PROPOSALS FOR RESOLUTIONS
Item 2 - Election of chairman of the meeting
The board of directors proposes that attorney Emil Hedberg, or in case of his impediment, the person instead appointed by the board of directors, to be elected as chairman of the extraordinary general meeting.
Item 3 - Preparation and approval of the voting list
The voting list which is proposed to be approved under item 3 shall be the voting list prepared by the company, based on the general meeting's share register, shareholders who have registered to participate and are present at the general meeting, as well as postal votes received. The voting list shall be reviewed by the persons verifying the minutes.
Item 7 - Resolution on approval of the board of directors' resolution on a directed issue of shares
The board of directors proposes that the extraordinary general meeting resolves to approve the board of directors' resolution on 15 April 2025 on a new issue of a maximum of 9,000,000 shares, entailing a maximum increase of the share capital of SEK 90,000. Otherwise, the following conditions shall apply for the share issue.
- The right to subscribe for shares shall, with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, only vest with Adam Nawrocki. Oversubscription may not occur.
- The subscription price is SEK 1.0 per share. The amount that exceeds the share's quota value shall be transferred to the unrestricted premium reserve.
- The company's board of directors has made an overall evaluation and carefully considered raising the necessary capital only through a rights issue instead, but has made the assessment that, for several reasons, it is more favorable for the company and the shareholders to partially raise capital through directed issues. Among other things, directed issues lower the need for guarantee commitments in the rights issue and thus also the fee to guarantors. The directed issue also contributes to strengthening the shareholder base in the company with strong investors, which is considered positive in a long-term perspective. The subscription price in the directed issue corresponds to the subscription price in the rights issue resolved by the board of directors on 15 April 2025 and has been determined through arm's length negotiations with the investors and through analysis of a number of market factors such as the company's financing needs, opportunity cost for other financing and assessed market interest for an investment in the company. It is the board of directors' assessment, based on the above factors, that the subscription price reflects current market conditions and current demand. Against this background, the board of directors assesses that the subscription price in the directed share issue is in line with market conditions.
- Subscription and payment of shares shall be made no later than seven (7) business days after the rights issue, resolved by the board of directors on 15 April 2025, has been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office. The board of directors shall have the right to extend the time for subscription and payment.
- The new shares issued in the directed issue shall carry a right to dividends commencing on the first record date that occurs after the registration of the shares with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and the entry of the shares in the share register kept by Euroclear Sweden AB.
The board of directors, the CEO, or anyone appointed by the board of directors or the CEO, shall be authorised to make such minor amendments to the above resolution as may be necessary in connection with the registration of the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or Euroclear Sweden AB or due to other formal requirements.
Item 8 - Resolution on approval of the board of directors' resolution on a directed issue of convertible debentures
The board of directors proposes that the extraordinary general meeting resolves to approve the board of directors' resolution on 15 April 2025 that the company shall raise a convertible loan with an aggregate nominal amount of up to SEK 10,800,000 through a directed issue of convertible debentures under the following terms and conditions.
- The right to subscribe for the convertible debentures shall, with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, vest with Van Iperen International B.V. The reason for deviating from the shareholders' preferential rights is that the board believes it would not have been possible to obtain equivalent capital contributions in any other form or on more favorable terms for the company and its shareholders. The board of directors has carefully considered the possibility of conducting a rights issue of convertible debentures or a larger rights issue of shares than the one resolved by the board of directors on 15 April 2025. It has been determined that such capital raising would require a significantly longer implementation period and considerably higher costs. A longer implementation period could mean that the company misses out on the commercial opportunities that the capital contribution aims to create. Additionally, such an issuance would likely result in higher costs and would need to be conducted at a lower subscription price. Therefore, the board of directors believes that the directed issue of convertible debentures, together with the rights issue and directed issues of shares resolved by the board of directors on 15 April 2025, constitutes the most appropriate financing alternative for the company and its shareholders. Furthermore, the company regards the eligible subscriber as a long-term strategic investor.
- The nominal amount of the convertible debentures is 1 SEK or multiples thereof. The convertible debentures carry a fixed annual interest rate of four per cent from (but excluding) the issuance date of the convertible debentures until (and including) the due date. Accrued interest shall be capitalized on the anniversary of the issuance of the convertible debentures. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve (12) months of thirty (30) days each and, in case of an incomplete month, the actual number of days elapsed (30/360-days basis).
- The subscription price corresponds to the nominal amount of the convertible debentures. Thus, the subscription price is SEK 1 per convertible debenture. The conversion price is SEK 3.36 per share. The subscription price and conversion price have been determined based on negotiations with the eligible investor at arm's length and in consultation with a financial advisor. The board believes, based on these negotiations, that the subscription price and conversion price are market-oriented.
- Subscription through payment for the convertible debentures shall take place no later than on 16 April 2025. The board of directors has the right to extend the subscription and payment period
- The nominal amount, including accrued interest, falls due for payment on 31 May 2028, to the extent that conversion has not taken place prior to that date.
- The holder has the right to convert the convertible debentures into shares during the period from the date of registration of the convertible debentures with the Swedish Companies Registration Office until 30 May 2028.
- Upon full conversion of the nominal amount, including capitalized interest, the company's share capital will increase by no more than SEK 36,156.34 through the issue of 3,615,634 new shares. When converting the convertible debentures into shares, the portion of the payment that exceeds the quota value of the share shall be entirely allocated to the unrestricted premium reserve.
- Complete terms and conditions for the convertible debentures are outlined in the "Terms and conditions for convertible debentures issued by Cinis Fertilizer", which will be held available on the company's website.
For a valid resolution, the support of shareholders representing at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting is required.
The board of directors, the CEO, or anyone appointed by the board of directors or the CEO, shall be authorised to make such minor amendments to the above resolution as may be necessary in connection with the registration of the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or Euroclear Sweden AB or due to other formal requirements.
