Announcement from Embracer Group's extra general meeting
The extra general meeting of Embracer Group AB ("Embracer" or the "Company") was held today on 26 February 2021 in Stockholm and the following resolutions were passed by the meeting.
Authorisation for the board to issue shares
The extra general meeting resolved, in accordance with the board of directors' proposal, to authorize the board of directors during the period up until the next annual general meeting, on one or more occasions, to resolve to issue B shares, without preferential rights for the shareholders to be paid in cash, in kind and/or by way of set-off.
The board of directors may only resolve on a share issue in accordance with the above in connection with the completion of the acquisition announced through press releases on 3 February 2021, and the number of shares issued may amount to a maximum of 41,658,306.
In connection with issuances in accordance with the above, the board of directors shall, when determining the number of shares that may be issued pursuant to the authorization, consider and deduct the number of shares the Company holds itself at every given time after any possible reclaim of shares that have been issued in connection with acquisitions.
Authorisation for the board to issue shares, convertibles and/or warrants
The extra general meeting resolved, in accordance with the board of directors' proposal, to authorize the board of directors during the period up until the next annual general meeting to, on one or more occasions, resolve to issue B shares, convertibles and/or warrants with right to convert into and subscribe for B shares respectively, with or without preferential rights for the shareholders, in the amount not exceeding ten (10) percent of the total number of shares in the Company at the time when the authorization is used the first time, to be paid in cash, in kind and/or by way of set-off. The purpose for the board to resolve on issuances with deviation from the shareholders preferential rights in accordance with the above is primarily for the purpose to raise new capital to increase flexibility of the Company or in connection with acquisitions. If the board of directors finds it suitable in order to enable delivery of shares in connection with a share issuance as set out above it may be made at a subscription price corresponding to the shares quota value.
In connection with issuances in accordance with the above, the board of directors shall, when determining the number of shares, warrants or convertibles that may be issued pursuant to the authorization, consider and deduct the number of shares the Company holds itself at every given time after any possible reclaim of shares that have been issued in connection with acquisitions. This authorization will, following registration at the Swedish Companies Registration Office, replace the authorization resolved upon by the extra general meeting held on 16 November 2020, under which there are still 38,428,183 B shares left to issue.
