The board of directors’ proposals

Item 7 – Resolution to change the articles of association

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to change the articles of association in accordance with the following.

It is proposed to change the articles of association with regard to the limits on share capital, from the current minimum of SEK 5 000 000 and maximum of SEK 20 000 000 to a minimum of SEK 10 000 000 and a maximum of SEK 40 000 000. § 4 of the articles of association shall therefore have the following wording: ”The share capital shall be a minimum of SEK 10 000 000 and a maximum of SEK 40 000 000.”

Furthermore, it is proposed to change the articles of association with regards to the limits on number of shares, from the current minimum of 10 000 000 and maximum of 40 000 000 to a minimum of 20 000 000 and a maximum of 80 000 000. § 5 of the articles of association shall thereby have the following wording: ”The number of shares of the company shall be a minimum of 20 000 000 and a maximum of 80 000 000.”

In order to enable for the company to, in addition to Mölndal, hold general meetings in Stockholm or Gothenburg, the board of directors proposes that provision § 10 of the articles of association shall be changed. The changes of § 10 of the articles of association entail that the heading “Matters at annual general meeting” is changed to “General meetings” and that the following addition shall be made to the current provision § 10 of the articles of association: ”General meetings shall be held in Mölndal, Stockholm or Gothenburg.”

In addition to the changes set out above the board of directors proposes a number of editorial changes, such as adjustments in accordance with the Swedish Companies Act in § 8 and § 9 of the articles of association, as well as an updated reference to that act in § 12 of the articles of association.

Item 8 – Resolution to approve the board of directors’ resolution to issue shares 

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to approve the board of directors’ resolution from 30 November 2018 to increase the Company’s share capital with not more than SEK 4,707,352.954298 by way of a directed issue of not more than 9,414,706 new shares. The resolution shall otherwise be governed by the following terms and conditions. The right to subscribe for the new shares in the issue shall, with deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights, be granted a limited number of institutional investors, that have been identified through a so-called private placement procedure. The reasons for the deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights are that the Company shall be able to, in a timely manner, secure the capital need for the Company’s operations, as well as to broaden the ownership structure of the Company with institutional investors. The subscription price shall be SEK 17 per share. The issue price has been determined through the private placement procedure.

Subscription and payment for the newly issued shares shall be made no later than on 4 December 2018. Subscription shall be made on a separate subscription list. The board of directors shall have the right to extend the subscription and payment periods. The new shares entitle to dividends for the first time on the first record date for dividend following the registration of the issue of new shares. The board of directors, or any other person appointed by the board of directors, shall have the right to make any adjustments or amendments of the above resolutions which may be required in connection with the registration of such resolutions and to take any measures deemed necessary for the execution of the resolutions.

In order for the issue to be executed in full, the general meeting must resolve to amend the articles of association in accordance with the board of directors’ proposal under item 7.

As per the date of this notice the total number of shares and votes outstanding in the Company amounts to 32,960,008. The Company holds no treasury shares.
