Proposal in respect of resolution on authorization for the Board to resolve on new issue of ordinary shares, warrants and convertibles (item 12)
The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to authorize the Board to, up until the next Annual General Meeting, on one or several occasions, and with or without preferential rights for the shareholders, resolve on a new issue of ordinary shares or warrants or convertibles attributable to such shares. The new issue of shares, warrants or convertibles in accordance with the authorization is to be paid in cash, in kind or by way of set-off. The Board's authorization shall be limited in that the total number of ordinary shares, the number of ordinary shares to which convertibles may be converted into and the number of ordinary shares that may be subscribed for by way of exercise of warrants issued under the authorization is limited to a maximum of ten (10) percent of the total number of ordinary shares in the company at the time of the first new issue resolution (where, for the avoidance of doubt, ordinary shares issued based on this authorization shall not be included in the calculation of the number of ordinary shares in the company at the time of the resolution of a new share issue).
The reason for the authorization and the reason for the possible deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights in connection with a new share issues is, where applicable, to (i) enable payment with own shares in connection with acquisitions of companies, businesses or real property, or (ii) offer shares to investors in connection with capital raising and/or broadening the shareholder base.
The new share issues shall be made on a marketable subscription price, taking into account any discount on market terms where applicable. If the Board finds it appropriate to facilitate delivery of shares in connection with raising of capital and/or broadening the shareholder base, the new shares may be subscribed for by a bank or a securities company at a subscription price corresponding to the quota value, provided that a commitment of contribution to the company of a value corresponding to the difference between a marketable subscription price with a possible deduction for marketable discount and the newly issued shares' quota value has been obtained.
Majority requirement
The resolution is valid only where supported by shareholders holding not less than two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.
Authorization
The Board shall be authorized to make any minor adjustments in the Annual General Meeting's resolution that may be required in connection with registration of the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB.
Proposal in respect of resolution on authorization for the Board to resolve on repurchase of own ordinary shares (item 13)
The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to authorize the Board to resolve on repurchase of own ordinary shares on the following terms and conditions.
The Board may exercise the authorization on one or several occasions until the next Annual General Meeting.
Repurchase may be done of so many ordinary shares that the company's holding of own ordinary shares, following the purchase, amounts to a maximum of ten percent of all shares in the company. Repurchase of own ordinary shares shall be made on Nasdaq Stockholm. Repurchase of own ordinary shares shall be made at a price per ordinary share within the prevailing price interval for the ordinary shares on Nasdaq Stockholm. Payment for acquired ordinary shares shall be made in cash. The rationale for the authorization is to enable the Board to customize and improve the company's capital structure and thereby create additional shareholder value and/or to enable the use of repurchased own ordinary shares as consideration for, or as financing of, acquisitions of companies, businesses or real property (including payment of any earn-out).
The Board shall have the right to decide on other terms and conditions for the repurchase of own ordinary shares in accordance with the authorization.
Majority requirement
The resolution is valid only where supported by shareholders holding not less than two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.
Authorization
The Board shall be authorized to make any minor adjustments in the Annual General Meeting's resolution that may be required in connection with registration of the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB.
Proposal in respect of resolution on authorization for the Board to resolve on transfer of own ordinary shares (item 14)
The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to authorize the Board to resolve on transfer of own ordinary shares on the following terms and conditions.
The Board may exercise the authorization on one or several occasions until the next Annual General Meeting.
Transfer may be made of own ordinary shares that the company holds at the time of the Board's decision. Transfers of own ordinary shares may be made on Nasdaq Stockholm and in other ways than on Nasdaq Stockholm. Transfer of own ordinary shares on Nasdaq Stockholm shall be made at a price per ordinary share within the prevailing price interval for the ordinary shares on Nasdaq Stockholm. Transfer of own ordinary shares in other ways than on Nasdaq Stockholm may be made with deviation from the shareholders' preferential right at a price per ordinary share which is not less than on market terms. Thus, a marketable discount in relation to the ordinary share's market price may be applied. Payment for ordinary shares transferred in any other way than on Nasdaq Stockholm may be made in cash, in kind or by way of set-off.
The rationale for a possible deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights in the event of transfer of own ordinary shares in any other way than on Nasdaq Stockholm is to enable the use of own ordinary shares as consideration for, or as financing of, acquisitions of companies, businesses or real property (including payment of any earn-out).
The Board shall have the right to decide on other terms and conditions for the transfer of own ordinary shares in accordance with the authorization.
Majority requirement
The resolution is valid only where supported by shareholders holding not less than two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.
Authorization
The Board shall be authorized to make any minor adjustments in the Annual General Meeting's resolution that may be required in connection with registration of the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB.
