Authorizing the Board of Directors to decide to repurchase the Company's own shares The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM authorize the Board to decide to repurchase a maximum of 7,711,079 of the Company's own shares in one or several tranches using the Company's unrestricted equity, in which case any buyback will reduce the amount of the Company's distributable earnings. Company may buy back shares in order to develop its capital structure, finance and implement any corporate acquisitions or other transactions, implement share- based incentive plans, or otherwise dispose of or cancel them. The Company may buy back shares, based on a. A bid submitted to all shareholders on equal terms and conditions in proportion to their current holdings in Company shares and at the same price, decided by the Board of Directors; or b. In public trading on marketplaces whose rules and regulations allow the Company to trade in its own shares. In such a case, the Company buys back shares through a directed purchase, that is, in a proportion other than its shareholders' holdings in Company shares, with the consideration for the shares based on their publicly quoted market price. The Board proposes that the authorization be valid until April 30, 2014. This authorization shall supersede the buyback authorization granted at the AGM of March 28, 2012. 17. Authorization to the Board of Directors to decide on a share issue and on the granting of stock options and other special rights giving entitlement to shares The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM authorize the Board to decide on a share issue of a maximum of 30,000,000 shares or to grant special rights (including stock options) entitling holders to shares as referred to in Chapter 10 Section 1 of the Companies Act, in one or several tranches. This authorization is proposed to be used to finance and implement any prospective corporate acquisitions or other transactions, to implement the company's share-based incentive plans, or for other purposes determined by the Board. The authorization is also proposed to grant the Board the right to decide on all terms and conditions governing said share issue and the granting of special rights, including the subscribers or the grantees of said special rights and the payable consideration. Moreover, the authorization also includes the right to waive shareholders' pre-emptive subscription rights, thus enabling private placement of shares. The Board's authorization covers both the issue of new shares and the transfer of any treasury shares possibly held by the Company. The Board proposes that the authorization be valid until April 30, 2014. This authorization shall supersede the authorization to decide on a share issue and on the granting of special rights giving entitlement to shares granted in the AGM of March 28, 2012. 18. Board proposal regarding reverse share split under Chapter 15 Section 9 of the Companies Act and the related share redemption in a proportion other than shareholder's holdings The Board proposes that the number of Company shares be decreased, without decreasing the share capital, by means of a reverse share split which merges ten (10) existing shares into one (1) new share for the purposes set out in Chapter 15 Section 9 of the Companies Act and in observance of the procedure specified therein. The purpose of the reverse share split is to improve the share trading conditions and price formation, and to increase the value of individual shares. The Board therefore holds that the company has a weighty financial reason for the proposed reverse share split and the related share redemption. The reverse share split is proposed to be accomplished by redeeming from each shareholder a number of shares determined in accordance with a redemption ratio of 9/10, i.e. nine (9) out of every ten (10) shares will be redeemed. The shares in excess of the nearest integer divisible by ten will additionally be redeemed from shareholders whose holding is not divisible by ten at the record date of the reverse share split (rounding). The number of shares shall be evaluated separately for each book-entry account. The redemption will be carried out without compensation with the exception of payment based on rounding as referred to in Chapter 15 Section 9 of the Companies Act. The redemption will be carried out as specified in the section referred to above in a proportion other than the shareholders' holdings. Shares redeemed in connection with the reverse share split will be cancelled, with the exception of excess shares that are redeemed due to rounding, combined with each other and sold. Subsequent to the reverse share split, the Company will without delay, on behalf of the shareholders concerned, sell in public trading as regulated the combined excess shares redeemable due to the aforementioned rounding. The funds derived from the share sales are paid to the shareholders in proportion to the differences obtained by subtracting from the number of shares redeemable from each shareholder the number of shares redeemable in the absence of rounding. Interest at the reference rate valid from time to time as provided by Section 12 of the Interest Act will be paid on the funds for the period between the share redemption date and the date of remittance of the funds. The record date of the reverse share split, according to which the right to the funds derived from shares sold on the basis of rounding is determined, is March 27, 2013. The redeemed shares will be cancelled and the number of shares after the reverse share split will be entered in the Trade Register on March 27, 2013. The implementation of the reverse share split and the related redemption will register in the shareholder's book-entry accounts and trading in the post-reverse split shares will commence on March 28, 2013, upon completion of the reverse share split. The funds derived from shares sold on the basis of rounding will be paid to shareholders on or about April 8, 2013 providing that the sale of all the shares can be accomplished by March 28, 2013 at the latest. If not, the payment of fractions will take place on the fifth banking day following the execution of the final sale. Implementation of the arrangement will not require any actions from the shareholders. Should this reverse share split proposal be approved and implemented, the Board proposals for authorizations under items 16 and 17 above will be modified in such a manner that after the reverse share split the numbers of shares will be: * The Board authorization to buy back Company shares in accordance with item 16 above concerns a maximum of 771,107 shares; and * The Board authorization on a share issue granting special rights giving entitlement to shares in accordance with item 17 above concerns a maximum of 3,000,000 shares. 19.
