Proposals to resolutions
Item 1 – Election of chairman of the general meeting
The board of directors proposes that Mattias Prage, lawyer at Advokatfirman Lindahl, is elected as chairman of the general meeting.
Item 6 – Resolution on reduction of the share capital
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves on a reduction of the Company’s share capital by SEK 5,973,000.35. The reduction amount shall be allocated as non-restricted equity. This means that the share capital will be reduced from SEK 7,167,600.42 to SEK 1,194,600.07. As a result, the nominal value of the Company’s share will be reduced from SEK 0.06 per share to SEK 0.01 per share. The reduction of the share capital shall be carried out without the withdrawal of shares. The reason for the reduction is to obtain a more suitable share capital for the Company and to enable the rights issue in item 7b) below. The resolution in this item 6 is conditional on the general meeting resolving in accordance with the board's proposal in items 7a) and 7b) below.
It is noted an approval of the board’s resolution regarding the rights issue in accordance with item 7b) below implies that the share capital will be increased to the same extent as the reduction of the share capital in this item, which means that no approval from the Swedish Companies Registration Office is required.
Item 7 – Resolution a) to amend the articles of association and b) on the subsequent approval of the board’s resolution regarding the new issue of units
a) The board’s proposal for a resolution to amend the articles of association
In order to enable the new issue of units according to item b) below, the board proposes that the general meeting resolves that the limits of the articles of association for the number of shares are changed from a minimum of 100,000,000 and a maximum of 400,000,000 to a minimum of 600,000,000 and a maximum 2,400,000,000. § 5 of the articles of association are therefore proposed to read as follows:
Ҥ 5 Number of shares
The number of shares shall be not less than 600,000,000 and not more than 2,400,000,000.”
A resolution to amend the articles of association requires that the general meeting also resolves to approve the board's decision to issue units in accordance with item 7b) below and is therefore conditional upon such approval.
b) The subsequent approval of the board’s resolution regarding the new issue of units
On 7 November 2023, the board of directors resolved, subject to approval by the general meeting, on a new issue of not more than 119,460,007 so-called units with preferential rights for existing shareholders according to the conditions below.

(ii) secondly, allocation of units subscribed for unit rights shall be made to those who have subscribed for units without unit rights, and, in the case of oversubscription, pro rata to the number of units subscribed for in the respective request, and insofar allocation cannot be done pro rata, allocation will be done by lots; and
