Issue authorisation
It was resolved, in accordance with the board’s proposal, to authorise the board to, on one or more occasions until the next annual general meeting, issue new shares. Issue can be decided with or without regard to shareholders’ pre-emption rights. On the strength of the authorisation the board may resolve to issue a number of new shares not exceeding ten per cent of the total number of outstanding shares in the company at the time of the authorisation resolution.

The authorisation includes the right to resolve that shares will be issued against cash payment, payment in kind or payment by way of set-off and the issue may otherwise be subject to conditions as set out in Chapter 2, section 5, second paragraph, 1-3 and 5 of the Companies Act.

Authorisation on acquisition and transfer of own shares

It was resolved, in accordance with the board’s proposal, to authorise the board to, on one or more occasions until the next annual general meeting, resolve on acquisition and/or transfer of own shares. Transfer of own shares can be decided without regard to shareholders’ pre-emption rights.

Acquisition of own shares shall be made on Nasdaq Stockholm and own shares may be acquired to the extent the company’s holdings of own shares in total amounts to no more than one tenth of all shares in the company. The reasons for the authorisation to resolve on acquisition of own shares are to be able to improve the company’s capital structure, to enable share transfers in accordance with the authorisation resolution for the board to transfer own shares, and to increase the flexibility for the  board in connection with potential future corporate acquisitions.

Transfer of own shares may be made either on Nasdaq Stockholm or in another manner. The maximum number of shares that may be transferred is the total number of own shares held by the company at the time of the board’s resolution to transfer the shares. The reasons for the authorisation to resolve on transfer of own shares and for the disapplication from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights are to be able to improve the company’s capital structure and to increase the flexibility of the board in connection to potential future corporate acquisitions, by facilitating fast and cost-efficient financing by divesting holdings of own shares.

Reduction of the share capital with retirement of repurchased own shares and increase of the share capital through a bonus issue
The meeting resolved, in accordance with the board's proposal, on a reduction of the share capital with retirement of repurchased own shares and an increase in the share capital through a bonus issue.

The retirement of shares shall be carried out without repayment and the bonus issue will be carried out without any new shares being issued.

The purpose of the reduction is to set aside funds for unrestricted shareholders’ equity. However, the funds will be returned to the share capital through a bonus issue. The effect of the measures under the joint decision is that the company's share capital is unchanged compared with the sum it amounted to before the reduction. The company's share capital will amount to SEK 1,180,890.32 and the number of registered shares will be 47,826,058, each with a quota value of approximately SEK 0.025.
