Resolution to authorize the board of directors to issue shares and/or warrants and/or convertibles

The AGM resolved, in accordance with the board of directors' proposal, to authorize the board of directors to, on one or several occasions before the next AGM, issue shares and/or warrants and/or convertibles against payment in cash and/or consideration in kind or by set-off or otherwise subject to terms and conditions and thereby deviate from the shareholders' preferential rights, resulting in an increase in the number of shares by a maximum of 12 000 000 shares.

The purpose of this authorization, and the reason for possibly deviating from the shareholders' preferential rights, is that issuing of shares is to be made possible for the benefit of financing the company's operations, commercialization and development of the company's products and markets and/or acquisitions of operations, companies, or parts of companies, and/or make possible diversification of the shareholders.

The complete proposal of the board of directors is available on the website of Heliospectra AB (www.heliospectra.com).

Resolution on the introduction of incentive program through the issuance of warrants to the subsidiary and approval of transfer

The AGM resolved, in accordance with the board of directors' proposal, that the company shall issue no more than 770 000 warrants entitling to subscription for no more than 770 000 shares in the company. The right to subscribe for warrants shall, disapplying shareholders' pre-emption rights, vest in the wholly owned subsidiary Heliospectra Personal AB, reg.no 556904-7243, resulting in an increase of the company's share capital by a maximum of SEK 77 000 divided into 770 000 shares corresponding to a dilution effect of approximately 3,97 percent of the number of shares and votes. The warrants will be issued to the subsidiary without consideration. Subscription for the warrants has been made directly in the minutes of the AGM.

The reason for deviating from the shareholders' preferential rights is that it is considered to promote the company's long-term interests if senior executives and other key employees are given the opportunity to participate in an incentive program that enables them to take part in the company's value development. This is expected to increase the commitment to the business of senior executives and key employees.

It was further resolved, in accordance with the board of directors' proposal, to approve that the subsidiary may transfer the above issued warrants to senior executives and other key employees of the company and its subsidiaries, or otherwise dispose of the warrants in order to fulfill the company's obligations in respect of the above stated warrant program.

The complete proposal of the board of directors is available on the website of Heliospectra AB (www.heliospectra.com).
