The resolution shall be governed by the following terms and conditions. The right to subscribe for the new shares shall, with deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights, belong to Pareto Securities AB, for further delivery to certain invited investors.

The reasons for the deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights are mainly to diversify the shareholder base in the Company and at the same time take advantage of the opportunity to raise capital in a time- and cost-efficient manner.

A total amount of SEK 25,411,765.04 shall be paid for all shares, corresponding to approximately SEK 1.80 per new share, which is the quotient value of the shares. The subscription price is estimated appropriate by the board of directors since the subscriber, Pareto Securities AB, through a separate agreement has undertaken to, when the shares have been paid for on the settlement day, and been delivered to, the invited investors, pay an additional purchase price.

Subscription of the new shares shall be made on subscription list no later than 24 May 2021. The board of directors shall have the right to extend the subscription period.

Payment for subscribed shares shall be made no later than 24 May 2021 through payment in cash. The board of directors shall have the right to extend the payment period.

The CEO, or any other person appointed by the board of directors, shall have the right to make such minor adjustments that may be required in order to register the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB.

For resolution in accordance with the board of directors’ proposal above, it is required that the resolution is supported of shareholders representing at least two-thirds of the number of votes and shares represented at the meeting.
