a) Of at most of SEK 12,500,000 to be acquired via pre-emptive share issues for a total of at most 12,500,000 shares in the company. Shares not subscribed using pre-emptive rights during a pre-emptive share issue shall first be offered to those who subscribed for the issue using subscription rights – in relation to the number of subscribed shares. As per Chapter 13, §5, paragraph 6 of the Companies Act, the board may, accounting for the above-specified terms, decide on other terms that the board deems necessary for implementing an issue,

The new shares must be issued at a market-based issue price, with reservation for a market-based issue discount. Besides cash, shares shall be paid for via capital contributed in kind or via an item under receivables – as per Chapter 13 §5, paragraph 6 of the Companies Act. The board may also (as per Chapter 13 §5, paragraph 6 of the Companies Act) accounting for the above terms, decide on other terms that the board deems necessary for implementing an issue.

The board proposes that the AGM authorises the board to buy back Cybercom shares under these conditions:
a) Shares, corresponding to a maximum of 10% of Cybercom’s share capital, may be bought.
b) As needed, Cybercom’s shares may be bought to develop the company’s structural capital.
c) Shares must be bought at their public-trading prices. The purchase amount must be paid to the sellers as per the OMX Nordic Exchange’s specified payment period.
d) Authorisation applies for one year up to the next AGM.

Item 16. Authorising the board to take a decision regarding a participating loan or an equity loan
The board proposes that the AGM authorises the board to take decisions regarding (1) take out of a participating loan, (2) take out an equity loan, and (3) take out a combined participating and equity loan, as per Chapter 11, section 11 of the Companies Act – on one or more occasions during the period until the next AGM.
