In order to enable the execution of the Rights Issue, the Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting resolves on:
A.1 Reduction of the share capital limits
in the Articles of Association
A.2 Reduction of the share capital
B.1 Increase of the limits for the number
of shares in the Articles of
Association
B.2 Approval of the Board of Directors'
resolution on rights issue of Units
C.1 Increase of the share capital limits in
the Articles of Association
C.2 Bonus issue without issuance of shares
In order to reduce the quota value of the Company's shares after the execution of the Rights Issue, the Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting resolves on:
D.1 Reduction of the share capital limits in the Articles of Association
D.2 Reduction of the share capital subject to approval from the Swedish
Companies Registration Office or public court
The Board of Director's resolution on a rights issue of Units is conditional upon that the General Meeting resolves in accordance with items A-C. The General Meeting's resolutions in accordance with items A-C are mutually conditioned upon each resolution and the General Meeting's resolution in accordance with item D is conditional upon that the General Meeting also resolves in accordance with items A-C. A valid resolution by the General Meeting in accordance with items A-D requires that the resolution is supported by shareholders representing at least two thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the General Meeting.
The Board of Directors' report and the Auditor's statement pursuant to Chapter 12, Section 7, Chapter 13, Section 6 and Chapter 14, Section 8 of the Swedish Companies Acts regarding events of material significance for the Company's position which have occurred subsequent to the presentation of the annual report, as well as an Auditor's statement pursuant to Chapter 20, Section 14, have been prepared and are held available on the Company's website.
The CEO, or anyone appointed by the CEO, shall be authorised to make such minor amendments to the General Meeting's resolutions in accordance with items A-D as may be necessary in connection with the registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and/or Euroclear Sweden AB.
A.1 Reduction of the share capital limits in the Articles of Association
In order to enable the execution of the Board of Directors' resolution proposal on a reduction of the share capital in accordance with item A.2 below, the Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting resolves to amend the Company's Articles of Association as follows:
Current wording Proposed new wording
§ 4 Share § 4 Share capitalThe share capital shall not be less than
capitalThe share SEK 2,670,000 and not more than SEK 10,680,000.
capital shall not
be less than
SEK 27,302,316.80
and not more than
SEK 109,209,267.20.
A.2 Reduction of the share capital
The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting resolves on a reduction of the Company's share capital of SEK 77,516,796.329808, from SEK 80,187,450.799808 to SEK 2,670,654.470000. The reduction shall be made without cancellation of shares. The reduction amount shall be allocated as non-restricted equity. The reduction is made in order to reduce the quota value of the shares. Following the reduction, the Company's share capital divided between all 267,065,447 shares in the Company (prior to the issue which is proposed to be approved in accordance with item B.2 below) entails a quota value of SEK 0.01 for each share.
The Board of Directors' statement pursuant to Chapter 20, Section 13, fourth paragraph of the Swedish Companies Act
The Board of Directors' proposal on approval of the Board of Directors' resolution on a rights issue of Units in accordance with item B.2 below, entails that the Company's share capital is increased with not more than SEK 5,007,477 through a new issue of shares of series B, and the Board of Directors' resolution proposal on the bonus issue in accordance with item C.2 below entails that the Company's share capital is increased by an additional SEK 78,000,000. By carrying out the new issue of shares and the bonus issue, which increases the share capital by at least the reduction amount, at the same time as the capital reduction, the Company may execute the reduction resolution without approval from the Swedish Companies Registration Office or public court, since the measures taken together do not result in a decrease of the Company's restricted equity nor share capital.
B.1 Increase of the limits for the number of shares in the Articles of Association
In order to enable the execution of the Board of Directors' resolution proposal on approval of the Board of Directors' resolution on a rights issue of Units in accordance with item B.2 below, the Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting resolves to amend the Company's Articles of Association as follows:

The warrants of series TO13 B are issued without consideration.
4. Each warrant of series TO13 B entitles to subscription of one (1) new share of series B in the Company, at a subscription price of SEK 0.24 per share of series B.

1.
a. first, to those who have also subscribed for Units with support of unit rights, regardless of whether or not the subscriber was a shareholder on the record date, pro rata in relation to the number of Units subscribed for with support of unit rights, and, to the extent that this is not possible, by drawing lots;
b. second, to others who have subscribed for Units without preferential right, pro rata in relation to the number of Units thus subscribed for without preferential right, and, to the extent that this is not possible, by drawing lots;
c. third, to underwriters of the issue, in proportion to the respective guarantee commitment.
8. Subscription of Units with support of unit rights shall be made through simultaneous cash payment. Subscription of Units without support of unit rights shall be made on a particular subscription list and thereby allotted Units shall be paid in cash not later than three banking days following a notice of allotment sent to the subscriber. The Board of Directors is entitled to postpone the time for the payment.
9. Subscription shall only be made in Units and thus not in shares of series B or warrants of series TO13 B separately. Allotment shall be made in Units only. However, following the execution of the issue, the shares of series B and the warrants of series TO13B will be separated.
10. The new shares of series B and new shares of series B issued through exercise of warrants of series TO13 B shall entitle to dividend for the first time on the record date for dividend that occurs following the registration of the new shares of series B with the Swedish Registration Office and having been entered in the Company's share register kept by Euroclear Sweden AB.
11. The CEO, or anyone appointed by the CEO, shall be authorised to make such minor amendments to the resolutions above as may be necessary in connection with the registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and/or Euroclear Sweden AB.
In order for holders of the Company's warrants of series 2020/2023(A) and series 2020/2023(B) to be entitled to participate in the issue with shares issued in connection with exercise of such warrants, such exercise of warrants shall be executed on 6 May 2024 at the latest. To the extent such exercise of warrants is executed in such time that does not entitle to participation in the issue, recalculation will be carried out in accordance with the terms and conditions of the warrants.
In case of exercise of the Company's warrants of series 2020/2023(A) and series 2020/2023(B) within the period of time stated above, the resolution shall be considered to entail that an additional number of not more than 578,568 Units (consisting of new shares of series B and warrants of series TO13 B) can be issued, including a corresponding additional increase of the Company's share capital through new issue of shares of series B and exercise of warrants of series TO13 B for subscription of shares.
The issue resolution is conditional upon that a prospectus regarding offer to the public of the new shares of series B and warrants of series TO13 B and admission to trading of the shares of series B is approved and registered by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority, and that Nasdaq Stockholm AB approves the application on admittance to trading of the new shares of series B and warrants of series TO13 B.
