The board of directors or a person appointed by the board of directors shall be authorized to make such minor adjustments in this resolution that may be required in connection with the registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
Resolution in accordance with this item is conditional upon that the extra general meeting resolves to approve the board of directors' resolution on a rights issue in accordance with item 8.
Item 8: Resolution regarding approval of the board of directors' resolution on a rights issue of units
The board of directors of the Company proposes that the extra general meeting resolves to approve the board of directors' resolution on a rights issue of a maximum of 45,741,388 class B shares and a maximum of 20,791,540 warrants of series TO3 B as follows:
The new shares and warrants shall be issued in units, where each unit shall consist of 11 class B shares and 5 free warrants of series TO3 B.
The subscription price is SEK 28.71 per unit (equivalent to SEK 2.61 per share), which corresponds to a total of SEK 119,385,022.68 if all units are subscribed for. Upon subscription of class B shares, the part of the subscription price that exceeds the quotient value of the previous shares shall be allocated to the non-restricted share premium fund. The warrants are issued at no consideration.
One warrant of series TO3 B entitles to subscription of one new B share in the Company at a subscription price of SEK 2.61, corresponding to a discount of approximately 39.9 percent of the theoretical ex-rights price (TERP), based on the closing price of the Company’s class B share on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market on 20 October 2023. Upon subscription of class B shares, the part of the subscription price that exceeds the quotient value of the previous shares shall be allocated to the non-restricted share premium fund.
Subscription of a new share by exercise of warrant of series TO3 B shall take place during the period from 12 September 2024 up to and including 30 September 2024.
The complete terms and conditions for the warrants of series TO3 B will be available on the Company's website no later than two weeks prior to the general meeting, including conditions regarding re-calculation, in certain cases, of the subscription price and the number of shares a warrant entitles to.
Through the issuance of shares the Company's share capital will increase with a maximum of SEK 3,049,425.868771. At subscription of shares through exercise of all warrants of series TO3 B, the Company's share capital may increase with an additional maximum of SEK 1,386,102.667624, and the number of shares with an additional maximum of 20,791,540 shares.
Those who on the record date on 27 November 2023 are recorded as a holder of shares in the share register kept by Euroclear Sweden AB shall have a preferential right, to subscribe for new units at a subscription price of SEK 28.71 per unit (equivalent to SEK 2.61 per share). Shareholders receive 1 unit right for each share held as of the record date. 11 unit rights entitle the holder to subscribe for one unit in the rights issue consisting of 11 shares and 5 warrants of series TO3 B.
Subscription for units with unit rights shall be made by payment in cash during the period from 29 November 2023 up until and including 13 December 2023. Subscription for units without unit rights shall be made on a subscription list during the period from 29 November 2023 up until and including 13 December 2023. Payment for units subscribed for without unit rights shall be made no later than three days following issue of a transfer note that include a decision of allotment. The board of directors is entitled to extend the subscription period and the last day for payment.
If all of the units are not subscribed for with unit rights, the board will resolve on allotment of units subscribed for without unit rights. Allotment will then be made firstly to persons who have applied for subscription without unit rights and who have subscribed for units with unit rights, regardless of whether or not the subscriber was a shareholder on the record date, and in case of oversubscription, allocation shall be made in relation to the total number of units allotted through exercise of unit rights, and to the extent that this is not possible, by drawing of lots. Secondly, allocation shall be made to other persons who have applied for subscription without unit rights, and in the case of oversubscription, pro rata to the number of units subscribed for in the application form, and to the extent that this is not possible, by drawing of lots. Finally, allotment shall be made to the investors who have provided guarantees and in accordance with the conditions of their respective guarantee.
Subscription shall be made only in units and not for shares or warrants separately. Allotment shall be made in units only. However, after the issuance the shares and warrants will be separated.
The resolution requires amendment of the Company's articles of association in accordance with item 7.
The new shares, and new shares issued through exercise of warrants, will entitle to dividend for the first time on the record date for dividend that occurs following the registration of the new shares with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB.
The board of directors or anyone appointed by the board of directors is given the right to make the adjustments necessary in connection with the registration of the resolution at the Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB.
