The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to authorize the Board of Directors, during the period until the next Annual General Meeting, to resolve on the issue of a maximum number of shares, convertibles and/or warrants that entitle to subscription of, or entail the issue of, a maximum number of shares within the limits of the Articles of Association, with or without deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights.

In addition to cash payment, payment may also be made with consideration other than in cash or by set-off, or otherwise with conditions.  

In order for the company's current shareholders not to be disadvantaged in relation to the external investor or investors who may subscribe for shares in the company, the Board of Directors considers it appropriate that the issue with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights shall be made at the Board's market-based subscription price, subject to a market-based issue discount where applicable.
