A valid resolution requires that it has been supported by shareholders representing at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the Extra General Meeting. The decision is conditioned by the Extra General Meetings approval of the Board's proposal for a resolution on a rights issue and resolution on reduction of share capital.

The Board of Directors or the person appointed by the Board of Directors is authorized to decide on minor corrections required for registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

The Board of Directors' proposal regarding a preemptive rights issue of units (Item 8)
It was decided to propose to an extraordinary general meeting to resolve on a preemptive rights issue of units in accordance with the terms below.

It was decided to propose an Extra General Meeting of the company to resolve on a rights issue of units, consisting of new class B shares and warrants of series TO 6 B. The warrants of series TO 6 B are issued free of charge.

It was decided that the subscription price in the rights issue shall be priced at a discount of 45 percent against the theoretical ex-rights price ("TERP") based on the geometric average of the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) for the B share during the trading period May 17 to May 24 (according to Nasdaq First North Growth Market's official price statistics). The subscription price shall be rounded to the nearest whole number penny, whereupon SEK 0.005 will be rounded up. The subscription price shall not exceed SEK 0.75 and shall not be less than SEK 0.10 per new B-share. The initial part of the rights issue may issue a maximum of 1,384,177,723 new class B shares. The share capital may thereby increase by a maximum of SEK 128,036,440.082397.

It was decided that the subscription price in subsequent option redemption of TO 6 B is planned to amount to seventy (70) percent of the average volume-weighted price for the B-share according to Nasdaq First North Growth Market's official price statistics during a period of ten (10) trading days ending two (2) banking days before the exercise period begins. The company will announce the subscription price the day before the first day of the useful life. One (1) TO 6 B is planned to give the right to subscribe for one (1) new B-share in the company. The subscription price shall be rounded to the nearest whole number of cents and shall not exceed a fixed price per new B share and shall not be less than the share's quota value.  The useful life of TO 6 B runs from 23 January 2024 to 6 February 2024. TO 6 B is intended to be admitted to trading on Nasdaq First North Growth Market after final registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office. The last day of trading is then expected to be February 2, 2024. The maximum subscription price per new B-share will be announced two weeks before the Extra General Meeting, which is scheduled to be held on 8 June 2023. Upon full  exercise of warrants of series TO 6 B, a maximum of 488,533,314 new class B shares may be issued through the rights issue. At full utilization, this gives a share capital increase of a maximum of SEK 45,189,331.793787.

It was initially decided that the subscription period would be between June 19, 2023 and July 3, 2023. The record date was set to June 15, 2023.

Furthermore, it was decided that complete terms and conditions for the rights issue, including subscription price and the number of shares and warrants issued, shall be announced no later than 25 May 2023.

It was resolved that the Board of Directors will present the complete proposals no later than two weeks before the Extra General Meeting.

The Board of Directors' proposal for a resolution on reduction of share capital (Item 9)
The Board of Directors proposes that the Extra General Meeting resolves to reduce the Company's share capital in accordance with the terms below:

 

  1.   The purpose of the reduction is allocation to unrestricted equity.
  2. The Company's share capital shall be reduced by a maximum of SEK 127,784,031.369026
  3. The reduction shall be carried out without cancellation of shares.

 

The decision to reduce the Company's share capital in accordance with this proposal can be implemented without permission from the Swedish Companies Registration Office or a general court since the Company will simultaneously carry out a rights issue of shares and warrants which means that neither the Company's restricted equity nor share capital in aggregate will decrease. Proposals for resolutions on rights issues of shares and warrants are set out in a specially prepared proposal in accordance with the notice proposed agenda.

The Board of Directors' proposal for a resolution on a reduction of share capital is conditional upon the Extra General Meeting resolving on a rights issue in accordance with the proposed agenda and that when registering the reduction with the Swedish Companies Registration Office, a capital increase from the rights issue corresponding to the reduction in share capital is also registered.

The CEO, or a person appointed by the Board of Directors, shall have the right to make such minor adjustments to the above resolutions as may prove necessary in connection with registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or Euroclear Sweden AB.

A valid resolution under this proposal requires that it is supported by shareholders representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the Extra General Meeting
