The sellers who according to the Share Purchase Agreement* of 9 May 2005 have the right to the first earn-out amount shall have the right to subscribe for the shares. Payment for the shares shall be made by set-off against the sellers´ claim on the Framfab for the first earn-out amount. The proposal deviates from the shareholders´ preferential right in order to fulfil Framfabs obligation to the sellers. Subscription for the shares shall be made from 31 March 2006 to 10 April 2006. Payment for the shares shall be considered made in connection with subscription. The new shares shall entitle to dividends immediately. The dilution effect, if all the shares are subscribed for, corresponds to approximately 3.54% of the shares and votes after full dilution. * In accordance with a Share Purchase Agreement as of 9 May 2005, the Company has acquired all the shares in Oyster Partners Limited, a company duly registered in the U.K. According to the share purchase agreement Framfab shall pay an additional purchase price, the earn-out amount, in two payments. The first earn-out amount shall be paid during 2006 with newly issued shares in Framfab. The earn-out amount for 2005 amounts to 3 million GBP. # At the annual general meeting held on March 25, 2004 it was resolved to issue up to 6,000,000 purchase options (employee stock options) in accordance with the global option plan adopted by an extraordinary general meeting on October 11, 2000. To date, the Company has issued 2,700,000 of these warrants. To enable the issue of the remaining 3,300,000 warrants the board was authorised to, at one or several occasions during the period until the next Annual General Meeting, issue up to 3,300,000 warrants. With deviation from the shareholders´ preferential wholly owned subsidiaries within the Group shall be entitled to subscribe for the warrants. The purpose of the deviation from the shareholders´ preferential right is to ensure the fulfilment of the commitment in accordance with the above mentioned stock option program and to cover administration and tax costs. If fully exercised, the authorization will dilute the total capital and votes by approximately 0.27%.
