Resolution on authorization for the Board of Directors to issue shares, warrants and convertibles (item 16)

The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM authorizes the Board of Directors to, on one or several occasions during the period up to the next AGM, resolve on new issues of shares, warrants or convertibles, with or without deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights. Payment may be made in cash, through set-off, with capital contributed in kind, or otherwise as per conditions pursuant to Chapter 2, section 5, second paragraph, items 1–3 and 5 of the Swedish Companies Act. The number of shares that can be issued, or, in the event of an issue of warrants or convertibles, added after exercise or conversion, with the support of the authorization shall not be limited in any other way than by the limits for the share capital and number of shares, as set forth from time to time in the registered Articles of Association.

 

The purpose of the authorization is to increase the Company’s financial flexibility and the Board’s discretion. If the Board of Directors resolves on a issue with deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights, the reason shall be to raise working capital, broadening the ownership of the Company, procuring capital for company acquisitions, or to fulfil obligations in cooperation agreements.
