by the New Articles of Association. The New Articles of Association will be supplemented by an agreement to be entered into with the respective participants prior to subscribing for the Class C 2023 Shares. If the participant holds its Class C 2023 Shares indirectly, the below will apply also for the company holding the Class C 2023 Shares directly as applicable and in accordance with what the Board of Directors finds appropriate.

The main terms and conditions for the Class C 2023 Shares according to the New Articles of Association and/or the separate agreements between VEF and each respective participant are the following:

• The participants will subscribe for, directly or indirectly, Class C 2023 Shares for SEK 0.011 for each Class C 2023 Share (i.e. the quota value of the Company’s shares).

• If and to the extent the performance-based condition for reclassification of the Class C 2023 Shares has been fulfilled, the Class C 2023 Shares will be reclassified after the Vesting Period. Upon reclassification, one (1) Class C 2023 Share will be reclassified to one (1) Ordinary Share.

• To the extent that the performance-based condition for reclassification of the Class C 2023 Share has not been fulfilled, the Class C 2023 Share will be redeemed by VEF after the Measurement Period. In addition, the Board has the right to redeem a Class C 2023 Share at any time if redemption is requested by the participant.

• In order to align the participants’ and shareholders’ interests, the participants will be compensated for dividends and other value transfers to the shareholders during the Measurement Period. However, dividend compensation will be paid only if and to the extent the performance-based condition for reclassification of the Class C 2023 Shares have been fulfilled. Further, the Board of Directors shall be authorized to compensate participants for dilution in connection with share issues in the Company.

• The agreements with the participants will include an irrevocable request from the participant to redeem the participant’s Class C 2023 Shares (all or a portion as the case may be) if (a) the participant has not allocated the committed Investment Shares prior to 31 December 2023, or (b) the participant transfers, sells, pledges, lends or otherwise disposes of the Investment Shares during the Vesting Period, or (c) the participant ceases to be employed by the VEF group, subject to certain exceptions as set out below, during the Vesting Period, or (d) in case a redemption is necessary to ensure that LTIP 2023 is compliant with laws and regulations. As regards (c) above, a participant will not be required to request redemption of the Class C 2023 Shares in the event of death, disability or retirement. In addition, the Board may decide to waive redemption in any particular case.

• The agreements with the participants also include (a) a market condition and (b) a right for VEF to reclaim the subsidy (see below), if the participant transfers the Class C 2023 Shares prior to reclassification or redemption of the Class C 2023 Shares.

Performance-based conditions for reclassification of the Class C 2023 Shares

The number of Class C 2023 Shares that shall be reclassified into Ordinary Shares is based on the level of fulfilment of the performance-based condition during the Measurement Period.

The performance condition is based on the measurement of VEF’s average annual net asset value development per share (“NAV per share”) during the Measurement Period. The three target levels (entry, target and stretch) for the performance condition are 10 percent average NAV per share development per year as entry level, 15 percent average NAV per share development per year as target level and 20 percent average NAV per share development per year as stretch level.

If the entry level is reached, ten thirty-fifths (10/35), approximately 28.6 percent, of the Class C 2023 Shares will be reclassified as Ordinary Shares. If the target level is reached, twenty thirty-fifths (20/35), approximately 57.1 percent, of the Class C 2023 Shares will be reclassified as Ordinary Shares. If the stretch level is reached, all of the Class C 2023 Shares will be reclassified as Ordinary Shares. If the performance level is between the entry level and target level, or between target and stretch level, the Class C 2023 Shares will be reclassified on a linear basis between the respective milestones (between 10/35 and 20/35 and between 20/35 and 1, respectively). All Class C 2023 Shares that are not reclassified into Ordinary Shares will be redeemed by VEF after the Measurement Period.

See the New Articles of Association for more information regarding the performance-based condition.

Allocation – subscription for Class C 2023 Shares

LTIP 2023 is proposed to comprise up to 335,000 Investment Shares entitling participants to subscribe for, in aggregate, up to 11,725,000 Class C 2023 Shares. LTIP 2023 will comprise up to the following number of Investment Shares and Class C 2023 Shares for different categories of participants:

• the CEO of VEF can allocate up to 100,500 Investment Shares, entitling the CEO to subscribe for, directly or indirectly, up to 3,517,500 Class C 2023 Shares; and

• other members of the management team and key employees (7 individuals) can allocate up to 234,500 Investment Shares in total, entitling them to subscribe for, directly of indirectly up to 8,207,500 Class C 2023 Shares in total.

The number of Class C 2023 Shares that a participant may subscribe for is based on the participants’ competence, area of responsibility as well as the number Investment Shares allocated to LTIP 2023. The Board will determine the final number of Class C 2023 Shares allocated to each participant. The Board may decide that any Investment Shares not allocated to the CEO shall be allocated to other members of management and key employees.

Reclassification

Reclassification of the Class C 2023 Shares to Ordinary Shares will be made after the Measurement Period. The maximum number of Class C 2023 Shares that can be reclassified amounts to 11,725,000. Maximum outcome assumes full participation in LTIP 2023, no personnel turn-over during the Vesting Period, and that the performance condition has been fulfilled during the Measurement Period (i.e. that the stretch target have been achieved).

Information about the outcome of LTIP 2023 will be presented in the Annual Report for 2027.

Subsidy of tax impact

VEF will grant a cash subsidy to the participants in LTIP 2023 to compensate for the tax impact arising due to the fact that the subscription price for the Class C 2023 Shares is below fair market value (see below under the heading "Cost, scope and effects on key ratios"). The cash subsidy will correspond to, and cover, the tax impact for the participant and may also cover the subscription price for the Class C 2023 Shares.

Costs, scope and effects on key ratios

PwC has provided a valuation model for the Class C 2023 Shares using the Monte Carlo method. The valuation derived is based on input from the Company. Based on a price for VEF’s Ordinary Shares of SEK 2.31 and the market conditions that prevailed on 24 August 2023, the value per Class C 2023 Share has been estimated to be SEK 0.55.

Based on the assumption of full participation in LTIP 2023 (i.e. 8 participants, in total 335,000 Investment Shares and 11,725,000 Class C 2023 Shares) and a total fair market value of the Class C 2023 Shares of SEK 6,448,750 (based on an estimated value per Class C 2023 Shares of SEK 0.55), the total cost for LTIP 2023, including social security costs, is estimated to amount to approximately SEK 15.8 million.

Given that the actual cost for VEF will be based on the prevailing price of VEF’s Ordinary Shares in connection with subscription of the Class C 2023 Shares, VEF’s costs may deviate from the estimates set out above.

The maximum dilution due to LTIP 2023 is no more than 1.1 percent in terms of outstanding Ordinary Shares. The number of Class C 2023 Shares may change during the Measurement Period due to intervening bonus issues, reverse splits, splits, rights issues and/or other similar events.

The costs and dilution are expected to have a marginal effect on VEF’s key ratios.

Preparation and administration

The Board of Directors has prepared LTIP 2023 in consultation with external advisors.

The Board of Directors shall be responsible for preparing the detailed terms and conditions of the agreements with the participants in LTIP 2023, in accordance with the mentioned terms and guidelines and the New Articles of Association. To this end, the Board of Directors shall be entitled to make adjustments to meet regulatory and tax requirements or market conditions. The Board of Directors may also make other adjustments, including deciding to amend the number of Class C 2023 Shares that shall be reclassified for all participants, or for certain categories of participants, covered by the LTIP 2023, if significant changes in the VEF group or its operating environment would result in a situation where the decided terms and conditions of LTIP 2023 no longer serve their purpose, however, always observing the provisions of the New Articles of Association and any adjustments shall only be made in order to fulfil the main objectives of LTIP 2023.

Other incentive programs in the Company

Below are summaries of the current outstanding incentive programs in the Company. For more information about the incentive programs, please see the annual report 2022.

The 2015 Incentive Program

Under the 2015 option program, amended in connection with VEF’s change of domicile from Bermuda to Sweden at an Extraordinary General Meeting held on 17 June 2021 to a program with corresponding terms, 500,000 options have been granted, corresponding to a maximum dilution of 0.05 percent of the total number of outstanding Ordinary Shares.

The 2020 share-based long-term incentive program (“LTIP 2020”) was resolved upon at the Annual General Meeting of VEF Ltd. on 13 May 2020 and implemented by the Company in connection with VEF’s change of domicile from Bermuda to Sweden. Accordingly, the incentive shares of LTIP 2020 were replaced with shares of Class C 2020 (as defined in the Company’s articles of association). LTIP 2020 runs from 1 January 2020 until publication of the Company’s interim report for the period 1 January – 31 March 2025, and encompasses a maximum of 32,751,250 shares, corresponding to a dilution of 3.05% of the total number of outstanding Ordinary shares.

The 2021 Incentive Program

The 2021 share-based long-term incentive program (“LTIP 2021”) was resolved upon at the Annual General Meeting of VEF Ltd. on 6 May 2021 and implemented by the Company in connection with VEF’s change of domicile from Bermuda to Sweden. Accordingly, it was resolved on a new share issue in the Company of shares of Class C 2021 (as defined in the Company’s articles of association). LTIP 2021 runs from 1 January 2021 until publication of the Company’s interim report for the period 1 January – 31 March 2026, and encompasses a maximum of 8,229,375 shares, corresponding to a dilution of 0.78% of the total number of outstanding Ordinary shares.

The 2022 Incentive Program

The 2022 share-based long-term incentive program (“LTIP 2022”) was resolved upon at the Annual General Meeting of VEF Ltd. on 10 May 2022. LTIP 2022 runs from 1 January 2022 until publication of the Company’s interim report for the period 1 January – 31 March 2025, and encompasses a maximum of 10,352,895 shares, corresponding to a dilution of 0.98% of the total number of outstanding Ordinary shares.

Amendment of the Company’s Articles of Association (item 7(b))

The Board of Directors proposes to amend the Company’s articles of association in order to implement LTIP 2023, to enable the issue of the Class C 2023 Shares under items 7(a) and 7(c) and to enable the issue of ordinary shares under LTIP 2023. The Board’s complete proposal is set out in Appendix A to this notice.

Issue Class C 2023 Shares to participants in LTIP 2023 (item 7(c))

The Board of Directors proposes that the Meeting resolves on a directed new share issue of Class C 2023 Shares (as defined in the New Articles of Association) to the participants in LTIP 2023. The new share issue of Class C 2023 Shares to the participants in LTIP 2023 is conditional upon the Meeting resolving to amend the articles of association in accordance with item 7(b). The following terms shall apply:

• The issue of new Class C 2023 Shares will increase the share capital of the Company by no more than SEK 128,975 through the issue of no more than 11,725,000 Class C 2023 Shares.

• The subscription price for each Class C 2023 Share is SEK 0.011.

• The participants in the LTIP 2023 shall be entitled to subscribe for, directly or indirectly, the number of Class C 2023 Shares as allocated and determined by the Board of Directors.

• The subscription of the Class C 2023 Shares shall be made by payment in cash, and according to the Company's instructions, between 9 October 2023 – 31 December 2023, subject to registration of the New Articles of Association adopted under resolution 7(b). Oversubscription may not occur. The Board of Directors shall have the right to extend the subscription period and the time for payment.

• The Class C 2023 Shares are subject to the reclassification and redemption clauses in the New Articles of Association and shall entitle to dividends as from the time when the new shares are recorded in the shareholders’ register maintained by Euroclear Sweden, subject to the provisions on dividends in the New Articles of Association.

• The reason for the proposed deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, and the basis for setting the subscription price of the Class C 2023 Shares to SEK 0.011 (the quota value), is that the new share issue of the Class C 2023 Shares is an integral part of the implementation of LTIP 2023. The Board considers that LTIP 2023 will be for the benefit of the Company's shareholders as set out in the proposal for LTIP 2023 in item 7(a) above.

If the Class C 2023 Shares are issued to and/or held indirectly by a participant, through either a wholly-owned or co-owned vehicle, the Class C 2023 Shares shall be able to be transferred to the participant during the course of the program. This shall also apply to any Class C 2023 Shares reclassified in accordance with the Company’s articles of association. In the event LTIP 2023 is implemented through the use of a wholly-owned or co-owned vehicle, the transfer of any shares in such a vehicle to or from a participant shall be permitted.

Majority requirements

A resolution in accordance with the Board of Directors’ proposal in respect of item 7(a) requires support by shareholders representing not less than half (1/2) of the votes cast as well as of the shares represented at the Meeting. Resolutions in accordance with the Board of Directors’ proposals in respect of item 7(b) requires support by shareholders representing not less than two thirds (2/3) of the votes cast as well as of the shares represented at the Meeting.

(paid dividends and other value transfers to the shareholders) (the ”Paid Dividends”) during the period from January 2020 through December 2024 as regards shares of Class C 2020, during the period from January 2021 through December 2025 as regards shares of Class C 2021, during the period from January 2022 through December 2026 as regards shares of Class C 2022 and during the period from January 2023 through December 2027 as regards shares of Class C 2023.

Vid beräkning av det Innestående Beloppet ska Lämnade Utdelningar räknas upp med en multipel motsvarande totalavkastningen till aktieägarna av stamaktier (”TSR-Multipeln”) från och med den första handelsdagen utan rätt till utdelning eller inlösenaktie för år 2020 till och med december 2024 för aktier av Serie C 2020, från och med den första handelsdagen utan rätt till utdelning eller inlösenaktie för år 2021 till och med december 2025 för aktier av Serie C 2021, från och med den första handelsdagen utan rätt till utdelning eller inlösenaktie för år 2022 till och med december 2026 för aktier av Serie C 2022 och från och med den första handelsdagen utan rätt till utdelning eller inlösenaktie för år 2023 till och med december 2027 för aktier av Serie C 2023.
When calculating the Outstanding Amount, Paid Dividends shall be adjusted upwards with a multiple corresponding to the total shareholder return to the holders of ordinary shares (the ”TSR Multiple”) as from and including the first trading day without right to dividend or redemption share for 2020 through December 2024 as regards shares of Class C 2020, as from and including the first trading day without right to dividend or redemption share for 2021 through December 2025 as regards shares of Class C 2021, as from and including the first trading day without right to dividend or redemption share for 2022 through December 2026 as regards shares of Class C 2022 and as from and including the first trading day without right to dividend or redemption share for 2023 through December 2027 as regards shares of Class C 2023.

Det Innestående Beloppet för aktier av Serie C 2020 ska följaktligen beräknas enligt följande: Lämnad Utdelning per stamaktie år 2020 * TSR-Multipeln 2020-2024, det Innestående Beloppet för aktier av Serie C 2021 ska beräknas enligt följande: Lämnad Utdelning per stamaktie år 2021 * TSR-Multipeln 2021-2025, det Innestående Beloppet för aktier av Serie C 2022 ska beräknas enligt följande: Lämnad Utdelning per stamaktie år 2022 * TSR-Multipeln 2022-2026 och det Innestående Beloppet för aktier av Serie C 2023 ska beräknas enligt följande: Lämnad Utdelning per stamaktie år 2023 * TSR-Multipeln 2023-2027.
The Outstanding Amount as regards shares of Class C 2020 shall accordingly be calculated in accordance with the following: Paid Dividend per ordinary share 2020 * the TSR Multiple during 2020-2024, the Outstanding Amount as regards shares of Class C 2021 shall be calculated in accordance with the following: Paid Dividend per ordinary share 2021 * the TSR Multiple during 2021-2025, the Outstanding Amount as regards shares of Class C 2022 shall be calculated in accordance with the following: Paid Dividend per ordinary share 2022 * the TSR Multiple during 2022-2026 and the Outstanding Amount as regards shares of Class C 2023 shall be calculated in accordance with the following: Paid Dividend per ordinary share 2023 * the TSR Multiple during 2023-2027.

Det Innestående Beloppet för följande år ska beräknas enligt samma formel, justerad framåt med ett år.
The Outstanding Amount for the following years shall be calculated in accordance with the same formulae, adjusted forward by one year.

Totalavkastningen på VEF AB (publ):s stamaktie ska beräknas genom att stängningskursen på VEF AB (publ):s stamaktie den sista handelsdagen i december 2024 för aktier av Serie C 2020 respektive den sista handelsdagen i december 2025 för aktier av Serie C 2021 respektive den sista handelsdagen i december 2026 för aktier av Serie C 2022 respektive respektive den sista handelsdagen i december 2027 för aktier av Serie C 2023 (slutvärdet) delas med stängningskursen på VEF AB (publ):s stamaktie, eller, för tiden innan upptagande till handel av bolagets aktier på marknadsplatsen, VEF Ltd.:s stamaktie, den första handelsdagen utan rätt till utdelning eller inlösenaktie 2020 för aktier av Serie C 2020 respektive den första handelsdagen utan rätt till utdelning eller inlösenaktie 2021 för aktier av Serie C 2021 respektive den första handelsdagen utan rätt till utdelning eller inlösenaktie 2022 för aktier av Serie C 2022 respektive den första handelsdagen utan rätt till utdelning eller inlösenaktie 2023 för aktier av Serie C 2023 (startvärdet), justerat för att aktieägaren har återinvesterat Lämnade Utdelningar, före skatt, på den första respektive handelsdagen utan rätt till utdelning eller inlösenaktie.
The total shareholder return of the VEF AB (publ)’s ordinary share shall be calculated by dividing the closing price for VEF AB (publ)’s ordinary shares on the last trading day in December 2024 as regards shares of Class C 2020, on the last trading day in December 2025 as regards shares of Class C 2021, on the last trading day in December 2026 as regards shares of Class C 2022 and the last trading day in December 2027 as regards shares of Class C 2023, respectively, (the end value) with the closing price for VEF AB (publ)’s ordinary shares or, prior to the company’s shares being admitted to trading on the marketplace, VEF Ltd.’s ordinary share, on the first trading day without right to dividend or redemption share for 2020 as regards shares of Class C 2020, on the first trading day without right to dividend or redemption share for 2021 as regards shares of Class C 2021, on the first trading day without right to dividend or redemption share for 2022 as regards shares of Class C 2022 and on the first trading day without right to dividend or redemption share for 2023 as regards shares of Class C 2023, respectively, (the start value), adjusted on the basis of the shareholder reinvesting Paid Dividends, before tax, on each respective first trading day without right to dividend or redemption share.

För utbetalning av det Innestående Beloppet hänförligt till aktier av Serie C 2020, Serie C 2021, Serie C 2022 och Serie C 2023 krävs att årsstämman det år den relevanta aktieserien kan omvandlas till stamaktier – det vill säga 2025 för aktier av Serie C 2020, 2026 för aktier av Serie C 2021, 2027 för aktier av Serie C 2022 och 2028 för aktier av Serie C 2023 – beslutar om vinstutdelning (per aktie) till aktierna i den relevanta aktieserien motsvarande det Innestående Beloppet. Aktiernas rätt till vinstutdelning motsvarande det Innestående Beloppet ska vara efterställd stamaktier, vilket innebär att utbetalning motsvarande det Innestående Beloppet till innehavare av aktier av Serie C 2020, Serie C 2021, Serie C 2022 och Serie C 2023 endast ska betalas ut om det finns ett tillräckligt belopp kvar efter utdelningen till innehavare av stamaktier.
Payment of the Outstanding Amount attributed to shares of Class C 2020, Class C 2021, Class C 2022 and Class C 2023 requires that the Annual General Meeting the year the relevant share class may be reclassified as ordinary shares – i.e. 2025 as regards shares of Class C 2020, 2026 as regards shares of Class C 2021, 2027 as regards shares of Class C 2022 and 2028 as regards shares of Class C 2023 – resolves on a dividend (per share) to the shares in that relevant share class corresponding to the Outstanding Amount.

Aktier av Serie C 2020 ska medföra samma rätt till vinstutdelning som stamaktier från och med den 1 januari 2025, aktier av Serie C 2021 ska medföra samma rätt till vinstutdelning som stamaktier från och med den 1 januari 2026, aktier av Serie C 2022 ska medföra samma rätt till vinstutdelning som stamaktier från och med den 1 januari 2027 och aktier av Serie C 2023 ska medföra samma rätt till vinstutdelning som stamaktier från och med den 1 januari 2028.

The record dates for payments of the Outstanding Amount to Class C 2020, Class C 2021, Class C 2022 and Class C 2023 as well as other dividends to a Reclassifiable Share Class may not be set to a day that occur prior to the Board’s resolution that year to redeem shares of the Reclassifiable Share Classes for which the condition for reclassification has not been fulfilled and such resolution is due the relevant year.

§ 5 Emissioner / Issuances
Beslutar bolaget att ge ut nya stamaktier och aktier inom samtliga Omvandlingsbara Aktieserier mot annan betalning än apportegendom, ska ägare av stamaktier och Omvandlingsbara Aktier äga företrädesrätt att teckna nya aktier av samma aktieslag i förhållande till det antal aktier innehavaren förut äger (primär företrädesrätt). Aktier som inte tecknas med primär företrädesrätt ska erbjudas samtliga aktieägare till teckning (subsidiär företrädesrätt). Om inte sålunda erbjudna aktier räcker för den teckning som sker med subsidiär företrädesrätt ska aktierna fördelas mellan tecknarna i förhållande till det antal aktier de förut äger, och i den mån detta inte kan ske, genom lottning.
Should the company resolve on an issue of new ordinary shares and of all Reclassifiable Share Classes against other payment than contribution in kind, each holder of ordinary shares and Reclassifiable Shares has preferential rights to subscribe for new shares of the same class in proportion to the number of shares previously held by such holder (primary preferential rights). Shares not subscribed for with primary preferential rights shall be offered for subscription to all shareholders in the company (subsidiary preferential rights). If the number of shares so offered is less than the number subscribed for with subsidiary preferential rights, the shares shall be distributed among the subscribers in proportion to the number of shares already held, or, to the extent that this is not possible, by lot.

Beslutar bolaget att ge ut endast stamaktier eller aktier inom någon av de Omvandlingsbara Aktieserierna, mot annan betalning än apportegendom, ska samtliga aktieägare, oavsett vilken serie deras aktie är, äga företrädesrätt att teckna nya aktier i förhållande till det antal aktier de förut äger.
Should the company resolve on an issue of new shares consisting solely of ordinary shares or of a Reclassifiable Share Class, against other payment than contribution in kind, all shareholders, irrespective of which class of shares held, are entitled to preferential rights to subscribe for new shares in proportion to the number of shares previously held.

Beslutar bolaget att ge ut teckningsoptioner eller konvertibler mot annan betalning än apportegendom, ska vad som föreskrivs ovan om aktieägares företrädesrätt äga motsvarande tillämpning.
Should the company resolve on an issue of warrants or convertibles, against other payment than contribution in kind, the above stated regarding the shareholders’ preferential rights shall apply mutatis mutandis.

Vad som föreskrivs ovan i föregående stycken ska inte innebära någon inskränkning i möjligheten att fatta beslut om emission med avvikelse från aktieägarnas företrädesrätt.
The stipulations in the sections above should not infringe on the possibility to resolve on an issue in which the preferential rights of shareholders are waived.

Vid ökning av aktiekapitalet genom fondemission med utgivande av nya aktier ska nya aktier ges ut av respektive aktieslag i förhållande till det antal aktier av dessa slag som finns sedan tidigare.
