The annual shareholders’ meeting resolved in accordance with the proposal from the board on guidelines for remuneration to senior executives.

Resolution on amendment of the Articles of Association

The annual general meeting resolved in accordance with the proposal from the board to amend § 1 in the Swedish version of the Articles of Association so that “firma” is replaced with “företagsnamn” and § 9 so that the provision, due to an anticipated upcoming legislative change, does not stipulate on which date the record date shall occur.

Resolution on authorization for the board of directors regarding issues

The annual shareholders’ meeting resolved in accordance with the proposal from the board to authorize the board, at one or several occasions, during the time up until the next annual shareholders’ meeting, with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, and with or without provisions regarding payment in kind or through set-off or other provisions, to resolve to issue new shares, convertibles and/or warrants. The reason for that deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights shall be permitted is to enable the company to raise working capital, to execute acquisitions of companies or operating assets as well as to enable issues to industrial partners within the framework of partnerships and alliances. The total number of shares that that may be issued (alternatively be issued through conversion of convertibles and/or exercise of warrants) shall not exceed 13,472,120 shares, which corresponds to a dilution of approximately 20 percent calculated on the current number of shares in the company.

Resolution on implementation of a long-term incentive program for employees by way of (A) implementation of a performance-based share saving program; (B) authorization on directed issues of series C shares; (C) authorization for repurchase of series C shares; and (D) resolution on transfer of own ordinary shares

The annual shareholders' meeting resolved in accordance with the proposal from the board to implement a long-term incentive program for employees (“LTI 2020”). LTI 2020 means that the participants will invest in ordinary shares in the company (the “Saving Shares”), which shall be made on 31 December 2020 at the latest (the “Investment Period”). If the Saving Shares are retained as from the expiration of the Investment Period to and including 31 December 2023 (the “Saving Period”) and the participant has continued to be employed by the company or another company within the Group throughout the Saving Period, the participant is entitled to allotment of additional ordinary shares in the company free of charge (the “Performance Shares”), provided that certain performance targets are achieved or exceeded. The total maximum number of Performance Shares that may be issued within LTI 2020 amounts to 110,000, which corresponds to a dilution of approximately 0.21 per cent of the company’s share capital and votes after full dilution, calculated on the number of shares that will be added upon full issuance of Performance Shares in connection with LTI 2020.   

In order to secure the company's delivery of Performance Shares to the participants in LTI 2020, the annual shareholders' meeting also resolved to authorize the board of directors to resolve on directed issues of series C shares, whereby the new shares, with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, only may be subscribed for by a bank or a securities company at a subscription price which corresponds to the quota value of the shares. Furthermore, the annual shareholders’ meeting resolved to authorize the board of directors to resolve to repurchase its own series C shares and to approve transfer of own ordinary shares to the participants in LTI 2020.
