Item 8B – Resolution regarding allocation of the company’s profits or losses in accordance with the adopted balance sheet

The board of directors proposes that the funds at the annual general meetings’ disposal shall be carried forward and that no dividend shall be paid.

Item 15 – Resolution to authorise the board of directors to resolve on directed issue and issue in kind of shares

The following proposed authorisations are sought to create conditions for the company to carry out the acquisition of Ultinous, which was communicated in the press release published on 28 February 2024. The proposal is conditional upon that the board of directors of Irisity, prior to the annual general meeting, has not exercised the authorisations granted by the extraordinary general meeting held on 19 March 2024.

Issue in kind

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to authorise the board of directors to, for the period until the end of the annual general meeting 2025, on one or more occasions and with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, resolve to issue a maximum of 9,000,000 shares or the equivalent of SEK 45 million. The subscription price shall amount to SEK 5 per share and is based on arm’s length negotiations between the company and the sellers of Ultinous, which is why the board of directors has assessed it to be in accordance with market conditions.

The reasons for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights is that a prerequisite for the company to be able to carry out the acquisition of Ultinous is that the company pays payment of the purchase price through the issuance of own shares to the sellers.

Directed issue

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to authorise the board of directors to, for the period until the end of the annual general meeting 2025, on one or more occasions and with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, resolve to issue a maximum of 9,000,000 shares or the equivalent of SEK 45 million. The subscription price shall amount to SEK 5 per share and be paid in cash or by way of set-off and is based on arm’s length negotiations between the company and the sellers of Ultinous, which is why the board of directors has assessed it to be in accordance with market conditions.

The reasons for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights is that the company shall be able to fulfil its obligations under the binding term sheet entered into between the company and the sellers of Ultinous on 28 February 2024.

The board of directors, or a person appointed by the board of directors, shall otherwise have the right to make such amendments to the resolutions above that may be required in connection with the registrations thereof, and to take such other measures as may be necessary to implement the resolutions.
