The Board proposes that the AGM authorizes the Board of Directors, to decide on new share issue, on one or more occasions during the period until the next Annual General Meeting, with or without waiving the shareholders preferential rights. Issues may be made with or without the provision of contribution, set-off or other terms. The number of shares to be issued may not exceed a total of 8,117,283. Dilution of capital may, upon full exercise of the authorization, amount to no more than about 10 per cent of the registered share capital at the time of the utilization of the authorization. The reason for the authorization is to enable the raise of working capital. To the extent the authorization is used for issue against cash payment waiving the shareholders' preferential rights, the issue price should be market-based.
A resolution under paragraph 17 requires that the proposal is supported by shareholders with at least two-thirds of the votes cast and shares represented at the meeting.
