If any of these shareholders renounce from its right to appoint a representative, the right to appoint such representative shall pass to the largest shareholder in turn in terms of votes which is not already entitled to be represented on the nomination committee. The procedure shall continue until the nomination committee consists of four members, excluding the chairman of the board of directors, if this can be achieved after contacts with the ten largest shareholders and shareholders with a shareholding of three per cent or more, as applicable, after which the thereby appointed members shall form the committee. The chairman of the nomination committee shall be the member who represents the largest shareholder in terms of votes, unless the members agree otherwise. The chairman of the board of directors may not be chairman of the nomination committee.

The chairman of the board of directors shall convene the nomination committee to its first meeting and shall, as a part of the nomination committee's work, report to the nomination committee such circumstances regarding the work of the board of directors and the need for special competences etc. that may be of importance for the work of the nomination committee. The composition of the nomination committee shall be announced as soon as the nomination committee has been formed and in all events no later than six months before the next annual general meeting. The members of the nomination committee are appointed for a term starting upon announcement of the composition of the nomination committee and running until a new nomination committee has been appointed.

In the event that the ownership structure of the company is changed after 31 August but before announcement of the nomination committee's complete proposals, and if a shareholder that after this change has become one of the four largest shareholders in the company in terms of votes makes a request to the chairman of the nomination committee to be part of the nomination committee, this shareholder shall have the right to appoint an additional member of the nomination committee. The nomination committee may further resolve that a member who has become significantly smaller than the fourth largest shareholder in the company in terms of votes shall resign from the nomination committee, if deemed appropriate.

If a member of the nomination committee resigns during the term of office or otherwise is unable to continue as member, the nomination committee shall request the shareholder that had appointed that member to, within reasonable time, appoint a new member. If the shareholder renounces its right to appoint a member, the right to appoint such new member shall pass to the largest shareholder in turn in terms of votes which is not already represented on, or has renounced its right to appoint a member to the nomination committee. Changes to the composition of the nomination committee shall be announced as soon as they occur.

The nomination committee shall prepare proposals in respect of the following issues for the next annual general meeting to resolve upon:

• chairman of the annual general meeting,
• members of the board of directors,
• chairman of the board of directors,
• remuneration to the board of directors, distributed between the chairman of the board of directors and the other members of the board of directors,

Item 15 – Resolution on the board of directors’ proposal regarding a long-term incentive program 2022 (LTI 2022) based on warrants and employee stock options
The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves in accordance with the board of directors’ proposal to adopt a long-term incentive program for employees within Xspray Pharma (“Option Programme 2022”) in accordance with items 15(a) – 15(c) below. The resolutions under the items are proposed to be conditional upon each other. The Option Programme 2022 is proposed to include a maximum of 27 employees within Xspray Pharma.

Proposal regarding the adoption of Option Programme 2022 (item 15 (a))

The programme in brief

The Option Programme 2022 comprises a combination of warrants and employee stock options and shall be offered to employees within Xspray Pharma. For each warrant that an employee acquires at a price corresponding to the market value, two employee stock options are received free of charge in accordance with what is set out below. The warrants and the employee stock options shall have the same exercise price for obtaining of shares and shall be able to be exercised after approximately 3 years, after which the holder is entitled to exercise the options to subscribe for shares during a period of one month.

The board of directors therefore proposes that the annual general meeting resolves on the issue and transfer of a maximum of 421,880 warrants, of which a maximum of 140,627 warrants may be transferred to participants at a price corresponding to the market value and a maximum of 281,254 warrants may be transferred in order to secure delivery of shares upon exercise of the employee stock options. The right to subscribe for warrants shall vest with Xspray Pharma, which shall transfer the warrants at a price corresponding to the market value to entitled participants or hold the warrants to ensure delivery of shares upon exercise of employee stock options to participants. Each warrant and employee stock option entitles the holder to subscribe for one share. The warrants are issued free of charge to Xspray Pharma and the last day for allotment to the participants according to the Option Programme 2022 shall be the day before the annual general meeting of Xspray Pharma 2023.

Below is a description of the terms and conditions for the warrants and the employee stock options.

Warrants

The company shall be able to transfer warrants to participants at a price corresponding to the market value of the warrants (i.e. the warrant premium) at the time of the offer. Warrants can be transferred to employees who have entered into a repurchase agreement with Xspray Pharma. The warrants are transferred to participants, current or new, on one occasion until the day before the annual general meeting of Xspray Pharma 2023.

The warrants can be exercised for subscription of shares during the period from 15 June 2025 up to and including 15 July 2025. Each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one new share in Xspray Pharma at a subscription price corresponding to 220 per cent of the volume weighted average share price during the 5 trading days immediately prior to the offer to subscribe for the warrants, however, as a minimum, the quota value of the share.

The issued warrants may, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, be subscribed free of charge by Xspray Pharma after which the warrants shall be offered to the participants. The transfer of the warrants shall be made at a price corresponding to the market value of the warrants (the warrant premium) at the time of the transfer, calculated according to the Black & Scholes valuation model. The valuation of the warrants shall be made by an appraiser or audit firm. In connection with the transfer of warrants to the participants, the company shall reserve the right to repurchase the warrants if the participant’s employment or assignment within the group ceases or if the participant in turn wishes to transfer the warrants before the warrants can be exercised according to the terms and conditions that apply to the warrants.

Employee stock options

The company will allot employee stock options to employees, provided that they have acquired warrants in accordance with what is set out above. For each acquired warrant, two employee stock options are offered free of charge. Each option entitles the employee to acquire one share in Xspray Pharma in accordance with the following terms and conditions:

• The employee stock options will be allotted free of charge.
• Allotment requires that an acquisition of employee stock options can take place legally and that, according to the board of director’s assessment, it can be carried out with reasonable administrative and financial efforts. The last day for allotment of employee stock options shall be the day before the annual general meeting 2023.
• Each employee stock option that is transferred entitles the holder to acquire one share in the company, provided that the participant, with certain exceptions, is still employed within the group until the employee stock options can be exercised in accordance with its terms, at an exercise price corresponding to 220 per cent of the volume weighted average share price during the 5 trading days immediately preceding the respective allotment of the employee stock options, however, as a minimum, the quota value of the share (the intention is that the exercise price shall correspond to the exercise price for the warrants acquired at the same time in accordance with what is set out above).
• The employee stock options are vested over a period of approximately three years from the time when allotment to the participants has taken place and may be exercised by the holder to subscribe for shares during the period 15 June 2025 to 15 July 2025.
• The employee stock options shall not constitute securities and may not be transferred or pledged.

Recalculation due to split, consolidation, new share issue, etc.

The exercise price of the options, determined as set out above, shall be rounded to the nearest SEK 0.10, whereby SEK 0.05 shall be rounded downwards. The exercise price and the number of shares that each warrant and employee stock option, respectively, entitles to subscription for shall be recalculated in the event of a split, consolidation, new share issue etc. in accordance with market practice. Upon full exercise of the options, the share capital will increase by SEK 421,880.

Preparation of the proposal, design and administration

The board of directors, or a special committee set up by the board, shall be responsible for preparing the detailed design and administration of the terms and conditions of the Option Programme 2022, in accordance with the presented terms and guidelines including provisions on recalculation in the event of an in-between bonus issue, share split, rights issue and/or similar events. In connection therewith, the board of directors shall be entitled to make adjustments to meet specific foreign regulations or market conditions. The board of directors shall also be entitled to make other adjustments if significant changes occur in the Xspray Pharma group or in its environment that would result in that the adopted terms for the Option Programme 2022 no longer fulfils their objectives.

Allocation of warrants and employee stock options

The right to receive warrants shall accrue to employees who have entered into a repurchase agreement with Xspray Pharma. For each acquired warrant, the employee receives two employee stock options free of charge. The maximum allocation of the total number of warrants and employee stock options is set out below. In the event of oversubscription within a category, the number of options is reduced pro rata based on how many options each participant has signed up to subscribe for. However, no participant shall receive more warrants than the options per person/category stated below. The company’s board of directors shall not be shall not be eligible to participate in the Option Program 2022.

Scope and costs for the Option Programme 2022

The transfer of the warrants shall be made at a price corresponding to the market value of the warrants at the time of the transfer, which entails that no social security contributions shall arise for the group in connection with the transfer of the warrants. The market value of the warrants amounts to, in accordance with a preliminary valuation, made based on a market value on the underlying share corresponding to SEK 58.60, SEK 5.90 per warrant, assuming an exercise price of SEK 128.9 per share. The Black & Scholes valuation model has been used for valuation of the warrants, assuming a risk-free interest of 1.00 per cent and a volatility of 45 per cent.

Costs related to the employee stock options are estimated to amount to SEK 1.4 million, excluding social contributions, accounted in accordance with IFRS 2 based on the following assumptions: (i) that 281,254 employee stock options are allotted, (ii) that the share price, at the beginning of the Option Programme 2022, is SEK 58.60 per share, and (iii) an estimated annual turnover of personnel of 5 per cent. Based on the same assumptions as above, and subject to social contributions of 31.42 per cent, and a share price increase of 150 per cent from the start of the Option Programme 2022 until the employee stock options are exercised, the costs for social contributions are estimated to amount to SEK 1.3 million. The total cost, including costs according to IFRS 2, is therefore estimated to a maximum of SEK 0.9 million per year.

Dilution and effects on key ratios

Upon maximum allotment of warrants and employee stock options, 421,880 warrants will be issued for new subscription of shares pursuant to the Option Programme 2022 and the dilution effect will amount to approximately 2.00 per cent of the number of shares in the company. The dilution of shares is based on full dilution. If all outstanding incentive programmes in the company are included in the calculation, including the now proposed program, the maximum dilution amounts to approximately 3.27 per cent.

The Option Programme 2022 is expected to have a marginal impact on the company's key ratios.

Delivery of warrants and shares pursuant to the Option Programme 2022

In order to ensure delivery of warrants and shares in accordance with the Option Programme 2022, the board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves on the issue and exercise of warrants in accordance with items 15(b) and 15(c) below.

Proposal regarding issue and transfer of warrants to participants at a price corresponding to the market value (item 15 (b))

The board of directors proposes that the company shall issue not more than 140,627 warrants for subscription of shares, whereby the company’s share capital may be increased by not more than SEK 140,627.

The right to subscribe for warrants shall only vest with Xspray Pharma, with the right and obligation to dispose of the warrants as described above, primarily with regard to transfer to participants in the Option Programme 2022. Each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one share. The warrants shall be issued free of charge to Xspray Pharma. There can be no over-allotment. Subscription of warrants shall be made on the subscription list until 29 May 2022. The board of directors has the right to extend the subscription period.

Proposal regarding issue and transfer of warrants to secure delivery of shares pursuant to the terms of the employee stock options (item 15 (c))

The board of directors proposes that the company shall issue not more than 281,254 warrants to secure the delivery of shares pursuant to the terms of the employee stock options, of which the company’s share capital may be increased by a maximum of SEK 281,254.

The right to subscribe for warrants shall only vest with Xspray Pharma, with the right and obligation to dispose of the warrants as described above with regard to transfer to participants in the Option Programme 2022 or, alternatively, a financial intermediary, upon exercise of the warrants. Each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one share. The warrants shall be issued free of charge to Xspray Pharma. There can be no over-allotment. Subscription of warrants shall be made on the subscription list until 29 May 2022. Payment shall be made in connection with the subscription. The board of directors has the right to extend the subscription period.

The background and rationale for the proposal

The purpose of the Option Programme 2022 is to create the conditions for motivating and retaining competent employees within the Xspray Pharma group and to increase the coherence between the employees’, shareholders’ and the company’s objectives, as well as to increase the motivation to reach and exceed the company’s financial targets. The Option Programme 2022 has been designed so that the programme includes both current and future senior executives.

By offering options that are based on the share price development, the participants are premiered for increased shareholder value. The Option Programme 2022 also rewards employees’ continued loyalty and thus the long-term value growth of the company. After these considerations, the board of directors considers that the Option Programme 2022 will have a positive effect on the future development of the Xspray Pharma group and will consequently be beneficial for both the company and its shareholders

Preparation of the matter

The Option Programme 2022 has been prepared by the company’s board of directors and its remuneration committee in consultation with external advisors. The Option Programme 2022 has been discussed by the board of directors at a meeting held in April 2022.

The board of directors, or any person appointed by the board of directors, shall be authorised to make minor adjustments of the resolution adopted by the annual general meeting in order to fulfil the registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Sw. Bolagsverket).

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to authorise the board of directors, at one or several occasions and for the period until the next annual general meeting, to increase the company’s share capital by issuing new shares. Such share issue resolution may be made with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights and with or without provisions for contribution in kind or set-off or other conditions. The authorisation may only be utilized to the extent that it corresponds to a dilution of not more than 20 per cent of the total number of shares outstanding at the time of the general meeting’s resolution on the proposed authorisation.

The purpose of the authorisation is to increase the financial flexibility of the company and the general flexibility of the board of directors. Should the board of directors resolve on a share issue with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, the reason for this shall be to ensure the company’s continued development, finance an acquisition of operations, to procure capital to finance the development of projects or to potentially broaden the shareholder base. Upon such deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, the new issue shall be made at market terms and conditions.

The CEO is authorised to make such minor adjustments to this decision that may be necessary in connection with the registration.
