Item 8:  Approval of the board of directors' resolution on a rights issue with pre-emptive right for the shareholders

The board of directors proposes that the meeting approves the board of directors' resolution on a rights issue on the following terms and conditions.

  • The Company's share capital shall be increased with a maximum amount of SEK 1,100,817.12 on a rights issue of a maximum of 27,520,428 shares with a quotient value of SEK 0.04 per share.
     
  • The Company's shareholders shall have pre-emptive right to subscribe for new shares in proportion to the shares previously owned.
     
  • Each previously owned share confers the right to one (1) subscription right. Five (5) subscription rights entitles subscription for three (3) new shares.
     
  • The subscription price to be paid shall be SEK 2.18 for each new share.
     
  • If not all shares are subscribed for by exercise of subscription rights in accordance with the shareholders preferential rights mentioned above, the board of directors shall resolve on allotment up to the maximum amount of the share issue. In such case, priority will be given firstly to those who have also subscribed for shares by exercise of subscription rights, on the occasion of oversubscription, pro rata in relation to their subscription for shares by exercise of subscription rights and, to the extent not possible, by drawing of lots. Secondly, allotment of shares subscribed for without subscription rights shall be made to others who have subscribed for shares without subscription rights, if full allotment is not possible, pro rata in relation to their subscription for shares and, to the extent not possible, by drawing of lots. Thirdly, allotment of shares shall be made to those who have provided guarantees for the subscription of shares, pro rata in relation to the guarantee provided.

Payment for new shares subscribed for without subscription rights shall be made in cash no later than the third bank day from dispatch of the contract note setting forth the allotment of shares to the subscriber. The board of directors shall be entitled to extend the period for subscription and payment.

Item 9: Resolution regarding authorisation of the board of directors to issue new shares

The board of directors proposes that the meeting authorises the board of directors until the next annual shareholders' meeting to, on one or more occasions, resolve to increase the Company's share capital by issue of no more than 17,500,000 new shares. However, such issues may not cause the share capital in the Company to exceed the Company's highest allowed share capital according to the articles of association. The board of directors may deviate from the shareholders' preferential rights. The reason for the board of directors' authorisation to deviate from the shareholders' preferential rights is to enable the company's possibilities to raise new capital and to take advantage of future opportunities to attract new long-term owners of strategic importance to the company, as well as to finance the Company's growth strategy. The authorization also includes the right to decide on payment for the issued shares in kind, set-off or other conditions as referred in Chap. 13 Sec. 5 item 6 of the Swedish Companies Act (Sw. Aktiebolagslagen (2005:551)). At a deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, the issue rate shall be determined in accordance with market conditions.

Particular majority requirements
For a valid resolution on the proposals pursuant to items 7 and 9, the proposals have to be supported by shareholders representing at least two-thirds of the votes cast as well as shares represented at the meeting.

Total number of shares and votes
The total number of shares and votes in the Company amounts as per the date of this notice to 24,961,438. The company holds no shares. Following the completion of the Company's acquisition of shares in Zymetech ehf., the total number of shares and votes is estimated to increase by 20,905,942 before the date of the meeting.

The shareholders are reminded of their right to request information from the board of directors and the CEO at the meeting in accordance with Chap. 7 Sec. 32 of the Swedish Companies Act (Sw. Aktiebolagslagen (2005:551)).

Meeting documents
The board of directors' complete proposal for a resolution pursuant to items 7-9 and connected documents pursuant to Chap. 13 Sec. 6 of the Swedish Companies Act (Sw. Aktiebolagslagen (2005:551)) are available for the shareholders at the Company's website and at the Company at its above mentioned address at the latest from 17 March 2016 and will free of charge be sent to the shareholders upon their request to the Company, provided that such share-holders state their current address.
