At the time of the notice to attend the AGM, this was estimated at SEK 0.90 per warrant. Subscription and payment for the warrants shall be completed no later than 1 June 2012. The warrants shall be issued by the subsidiary Skanditek AB with the right and obligation to transfer these to senior executives and key personnel in the Parent Company.

The warrants may be exercised for subscription to shares during the period from 1 June 2014 until 1 June 2015 at an exercise price equal to 140% of the market value on the date of issuance. The full exercise of all warrants covered by the decision will lead to an increase in the share capital by SEK 9,869,562, resulting in a dilutive effect of around 1.84% on the number of shares and votes in Bure Equity AB.

Resolution regarding dividends
The AGM resolved to approve a cash dividend of SEK 0.30 per share, equal to a total distribution of SEK 24.4M. The record date was set for Monday, 30 April 2012, which means that dividends are expected to be disbursed on Thursday, 4 May 2012.

As a consequence of the cancellation, the AGM resolved to authorise the Board to increase the company’s share capital by an amount equal to the reduction, SEK 24,910,556.27, through a bonus issue consisting of a transfer from non-restricted equity. The bonus issue shall be carried out without the issuance of new shares.
