The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM authorises the Board of Directors to adopt new issue of shares, share warrants or convertibles in accordance with the terms of paragraphs a) and/or b) below. The decisions in a) and b) shall be resolved upon as two separate resolutions.

a)

The AGM authorises the Board of Directors upon one or several occasions during the period up to the next AGM to adopt a new issue of shares, share warrants or convertibles with preferential rights for the shareholders. Payment may be made in cash, through set-off, with capital contributed in kind, or otherwise as per conditions pursuant to Chapter 2, section 5, second paragraph, items 1-3 and 5 of the Swedish Companies Act. The total number of shares that may be issued, or, in the event of an issue of share warrants or convertibles, any additional shares after conversion or exercise of any share warrant, pursuant to the authorisation in this paragraph a) shall not be limited in any other way than by the limits for the share capital and number of shares, as set forth from time to time in the registered articles of association.

b)

The AGM authorises the Board of Directors upon one or several occasions during the period up to the next AGM to adopt a new issue of shares, share warrants or convertibles with deviation from shareholders' preferential rights.

A new issue adopted in virtue of the authorisation, shall take place at market conditions (which implies that an issue discount in line with prevailing market conditions may be granted) and shall be carried with a view to broadening the ownership, procuring or facilitating the procurement of working capital, increasing the liquidity of the share, making acquisitions, or procuring or facilitating the procurement of capital for acquisitions. A decision under this paragraph b) is valid only if supported by shareholders representing at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the AGM.
