The company’s shareholders can use their right to vote by way of advance voting. Advance voting instructions can be found in Section C of this notice.


A. MATTERS ON THE AGENDA OF THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

1. Opening of the meeting

2. Calling the meeting to order

3. Election of persons to scrutinise the minutes and to supervise the counting of votes

4. Recording the legality of the meeting

5. Recording the attendance at the meeting and adoption of the list of votes

6. Approval of the material terms and conditions of convertible loan and authorising the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of special rights entitling to shares

The Board of Directors proposes to the Extraordinary General Meeting that it approves the material terms and conditions of the EUR 15,000,000 convertible loan to be taken from an affiliate of Tencent Holdings Ltd, Image Frame Investment (HK) Limited. The material terms and conditions of the convertible loan are as follows:

  • Loan amount: EUR 15,000,000.
     
  • Interest rate: The interest rate of the loan is 8.0% per annum, calculated on the basis of 365 days, and it is capitalised annually on December 31.
     
  • Maturity date: The loan, including accrued interest, becomes due and payable in five years from the drawdown date.
     
  • Conversion right: The conversion right of the loan begins three years after the drawdown date and ends on the maturity date five years after the drawdown date. During this time, the lender has the right to convert the loan and accrued interest into shares at a conversion price of EUR 27.20 per share. Remedy will grant the lender special rights under the Finnish Companies Act to implement the conversion right related to the loan.
     
  • Repayment option: Remedy has the right, at any time after three years from the drawdown date, to repay the loan in full if the volume-weighted average price of Remedy’s share on the Nasdaq Helsinki Stock Exchange exceeds 130% of the conversion price (i.e., EUR 35.36) over any twenty (20) consecutive trading days. In this case, the lender has the priority right to convert the loan into shares if it does not wish to accept the repayment.
     
  • Early repayment: Remedy must repay the loan at the lender’s request within the agreed time period if the lender becomes legally prevented from continuing to fulfil their obligations under the loan terms or if Remedy breaches the terms of the loan agreement.
     
  • Priority and security: The loan is unsecured and ranks lower in priority than all secured or preferential creditors in the event of bankruptcy or similar events.

The Board of Directors proposes that the Extraordinary General Meeting authorises the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of special rights as referred to in Chapter 10, Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act (624/2006, as amended) under the following terms:

  • The Board of Directors may, under the authorisation, decide to issue a total of up to 811,100 special rights. Each special right entitles to subscribe for one (1) new share or a treasury share held by the company. The proposed maximum number of special rights corresponds to approximately 5.98 percent of all shares in the company as of the date of the notice to the Extraordinary General Meeting.
  • The special rights will be granted to the lender of the convertible loan in a manner determined by the Board of Directors and are intended to enable the lender to exercise the conversion right related to the loan.
  • The subscription price for each share subscribed for by the special rights is EUR 27.20.
  • The lender has the right to pay the subscription price for the shares subscribed for by the special rights by using the principal of the convertible loan and accrued interest for set-off.
  • The authorisation is valid until December 31, 2024, and does not revoke any previous authorisations, which remain in effect.
  • The Board of Directors has the right to decide on all other terms and conditions related to the special rights and matters related to their issuance.
