Item 12: Resolution on directed issue of warrants (incentive program) to the Company and/or Subsidiary for transfer to members of the board of directors within the incentive program

The nomination committee proposes that the annual general meeting resolve on the issue of warrants (incentive program), including approval of transfer of the warrants as set out below. The warrants shall entail the right to subscribe for new shares in the Company. The warrants shall also be subject to the terms and conditions, including the subscription price and the period within which the warrants may be exercised, as presented in the nomination committee's complete proposal.

Background
This proposal on the issue of warrants has been presented as the nomination committee, consisting of Filip Pettersson, Jonas Jendi, Bengt Julander and Carl Rosvall (Wenche Rolfsen, convenor in the nomination committee and the chairman of the board of directors did not participate in any preparations of this proposal) considers it important and in the interests of all shareholders to create involvement for the board of directors in terms of the Company's and the group's development and ensure that these individuals share the goal of generating value-adding growth. It is also important to motivate continued assignments. The nomination committee therefore proposes that the annual general meeting resolve on the issue of warrants as follows below.

Terms for the issue

1. The Company shall issue not more than 700,000 warrants. Each warrant entitle the holder to subscribe for one (1) share in the Company, each with a quotient value of SEK 0.02, and upon full exercise of the warrants the Company's share capital may thus increase by SEK 14,000 (provided that no re-calculation has been made at the time of exercise of the warrants which may affect the increase in share capital as a result of the proposed terms for the warrants).
2. The warrants may, with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, only be subscribed for by the Company or its wholly owned subsidiary InDex Pharmaceuticals AB, org. no. 556704-5140 (the "Subsidiary") (together the "Group"), after which the Company/Subsidiary shall transfer the warrants to members of the Company's board of directors (the "Participants").
3. The Company's/Subsidiary's subscription of the warrants shall be made on a special subscription list within five (5) calendar days from the date of the general meeting that resolves on the issue. The board of directors shall have the right to extend the subscription period.
4. The warrants are issued without consideration (i.e. free of charge) to the Company/Subsidiary. The premium, upon transfer of the warrants, shall correspond to the market value of the warrants calculated by an independent expert using an accepted valuation method (Black & Scholes valuation formula). Thus, for the warrants that the Company/Subsidiary transfers to the Participants, the Participants shall pay a premium corresponding to the market value of the warrants at the respective transfer date.
5. The warrants may be exercised for subscription of new shares during the period from and including 1 May 2023 until and including 31 October 2023. The maturity is thus about three (3) years from the date of issue. The warrants may not be exercised for subscription of new shares during the so called "closed periods" according to the EUs Market Abuse Regulation, or otherwise in violation with applicable rules regarding insider information (including the Company's own guidelines in this regard). Any warrants that have not been exercised for subscription of shares as of 31 October 2023 will expire.
6. Each warrant shall entitle the warrant holder to subscribe for one new share in the Company at a subscription price per share amounting to SEK 20.00.
7. The new shares entitle the holder to dividends as from the record date closest after the new shares have been registered in a securities account.
8. The warrants shall be transferred to the Participants in accordance with what is stated below.
9. For the warrants, the terms and conditions presented in the nomination committee's complete proposal shall apply, including amongst other things customary re-calculation terms.

Guidelines for the Company's/Subsidiary's transfer of warrants
The warrants shall be offered for the acquisition to the persons included in the table below with the stated maximum allocation:

Category Maximum number of Maximum number of
warrants per warrants in each
participant category
Chairman of the board 250,000 250,000
Current members of the board* 125,000 375,000
(3 persons)
Potential new members of the 37,500 75,000
board** (estimated to two
persons)

* Refers to current members of the board (excluding the chairman) as of the day prior to the annual general meeting 2020, under the premise that these members are re-elected at the annual general meeting of 2020.

** Refers to new members of the board that are appointed (as new members) to the board of directors at the annual general meeting of 2020.

Only those persons who are included in the said categories shall be offered the right to acquire warrants. In the event of re-calculation, the Participants in each category shall have the right to acquire the same number of warrants.

Allocation of warrants to Participants outside Sweden shall - where applicable - be dependent on the tax effects, that there are no legal obstacles and that the board of directors considers that such allocation can be made with reasonable administrative and financial resources.

Reasons for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights
The reason for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is to create involvement for the Participants in terms of the Company's and the Group's development and to ensure that these individuals share the goal of generating value-adding growth, and to motivate continued assignments.

The warrants are proposed to be issued to the Company and/or its Subsidiary for subsequent transfer to the Participants of the incentive program.

Dilution, costs etc.
The Company has a total share capital of SEK 1,775,625.5 divided into a total of 88,781,275 shares. Each share entitles to one vote in the Company. There are no outstanding share related incentive programs or instruments in the Company.

When fully exercised the warrants under this proposal will lead to 700,000 new shares being issued in the Company (with reservation for potential re-calculations in accordance with customary terms and conditions for the warrants), resulting in a dilution of approximately 0.78 per cent, as far as the Company's share capital and voting rights/number of shares are concerned. The dilution effect has been calculated as the number of additional shares respectively votes at full exercise in relation to the sum of the current number of shares respectively votes, and the number of additional shares respectively votes at full exercise.

Upon full exercise of the warrants under this proposed incentive program for the board of directors and full exercise of the warrants under to the board of directors' proposed incentive program for the senior executives and key personnel (both incentive programs to be treated at the annual general meeting of 2020) a total of 4,665,000 new shares will be issued in the Company, resulting in a dilution of 4.99 per cent as far as the Company's share capital is concerned, as well as total share/voting rights. The dilution effect has been calculated as the number of additional shares respectively votes at full exercise in both incentive programs in relation to the sum of the current number of shares respectively votes, and the number of additional shares respectively votes at full exercise in both incentive programs.

Due to the fact that the warrants will be acquired at market price in accordance with an established valuation model, no special social security fees are expected to arise for the Group. However, it should be noted that applicable tax procedures in different jurisdictions could be subject to change. The external costs that arise as a result of the incentive program are mainly costs for valuation, advice and for registration and practical management of the program.

The incentive program is expected to have a limited effect on the Company's key performance indicators.

Ongoing costs for administration and other costs are marginal.

Restrictions regarding the disposal and exercise of the warrants
The Participants will not be able to dispose of the warrants unless they have previously been offered to the Company/Subsidiary, and exercising the warrants and thus subscribing for shares will only be possible after specially agreed vesting periods. Such restrictions will be agreed upon, in separate warrant holder's agreements, with the respective Participants in connection with their acquisition of warrants from the Company/Subsidiary. According to the warrant holder's agreements the total amount of warrants that are allotted to each Participant shall be vested in three equal parts as of the date of each annual general meeting in the Company from 2020 to 2023 (i.e. approximately 33 per cent of the total amount of warrants will be vested each year) and subject to the condition of ongoing assignment as a board member in the Group, with the reservation for the terms in the separate warrant agreements which shall be entered into between each Participant and the Company/Subsidiary. For example a member of the board of directors elected at the previous annual general meeting that is not re-elected at the annual general meeting held in 2021, will be allowed to keep the warrants that have been vested during 2020 (i.e. approximately 33 per cent of the maximum allotment) and correspondingly a member of the board that is re-elected at the annual general meeting held in 2021 but not at the annual general meeting held in 2022 will be allowed to keep the warrants that have been vested during 2020 and 2021 (i.e. approximately 66 per cent of the maximum allotment), with reservation for the terms regarding pre-mature termination of service (so-called good and bad leaver terms) and other customary terms for warrant holder's agreements.

Preparation of the proposal
The proposed incentive program has been prepared by the nomination committee in consultation with external advisors and after consultations with certain major shareholders. Wenche Rolfsen, convenor of the nomination committee and chairman of the board of directors in the Company has not participated in the preparations of this proposal.

Miscellaneous
It is proposed that the annual general meeting resolve to adopt the incentive program described above and decide on the issue of warrants on the above terms including approval of the Company's/Subsidiary's transfer of warrants to the Participants.

The board of directors, or a person appointed by the board of directors shall have the right to make the minor adjustments required to register the resolution, and the board of directors shall have the right to make the minor adjustments required in the incentive program in order to conform with applicable foreign laws and regulations.

Proposed resolutions presented by the board of directors
Item 7b): Resolution in respect of allocation of the company's profits or losses
The board of directors proposes that the Company's losses are allocated in accordance with the board of directors proposal in the annual report, page 29. No dividend will be paid to the shareholders for the financial year 2019.

Item 11: Resolution on directed issue of warrants (incentive program) to the Company and/or Subsidiary for transfer to senior executives and other key persons within the incentive program
The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolve on the directed issue of warrants (incentive program) including approval of transfer of warrants on the terms and conditions set out below. The warrants shall entail the right to subscribe for new shares in the Company. The warrants also apply to the terms and conditions, including the subscription price and the period within which the warrants may be exercised, as presented in the board of director's complete proposal.

Background
This proposal on the issue of warrants has been presented as the board of directors considers it important and in the interests of all shareholders to create involvement for key individuals and senior executives, including employees as well as consultants, in terms of the Company's and the group's development and ensure that these individuals share the goal of generating value-adding growth. It is also important to motivate continued employment and assignments. The board therefore proposes that the annual general meeting resolve on the issue of warrants as follows below.

Terms for the issue

1. The Company shall issue not more than 3,965,000 warrants. Each warrant entitle the holder to subscribe for one (1) share in the Company, each with a quotient value of SEK 0.02, and upon full exercise of the warrants the Company's share capital may thus increase by SEK 79,300 (provided that no re-calculation has been made at the time of exercise of the warrants which may affect the increase in share capital as a result of the proposed terms for the warrants).
2. The warrants may, with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, only be subscribed for by the Company or its subsidiary InDex Pharmaceuticals AB, org. no. 556704-5140 (the "Subsidiary") (together the "Group"), after which the Company/Subsidiary shall transfer the warrants to senior executives and key persons (including employees and consultants) of the Group (the "Participants").
3. The Company's/Subsidiary's subscription of the warrants shall be made on a special subscription list within five (5) calendar days from the date of the general meeting that resolves on the issue. The board of directors shall have the right to extend the subscription period.
4. The warrants are issued without consideration (i.e. free of charge) to the Company/Subsidiary. The premium, upon transfer of the warrants, shall correspond to the market value of the warrants calculated by an independent expert using an accepted valuation method (Black & Scholes valuation formula). Thus, for the warrants that the Company/Subsidiary transfers to the Participants, the Participants shall pay a premium corresponding to the market value of the warrants at the respective transfer date.
5. The warrants may be exercised for subscription of new shares during the period from and including 1 May 2023 until and including 31 October 2023. The maturity is thus about three (3) years from the date of issue. The warrants may not be exercised for subscription of new shares during the so called "closed periods" according to the EUs Market Abuse Regulation, or otherwise in violation with applicable rules regarding insider information (including the Company's own guidelines in this regard). Any warrants that have not been exercised for subscription of shares as of 31 October 2023 will expire.
6. Each warrant shall entitle the warrant holder to subscribe for one new share in the Company at a subscription price per share amounting to SEK 20.00.
7. The new shares entitle the holder to dividends as from the record date closest after the new shares have been registered in a securities account.
8. The warrants shall be transferred to the Participants in accordance with instructions issued by the board of directors in accordance with the guidelines stated below. The Participants right to warrants shall be differentiated/allocated with regard to position, responsibilities and performance in the Group.
9. For the warrants, the terms and conditions presented in the board of director's complete proposal shall apply, including amongst other things customary re-calculation terms.

Guidelines for the Company's/Subsidiary's transfer of warrants
The warrants shall be offered for the acquisition to the persons included in the table below with the stated maximum allocation:

Category Maximum number of Maximum number of
warrants per warrants in each
participant category
CEO 1,000,000 1,000,000
Senior executives 400,000 1,400,000
(approximately 4
persons)
Persons that does not 175,000 1,565,000
belong to any of the
above categories
(approximately 15
persons)

Only those persons who are included in the said categories shall be offered the right to acquire warrants. The board of directors shall decide which persons that shall be deemed to be included in each category and which persons that shall receive warrants. In the event of re-calculation, the Participants in each category shall have the right to acquire the same number of warrants. Members of the board of directors are not allowed to participate.

Allocation of warrants to Participants outside Sweden shall - where applicable - be dependent on the tax effects, that there are no legal obstacles and that the board considers that such allocation can be made with reasonable administrative and financial resources.

Reasons for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights
The reason for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is to create involvement for the Participants in terms of the Company's and the Group's development and to ensure that these individuals share the goal of generating value-adding growth, and to motivate continued employment and assignments.

The warrants are proposed to be issued to the Company and/or its subsidiaries for transfer to Participants in the incentive programme.

Dilution, costs etc.
The Company has a total share capital of SEK 1,775,625.5 divided into a total of 88,781,275 shares. Each share entitles to one vote in the Company. There are no outstanding share related incentive programs or instruments in the Company.

When fully exercised the warrants under this proposal will lead to 3,965,000 new shares being issued in the Company (with reservation for potential re-calculations in accordance with customary terms and conditions for the warrants), resulting in a dilution of approximately 4.28 per cent as far as the Company's share capital and voting rights/number of shares are concerned. The dilution effect has been calculated as the number of additional shares respectively votes at full exercise in relation to the sum of the current number of shares respectively votes, and the number of additional shares respectively votes at full exercise.

Upon full exercise of the warrants under this proposed incentive program for senior executives and key personnel and full exercise of the warrants under to the nomination committee's proposed incentive program for the board of directors (both incentive programs to be treated at the annual general meeting of 2020) a total of 4,665,000 new shares will be issued in the Company, resulting in a dilution of 4.99 per cent as far as the Company's share capital is concerned, as well as total share/voting rights. The dilution effect has been calculated as the number of additional shares respectively votes at full exercise in both incentive programs in relation to the sum of the current number of shares respectively votes, and the number of additional shares respectively votes at full exercise in both incentive programs.

Due to the fact that the warrants will be acquired at market price in accordance with an established valuation model, no special social security fees are expected to arise for the Group. However, it should be noted that applicable tax procedures in different jurisdictions could be subject to change. The external costs that arise as a result of the incentive program are mainly costs for valuation, advice and for registration and practical management of the program.

The incentive program is expected to have a limited effect on the Company's key performance indicators.

Ongoing costs for administration and other costs are marginal.

Restrictions regarding disposal and exercise of the warrants
The Participants will not be able to dispose of the warrants unless they have previously been offered to the Company/Subsidiary, and exercising the warrants and thus subscribing for shares will only be possible after specially agreed vesting periods. Such restrictions will be agreed upon, in separate warrant holder's agreements, with the respective Participants in connection with their acquisition of warrants from the Company/Subsidiary. According to the warrant holder's agreements the total amount of warrants that are allotted to each Participant shall be vested in three equal parts as of the date of each annual general meeting in the Company from 2020 to 2023 (i.e. approximately 33 per cent of the total number of warrants will be vested each year) and conditional on continued employment/assignments in the Group, with reservation for the terms in the separate warrant agreements that shall be entered into between each Participant and the Company/Subsidiary. For example a senior executive/ key person that was employed or hired as consultant at the previous annual general meeting that is still employed or hired as consultant at the date of the annual general meeting held in 2021 will be allowed to keep his/hers warrants that have been vested during 2020 (i.e. approximately 33 per cent of his/hers maximum allotment) and correspondently a senior executive or key person that is still employed or hired as consultant at the date of the annual general meeting held in 2022 will be allowed to keep his/hers vested warrants for 2020 and 2021 (i.e. approximately 66 per cent of his/hers maximum allotment), with reservation for the terms regarding pre-mature termination of service (so called good and bad leaver terms) and other customary terms for warrant holder's agreements.

Preparation of the proposal
The proposed incentive program has been prepared by the board of directors in consultation with external advisors and after consultations with certain major shareholders. The final proposal has been submitted by the board of directors.

Miscellaneous
It is proposed that the annual general meeting resolve to adopt the incentive program described above and decide on the issue of warrants on the above terms including approval of the Company's/Subsidiary's transfer of warrants to the Participants.

The board of directors, or a person appointed by the board of directors, shall have the right to make the minor adjustments required to register the resolution, and the board of directors shall have the right to make the minor adjustments required in the incentive program in order to be conformal with applicable foreign laws and regulations.

Majority requirements
The proposed implementation of an incentive programs for senior executives and key persons and members of the board of directors by way of a directed issues of warrants, and the approval of transfer of warrants to the Participants, is governed by the provisions in Chapter 16 of the Swedish Companies Act (Sw. Aktiebolagslagen (2005:551)), and a valid resolution regarding item 11 and 12 above, therefore requires that the proposals is supported by shareholders representing at least nine-tenths (9/10) of the votes cast as well as of all shares represented at the meeting.
