Resolution to amend the articles of association
To enable new issues of shares and warrants, the AGM resolved to amend the limits of the share capital in the articles of association from minimum SEK 550 000 and maximum SEK 2 200 000 to minimum SEK 1 100 000 and maximum SEK 4 400 000, and to amend the limits of the number of shares in the articles of association from minimum 11 801 593 and maximum 47 206 372 to minimum 23 603 186 and maximum 94 412 744.

Resolution to new issue of shares and warrants
The AGM did not approve the suggested issue of new shares.

Resolution to authorise the board of directors to issue new shares, warrants and/or convertible instruments
The AGM decided to authorise the board of directors to, on one or more occasions during the period up to the next annual meeting, resolve to issue new shares, warrants and/or convertible instruments, within the limits of share capital and numbers of shares determined by the AGM. The board of directors shall be authorised to adopt decisions of new issues of shares, warrants and/or convertible instruments with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights and/or an issue in kind or an issue by way of set-off 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 authorisation replaces the existing authorisation for the board of directors to resolve on new issues of shares, warrants and/or convertible instruments, resolved upon at the 2018 Annual General Meeting.

The purpose of the authorisation is that the Company shall be able to issue shares, warrants and/or convertible instruments in connection to acquisitions of companies or businesses and to carry-out directed new issues in order to raise capital to the Company.

Comment from the member of the board of directors Lars Friis Mikkelsen: ”The AGM chose not to approve the suggested issue of new shares since the Company is subject to a public offer on the Company’s shares. The authorisation from the AGM to the board of directors to resolve on issues of shares secures the Company’s future financing irrespective of the outcome of the public offer”.
