Resolution concerning authorization of the board to issue new shares to finance the acquisition of companies and/or to finance the operating activities (Item 13) In order to finance the acquisitions of companies and/or to finance the operating activities, the board proposes that the meeting, departing from the right of priority of shareholders, authorize it to carry out one or more cash and/or in-kind, settlement or other issues of new shares until the next annual general meeting. Issues carried out in accordance with the authorization may total up to 100 million shares at a subscription price that does not significantly differ from the market value of the Company’s stock on each occasion at which the authorization is exercised. If fully exercised, the authorization would dilute total capital and votes by approximately 8%. To be valid, this resolution must be supported by shareholders representing two thirds of the votes cast as well as two thirds of the shares represented at the meeting. Resolution concerning authorization of the board to issue instruments of debt consisting of detachable subscription options (Item 14) The annual general meeting of March 25, 2004 resolved to issue up to 6,000,000 purchase options (employee stock options) in accordance with the global option plan adopted by a special meeting of shareholders on October 11, 2000. To date, the Company has issued 1,950,000 of these options. To enable the issue of the remaining 4,050,000 options the board proposes that the meeting authorize it to issue one or more instruments of debt until the next annual general meeting consisting up to 4,050,000 detachable subscription options. Departing from the right of priority of shareholders, the entitlement to sign the instruments of debt will accrue to wholly owned subsidiaries of the Group. The purpose of departing from the right of priority of shareholders is to ensure performance of option commitments in accordance the abovementioned option program and to cover administration and tax costs. If fully exercised, the authorization would dilute total capital and votes by approximately 0.35%. To be valid, this resolution must be supported by shareholders representing two thirds of the votes cast as well as two thirds the shares represented at the meeting. Other matters Accounting records and auditor’s reports, along with the board’s complete proposals in accordance with Items 13-14, will be available from the Company at Krukmakargatan 37A in Stockholm, phone number +46 8 41 00 10 39, as of March 31, 2005 and will be mailed to shareholders on request.
