Proposal for the agenda
Proposed decision in brief:
Approval of the Board of Directors' resolution on a rights issue of shares (item 7)
To increase the company's share capital by a maximum of SEK 50,733.32 through a rights issue of a maximum of 1,268,333 shares at a subscription price of SEK 3.22 per share.
The following conditions shall otherwise apply to the issue:
Thirdly, new shares subscribed for without subscription rights shall be allocated to the underwriters in proportion to the size of the underwriting commitments, and to the extent that this cannot be done, by drawing lots.
The Board of Directors' proposal for a resolution on authorization to decide on share issues (item 8)
The Board of Directors proposes that the Extraordinary General Meeting resolves to authorize the Board of Directors to decide on the issue of a maximum number of shares within the limits of the Articles of Association, with or without deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights. The authorization shall be exercisable on two occasions, until the annual general meeting in 2025 at the latest, to issue shares to those who did not receive full subscription in the rights issue and for any guarantee compensation to guarantors in the rights issue. The Board of Directors shall be authorized to decide on the detailed terms of the rights issue on each occasion.
In order for the company's current shareholders not to be disadvantaged in relation to the external investor(s) who may subscribe for shares, the board of directors finds it appropriate that the issue, with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, shall be made at the board of directors' market-based subscription price, subject to a market-based issue discount where applicable. In addition to cash payment, payment may also be made in kind or by set-off, or otherwise with conditions.
A resolution in accordance with this proposal requires the support of shareholders representing at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the general meeting.
Election of a new Board member (item 9)
Shareholders in the company have proposed the election of Malcolm William Frank Allan as a new board member.
Description of Malcolm Allan:
