The Nomination Committee’s proposals

At the annual general meeting on 16 May 2021, it was resolved to adopt principles for the appointment of a nomination committee for the annual general meeting of 2022. In accordance with the adopted principles, the nomination committee consists of Martin Polo (chairman), Per Lindberg, Theodor Jeansson and Christian von Koenigsegg. The proposals of the nomination committee are as follows:

Item 1 – Election of chairman of the general meeting

The nomination committee proposes that attorney-at-law Mikael Mellberg is elected as chairman of the general meeting.

Item 3- Election of one or several persons to verify the minutes of the meeting

The nomination committee proposes that Theodor Jeansson is elected to verify the minutes of the general meeting.

Item 8 – Determination of remuneration to the board of directors and the auditor

The nomination committee proposes that the remuneration to the board shall be paid as follows:

  • SEK 340,000 to the chairman of the board (SEK 340,000); and
  • SEK 170,000 to each of the other board members (SEK 170,000).

If the general meeting resolves in accordance with the nomination committee’s proposal under item 9, the total remuneration to the board will be SEK 1,190,000 (SEK 1,020,000).

It is proposed that the remuneration to the auditor is paid according to approved invoice.

Item 9 – Election of board of directors

According to the Company’s articles of association, the board of directors shall consist of no less than three and no more than ten ordinary members and no more than five deputy members. The nomination committee proposes that, until the next annual general meeting, the board shall consist of six ordinary members and no deputy members.

It is proposed that Jonas Wikström, Martin Polo, Jon Lind, Magnus Folin and Mikael Mellberg are re‑elected as ordinary board members and that Christian von Koenigsegg is elected as a new ordinary member of the board.

Christian von Koenigsegg was born in 1972 and is one of Sweden’s leading entrepreneurs and a sought after speaker. He founded his first company when he was 19 years old – which today is a holding company in the Koenigsegg group of companies. Christian is known for having built a world renowned highly innovative Swedish sportscar company that has set new benchmarks in the industry, growing rapidly and profitably. Christian has also received several prestigious rewards for his entrepreneurship over the years and has deep knowledge in bleeding edge technology when it comes to SW/HW and mechanical design, plus has spearheaded his operations when it comes to design, marketing and sales. Christian has an International Baccalaureate degree from the Scandinavian School of Brussels.

Christian is mainly focused on the companies within the Koenigsegg group, which he controls as leader and majority shareholder, but is also actively investing in other companies. Christian’s current positions include CEO and chair of the board in Koenigsegg Automotive AB, Alpraaz AB and Freevalve AB as well as CEO and board member in Spirit of Performance AB and Meneko AB.

Christian holds together with closely related parties approximately 10.82 percent of the shares in the Company and is thus considered dependent in relation to that group of shareholders. Christian is independent of the Company and its executive management.

The nomination committee proposes that Jonas Wikström is elected as chairman of the board.

Item 10 – Election of auditor

The nomination committee will present its proposal for auditor well in advance of the general meeting. The nomination committee’s proposal will be published on the company’s website, www.oxemarine.com.

Item 11 – Resolution on principles for appointment of nomination committee

The nomination committee proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to approve the following instructions on appointment of a nomination committee for the annual general meeting 2023:

  • The nomination committee shall be convened by the chairman of the board and shall consist of representatives of the four largest shareholders.
  • The representative of the largest shareholder shall be the chairman of the nomination committee. If the representative of the largest shareholder declines the assignment as chairman of the nomination committee, the nomination committee shall within itself appoint a chairman.
  • The names of the members of the nomination committee as well as the shareholders they represent shall be announced as soon as they have been appointed.
  • If a shareholder, who is represented in the nomination committee, after the announcement no longer is one of the four largest shareholders, its representative shall resign from its position and such shareholder that by this time is instead one of the four largest shareholders shall be invited to nominate a representative on the Company’s nomination committee.
  • Shareholders who have appointed representatives in the nomination committee are entitled to remove such representatives and appoint new representatives.
  • If a shareholder, who is entitled to appoint a member of the nomination committee, declines to appoint a member, this right shall not be transferred to another shareholder.
  • The nomination committee shall prepare proposals on the following issues for resolution at the annual general meeting 2023:
    • Chairman at the meeting;
    • Board remuneration;
    • Election of board members and chairman of the board;
    • Election of auditor and remuneration to the auditor; and
    • Principles for appointment of nomination committee for the annual general meeting 2024.

No remuneration will be paid to the nomination committee. However, the Company shall reimburse reasonable costs to enable the nomination committee to carry out its assignments.

The Board of Directors’ proposals

Item 7.b) – Allocation of the Company’s result according to the adopted balance sheet

The board does not propose any dividends for the financial year 2021.

Item 12 – Resolution to change the articles of association

In order to (i) enable new issues under item 13, (ii) increase the flexibility to hold general meetings and (iii) adapt the articles of association to amendments in the Swedish Companies Act, the board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to change the articles of association as set out in Appendix 1. The board of directors’ proposal means that:

  • the limits for the Company’s share capital shall be not less than SEK 5,000,000 and not more than SEK 20,000,000 instead of not less than SEK 2,000,000 and not more than SEK 8,000,000;
  • the limits for the number of shares in the Company shall be not less than 187,500,000 and not more than 750,000,000 instead of not less than 75,000,000 and not more than 300,000,000;
  • the board may collect proxies according to the procedure stated in Chapter 7 Section 4 second paragraph of the Swedish Companies Act;
  • the board may resolve that the shareholders may exercise their voting rights by post; and
  • shareholders wanting to participate at the general meeting shall be recorded in the share register as of six business days before the general meeting, instead of five weekdays.

The CEO, or a person appointed by the board of directors, shall be entitled to make any minor amendments that may be required in connection with registering the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

Item 13 – Authorization for the board of directors to issue new shares, warrants and/or convertibles

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to authorize the board to, at one or several occasions during the time up until the next annual general meeting, resolve on new issues of shares, warrants and/or convertibles. The board shall have the right to resolve on new issues of shares, warrants and/or convertibles with deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights and/or with provisions on payment in kind, by set-off of claims or otherwise on such terms and conditions as referred to in Chapter 2, Section 5, second paragraph, points 1–3 and 5, of the Swedish Companies Act.

The total increase of shares that may be issued based on or as a result of this authorization cannot in aggregate exceed 20 percent of the number of outstanding shares in the Company at the time of the annual general meeting. Issues based on the authorization shall be made at market value, including market rate discount, if applicable.

The board shall have the right to set the terms and conditions for issues under this authorization as well as to decide who shall have the right to subscribe for the new shares, warrants or convertibles. The reasons for the board to resolve on issues with deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights and/or with provisions on payment in kind, by set-off of claims or otherwise on such terms and conditions as referred to in Chapter 2, Section 5, second paragraph, points 1–3 and 5, of the Swedish Companies Act are to be able to carry out directed share issues to raise capital to the Company and/or to strengthen the Company's financial position.

The CEO, or a person appointed by the board of directors, shall be entitled to make any minor amendments that may be required in connection with registering the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and/or Euroclear.

A resolution in accordance with this proposal requires approval by at least two thirds (2/3) of the votes cast as well as the shares represented at the general meeting.
