Announcement from Ovzon's extra general meeting
The extra general meeting of Ovzon AB (publ) ("Ovzon" or the "Company") was held today on 21 December 2018 and the following resolution was passed by the meeting.
Authorization to issue new shares
In accordance with the board of directors proposal, the extra general meeting resolved to authorize the board of directors to, during the period up until the next annual general meeting, on one or more occasions, resolve to issue shares, within the limits of the articles of association, with or without preferential rights for the shareholders, to be paid in cash, in kind and/or by way of set-off.
A new share issue with deviation from the shareholders preferential rights may only be carried out as part of, or in connection with, a rights issue and only correspond to OverHorizon (Cyprus) Plc’s ownership in the Company.
The reasons for the authorization are to increase the Company’s flexibility and possibility to advance the development of the Company’s satellite projects.
Issuances of new shares under the authorization shall be made on customary terms and conditions based on current market conditions.
Change of the Articles of association
Furthermore and in accordance with the board of director’s proposal, the extra general meeting resolved to change the limits for number of shares and share capital in the articles of association. It was also resolved to authorize the board of directors which articles adopted by the extra general meeting shall be registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
