Proposed resolutions

Item 2 – Election of Chairman of the meeting
The Board of Directors proposes that Johan Wigh, or the person appointed by the Board of Directors in the event of his impediment, be elected Chairman of the general meeting.

Item 7 – Resolution on approval of the Board of Directors’ resolution on new issue of class B shares
The Board of Directors proposes that the meeting resolves to approve the Board of Directors’ resolution on 11 March 2024 on a new issue of no more than 18,319,276 class B shares, entailing an increase of the share capital of no more than SEK 1,465,542.08, in accordance with the following.

1. The right to subscribe for the shares shall, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, be given to ABB Switzerland Ltd (“ABB”) (no more than 13,500,000 shares), Stiftelsen Industrifonden (no more than 2,409,638 shares) and SMA Mineral AB (no more than 2,409,638 shares). The reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights is that the Board of Directors of the company, following an overall assessment and thorough consideration considers that it is currently for several reasons more advantageous for the company and its shareholders to raise capital through a directed share issue and that it is objectively in the interest of both the company and its shareholders to carry out the directed share Issue. Through the directed share issue, the company’s shareholder base is diversified and strengthened by adding a financially strong and strategically important shareholder by participation from ABB, which participates in the directed share issue as part of the deepened cooperation that has been entered into with the company on 11 March 2024 through a cooperation agreement (the “Cooperation Agreement”). The Board of Directors of the company assesses that the directed share issue and the cooperation agreement together entail several commercial and strategic advantages for the company. The reason for directing the directed share issue also to certain existing shareholders is that the shareholders, in connection with expressing their support for the Cooperation Agreement and ABB's participation in the directed share issue, have declared themselves willing to, on the same terms as ABB, invest the additional amount that the company's Board of Directors deems necessary for the total issue proceeds in the directed share issue to ensure the purpose of the directed share Issue, including implementation of the cooperation under the Cooperation Agreement. In addition, a rights issue is assessed to (i) be more time-consuming, which could decrease the company’s financial flexibility and entail an exposure to potential negative price developments during the process, especially taking into account the prevailing volatile market conditions, (ii) entail significantly higher costs for the company attributable to, inter alia, procurement of an underwriter consortium, and (iii) likely would have had to been carried out at a lower subscription price given the discount levels in rights issues completed on the market in recent time, which, taken together,  would have been to the detriment of the company’s shareholders. In the current volatile market – which could result in that the conditions for raising capital could change quickly – the Board of Directors considers that it is advantageous to be able to obtain capital on terms favorable to the company in a swift manner and thereby strengthen the company’s financial position for continued development and marketing of the company’s technology for electrification of high temperature industrial processes. Taking the above into consideration, the Board of Directors' overall assessment is that the reasons for carrying out the directed share issue outweigh the reasons that motivate the main rule that share issues are to be made with preferential rights for existing shareholders, and that directed share issue is in the interest of the company and all shareholders.
2. The subscription price is SEK 2.075 per share. The subscription price has been determined through negotiations with ABB on arm’s length and corresponds to a discount of approximately ten percent in relation to the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the company’s class B shares on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market for a period of ten trading days up to and including 8 March 2024. The subscription price corresponds to a discount of approximately four percent in relation to the closing price on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market on 8 March 2024. The Board of Directors therefore makes the assessment that the subscription price has been determined in such a way that market fairness has been ensured and that it reflects current market conditions and demand. The part of the subscription price that exceeds the quotient value shall be added to the non-restricted share premium reserve.
3. The shares shall be subscribed for on a separate subscription list no later than 2 April 2024. The Board of Directors shall be entitled to extend the subscription period.
4. Payment for subscribed shares shall be made in cash no later than 2 April 2024. The Board of Directors shall be entitled to extend the payment period.
5. The new shares entitle to dividends for the first time on the first record date for dividends that occurs after the shares have been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and entered in the share register maintained by Euroclear Sweden.

The Board of Directors, or the person appointed by the Board of Directors, shall have the right to make the minor adjustments to the above resolutions that may prove necessary in connection with registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB.

Documentation pursuant to Chapter 13, Section 6 have been prepared.
