The Board of Directors, the CEO, or a person appointed by the Board of Directors, or the CEO shall be authorised to make any minor adjustment required to register the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or Euroclear Sweden AB.
Item 8
Due to the Board of Directors' proposed resolution to amend the limits for the share capital and the number of shares in the articles of association in accordance with item 6 above and the due to the Company's intention to possibly carry out a directed share issue in case of interest from strategic investors, the Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting authorises the Board of Directors to resolve on new issues as follows.
The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting shall resolve to authorise the Board of Directors to, on one or several occasions up until the next Annual General Meeting, resolve on issues of shares, warrants and/or convertibles. The issues may be made with or without deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, as well as on terms regarding payment in kind, by set-off or other terms.
The number of shares that may be issued and the number of shares that shall be possible to convert/subscribe for under the authorisation, and the increase of the share capital, shall not be limited other than by the limits for the number of shares and share capital as set out in the articles of association in its registered wording at each time. The Board of Directors shall otherwise have the right to determine all terms and conditions for the issue. The reason for that the Board of Directors may resolve upon an issue with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is that the Company shall be able to issue new shares, warrants and/or convertibles in order to finance the Company's continued operation and expansion.
In the event that the Extraordinary General Meeting resolves in accordance with the Board of Directors' proposal in accordance with this item 8, this issue authorisation shall replace the issue authorisation that the Annual General Meeting adopted on 12 June 2024.
The Board of Directors, the CEO, or anyone appointed by the Board of Directors or the CEO, shall be authorised to make such minor amendments to the above resolution as may be necessary in connection with the registration of the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or due to other formal requirements.
