Proposed resolutions
The Nomination Committee has, in accordance with the principles decided at Polymer Factory’s Annual Meeting 2023, been appointed to Mats Wallnér, Lars Öjefors and Johan Carlmark.
The nomination committee proposes Polymer Factory’s Annual Meeting 2024 to resolve:
Item 9: Determination of the fees payable to the members of the Board of Directors and the auditor
That the compensation to the Board of Directors as a whole should continue to amount to SEK 155,000 to be distributed between them. Compensation is paid in a reduced amount to members of the Board who are employed by the company.
That fees to the auditor are paid in accordance with approved invoices and customary billing standards.
Item 10: Election of members of the Board of Directors and auditor
The nomination committee proposes that the Board of Directors should consist of 4 ordinary members including the chairman. For members of the Board, the nomination committee proposes re-election of Michael Malkoch, Leif Gustafsson and Mats Wallnér, and new election of Anders Hultman. The chairman of the board is decided by members of the new board.
The nomination committee also proposes that the company establish a scientific council with Anders Hult and Eva Malmström.
To re-elect as auditor registered the auditing company PwC, represented by Niclas Bergenmo.
Item 11: Nomination committee
That the Nomination Committee for the 2024 Annual General Meeting shall be appointed no later than six months before the 2024 annual general meeting, where representatives of the three largest shareholders are primarily offered seats. The representative from one of the company's largest owners shall be the chairperson of the nomination committee, unless otherwise determined within the nomination committee. The Nomination Committee's work shall comply with the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance and the rules of procedure established by the General Meeting.
The Board of Directors proposes:
Item 8b: the company’s profits or losses according to the adopted balance sheet
That the Company’s results shall be carried forward in new account and that no dividend shall be paid for the financial year 2023.
Item 12: Resolution on authorization for the Board of Directors to resolve on issues of shares, convertibles and/or warrants
The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to authorize the Board, at one or more occasions, during the time up until the next annual general meeting, with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, to resolve to issue new shares, convertibles and/or warrants. Issues may be made with or without provisions regarding payment in kind or through set-off or other provisions. The total number of shares that may be issued pursuant to the authorization (alternatively be issued through conversion of warrants and/or exercise of convertibles) shall not exceed 5,000,000 shares, which corresponds to an aggregate dilution of approximately 32 per cent calculated on the number of outstanding shares in the company. The purpose of the authorization is to increase the financial flexibility of the Company and the general flexibility of the Board of Directors. To the extent an issue is made with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, the issue should be made on market terms (subject to customary new issue discount, as applicable).
The Board of Directors, the CEO, or the person that the Board appoints, shall have the right to make any adjustments in the decision required for registration. The resolution proposed by the Board of Directors in accordance with item 12 must be approved by shareholders representing not less than two thirds of the votes cast and shares represented at the Annual General Meeting.
