Proposals for resolutions to be presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting of Orrön Energy AB on Wednesday 7 August 2024

Item 2: Resolutions in respect of Chair of the Extraordinary General Meeting
The Board of Directors proposes that Advokat Klaes Edhall is elected as Chair of the Extraordinary General Meeting or, if he is absent, any other person appointed by the Board of Directors.

Item 3: Preparation and approval of the voting register
The Board of Directors proposes that the register prepared by Computershare AB (on behalf of the Company) based on the Company’s share register, shareholders attending in person or through proxy and postal votes received by the Company is approved as voting register for the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Item 7: Resolution in respect of an amendment of the Articles of Association
The Board of Directors greatly values all genuine interactions with shareholders of the Company. However, considering the Company’s large international shareholder base, the limited number of physically attending shareholders at the latest General Meetings, and, considering the disruptive and hostile behaviour of a number of shareholders and their advisors at the Annual General Meeting 2024, including health and safety aspects, the Board of Directors believes that it would be beneficial for the Company and its shareholders if the Company had an option to hold General Meetings digitally with remote participation by shareholders. Should the Board of Directors in the future decide that a General Meeting shall be held digitally, it is intended that a “townhall” meeting will be held in close connection with the General Meeting, to allow shareholders an opportunity to meet and ask questions to representatives of the Board of Directors and the Management Team in an orderly manner.

The Board of Directors therefore proposes that the Extraordinary General Meeting resolves to amend the Articles of Association by adding the following paragraph as a new last paragraph to article § 11 (Participation at general meetings of shareholders) of the Articles of Association.

“The Board of Directors may decide that a general meeting shall be held digitally.”

The proposed new Articles of Association are available in their entirety at the Company’s website, www.orron.com.

A resolution in accordance with the Board of Directors’ proposal requires the support of shareholders representing at least two thirds (2/3) of the votes cast and of the shares represented at the Extraordinary
General Meeting.

Item 8: Resolution to a) reduce the share capital through cancellation of own shares held in treasury, and b) increase of the share capital through a bonus issue

Background
The Company holds 19,427 own shares in treasury as a result of a legacy corporate transaction, and the Board of Directors currently sees no use for this limited number of shares. Consequently, the Board of Directors proposes that the Extraordinary General Meeting resolves to reduce the share capital through cancellation of all 19,427 shares held in treasury and increase the share capital through a bonus issue in accordance with items 8 a) – 8 b) below.

Item 8 a): Resolution to reduce the share capital with retirement of 19,427 shares held in treasury
The Board of Directors proposes that the Extraordinary General Meeting resolves on a reduction of the Company’s share capital with retirement of shares on the following terms.

The share capital is to be reduced by SEK 236.36. The reduction of the share capital is to be made with retirement of 19,427 shares that are held in treasury by the Company. The purpose of the reduction of the share capital is allocation to unrestricted equity. Accordingly, the Company will not pay or receive any payment for the retired shares.

The Company may implement the resolution to reduce the share capital without authorisation from the Swedish Companies Registration Office or, if disputed, by a Swedish court of general jurisdiction, since the Company simultaneously carries out a bonus issue of SEK 236.36 in accordance with the proposal under item 8 b) below. Combined, the reduction of the share capital pursuant the proposal under this item 8 a) and the increase of the share capital pursuant to item 8 b) result in that neither the Company’s restricted equity nor its share capital is reduced.

Item 8 b): Resolution to increase the share capital through a bonus issue
The Board of Directors proposes that the Extraordinary General Meeting resolves to increase the Company’s share capital through a bonus issue on the following terms.

The share capital is to be increased by SEK 236.36. No new shares are to be issued in connection with the increase of the share capital. The amount by which the share capital is to be increased shall be transferred to the share capital from unrestricted equity.

The purpose of the bonus issue is to restore the Company’s restricted equity and share capital after the reduction of the share capital proposed under item 8 a) above.

Majority requirements, etc.
The Board of Directors’ proposes that the Extraordinary General Meeting resolves on the proposals under items 8 a) and 8 b) as one joint resolution, since the matters are interrelated. Accordingly, the resolution requires the support of shareholders representing at least two thirds (2/3) of the votes cast and of the shares represented at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Number of shares and votes in the Company
The Company’s share capital amounts to SEK 3,478,713.38, represented by 285,924,614 shares. Each share carries one vote. As of the date of this notice, the Company holds 19,427 own shares in treasury.

Shareholders’ right to request information
The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer shall, if a shareholder so requests and the Board of Directors considers that it may do so without significant damage to the Company, give information at the Extraordinary General Meeting regarding circumstances that could affect the assessment of an item on the agenda.

Additional documentation
Complete proposals and other documents that shall be made available prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting pursuant to the Swedish Companies Act and the Swedish Corporate Governance Code are available at the Company’s office (Hovslagargatan 5 in Stockholm) and on www.orron.com. The documents will be sent to shareholders free of charge upon request if their postal address is provided.
