The Nomination Committee shall among its members elect a chairman of the Committee. If a shareholder wishes not to take part in the Nomination Committee, or chooses to leave the Committee, the next largest shareholder shall be entitled to appoint a representative as replacement. If the ownership structure has changed by the end of the fourth quarter, the composition of the Nomination Committee shall be adjusted accordingly, if possible and if it is deemed necessary. Item 14: The Board of Directors proposes that the Meeting authorizes the Board to decide on one or more occasions in the period until the next Annual Meeting to increase the company’s share capital with aggregate SEK 300.000 by issue of maximum 3.000.000 new series B shares, each share having a par value of SEK 0.10. Such issues may take place with or without preferential rights for existing shareholders. The new shares shall be issued on market conditions and payment for the new shares shall be against payment in kind or set-off in accordance with 4:6 of the Companies Act (Swe: Aktiebolagslagen). The Board of Directors shall also in accordance with 4:6 of the Companies Act, subject to the foregoing conditions, be authorized to determine other terms which the Board deems necessary to carry out a new issue of shares. The reasons for the Board of Directors to be able to bypass the preferential rights of existing shareholders are that financing in connection with future acquisitions may be required with payment in shares and/or through the issue of new shares against payment in kind. Beginning April 6, 2005, the complete proposal will be available at the company’s head office and will be sent to shareholders on request. ________________ The Annual Report 2005 will be made available on March 29 2005 on www.readsoft.com and at the company’s head office in Helsingborg and will be sent to shareholders that request so.
