Such registration may be temporary (so-called “voting right registration”) and is requested from the nominee in accordance with the nominee’s procedures at such time in advance as determined by the nominee. Voting rights registration that has been made by the nominee not later than Wednesday, May 8, 2024 will be taken into account in the preparation of the share register.

Item 10 Resolution regarding number of Board members and deputy members

Item 11 Determination of fees for members of the Board of Directors
The Nomination Committee proposes that fees until the close of the next Annual General Meeting shall be paid in the amount of SEK 200,000 to each Board member who is not employed by the company and SEK 400,000 to the Chairman of the Board.
Item 12. Election of Directors and Chairman of the Board.
The Nomination Committee proposes:
Re-election of Board members Torben Jørgensen, Mikael Lönn, Steve Jordan, Magnus Gustafsson and Lotta Ljungqvist.
Re-election of Torben Jørgensen as Chairman of the Board.
Item 13 Resolution on fees to auditors
The Nomination Committee proposes that remuneration to the auditors shall be paid on approved account.
Item 14 Election of auditor
The Nomination Committee proposes re-election of registered auditing firm Öhrlings PricewaterhouseCoopers AB (“PWC”). PWC has announced that in the event that PWC is elected, Neda Feher will be appointed auditor in charge.
Item 15 Appointment of members to the Nomination Committee and adoption of guidelines for the Nomination Committee
The Nomination Committee proposes that the Committee for the 2025 AGM will consist of representatives of the four largest shareholders as of September 30, 2024. The Nomination Committee shall appoint a chairman from among its members. It is incumbent upon the Chairman of the Board to convene the Nomination Committee. Should a shareholder decline to participate on the Nomination Committee, the right to appoint a representative shall be transferred to the next largest shareholder not represented in the committee. If deemed appropriate as a result of ownership changes, the Nomination Committee shall invite additional shareholders to join the Nomination Committee, though the total number of members may not exceed five. In the event a member of the Nomination Committee leaves the Committee before its work is completed, the Chairman of the Board, if the Nomination Committee deems necessary, shall invite the same shareholder or, if the latter is no longer one of the major shareholders, the shareholder next entitled, in terms of size of shareholding, to appoint a replacement. Such a change shall be announced on the company’s website. The Nomination Committee will prepare proposals for the 2025 Annual General Meeting for resolution as regards chairman at the meeting, Chairman of the Board and other directors, remuneration of directors and auditors, and principles for appointing the Nomination Committee. The Nomination Committee mandate runs until a new committee is appointed.
The Nomination Committee proposes that remuneration will only be paid for direct costs associated with the assignment.
Item 16 The Board’s proposal authorizing the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of shares.
The Board proposes that the Meeting authorize the Board, on one or more occasions until the next Annual General Meeting, with or without preferential rights for shareholders, to issue new shares, convertible bonds or warrants. New shares may be paid for in cash and/or in kind or set-off or on other terms. This decision would mean that the share capital could be increased up to a maximum total of SEK 1,625,000 through the issuance of a maximum total of 6,500,000 new shares. When deciding on issuances without preferential rights for
shareholders, the subscription shall be market-based at the time of the issue resolution.
The reason for the possible deviation from shareholders’ preferential rights is to broaden the ownership group, acquire, or facilitate the raising of working capital, increase the liquidity of shares, carry out acquisitions, or procure or permit the raising of capital for acquisitions.
For a valid resolution under this item, the Meeting's resolution must be supported by shareholders representing at least two thirds of both the voting rights and the shares represented at the Meeting.
