Proposal of the Board of Directors regarding a resolution authorising the Board of Directors to decide about share issues (point 12)
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting passes a resolution authorising the Board of Directors to decide on the issuing of new shares/convertible bonds/warrants on one or more occasions during the period until the next Annual General Meeting, with or without preferential rights for the shareholders.

Share issues made pursuant to the authorisation shall be carried out on market terms.
