Proposition for resolution

Item 6

On Aug. 5, 2019, CELLINK entered into an agreement to acquire all shares in cytena GmbH. The transferred purchase price for a total of EUR 30,250,000, the equivalent of approximately SEK 321,751,100, has been paid with EUR 11,400,000, the equivalent of SEK 121,254,960, in cash, while the remaining EUR 18,850,000, the equivalent of SEK 200,469,140, ​​will be paid with CELLINK shares. The subscription price has been agreed on and is based on the closing price of CELLINK shares average volume-weighted stock price during 90 trading days, most recently on June 14, 2019. To pay the part of the purchase price that is in CELLINK shares, the Board resolves to issue new 674,678 in newly issued shares of series B. This will increase the share capital by a maximum of SEK 67,467.80. For the decision, the following terms shall apply:

  • The right to subscribe for the new shares shall be given to Christian Wildmoser, 79,623 shares, Benjamin Steimle, 42,610 shares, Andre Gross, 74,542 shares, Jonas Schöndube, 74,542 shares, Jürg F. Geigy, 110,531 shares, Peter Koltay, 28,248 shares, BioFluidix GmbH, 168,092 shares and HTGF II GmbH & Co.KG, 96,490 shares.
  • The reason for deviating from the shareholders' preferential right is that the issue is made as a so-called non-cash issue, where the subscription proceeds are paid through shares in cytena GmbH. Thus, it has not been used to carry out a rights issue for existing shareholders.
  • For each subscribed share, SEK 297.17308 will be paid (a total of SEK 200,469,140). Payment is to be made through the transfer of 78,461 shares in cytena GmbH according to the Board's report. The subscription price has been calculated as stated above.
  • Subscription shall be made by payment within one week from the day of the decision of the issue.
  • The Board of Directors has the right to extend the subscription period.
  • The new shares entail the right to distribute profits for the first time on the record date, which falls closest after the new share issue has registered.
  • The Board of Directors, or the person that the Board appoints, is authorized to make the minor adjustments required for the decision to be registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

Majority rules

For resolutions in accordance with paragraph six, backing is required from shareholders with at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.

Number of shares and votes

At the time of its notice, the total number of shares in the company amounted to 9,071,516, of which 375,000 were series A, 8,696,516 were series B and the number of votes was 12,446,516. The company does not own any of its own shares.

The above-mentioned documents will be mailed to shareholders upon request.

Information at the Meeting 

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director shall, if any shareholder so requests and the Board of Directors considers that it can be done without material harm to the Company, provide the Meeting with information that may affect the assessment of a matter on the agenda and circumstances that may affect the assessment of the Company's or the subsidiary's financial situation and the company's relationship with other companies within the Group.
