Each ordinary member of the board of directors has the right to acquire a maximum of 786,500 warrants of series 2023/2024 and 786,500 warrants of series 2023/2026 each and the chairman of the board has the right to acquire a maximum of 1,573,000 warrants of series 2023/2024 and 1,573,000 warrants of series 2023/2026.
The transfer of warrants of series 2023/2024 shall take place on June 30, 2024 and the transfer of warrants of series 2023/2026 shall take place on June 30, 2026. The transfer shall only be made to persons who, at the time of the transfer, are still fulfilling their directorship for the Company.
Allocation requires that the acquisition of warrants can legally take place and that, in the opinion of the board of directors, it can be made to reasonable administrative and financial efforts.
2. Price and payment

- More information about the warrant program
1. Dilution
Upon full subscription with the support of all warrants, 7,865,000 new shares may be issued, which corresponds to a dilution of approximately 8.25 percent of the total number of shares and votes in the Company. In the event that the rights issue announced by the Company on May 16, 2023, is fully subscribed, the dilution will instead correspond to approximately 2,99 percent. However, this is subject to the recalculation of the number of shares that each warrant entitles to subscription for, which may occur as a result of certain issues and more.
2. Costs for the Company, motives etc.
The Company’s costs for the program are, in addition to costs for preparation and administration of the incentive program, limited to social security charges in Sweden for the participant with tax domicile in Sweden. Assuming an increase of the Company’s share price by 100 percent during the term of the program, these costs would preliminary not exceed approximately SEK 336,100.
The other participants in the program are, for tax purposes, residents outside of Sweden. According to foreign tax law, this means that the program does not give rise to any costs for the Company as the participants themselves are responsible for taxation. Against this background, there is no reason for the Company to hedge the warrant program in this regard.
It is considered justified that the term of the warrants of series 2023/2024 is less than three years since the incentive program is deemed necessary for the Company to be able to provide fair consideration without affecting the liquidity to an excessive extent, and thereby attract and retain competent board members.
Therefore, it is considered that the subscription price and the maturity of the warrants, as well as the principles for allocation of warrants to the board members, may be considered reasonable in light of market practice and the Company's need to be able to stimulate the participants' work effort through an offer to participate in the warrant program.
3. Other share-based incentive programs
The Company currently has no other share-based incentive programs.
Warrant programs of series 2022/2023 and 2022/2025 to the board of directors respectively of series 2022/2023 and 2022/2025 to senior executives
At the annual general meeting of the Company on 28 June 2022, it was resolved to establish two incentive programs in the form of warrant program intended for certain board members, two incentive programs in the form of Warrant program intended for senior executives. The terms of the programs for the board of directors respectively the senior executives are essentially the same. For the board, program 2022/2023 could comprise a maximum of 1,250,000 warrants and program 2022/2025 could comprise a maximum of 1,000,000 warrants. For senior executives, program 2022/2023 could comprise a maximum of 750,000 warrants and program 2022/2025 could comprise a maximum of 1,350,000 warrants. Thus, a total of 2,000,000 warrants were issued in 2022/2023 and 2,350,000 warrants in 2022/2025, all of which were subscribed for by the Company for subsequent transfer to participants in the incentive programs.
Regarding warrants 2022/2023, transfer of warrants shall take place on June 30, 2023 and transfer of warrants 2022/2025 shall take place on June 30, 2024.

Each warrant 2022/2023 entails a right to subscribe for one share in the Company at a subscription price of SEK 1.38 during the period 1 July – 31 December 2023 and each
warrant 2022/2025 entails a right to subscribe for one share in the Company at a subscription price of SEK 1.38 during the period 1 July 2024 – 1 July 2025.
Upon full subscription with the support of all warrants intended for the board of directors, 2,250,000 new
shares are issued, corresponding to a dilution of approximately 2.36 percent of the total number of shares and votes in the Company. Upon full subscription with the support of all warrants intended for senior executives, 2,100,000 new shares may be issued, corresponding to a dilution of approximately 2.20 percent of the total number of shares and votes in the Company.
The board of directors intends to cancel all warrants related to these warrant programs.
4. Promotion of the Company’s long-term value creation
In order for the program to have an economic value for the participants, it requires that the share price exceeds the subscription price during the period when the warrants can be exercised. The Company believes that the share price is a good indication that the participants have contributed to long-term value creation for the Company.
