The nomination committee and certain major shareholders have presented the following proposed resolutions in relation to items 1, 10-12 and 15 in the proposed agenda. The nomination committee has found no reason to present any proposal for the amendment of the principles for the appointment of and instructions concerning a nomination committee, adopted at the extraordinary general meeting held on 7 March 2019 and applicable until otherwise decided by the general meeting.

Items 10-12. Election of and remuneration to the board of directors and auditors
The board of directors today consists of the following five (5) ordinary members without deputy members: Simon Cartmell (chairman), Anders Qvarnström, Håkan Engqvist, Newton Aguiar and Viktor Drvota. It is proposed that the board of directors shall consist of five (5) ordinary members without deputy members until the end of the next annual general meeting. Furthermore, it is proposed that a registered accounting firm shall be elected as auditor.

It is proposed that the fees payable to the board of directors for the period until the end of the next annual general meeting shall amount to a total of SEK 1,000,000 out of which SEK 350,000 shall be paid to the chairman, SEK 250,000 shall be paid to each of Newton Aguiar and Anders Qvarnstrom and SEK 150,000 shall be paid to Håkan Engqvist. No fees are proposed to be paid to Viktor Drvota who represents an institutional investor.

It is proposed that the company’s auditor shall be paid in accordance with approved invoices.

All current board members are proposed to be re-elected until the end of the next annual general meeting. Furthermore, Simon Cartmell is proposed to be re-elected as chairman of the board of directors. Information regarding the proposed board members’ principal education and work experience, any work performed for the company and any other significant professional commitments etc. is kept available on the company’s website at www.ossdsign.com.

The accounting firm KPMG AB is proposed to be re-elected as auditor. The accounting firm has informed the company that Per Hammar will remain as principally responsible auditor.

Item 15. Resolution on implementation of a long-term incentive programme for board members by way of (i) a directed issue of warrants and (ii) approval of transfer of warrants
Certain major shareholders in OssDsign AB proposes that the annual general meeting resolves on implementation of a long-term incentive programme (Warrant programme 2021/2024:2) for board members by way of (A) directed issue of no more than 799,041 warrants to the company and/or any of its subsidiaries (the company or a subsidiary, as applicable, hereinafter referred to as the “LTIP Company”, and the group where the company is parent company, hereinafter referred to as the “Group”), as set forth in item A below, and (B) approval of transfer of the issued warrants from the LTIP Company to certain board members as set forth in item B below.

Main terms of the incentive programme
The incentive programme shall encompass four out of the five existing board members in the company (the “Participants”). The incentive programme does not encompass Viktor Drvota. Participation in the incentive programme requires re-election of the board members concerned at the annual general meeting.

The incentive programme entails that Participants, who have entered into an agreement with the LTIP Company (the “Warrant Agreement”), are offered to acquire warrants at market value, calculated as set forth below. Warrants may be transferred to the Participants free-of-charge provided that it does not entail negative tax consequences for the Group (only applicable with respect to Participants in other jurisdictions than Sweden).

The Warrant Agreement will include a so called vesting structure, a re-purchase right for the LTIP Company applicable under certain circumstances, certain transfer restrictions and other terms and conditions customary for such agreements with some potential differences due to requirements under local law.

Each warrant shall entitle the warrant holder to subscribe for one (1) new share in the company.

The subscription price per new share is to be determined based on a certain percentage (120-140%) of the volume weighted average trading price for the company’s share on Nasdaq First North Growth Market during a period of ten (10) trading days before the annual general meeting on 22 June 2021. More detailed provisions for determining the subscription price are set forth below.

The warrants may be exercised for subscription of new shares during the period from and including 1 July 2024 until and including 31 December 2024. Subscription of new shares may however not take place during so-called closed periods according to the EU Market Abuse Regulation, or otherwise in breach of relevant insider rules and regulations (including the company’s internal guidelines in this respect). Warrants that have not been exercised for subscription of new shares by 31 December 2024 shall lapse.

The rationale for the incentive programme
This proposal has been presented considering that the company competes for qualified board members in an internationally competitive market. The overall purpose is to align the interests of the members of the board of directors with those of the shareholders and thereby create maximum long-term value adding commitment. The incentive programme is also intended to create a long-term focus on increase in earnings and growth amongst the Participants.

As of today, there is one share related incentive programme for the board members covered by this proposal in the form of warrants issued in 2019, which will expire in 2022 (“Warrant programme 2019/2022:2”). Please refer to “Existing share related incentive programmes” in the board of directors’ proposal on implementation of a long-term incentive programme for employees and contractors for more information.

This proposal has been presented in view of the share price development and the assessment that Warrant programme 2019/2022:2 no longer fulfils its purpose and will not entail any dilution for existing shareholders.

Existing share related incentive programmes
As of today, there are three different share related incentive programmes for employees and contractors out of which there are two different warrant programmes from 2016 and 2019, respectively, expiring in 2021 and 2022, respectively, and one employee stock option programme (so called qualified employee stock options which are held by Swedish employees only) from 2019 which expires in 2022. In addition, there is one share related incentive programme for board members in the form of warrants issued in 2019, which will expire in 2022 (i.e. Warrant programme 2019/2022:2). Please refer to “Existing share related incentive programmes” in the board of directors’ proposal on implementation of a long-term incentive programme for employees and contractors for more information.

Costs, dilution, etc.
There are costs associated with the incentive programme in respect of valuation, consultancy services and costs for registration and practical management of the programme. There should not be any security costs or similar payable by the Group.

Other than the warrants and employee stock options described under “Existing share related incentive programmes” above, there are no share or share price related incentive programmes outstanding in the company as of today.

Upon full subscription, transfer and exercise of all 799,041 issued warrants, a total of 799,041 new shares will be issued in the company (subject to potential recalculations in accordance with customary terms and conditions applicable for the warrants). This would lead to a dilution corresponding to approximately 1.38 percent of the total share capital and number of shares and votes in the company (calculation based on the share capital and number of shares and votes in the company following registration of the new shares from the rights issue (incl. the over-allotment option) the outcome of which was announced by the company on 12 May 2021). The dilution calculation does not take into account potential new shares as a result of existing incentive programmes or the incentive programme for employees and contractors proposed to be adopted at the annual general meeting meaning that the potential dilution may be lower than the aforementioned.

Accounting for the new shares that may be issued under the proposed incentive programme, the key ratio earnings per share for the full year 2020 had then been changed in such way that the result per share had been changed from SEK -1.48 (as adjusted for the new shares from the rights issue (incl. the over-allotment option) the outcome of which was announced by the company on 12 May 2021) to SEK -1.46 (the calculation excludes other share related incentive programmes and is based on the dilutive effect only without taking costs associated with the proposed incentive programme into consideration).

The above calculations regarding dilution and impact on key ratios are subject to recalculations in accordance with the customary recalculation terms set out for the programme.

Preparation of the proposal
This proposal has been prepared by certain major shareholders together with external consultants. The final proposal has been presented by said shareholders.

Majority requirements
The proposed incentive programme is subject to the provisions in Chapter 16 of the Swedish Companies Act (Sw. Aktiebolagslagen (2005:551)), and a valid resolution therefore requires that the proposal is supported by shareholders representing at least nine-tenths (9/10) of the votes cast as well as of all shares represented at the annual general meeting.

A. Directed issue of warrants

The company shall issue no more than 799,041 warrants of series 2021/2024:2.
Each warrant entitles to subscription of one (1) new share in the company, each with a quotient value of SEK 0.0625. If all warrants are subscribed, transferred to and exercised by the Participants for subscription of new shares, the company’s share capital will increase by SEK 49,940.0625 (subject to potential recalculations in accordance with customary terms and conditions to be applicable in relation to the warrants).
The warrants may, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, only be subscribed for by the company and/or any of its subsidiaries after which they are to be transferred to the Participants in accordance with the resolution adopted by the general meeting. The reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights is that the warrants are to be used within the proposed incentive programme.
Subscription of warrants shall be made on a subscription list on 31 July 2021 at the latest. The board of directors shall be entitled to prolong the subscription period.
The company is not to pay any subscription price for the warrants. Any subsidiary subscribing for warrants shall pay a subscription price corresponding to the theoretical market value of the warrants, calculated by an independent valuation agent engaged by the company by use of the Black & Scholes valuation model. The value of the underlying share shall be determined by use of the same period for measurement as used in relation to the establishment of the subscription price for new shares in accordance with item 7 below. Payment is to be made in connection with subscription of warrants and not later than on 31 July 2021. The board of directors shall be entitled to prolong the time period for payment.
The warrants may be exercised for subscription of new shares during the period from and including 1 July 2024 until and including 31 December 2024.
The subscription price per new share is to be determined based on a certain percentage (120-140%) of the volume weighted average trading price for the company’s share on Nasdaq First North Growth Market during a period of ten (10) trading days before the annual general meeting on 22 June 2021. If no trading price is recorded for a particular trading day within the specified period, such day shall not be taken into account, but the period shall instead be extended forwards in time with the number of succeeding trading days required for the period to comprise ten (10) trading days with a recorded trading price. If the volume weighted average trading price is below SEK 12, the subscription price shall be determined to 140 percent of the volume weighted average trading price. If the volume weighted average trading price is not less than SEK 12 but below SEK 14, the subscription price shall be determined to 130 percent of the volume weighted average trading price. If the volume weighted average trading price is not less than SEK 14, the subscription price shall be determined to 120 percent of the volume weighted average trading price. The subscription price thus calculated shall be rounded off to the nearest whole SEK 0.01, whereupon SEK 0.005 shall be rounded upwards. The subscription price may never be below the quotient value of the shares.
The warrants shall also be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the schedule to the complete proposal.
The chairman of the board of directors, the CEO or a person appointed by the board of directors shall be authorised to make any minor adjustments required to register the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

B. Approval of transfer of warrant to the Participants
A resolution to issue warrants in accordance with this proposal also includes an approval of the transfer of warrants to the Participants.

The warrants are to be transferred to the Participants against a premium payable by the Participants corresponding to the theoretical market value of the warrants as of the date of transfer, calculated by an independent valuation agent engaged by the company by use of the Black & Scholes valuation model. Warrants may be transferred to the Participants free-of-charge provided that it does not entail negative tax consequences for the Group (only applicable with respect to Participants in other jurisdictions than Sweden). The market value is preliminary estimated to SEK 0.65 per warrant, based on a market value of the underlying share corresponding to SEK 13.50 and assuming a subscription price of SEK 17.55 per new share.

The Participants may be allocated warrants as set forth below. No Participant may be offered a higher number of warrants than the maximum allocation set forth below.

Category	Maximum number of warrants per Participant	Maximum number of warrants within the respective category
Chairman of the board of directors	285,372	285,372
Other board members (3 persons)	171,233	513,669

A Participant can choose to acquire a lower but not a higher number of warrants than offered to the Participant.

For Participants in other jurisdictions than Sweden, it is implied that transfer of warrants is legally possible and that transfer, in the company’s opinion, can be carried out with reasonable administrative and financial efforts. The company shall have the right to adjust the terms of the Warrant Programme 2021/2024:2 to the extent required in order for allotment of warrants to participants in other jurisdictions, to the extent practically possible, to be made under the same conditions imposed by the Warrant Programme 2021/2024:2.

The board of directors’ proposed resolutions
The board of directors of the company has presented the following proposed resolutions in relation to items 2, 4, 8, and 13-14 in the proposed agenda.

Item 2. Preparation and approval of the voting list
The voting list that is proposed for approval is the voting list to be prepared by Setterwalls Advokatbyrå AB on behalf of the company, based on the shareholders’ register for the general meeting kept by Euroclear Sweden AB, and postal votes received, and approved by the persons appointed to approve the minutes.

Item 4. Election of one or two persons who shall approve the minutes of the meeting
The board of directors’ proposes that [name] [and [name]], [is/are] to be appointed as person[s] verifying the minutes together with the chairman of the general meeting, or in the event [he/any of the aforementioned] is prevented from doing so, the person(s) the board of directors appoints instead. A person appointed to verify the minutes shall, apart from approving the minutes of the general meeting together with the chairman of the general meeting, check the voting list and that the result of received votes are correctly reflected in the minutes of the general meeting.

Item 8. Allocation of the company’s profits
The board of directors proposes that the Company’s result shall be carried forward in new account and that no dividend shall be paid for the financial year 2020.

Item 13. Resolution on an authorisation for the board of directors to increase the share capital
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves on an authorisation for the board of directors to – for the period up to the next annual general meeting, with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights and at one or more occasions – resolve upon issuance of new shares, warrants and/or convertible debentures. Payment may be made in cash, in kind, through set-off of claims or otherwise be conditional. The company’s share capital may by support of the authorisation be increased by an amount corresponding to not more than ten (10) per cent of the share capital after such issue(s). Deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights shall be allowed in situations where a directed issue is deemed more appropriate for the company due to timing, commercial or similar reasons, and in order to enable acquisitions.

The chairman of the board of directors, the CEO or a person appointed by the board of directors shall be authorised to make any minor adjustments required to register the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office. A valid resolution requires that the proposal is supported by shareholders representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast as well as of all shares represented at the meeting.

Item 14. Resolution on implementation of a long-term incentive programme for employees and contractors by way of (i) a directed issue of warrants and (ii) approval of transfer of warrants
The board of directors of OssDsign AB proposes that the annual general meeting resolves on implementation of a long-term incentive programme (Warrant programme 2021/2024:1) for employees and contractors by way of (A) directed issue of no more than 3,024,945 warrants (of which no more than 2,825,185 warrants of series 2021/2024:1A and no more than 199,760 warrants of series 2021:2024:1B) to the company and/or any of its subsidiaries (the company or a subsidiary, as applicable, hereinafter referred to as the “LTIP Company”), as set forth in item A below, and (B) approval of transfer of the issued warrants from the LTIP Company to certain employees and contractors in the group where the company is parent company (the “Group”) as set forth in item B below.

Main terms of the incentive programme
The incentive programme shall encompass existing and future employees in and contractors of the Group (the “Participants”). Board members of the company will not be allowed to participate. The incentive programme will comprise around ten (10) Participants in total.

Each warrant shall entitle the warrant holder to subscribe for one (1) new share in the company.

The rationale for the incentive programme
The board of directors is of the opinion that share related incentive programmes strengthens the retention of those participating and motivates them to create shareholder value. The board of directors assess that these objectives are in line with all shareholders’ interests.

As of today, there are three different share related incentive programmes for employees and contractors out of which there are two different warrant programmes from 2016 and 2019, respectively, expiring in 2021 and 2022, respectively, and one employee stock option programme (so called qualified employee stock options) from 2019 which expires in 2022. Please refer to “Existing share related incentive programmes” below for more information.

This proposal has been presented in order to enable new-recruits the possibility to participate in a share related incentive programme and, as regards persons already participating in existing share related incentive programmes, in view of the share price development and the board of directors’ assessment that they no longer fulfil their purpose and will not entail any dilution for existing shareholders.

Support for participation
The LTIP Company or another company in the Group shall be allowed to support participation through offering a loan corresponding to the amount that a Participant in the incentive programme shall pay for the warrants. Such loan shall carry market interest and be repaid during the term of the incentive programme. If a Participant leaves the Group before the warrants are exercisable for new shares, the repayment period may be accelerated. A loan may only be granted provided that it’s allowed pursuant to applicable law.

The LTIP Company or another company in the Group shall also be allowed to offer re-payment of an amount corresponding to not more than 50 percent of the amount (net of tax) that a Participant in the incentive programme has paid for the warrants. Such repayment may only be offered if the market value of the company’s share, during the period under which the warrants may be exercised, is lower than the sum of the amount paid per warrant and the subscription price per new share. Repayment shall further be conditional upon continued employment or assignment (as applicable). The board of directors shall have the right to reduce the amount or decide that no repayment is to be made if not deemed justified in the light of the company’s financial position.

Existing share related incentive programmes
As of today, there are three different share related incentive programmes for employees and contractors out of which there are two different warrant programmes from 2016 and 2019 (divided into 2019/2022:1A and 2019/2022:1B), respectively, expiring in 2021 and 2022, respectively, and one employee stock option programme (so called qualified employee stock options which are held by Swedish employees only) from 2019 which expires in 2022. In addition, there is one share related incentive programme for board members in the form of warrants issued in 2019, which will expire in 2022 (“Warrants 2019/2022:2” in the table set forth below).

When issued, each warrant and employee stock option entitled to one share. The different programmes are subject to so called recalculation terms pursuant to which the number of shares each warrant and employee stock option entitles to and the amount to be paid for such shares may be adjusted. The table below sets forth the total number of warrants and employee stock options outstanding as of today as well as the number of new shares in the company in the event such warrants and employee stock options were to be exercised, whereby adjustments in accordance with applicable recalculation terms until the date hereof have been taken into account.

Programme	Number of share related instruments	Maximum number of new shares*	Price per share	Exercise period
Warrants 2016/2021	3,906	62,496 (each warrant entitles to 16 new shares)	SEK 53.125	1 November 2021 - 30 November 2021
Employee stock options 2019/2022	171,262	215,790 (each employee stock option may entail 1.26 new shares)	SEK 25.20	1 July 2022 - 31 December 2022
Warrants 2019/2022:1A	330,295	416,171 (each warrant entitles to 1.26 new shares)	SEK 25.20	1 July 2022 - 31 December 2022
Warrants 2019/2022:1B	61,166	61,166 (each warrant entitles to one (1) new share)	SEK 31.88	1 July 2022 - 31 December 2022
Warrants 2019/2022:2	305,830	385,345(each warrant entitles to 1.26 new shares)	SEK 25.20	1 July 2022 - 31 December 2022

* Pursuant to the Swedish Companies Act, it is not possible to issue fractions of new shares meaning that any excess fractions will be disregarded in the event that warrants and employee stock options are exercised leading to a lower maximum number of new shares. Where applicable, the maximum number of shares have been rounded off downwards to the nearest whole number.

If all warrants and employee stock options were to be exercised, the company’s share capital would increase with SEK 71,310.50 through the issuance of 1,140,968 new shares (subject to potential recalculations in accordance with applicable terms and conditions), each with a quotient value of SEK 0.0625. This would lead to a dilution corresponding to approximately 1.96 percent of the total share capital and number of shares and votes in the company (calculation based on the share capital and number of shares and votes in the company following registration of the new shares from the rights issue (incl. the over-allotment option) the outcome of which was announced by the company on 12 May 2021). The dilution calculation does not take into account potential new shares as a result of the incentive programmes proposed to be adopted at the annual general meeting or any excess fractions in respect of individual holdings (see footnote below the table above) meaning that the potential dilution may be lower than the aforementioned.

Costs, dilution, etc.
There are costs associated with the incentive programme in respect of valuation, consultancy services and costs for registration and practical management of the programme.

In addition to the above, the company’s costs for the programme may include social security costs in relation to the part directed to Participants resident in the U.S. (i.e. warrants of series 2021:2024:1B) as well as in relation to any repayment of up to 50 percent of the acquisition cost for the warrants (net of tax and as described under “Support for participation” above). The total cost for the incentive programme is thus dependent on the outcome of the programme.

Potential costs in relation to Participants resident in the U.S. are appraised to a maximum of approximately SEK 190,000 based on today’s tax rates and the assumption that the value of the company’s shares at the time of exercise of the warrants is SEK 30 per share (the tax rate is currently approximately 7.65 per cent and tax costs are calculated on the difference between the exercise price and the value of the company’s shares at the time of exercise of the warrants). The potential costs are appraised to a maximum of approximately SEK 345,000 should the value of the company’s shares at the time of exercise of the warrants instead be SEK 40 per share (the aforementioned examples are only intended to illustrate the costs in different scenarios and are not a reflection of any appraised development of the share price). There are no costs should the warrants not be exercised for subscription of new shares.

Costs in relation to any repayment of up to 50 percent of the acquisition cost for the warrants are appraised to a maximum of approximately SEK 2 million based on today’s tax rates and the assumption all warrants are acquired against the preliminary estimated market value as set out below under “Approval of transfer of warrants to the Participants”. The appraised costs include potential new-recruits and has been based on the assumption that all new-recruits will be subject to Swedish taxation. The actual outcome will depend on the actual jurisdiction of such new-recruits and there may also be social security costs payable by the Group in relation to the participation as such (typically in respect of the difference between the exercise price and the value of the company’s shares at the time of exercise of the warrants).

Upon full subscription, transfer and exercise of all 3,024,945 issued warrants, a total of 3,024,945 new shares will be issued in the company (subject to potential recalculations in accordance with customary terms and conditions applicable for the warrants). This would lead to a dilution corresponding to approximately 5.03 percent of the total share capital and number of shares and votes in the company (calculation based on the share capital and number of shares and votes in the company following registration of the new shares from the rights issue (incl. the over-allotment option) the outcome of which was announced by the company on 12 May 2021). The dilution calculation does not take into account potential new shares as a result of existing incentive programmes or the incentive programme for board members proposed to be adopted at the annual general meeting meaning that the potential dilution may be lower than the aforementioned.

Accounting for the new shares that may be issued under the proposed incentive programme, the key ratio earnings per share for the full year 2020 had then been changed in such way that the result per share had been changed from SEK -1.48 (as adjusted for the new shares from the rights issue (incl. the over-allotment option) the outcome of which was announced by the company on 12 May 2021) to SEK -1.41 (the calculation excludes other share related incentive programmes and is based on the dilutive effect only without taking costs associated with the proposed incentive programme into consideration).

The above calculations regarding dilution and impact on key ratios are subject to recalculations in accordance with the customary recalculation terms set out for the programmes.

Preparation of the proposal
This proposal has been prepared by the board of directors together with external consultants. The final proposal has been presented by the board of directors.

A. Directed issue of warrants

The company shall issue no more than 3,024,945 warrants of which no more than 2,825,185 warrants of series 2021/2024:1A and no more than 199,760 warrants of series 2021:2024:1B.
Each warrant entitles to subscription of one (1) new share in the company, each with a quotient value of SEK 0.0625. If all warrants are subscribed, transferred to and exercised by the Participants for subscription of new shares, the company’s share capital will increase by SEK 189,059.0625 of which SEK 176,574.0625 in relation to warrants of series 2021/2024:1A and SEK 12,485 in relation to warrants of series 2021:2024:1B (subject to potential recalculations in accordance with customary terms and conditions to be applicable in relation to the warrants).
The warrants may, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, only be subscribed for by the company and/or any of its subsidiaries after which they are to be transferred to the Participants in accordance with the resolution adopted by the general meeting and instructions from the company’s board of directors. The reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights is that the warrants are to be used within the proposed incentive programme.
Subscription of warrants shall be made on a subscription list on 31 July 2021 at the latest. The board of directors shall be entitled to prolong the subscription period.
The company is not to pay any subscription price for the warrants. Any subsidiary subscribing for warrants shall pay a subscription price corresponding to the theoretical market value of the warrants, calculated by an independent valuation agent engaged by the company by use of the Black & Scholes valuation model. The value of the underlying share shall be determined by use of the same period for measurement as used in relation to the establishment of the subscription price for new shares in accordance with item 7 below. Payment is to be made in connection with subscription of warrants and not later than on 31 July 2021. The board of directors shall be entitled to prolong the time period for payment.
The warrants may be exercised for subscription of new shares during the period from and including 1 July 2024 until and including 31 December 2024.
The subscription price per new share is to be determined based on a certain percentage (120-140%) of the volume weighted average trading price for the company’s share on Nasdaq First North Growth Market during a period of ten (10) trading days before the annual general meeting on 22 June 2021. If no trading price is recorded for a particular trading day within the specified period, such day shall not be taken into account, but the period shall instead be extended forwards in time with the number of succeeding trading days required for the period to comprise ten (10) trading days with a recorded trading price. If the volume weighted average trading price is below SEK 12, the subscription price shall be determined to 140 percent of the volume weighted average trading price. If the volume weighted average trading price is not less than SEK 12 but below SEK 14, the subscription price shall be determined to 130 percent of the volume weighted average trading price. If the volume weighted average trading price is not less than SEK 14, the subscription price shall be determined to 120 percent of the volume weighted average trading price. The subscription price thus calculated shall be rounded off to the nearest whole SEK 0.01, whereupon SEK 0.005 shall be rounded upwards. The subscription price may never be below the quotient value of the shares.
Warrants of series 2021/2024:1A and series 2021:2024:1B shall also be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the schedules to the board of directors´ complete proposal.
The chairman of the board of directors, the CEO or a person appointed by the board of directors shall be authorised to make any minor adjustments required to register the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

B. Approval of transfer of warrants to the Participants

A resolution to issue warrants in accordance with this proposal also includes an approval of the transfer of warrants to the Participants.

The board of directors of the company shall resolve upon allocation to Participants in accordance with the guidelines set forth below. No Participant may be offered a higher number of warrants than the maximum allocation set forth below.

*Category*	*Maximum number of warrants per Participant*	*Maximum number of warrants within the respective category*
*CEO*	1,712,235	1,712,235
*CFO*	428,058	428,058
*Other senior management and key individuals (around 8 persons)*	142,686	884,652

A Participant can choose to acquire a lower but not a higher number of warrants than offered to the Participant.

For Participants in other jurisdictions than Sweden, it is implied that transfer of warrants is legally possible and that transfer, in the board of directors’ opinion, can be carried out with reasonable administrative and financial efforts. The board of directors shall have the right to adjust the terms of the Warrant Programme 2021/2024:1 to the extent required in order for allotment of warrants to participants in other jurisdictions, to the extent practically possible, to be made under the same conditions imposed by the Warrant Programme 2021/2024:1.
