Proposals for resolutions
Proposal under item 7; Resolution on (a) approval of a directed new issue of shares of series B, and
(b) approval of a directed new issue of warrants of series 2018/2020
Proposal under item 7(a): approval of a directed new issue of shares,
The board has resolved, subject to the subsequent approval of the general meeting, on a new issue of shares of series B with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, on the following main terms and conditions.
- The Company’s share capital is to be increased by not more than SEK 1,115,087.26 by a new issue of not more than 3,713,814 shares of series B.
- The new shares of series B are to be subscribed for on a separate subscription list at the latest on 14 December 2018. The shares are to be paid for at the latest on 14 December 2018. The board shall be entitled to prolong the subscription and payment period.
- The new shares of series B shall be issued at a price of SEK 4.00 per share. The subscription price has been determined through a bidding procedure and negotiations with investors and is assessed by the board to correspond to the market value of the shares.
- The right to subscribe for new shares of series B shall, with deviation from the preferential rights of the shareholders, be granted to Niles Noblitt (or an entity controlled by Niles Noblitt), and certain other in advance selected investors. The reason for deviating from the shareholders’ preferential rights by conducting a directed new share issue is to secure new capital in a quick and resource-efficient way, and to board a new principal owner who contributes with both capital and valuable industry knowledge.
Proposal under item 7(b): approval of a directed new issue of warrants of series 2018/2020
The board has further resolved, subject to the subsequent approval of the general meeting, on an issue of warrants of series 2018/2020 with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, on the following main terms and conditions.
- Not more than 2,252,210 warrants shall be issued. The warrants shall be issued free of charge.
- The right to subscribe for the warrants shall, with deviation from the preferential rights of the shareholders, be granted to Niles Noblitt (or an entity controlled by Niles Noblitt).
- Each warrant entitles its holder to subscribe for one share of series B for a subscription price of SEK 4.00 during the period from and including 14 December 2018 until and including 14 December 2020. The subscription price for the new shares corresponds to the subscription price for new shares of series B pursuant to item 7(a) above.
- The warrants are to be subscribed for on a separate subscription list at the latest on 14 December 2018.
- The increase of the Company’s share capital will, upon exercise of the warrants, amount to not more than approximately SEK 676,234.91 calculated as per the date of this notice.
Majority requirements and conditions, etc.
The board’s proposals for resolution pursuant to item 7(a)–(b) above constitute a ”package”, since the various proposals are dependent on and strongly tied to each other. On account of this, it is proposed that the Meeting only pass one resolution in relation to the above-mentioned proposals. For a valid resolution pursuant to this item 7, a shareholder majority of two thirds of the votes cast and two thirds of the shares represented at the meeting is required.
Miscellaneous
On the date of this notice, the total number of shares in Episurf is 31,244,556, of which 5,221,662 are shares of series A with three votes each, and 26,022,894 are shares of series B with one vote each. Accordingly, the total number of votes amounts to 41,687,880. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury.
