It is proposed that the chairman shall instruct the three shareholders with the largest holdings of shares/votes in the Company to each appoint a representative that together with the chairman shall constitute the nomination committee.

Item 12 – Resolution on the authorization of the board of directors to resolve on the issue of new shares/convertibles/warrants
The board of directors propose that the shareholders’ meeting authorizes the board of directors, for the time until the next annual general meeting, to issue shares, warrants and/or convertibles.
This may be done at one or several occasions and with or without deviation from the shareholders' pre-emption rights and/or an issue in kind, an issue by way of set-off or any other conditions.
An issue in accordance with this authorization shall be on market conditions. The board of directors shall be authorized to decide on the terms and conditions regarding issues under this authorization and what persons shall be entitled to subscribe for the shares, warrants and/or convertible instruments. The reason to propose that the board of directors shall be authorized to resolve on an issue with deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights and that the board shall be authorized to decide on an issue in kind or an issue by way of set-off or otherwise on such terms and conditions as referred to above is in connection with acquisitions of companies or businesses, participate in strategic partnerships and to carry-out directed new issues in order to raise capital to the company. The number of shares and/or warrants that could be issued due to this authorization shall not exceed 4 218 900, corresponding to approximately 10 per cent of the current outstanding number of shares.
It is proposed that the managing director is authorized to make such minor adjustments to this resolution that may be necessary in connection with the registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB.
A resolution in accordance with the proposal to authorize the board of directors is valid only if supported by shareholders holding at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.
