Furthermore, the Nomination Committee shall consist of the chairperson of the Board of Directors, who shall also be the convener.

Proposed resolutions by the Board of Directors

9.(b) Resolution on allocation of the Company's profit or loss according to the adopted balance sheet

The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves that the Company's result is allocated according to the Board of Directors' proposal in the annual report, i.e., available funds are balanced in the new account.

 

16. Resolution regarding directed issue of warrants to executive

The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to issue warrants of series 2025/2028:1 to an executive of the Company, as follows.

 

The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting resolves on a directed issue of a maximum of 300,000 warrants of series 2025/2028:1 leading to an increase of the share capital upon full exercise with a maximum of SEK 30,000.

 

The following conditions shall otherwise apply to the resolution.

The right to subscribe for the warrants shall, with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, belong to an executive of the Company, according to the following:

 

Name

Maximum number of warrants per person

Tove Bergenholt

(Head of IR & Communication)

300,000

 

Warrants that are not subscribed for may not be subscribed for by anyone else. The right to subscribe for warrants in the issue is conditional on the subscriber has not resigned or been dismissed at the time of subscription.

 

The reasons for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights are to stimulate shareholding in the Company through an incentive program, whereby current executive of the Company can take part in and work for a positive value development of the share in the Company during the period covered by the proposed program, and that the Company shall be able to retain competent and committed employees, which is deemed to be beneficial to the Company and its shareholders.

 

The warrants of series 2025/2028:1 shall be issued free of charge.

 

Subscription of the warrants shall be made on a subscription list which shall be kept available to the subscriber. Subscription of the warrants of series 2025/2028:1 shall take place within two weeks from the date of the general meeting. The Board of Directors has the right to extend the subscription period.

 

A condition for the allotment of warrants of series 2025/2028:1 is that the subscriber, through an agreement with the Company, undertake to sell back subscribed warrants to the Company if the subscriber's involvement in the Company ceases within three years of the allotment. The number of warrants that the participant will be obliged to sell back to the Company will gradually decrease by 8.25 percent at the end of each three-month period, provided that the subscriber is still employed by the Company at the end of each three-month period, and subject to special conditions according to which the subscriber may, under certain circumstances, be obliged to sell back all held warrants to the Company. All warrants, regardless of whether they are vested or note, shall be able to be exercised for subscription of shares by the subscriber in situation where the subscription period for the warrants is brought forward according to the complete terms and conditions of the warrants.

 

Each warrant of series 2025/2028:1 entitles the holder to subscribe for one new share of series B in the Company during the period from and including 4 September 2028 up to and including 18 September 2025.

 

The subscription price per share of series B shall amount to SEK 9.00. The subscription price shall never be less than the quota value of the share. The part of the subscription price that exceeds the quota value of the shares shall be transferred to the unrestricted share premium reserve.

 

The shares added as a result of subscription with the support of warrants entitle to dividends for the first time on the record date for dividends that occurs following the registration of the new shares with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and the shares have been entered in the share register at Euroclear Sweden AB.

 

Other terms and conditions for the warrants of series 2025/2028:1 is set out in the complete terms and conditions of the warrants. The terms and conditions contain, among other things, customary conversion principles.

 

Other information

Dilution

Upon full subscription with the support of all warrants of series 2025/2028:1, the number of shares and votes in the Company will increase by 300,000 (subject to recalculation according to the terms and conditions of the warrants of series 2025/2028:1), which corresponds to a dilution of approximately 0.11 percent of the number of shares and approximately 0.10 percent of the votes in the Company. The dilution effect has been calculated as the number of additional shares and votes, respectively, in relation to the number of existing and additional shares and votes, respectively.

 

Impact on key figures and costs for the Company, etc.

The Company's earnings per share are not affected by the issue of the warrants as the present value of the exercise price of the warrants will exceed the current market value of the share at the time of subscription.

 

The subscriber will subscribe for the warrants free of charge. However, there will be a benefit for the subscriber corresponding to the market value of the warrants. For tax purposes, the benefit will be considered as salary and the Company has an obligation to pay social security contributions of 31.42 percent on the benefit provided. This means that the subscription cost of the warrants for the subscriber will amount to the tax effect of the benefit.

 

Optionspartner AB, as an independent valuation institute, has made an indicative valuation of the warrants using the Black & Scholes valuation model. Based on an assumed market value of the underlying share of SEK 8.04 upon allotment of the warrants, a subscription price of SEK 9.00, a term of approximately three (3) years, the market value of the warrants has been calculated to SEK 2.82 per warrant. The right of disposal restrictions has been taken into account in the valuation. The preliminary valuation is based on assumptions. Upon subscription of the warrants, the market value will be determined based on updated assumptions and then known parameters.

 

Based on the above-mentioned valuation and the assumptions on which it is based, and the assumption that all warrants are subscribed for, the warrant program is estimated to entail a net cost for the Company of approximately SEK 265 813, which relates to social security contributions. Any payroll tax incurred due to the subsidy shall be paid by subscriber. The warrant program will otherwise entail certain limited costs in the form of external consultancy fees and administration regarding the warrant program.

 

Preparation of the matter

The principles of the option program have been prepared by the Company's Board of Directors. No person who may be covered by the program has thus participated in the formulation of the terms and conditions.

In this context, the Board of Directors of the Company proposes that the general meeting approves that the Company enters into an addendum agreement (the "Addendum Agreement") to the existing consultancy agreement with Corporate Culture ApS AB ("Corporate Culture"), a company wholly owned by Jeppe Øvlesen.

 

Explanation of the Addendum Agreement

Subject to the approval of the general meeting, the Board of Directors propose to enter into the Addendum Agreement with Corporate Culture. The Addendum Agreement will regulate that Corporate Culture, through its in-depth consulting work within business development and M&A, shall receive a performance-based remuneration essentially based on an increase in the Company's market capitalization up to a maximum market cap of SEK 15 billion. Upon fulfilment of the performance-based value thresholds, Corporate Culture will be able to receive remuneration in excess of the threshold amount for the provisions of Chapter 16 a of the Swedish Companies Act to apply. A more detailed description of the commercial terms of the Addendum Agreement will be available at the Company's office at Cereno Scientific AB, Förändringens gata 10, SE-431 53 Mölndal, Sweden, and on its website, www.censeroscientific.se, no later than two weeks prior to the general meeting.

 

The related party transaction

Given that Corporate Culture is a company controlled by Jeppe Øvlesen, who is also a director of the Company, Corporate Culture is deemed to be a related party to the Company pursuant to Chapter 16 a Section 3 of the Swedish Companies Act. Therefore, the transaction/agreement needs, given its maximum consideration, to be submitted to the general meeting for approval pursuant to Chapter 16 a of the Swedish Companies Act.

 

Corporate Culture's activities mainly consist of operational and strategic advice in connection with business development activities, including but not limited to due diligence processes and presentations and negotiations of commercial agreements with third parties. In addition, advice is offered in connection with the financing of companies, including introductions to relevant investors and investment banks.

 

The Board of Directors is of the opinion that the commercial terms of the proposed Addendum Agreement are market-based and ultimately in favor of both the Company and its shareholders.

 

Jeppe Øvlesen has not participated in the Board of Directors' processing and decisions in matters relating to the current Addendum Agreement.

 

Resolutions in accordance with the above require the support of shareholders representing more than half of the votes. Shares and votes held directly or indirectly by Jeppe Øvlesen shall not be taken into account.

 

19. Resolution regarding authorization for the Board of Directors to issue shares and/or warrants and/or convertibles

The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorizes the Board of Directors to resolve, on one or several occasions, on issue of shares and/or warrants and/or convertibles during the time until the next Annual General Meeting for payment in cash and/or with terms regarding set-off or issue in kind or otherwise with terms and thereby deviate from the preferential right of the shareholders.

 

When exercising the authorization, the subscription price and other conditions shall be market-based, taking into account the market-based issue discount where applicable.

 

The number of shares that could be issued, or the number of shares that could be subscribed for through warrants, or the number of shares that convertibles could be converted into shall amount to a total that can be accommodated within the limits of the Articles of Association for the number of shares in case of full subscription, full conversion, or full exercise of warrants.

 

The purpose of the authorization and the reason to deviate from the preferential right of the shareholders is that issues shall be possible for financing the Company's business, commercialization and development of the Company's products and/or acquisition of businesses, companies, or parts of companies and/or enable a broadening of the owner base of the Company.

 

For resolution according to the above, support by shareholders representing at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the votes represented at the general meeting is required.

 

19. Resolution regarding adjustment authorization

The Board of Directors, the CEO or the person appointed by the Board of Directors, shall be authorized to make such minor amendments of the resolution by the Annual General Meeting that may prove necessary in connection with registration of the resolutions.

 

Proposed resolutions by shareholder

The following proposal is submitted by a shareholder group consisting of, among other, the shareholder Andreas Eljegård (the "Shareholders"), who on the date of the notice holds more than 30 percent of the number of shares and votes, respectively, in the Company.

 

17. Resolution regarding a directed issue of warrants to a director

The Shareholders proposes that the general meeting resolves to issue warrants of series 2025/2028:2 to a director of the Company, in accordance with the following.

 

The Shareholders proposes that the general meeting resolves on a directed issue of maximum 1,250,000 warrants of series 2025/2028:2 leading to an increase of the share capital upon full exercise with not more than SEK 125,000.

 

The following conditions shall otherwise apply to the resolution.

 

The right to subscribe for the warrants shall, with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, belong to a director of the Company, according to the following:

 

Name

Maximum number of warrants per person

Moi Brajanovic

1,250,000

 

Warrants that are not subscribed for may not be subscribed for by anyone else. The right to subscribe for warrants in the issue is conditional on the subscriber holding the position of director of the Company at the time of subscription.

 

The reasons for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights are to stimulate shareholding in the Company through an incentive program, whereby the proposed director can take part in and work for a positive value development of the share in the Company during the period covered by the proposed program, which is deemed to be beneficial to the Company and its shareholders.

 

The warrants of series 2025/2028:2 shall be issued free of charge.

 

Subscription of the warrants shall be made on a subscription list which shall be kept available to the subscriber. Subscription of the warrants of series 2025/2028:2 shall take place within two weeks from the date of the general meeting. The Board of Directors has the right to extend the subscription period.

 

A condition for the allotment of warrants of series 2025/2028:2 is that the subscriber, through an agreement with the Company, undertake to sell back subscribed warrants to the Company if the subscriber's actively leave his engagement in the Company or do not stand for re-election during a period of three years from the allotment. The number of warrants that the participant will be obliged to sell back to the Company will gradually decrease by 8.25 percent at the end of each three-month period, provided that the subscriber still holds his position as director of the Company at the end of each three-month period, and subject to special conditions according to which the subscriber may, under certain circumstances, be obliged to sell back all held warrants to the Company. All warrants, regardless of whether they are vested or note, shall be able to be exercised for subscription of shares by the subscriber in situation where the subscription period for the warrants is brought forward according to the complete terms and conditions of the warrants.

 

Each warrant of series 2025/2028:2 entitles the holder to subscribe for one new share of series B in the Company during the period from and including 4 September 2028 up to and including 18 September 2028.

 

The subscription price per share of series B shall amount to SEK 9.00. The subscription price shall never be less than the quota value of the share. The part of the subscription price that exceeds the quota value of the shares shall be transferred to the unrestricted share premium reserve.

 

The shares added as a result of subscription with the support of warrants entitle to dividends for the first time on the record date for dividends that occurs following the registration of the new shares with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and the shares have been entered in the share register at Euroclear Sweden AB.

 

Other terms and conditions for the warrants of series 2025/2028:2 is set out in the complete terms and conditions of the warrants. The terms and conditions contain, among other things, customary conversion principles.

 

Other information

Dilution

Upon full subscription with the support of all warrants of series 2025/2028:2, the number of shares and votes in the Company will increase by 1,250,000 (subject to recalculation according to the terms and conditions of the warrants of series 2025/2028:2), which corresponds to a dilution of approximately 0.44 percent of the number of shares and approximately 0.43 percent of the votes in the Company. The dilution effect has been calculated as the number of additional shares and votes, respectively, in relation to the number of existing and additional shares and votes, respectively.

 

Impact on key figures and costs for the Company, etc.

The Company's earnings per share are not affected by the issue of the warrants as the present value of the exercise price of the warrants will exceed the current market value of the share at the time of subscription.

 

The subscriber will subscribe for the warrants free of charge. However, there will be a benefit for the subscriber corresponding to the market value of the warrants. For tax purposes, the benefit will be considered as salary and the Company has an obligation to pay social security contributions of 31.42 percent on the benefit provided. This means that the subscription cost of the warrants for the subscriber will amount to the tax effect of the benefit.

 

Optionspartner AB, as an independent valuation institute, has made an indicative valuation of the warrants using the Black & Scholes valuation model. Based on an assumed market value of the underlying share of SEK 8.04 upon allotment of the warrants, a subscription price of SEK 9.00, a term of approximately three (3) years, the market value of the warrants has been calculated to SEK 2.82 per warrant. The right of disposal restrictions has been taken into account in the valuation. The preliminary valuation is based on assumptions. Upon subscription of the warrants, the market value will be determined based on updated assumptions and then known parameters.

 

Based on the above-mentioned valuation and the assumptions on which it is based, and the assumption that all warrants are subscribed for, the warrant program is estimated to entail a net cost for the Company of approximately SEK 1,107,555, which relates to social security contributions. Any payroll tax incurred due to the subsidy shall be paid by subscriber. The warrant program will otherwise entail certain limited costs in the form of external consultancy fees and administration regarding the warrant program.

 

Preparation of the matter

The principles of the option program have been prepared by the Shareholders, who then instructed the Board of Directors to include this proposal in the notice. No one who may be covered by the program has participated in the formulation of the terms and conditions.

About Cereno Scientific AB

Cereno Scientific is pioneering treatments to enhance and extend life. Our innovative pipeline offers disease-modifying drug candidates to empower people suffering from rare cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases to live life to the full.

Lead candidate CS1 is an HDACi that works through epigenetic modulation, being developed as an effective and disease modifying treatment with a favorable safety and tolerability profile for rare disease Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH). A Phase IIa trial evaluating CS1's safety, tolerability, and exploratory efficacy in patients with PAH demonstrated that CS1 has a favorable safety profile, is well-tolerated and showed a positive impact on exploratory clinical efficacy parameters. An Expanded Access Program enables patients that have completed the Phase IIa trial to gain access to CS1. CS014, in Phase I development, is a new chemical entity with disease-modifying potential. CS014 is a HDAC inhibitor with a multimodal mechanism of action as an epigenetic modulator having the potential to address the underlying pathophysiology of rare cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases with high unmet needs such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Cereno Scientific is also pursuing a preclinical program with CS585, an oral, highly potent and selective prostacyclin (IP) receptor agonist that has demonstrated the potential to significantly improve disease mechanisms relevant to cardiovascular diseases. While CS585 has not yet been assigned a specific indication for clinical development, preclinical data indicates that it could potentially be used in indications like Thrombosis prevention without increased risk of bleeding and Pulmonary Hypertension.

The Company is headquartered in GoCo Health Innovation City, in Gothenburg, Sweden, and has a US subsidiary; Cereno Scientific Inc. based in Kendall Square, Boston, Massachusetts, US. Cereno Scientific is listed on the Nasdaq First North (CRNO B). The Certified Adviser is Carnegie Investment Bank AB, certifiedadviser@carnegie.se.
