An EGM (Extraordinary General Meeting) on 7 April 2010 resolved to approve the Board of Directors’ decision on the new issue of shares. To enable completion of the new share issue, the EGM also resolved to amend the Articles of Association.

Decision on amendment of the Articles of Association and approval of Board of Directors’ decision on the new issue of shares The EGM resolved to amend the Articles of Association regarding the capital limits and limits on the number of shares to enable the new share issue and resolved to approve the Board of Directors’ decision on the new issue of shares, whereby share capital could increase by a maximum amount of SEK 9,624,200 through the issue of a maximum of 19,248,400 new shares. The terms and conditions for the issue imply that each existing NOTE share entitles the holder to two (2) subscription rights and one (1) subscription right entitles the holder to subscribe for one (1) new share. The subscription price is SEK 4.50 per share, which means that the new share issue will raise NOTE a maximum of some SEK 87 m before deducting issue costs. The record date for receiving subscription rights with Euroclear Sweden AB is 12 April 2010. This means that the NOTE share will be trading ex rights from 8 April 2010 onwards. The subscription period will run from 22 April 2010 to 6 May 2010, both dates inclusive, or a later date decided by the Board of Directors. Shareholders that choose not to participate in the new share issue will have their participating interests diluted by some 67%, but will have an opportunity for financial compensation for the dilution effect by selling their subscription rights.
