Resolution on authorisation for the board of directors to resolve on issue of new shares, warrants or convertibles

  1. with preferential rights for the shareholders or against payment by an in-kind contribution
  2. without regard to the shareholders' preferential rights and against payment in cash or through set-off (items 15.a-15.b)

The board of directors proposes that the AGM authorises the board of directors to resolve, on one or several occasions before the next AGM, on issue of new shares, warrants or convertibles, according to the conditions set forth in items a. and/or b. below. The resolutions on items a. and b. shall be adopted as two separate resolutions.

  1. The AGM authorises the board of directors to resolve, on one or several occasions before the next AGM, on issue of new shares, warrants or convertibles with preferential rights for the shareholders or conditional to payment by an in-kind contribution. As regards to the preferential issue, the payment may be in cash or through set-off. The total number of shares that may be issued, or, as regards issue of convertibles or warrants, issued by conversion or exercise, under the authorisation of this item a) shall not be limited in any other way than by the limits for the share capital and number of shares, as set forth from time to time in the registered articles of association.
  1. The AGM authorises the board of directors to resolve, on one or several occasions before the next AGM, on issue of new shares, warrants or convertibles without regard to the shareholders’ preferential rights. Shares, warrants or convertibles will be issued for cash payment or payment through set-off. The total number of shares that may be issued, or, as regards issue of convertibles or warrants, issued by conversion or exercise, under the authorisation of this item b) shall not be limited in any other way than by the limits for the share capital and number of shares, as set forth from time to time in the registered articles of association.

Resolution on (a) a reverse share split and (b) amendment of the articles of association (item 16)
For the purpose of achieving an appropriate number of shares in the company, the Board of directors proposes that the AGM resolves on a reverse share split in accordance with item (a) below. In order to carry out the reverse share split in accordance with the board of director's proposal (a), the limits for the number of shares set forth in the articles of association need to be adjusted in accordance with item (b) below.

(a) Resolution on a reverse share split
The board of directors proposes that the AGM resolves on a reverse share split of the company’s shares, whereby twenty (20) existing shares will be consolidated into one (1) new share (Sw. sammanläggning 1:20).

The board of directors proposes that the AGM authorizes the board of directors to determine the record date for the reverse share split. The record date may not occur prior to the registration of the reverse share split with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

In connection with the determination of the record date for the reverse share split, the board of directors shall publish details of the procedure for the reverse share split.

The resolution on the reverse share split shall be conditional on Peter Nilsson, one of the major shareholders, agreeing free of charge to contribute shares to shareholders whose number of shares is not evenly divisible by 20. Peter Nilsson has also undertaken to round its remaining shareholding in the company downwards to the nearest number evenly divisible by 20.

After the reverse share split, the number of shares in the company will decrease from 396,023,950 to 19,801,197. At the same time, the reverse share split increases the quotient value of the share from SEK 0.1 to approximately SEK 2.

(b) Resolution to amend the articles of association
In order to enable the reverse share split of the company's shares in accordance with the board of director's proposal under item (a), the board of directors proposes that the AGM resolves to amend § 5 of the articles of association as follows.


Current wording
Proposed wording
§ 5The number of shares in the company shall be not less than 100,000,000 and not more than 400,000,000.
The number of shares in the company shall be not less than 19,800,000 and not more than 79,200,000.

The resolution on a reverse share split according to item (a) requires an amendment of the articles of association in accordance with item (b). The board of directors proposes that the AGM's resolution in accordance with the board of director's proposal under items (a) and (b) shall be adopted as one single resolution.

Resolution on (a) reduction of share capital and (b) amendment of the articles of association (item 17)
In order to adjust the size of the company's share capital to the company's operations, the board of directors proposes that the AGM resolves to reduce the share capital in accordance with item (a) below. In order to implement the reduction of the share capital in accordance with the board of director's proposal (a) and for a general adjustment, the limits of the share capital set forth in the articles of association must be adjusted according to item (b) below.

(a) Resolution to reduce the share capital without retirement of shares
In order to adjust the amount of the share capital to the company's operations, the board of directors proposes that the AGM resolves to reduce the share capital as follows:

  1. The share capital shall be reduced by SEK 38,612,335.15. After the reduction, the share capital amounts to SEK 990,059.85, divided into a total of 19,801,197 shares, each share with a quota value of SEK 0.05.
  2. The amount of the reduction shall be allocated to unrestricted shareholders’ equity.
  3. The reduction shall be made without retirement of shares.

The reduction of the share capital also requires authorization from the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Sw. Bolagsverket) or a court of general jurisdiction. Provided that the required authorization is obtained, the resolution on the reduction, which means that the quota value of the share (subsequent to the reverse share split according to item 16) is reduced from approximately SEK 2 to SEK 0.05, is expected to be implemented in August 2021.

(b) Resolution to amend the articles of association
In order to enable the reduction of the company's share capital in accordance with the board of director's proposal under item (a) and for a general adjustment of the limits of the share capital, the board of directors proposes that the AGM resolves to amend § 4 of the articles of association as follows.


Current wordingProposed wording
§ 4The share capital shall be not less than SEK 10,000,000 and not more than SEK 40,000,000.The share capital shall be not less than SEK 990,000 and not more than SEK 3,960,000.

The resolution to reduce the share capital in accordance with item (a) requires amendment of the articles of association in accordance with item (b). The board of directors proposes that the resolution of the AGM in accordance with the Board's proposal under items (a) and (b) shall be adopted one single resolution.

Resolution on amendment of the articles of association (item 18)
The board of directors proposes that the AGM resolves to change the registered office to Stockholm by amending § 2 of the articles of association as follows


Current wordingProposed wording
§ 2The registered office of the board of directors shall

Resolution on authorisation for the CEO to perform adjustment to the resolutions adopted by the AGM (item 19)

Special majority requirements

The documents will be sent on request to shareholders who provide their postal address. The board and the CEO shall, in the event that a shareholder requests it and the board of directors deems that such may take place without significant detriment to the company or its subsidiaries, provide information during the AGM with regard to circumstances that could influence the appraisal of an item on the agenda as well as circumstances that could influence the appraisal of the company's or a subsidiary's financial position. This obligation to provide information shall also apply to the company's relationship with its subsidiaries, as well as the consolidated accounts.
