AUTHORISATION TO ISSUE SHARES (ITEM 15)

The Board of Directors proposes that the Board be authorised to make decisions concerning new share issues on one or several occasions ahead of the next Annual General Meeting in a total amount of 125.000.000 class B shares each at a nominal value of SEK 0,10, corresponding to an increase of the share capital by a maximum of SEK 12.500.000. The Board shall on that occasion have the right to decide to waive shareholders’ preferential rights in accordance with the provisions of chapter 4 §6 of the Companies Act, i.e. on conditions that newly issued shares may be acquired in return for payment in the form of shares (in kind) or set-off. The new shares will be issued at a price that is based on the market price at the time of the respective issue. The purpose of the authorisation is primarily to facilitate the implementation of directed new share issues to one or several Swedish or foreign investors, and also to enable company acquisitions using the shares in Obducat AB as payment. This corresponds to a dilution effect of 38,1 per cent in the event of full utilisation of this authorisation. On full utilisation also of all outstanding warrants and full conversion of current convertible debentures the dilution effect will instead correspond to 32,1 per cent of the share capital. Calculation of the dilution effect is based on the number of new shares on full utilisation of the authorisation divided by the total number of shares in the company after full utilisation. In connection with the presentation of this proposal, CEO Patrik Lundström and Board Director Professor Lars Montelius will present background information around the proposal as well as answering related questions. Background information will also be available on the company website www.obducat.com.

Documents according to the chapter 4 §4 of the Companies Act will be held available with the company no later than one week before the Extra General Meeting. Copies of the documents will be sent to shareholders providing notice of participation in the Meeting or on request to shareholders who submit a postal address.
