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.

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.
