Item 2: Election of one person to verify the minutes of the meeting

It is proposed that Jannis Kitsakis, or in the event of his absence, the person designated by the board of directors, in addition to the chairman, verifies the minutes.

Item 7 b): Resolution on allocation of the company’s profit or loss in accordance with the adopted balance sheet

Cash dividend for ordinary shares

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves on a dividend to the holders of ordinary shares of SEK 1.20 per ordinary share and that Friday 30 April 2021 is the record date for the dividend. If the annual general meeting resolves in accordance with the board’s proposal, payment of the dividend to holders of ordinary shares is expected to be made through Euroclear Sweden AB on Wednesday 5 May 2021.

Cash dividend for preference shares

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves on a dividend to the holders of preference shares, in accordance with the company’s articles of association, of SEK 40.00 per preference share to be paid quarterly in an amount of SEK 10.00 per preference share and that the record dates for the dividends shall be 5 May 2021, 5 August 2021, 5 November 2021 and 5 February 2022 (or the previous business day, in accordance with the company’s articles of association). The board of directors further proposes that the board of directors shall have the right to postpone, in whole or in part, the dividend to the holders of preference shares, if the board of directors, in connection with the payment date, or otherwise, considers that the dividend is not justifiable in relation to the Swedish Companies Act’s precautionary principle, whereby no dividend shall be paid in connection to such undivided amount and that such undivided amount shall constitute Amount Outstanding in accordance with the company’s articles of association.

Based on dividends to all ordinary shares and preference shares outstanding at the date of this notice, the board of directors proposed cash dividend to holders of ordinary shares amounts to a total amount of SEK 95,287,885.20 and the proposed annual cash dividend to holders of preference shares during the period May 2021-February 2022 amounts to a total amount of SEK 64,150,960.00. In addition it is noted that the extraordinary general meeting of 2 February 2021 resolved on a dividend to the holders of preference shares of SEK 49,396,239.20 and a dividend to the holders of ordinary shares of SEK 794,065,70, which were carried out on 5 February 2021 and 12 February 2021 respectively, and which have been considered in the annual accounts for 2020 and has accordingly already been reduced from the amount available for the annual general meeting’s disposal.

Dividend-in-kind of shares in Bokusgruppen to holders of ordinary shares

On 19 February 2021, the board of directors announced its intention to distribute the business area Akademibokhandeln to holders of ordinary shares through a dividend-in-kind of the company’s shares in the subsidiary Bokusgruppen AB (publ), reg.no 559025-8637, (“Bokusgruppen”).

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to distribute all of the company’s shares in Bokusgruppen at the time of the distribution (the “Shares”) to holders of ordinary shares in the company. At the time of this notice, the company holds approximately 98 per cent of the shares in Bokusgruppen.

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves that five (5) ordinary shares in the Company on the record date for the dividend entitles the holder to one (1) share in Bokusgruppen. If the holding in ordinary shares is not evenly divisible by five (5), fractions of shares in Bokusgruppen will be received. All such fractions will be consolidated into whole shares and thereafter be sold through Erik Penser Bank. The proceeds will be paid in cash via Euroclear, without deduction of any commissions.

The value of the dividend of the Shares is determined on the basis of the book value at the time of the distribution of the Shares to the holders of ordinary shares in Volati taking into account applicable accounting provisions. As of 31 December 2020, Volati held approximately 98 per cent of the shares in Bokusgruppen, corresponding to a book value of approximately SEK 254 million. This value is expected to be effected by the Company converting receivables of approximately SEK 165 million to shares in Bokusgruppen (through set-off issue), in order to achieve a suitable debt and cash structure in Bokusgruppen. The book value of the Shares at the time of the dividend is thereby estimated to amount to approximately SEK 419 million.

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting authorises the board of directors to determine the record date for the right to receive shares in Bokusgruppen.

The distribution of shares in Bokusgruppen is expected to be carried out in accordance with the so-called Lex Asea rules. Lex Asea is a Swedish tax regulation. The provision implies, in brief, that the shares in a subsidiary under certain circumstances can be distributed without triggering any immediate taxation of the dividend for Swedish resident shareholders (instead, the tax basis for the shares in the parent company is allocated between the shares in the parent company and the received shares in the subsidiary).

An information brochure containing additional information regarding the distribution and Bokusgruppen’s business will be published on the company’s website prior to the annual general meeting, www.volati.se.

Item 8: Determination of the numbers of members of the board of directors

The nomination committee proposes that the annual general meeting resolves on that the board of directors, for the time until the close of the next annual general meeting, shall comprise seven board members without deputies.

Item 9: Determination of the remuneration to the members of the board of directors

The nomination committee proposes that the annual general meeting resolves on remuneration to the board of directors, for the time until the next annual general meeting, as follows:

SEK 400,000 (unchanged) shall be paid to the chairman of the board;
SEK 200,000 (unchanged) shall be paid to the other board members elected by the annual general meeting that are not employed by the company; and
SEK 75,000 shall be paid to the board member who is chairman and SEK 50,000 shall be paid to each of the board members who are otherwise members of an audit committee instituted by the board of directors.

Item 10: Election of the members of the board of directors and the chairman of the board of directors

The nomination committee proposes that the annual general meeting, for the time until the close of the next annual general meeting, resolves on the election of:

Members of the board of directors:

Karl Perlhagen (re-election)
Patrik Wahlén (re-election)
Björn Garat (re-election)
Louise Nicolin (re-election)
Christina Tillman (re-election)
Anna-Karin Celsing (re-election)
Magnus Sundström (re-election)

Chairman of the board of directors:

Patrik Wahlén (re-election)

A presentation of the board members that are proposed to be re-elected can be found on the company’s website, www.volati.se.

The independence of the proposed board members

Considering the rules on board members’ independence set out in the Swedish Corporate Governance Code, the nomination committee is of the opinion that five of the seven proposed board members: Anna-Karin Celsing, Björn Garat, Louise Nicolin, Magnus Sundström and Christina Tillman, are independent in relation to the company, its senior management and its major shareholders.

The nomination committee does not consider Patrik Wahlén to be independent in relation to the company, its senior management or its major shareholders as Patrik Wahlén is a major shareholder and has been employed as senior advisor in the company up until the 2018 annual general meeting. Further, the nomination committee does not consider Karl Perlhagen to be independent in relation to the company’s major shareholders as he is a major shareholder.

Item 11: Determination of fees to the auditor

The nomination committee proposes that the annual general meeting resolves on that the fees to the auditor shall be paid against approved invoices.

Item 12: Election of auditor

The nomination committee proposes that the annual general meeting resolves on re-election of Ernst & Young Aktiebolag as the auditor of the company for the time until the close of the next annual general meeting.

Item 13: Resolution on the nomination committee

The nomination committee proposes that the instruction for the appointment of the members of the nomination committee which were adopted on the annual general meeting of 2020 shall be applied until further notice.

The instruction for the appointment of the members of the nomination committee adopted on the annual general meeting of 2020 is published on the Company’s website: www.volati.se.

Item 14: Resolution on the remuneration report

The board of directors proposes no amendments in the guidelines for remuneration to the senior management (the “Guidelines”) adopted by the annual general meeting on 25 June 2020.

The board of directors’ remuneration report for 2020 provides an outline of how the Guidelines have been implemented in 2020. The Report also provides information on the remuneration to Volati’s CEO. The Report has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 8, Sections 53 a and 53 b of the Swedish Companies Act (2005:551) and the remuneration rules issued by the Swedish Corporate Governance Board.

There have been no deviations from the procedure for the implementation of the Guidelines and no derogations from the application of the Guidelines in 2020.

The Remuneration Report for 2020 is published on the Company’s website, www.volati.se.

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting approve the remuneration report.

Item 15: Resolution on an authorisation for the board of directors to resolve on acquisitions of own ordinary shares and preference shares

1. Acquisitions may only be made of so many shares that the company’s holding of own shares after each such acquisition amounts to a maximum of one tenth within each class of shares in the company.
2. Acquisitions may be made (i) on Nasdaq Stockholm, (ii) in accordance with an offer directed to all holders of ordinary shares, (iii) in accordance with an offer directed to all holders of preference shares or (iv) in accordance with an offer directed to all shareholders.

5. Acquired shares shall be paid in cash.
6. The purpose of an acquisition of own shares shall be (i) to achieve flexibility regarding the company’s equity and thereby enable an optimised capital structure or (ii) as regards acquisitions of preference shares, to enable the use of preference shares as consideration for or as financing of acquisitions of companies or businesses.
7. The board of directors shall have the right to set the other terms and conditions for each acquisition of own ordinary shares or preference shares.

Item 16: Resolution on an authorisation for the board of directors to resolve on transfers of own preference shares

1. Transfers may be made of preference shares held by the company at the time of the board of directors’ resolution.
2. Transfers of own preference shares may be made on Nasdaq Stockholm and by other means than on Nasdaq Stockholm.

6.

7. The board of directors shall have the right to set the other terms and conditions for each transfer of own preference shares.

Item 17: Resolution on an authorisation for the board of directors to resolve on issues of preference shares

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves on an authorisation for the board of directors to, on one or several occasions before the next annual general meeting, resolve on issues of not more than 320,754 preference shares (corresponding to approximately 20 per cent of the number of outstanding preference shares). The board of directors shall have the right to decide that the share issue shall be made with or without pre-emption rights for the shareholders and that the shares, in addition to be paid in cash, may be paid in kind, by way of set-off or on terms set out in Chapter 2, section 5, second paragraph of the Swedish Companies Act.

The purpose of the authorisation is, and the rationale for any deviations from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights shall be, to enable the company to use newly issued preference shares as consideration for or as financing of acquisitions of companies or businesses.

Item 18: Resolution on approval of warrant program in Bokusgruppen

The warrant program in short

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting approves of the subsidiary Bokusgruppen AB’s (“Bokusgruppen”) decision to adopt a warrant program under which Bokusgruppen invites up to 10 people within the group to acquire warrants in Bokusgruppen. The right to acquire warrants shall be granted to Bokusgruppen’s CEO and senior executives. Each participant is also entitled to, following approval from Bokusgruppen, acquire warrants through a company which is wholly owned by such participant, and in such event what is said in relation to participants below shall also apply in respect of such wholly owned companies. The board members of Bokusgruppen shall not be granted any warrants. The board’s proposal means that the annual general meeting resolves to approve Bokusgruppen’s decision to (i) adopt a warrant program, and (ii) carry out a directed issue of not more than 647,054 warrants to the participants of the warrant program.

The purpose of the proposed warrant program is to create conditions for retaining and recruiting competent personnel to Bokusgruppen, increase the motivation amongst the participants, increase their loyalty to the company and align their interest with that of the company’s shareholders as well as promote a personal shareholding, and thereby promote shareholder value and the company’s long term value creation capability. Since the warrants are partly subscribed by the participants at market value and partly presupposes a positive share price development for Bokusgruppen, no performance criteria are set for exercise.

Resolution of issue of warrants 2021/2024

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to approve Bokusgruppen’s issue of warrants to be exercised in accordance with the terms and conditions set out below.

Number of warrants to be issued

Bokusgruppen shall issue a maximum of 647,054 warrants.

Right to subscription

The right to subscribe for warrants shall, with deviation from the shareholder’s pre-emption rights, belong to the CEO and other senior executives of Bokusgruppen.

Bokusgruppen’s CEO may subscribe for a maximum of 117,647 warrants, other participants may subscribe for a maximum of 58,823 warrants per person.

Group	Number of participants	Participants	Warrants per person
Group 1	Up to 1	CEO	Maximum 117,647
Group 2	Up to 9	Senior executives	Maximum 58,823

In connection with the subscription of the warrants, Bokusgruppen shall in a separate agreement reserve the right to repurchase warrants if the participant’s employment in Bokusgruppen is terminated or if the participant wish to transfer warrants.

Reason for deviating from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights

The reason for deviating from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights is, by way of an warrant programme, to create conditions for retaining and recruiting competent personnel to Bokusgruppen, increase the motivation amongst the participants, increase their loyalty to the company and align their interest with that of the company’s shareholders as well as promote a personal shareholding, and thereby promote shareholder value and the company’s long-term value creation capability.

Subscription and payment

Subscription for the warrants shall take place on a separate subscription list no later than on the trading day which falls six (6) trading days after the first day of trading in Bokusgruppens share on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market.

Payment of the subscription price shall be made in cash to an account appointed by Bokusgruppen no later than one week after the last day of subscription for the warrants.

Over-subscription

Over-subscription is not allowed.

Subscription price

The subscription price shall be in accordance with market value and the price shall be established in accordance with the Black & Scholes’ valuation model.

Svalner intends to carry out the valuation based on the following assumptions made at the time of this notice; a risk-free interest rate of -0.2 per cent and a volatility of 30 per cent. The subscription price, calculated in accordance with the above shall be rounded to the nearest SEK 0.10, where SEK 0.05 shall be rounded down.

Terms and conditions for the warrants

1. Each warrant shall entitle the holder to subscribe for one new share in Bokusgruppen.
2. The subscription price for each new share shall be equal to 130 per cent of the Original Price (as defined below). The “Original Price” is equal to the volume-weighted average price of Bokusgruppen’s share on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market during the five (5) trading days immediately following the first day of trading in Bokusgruppen’s share on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market. The Original Price and subscription price calculated in accordance with the above shall be rounded to the nearest SEK 0.10, where SEK 0.05 shall be rounded down.
3. The warrants may be exercised during a period of four (4) months which commences on the day that falls three (3) years after the last day of subscription of the warrants. Under the terms and conditions of the warrants, the period during which the warrants may be exercised may be extended if participants are prevented from exercising their subscription rights due to applicable laws on insider trading or equivalent.
4. The new shares shall carry rights to dividends for the first time on the record day for dividends that occurs after subscription has been executed.
5. The complete terms and conditions for the warrants will be available on Volati’s website, www.volati.se, no later than 31 March 2021.

Increase in share capital

Bokusgruppen’s share capital may, upon exercise of all 647,054 warrants, increase by SEK 24,072.349962 (calculated on a quota value (Sw. kvotvärde) of SEK 0.037203 which is based on the number of shares and equity after changes in Bokusgruppen’s equity and number of shares which are scheduled to be carried out prior to resolution on the warrant program by the general meeting in Bokusgruppen), subject to such recalculation of the number of shares that each warrant entitles subscription for that may be made in accordance with the complete terms and conditions of the warrants. If the subscription price exceeds the quota value, the excess amount shall be allotted to the non-restricted statutory reserve (Sw. fria överkursfonden).

Authorisation

The board of directors of Bokusgruppen shall be authorised to extend the subscription and payment period. The board of directors and Bokusgruppen's board of directors shall be authorised to make such minor adjustments in the resolution that may be required in connection with the registration of the warrants with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB.

Dilution effect

If all 647,054 warrants of series 2021/2024 are exercised for subscription of 647,054 new shares, the dilution effect will be approximately 3.9 per cent (based on the total number of shares and equity after changes which are scheduled to be carried out prior to resolution on the warrant program by the general meeting in Bokusgruppen).

Other share related incentive programs

At the time of the annual general meeting, Volati AB (publ) and Bokusgruppen have no outstanding share related incentive programs.

Costs

The subscribers will acquire the warrants at market value, which means that the warrants will not cause any personnel costs for Bokusgruppen. The program is only expected to cause certain limited costs for the subsidiary in the form of fees to external advisors and administration fees regarding the program. Therefore, no measures to secure the programme are planned to be made.

Impact on important key figures

Bokusgruppen's earnings per share are not affected by the issue of the warrants as the present value of the exercise price of the warrants exceeds the current market value of the share at the time of the issue.

Preparation of the proposal

The warrant program is prepared by Bokusgruppen's board of directors and was discussed at a board meeting in March 2021. The board’s proposal that the annual general meeting shall approve the warrant program and the directed issue of warrants was discussed at board meeting in Volati AB (publ) during March 2021.

Conditions

The annual general meeting’s resolution in accordance with item 18 shall be conditional upon the shares of Bokusgruppen being listed on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market (or equivalent) no later than 31 July 2021.
