Acquisitions are limited by the company’s shareholding not being allowed, at anytime, to exceed 10 percent of the total shares in the company. The purpose of the acquisitions is to provide the Board with the possibility of creating additional value for the company’s shareholders by optimizing the capital structure of the group during the period up until the next Annual General Meeting. The Board further proposes that the Board is authorized to transfer the company’s shares in conjunction with an acquisition or expansion, before the next Annual General Meeting, via other means than the Stockholmsbörsen.

Authorization includes the right to decide to deviate from the shareholders’ preferential rights as well as to make payment with other means than cash. Compensation for sold shares shall equal their estimated market value.
