Proposals to resolutions
Item 1 – Election of chairman of the general meeting
The board of directors proposes that Ingrid Salén is elected as chairman of the general meeting.
Item 6 – Resolution on authorization for issues of shares, warrants and/or convertible instruments
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting authorizes the board of directors to, on one or several occasions during the period up to the next annual general meeting, increase the Company’s share capital through issues of new shares, warrants and/or convertible instruments, with or without deviating from the shareholders’ preferential rights, and with or without provisions on payment by non-cash consideration and/or by way of set-off or other provisions.
The purpose of the authorization and the reason to propose that the board of directors shall be authorized to resolve on issues with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights is to give the board of directors flexibility in the work of ensuring that the Company is able to raise capital to finance the operations and to enable continued expansion, alternatively to enable a broadening of the ownership of the Company, e.g. with one or several owners of strategic importance to the Company.
An issue in accordance with this authorization shall be made on market conditions. The board of directors shall be entitled to decide on additional terms and conditions for issues under this authorization and who shall be entitled to subscribe for the shares, warrants and/or convertible instruments. If the board of directors deems it appropriate to facilitate the delivery of shares in connection with an issue in accordance with this authorization, the issue may also take place at a subscription price which corresponds to the quota value of the shares (provided that the Company ensures through relevant agreements that market compensation is received for the issued shares).
The CEO shall be authorised to make any minor adjustments required to register the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
Item 7 – Resolution on adoption of new Articles of Association
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to adopt new Articles of Association where § 4 and § 5 are changed as follows:
| Current wording | New wording |
| § 4 Share capital | § 4 Share capital |
| The company’s share capital shall be not less than SEK 6,000,000 and not more than SEK 24,000,000. | The company’s share capital shall be not less than SEK 12,000,000 and not more than SEK 48,000,000. |
| § 5 Number of shares | § 5 Number of shares |
| The company shall have not less than 60,000,000 shares and not more than 240,000,000 shares. | The company shall have not less than 120,000,000 shares and not more than 480,000,000 shares. |
The CEO shall be authorised to make any minor adjustments required to register the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
Item 8 – Board election
The board members Xiaojun Xu and Jie Bao have as of 14 February 2023 left the board of directors. In light of this, the election committee proposes that the board of directors, for the period until the end of the next annual general meeting, shall consist of four directors (previously six) and no deputy directors (unchanged) and to re-elect Ingrid Salén (chairman), Carina Bolin, Claes Pettersson and Matthew E. Colpoys, Jr.
Majority requirements
A resolution in accordance with the proposals under item 6 and 7 above requires that it is supported by shareholders representing at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.
The shareholders’ right to information at the general meeting
