PROPOSAL FOR RESOLUTIONS
Item 7 - Resolution on an issue of shares with preferential right for existing shareholders
As communicated by the Company via press release on Thursday 30 June 2022, the Board of Directors proposes that the Extraordinary General Meeting resolves on a fully guaranteed rights issue of approximately 202,680,423 shares with preferential rights for existing shareholders, subject to the terms below.
- The Company’s share capital may be increased by a maximum of approximately SEK 10,667,390.97 through the issue of no more than 202,680,423 shares.
- Shareholders who are registered in the Company’s share register maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB on the record date, 6 September 2022, will receive a subscription right for participation in the issue.
- The right to subscribe for new shares shall be granted with preferential rights to those who are registered shareholders in the Company on the record date for the issue, whereby the holding of one (1) share entitles the holder to one (1) subscription right. One (1) subscription right shall entitle the holder to subscribe for nine (9) shares in the Company.
- If not all shares have been subscribed for with subscription rights, the Board of Directors shall, within the maximum amount of the new issue, decide on the allocation in accordance with the allocation principles below:
-
- Firstly, allotment shall be made to those who have subscribed for shares with subscription rights and who wish to subscribe for additional shares, (whether or not they were shareholders on the record date), pro rata to their subscription with subscription rights, and, to the extent that this cannot be done, by drawing lots;
-
- Secondly, allotment shall be made to others who have expressed an interest in subscribing for shares without the benefit of subscription rights (and who are not covered by paragraph (a) above), pro rata to their expressed interest, and, to the extent that this cannot be done, by drawing lots;
-
- Lastly, to those who have provided underwriting guarantees in respect of the subscription of shares, pro rata to the guarantees provided by them.
- Subscription of shares shall take place during the period from, and including, 8 September 2022 to, and including, 22 September 2022. The Board of Directors shall be entitled to extend the subscription period.
- The subscription price shall be SEK 0.50 per share. The excess price shall be added to the free share premium fund.
- Payment of shares shall be made in cash. Payment of shares subscribed for with pre-emptive rights shall be made at the same time as the subscription takes place during the period from, and including 8 September 2022, to, and including, 22 September 2022. Payment of shares subscribed for without pre-emptive rights shall be made no later than three (3) banking days after the allotment notice has been sent to the subscriber. The Board of Directors has the right to extend the payment period.
- The new shares entitle the holder to dividend as from the date on which the shares are entered in the share register.
- The expected date for publication of the prospectus relating to the rights issue is 6 September 2022. The Board of Directors is entitled to adjust the record date and the subscription period in the rights issue to the extent this is required due to the SFSA’s (Finansinspektionens) processing times for the prospectus matter.
The resolution to approve on a rights issue with preferential rights for the Company’s existing shareholders under this proposal is conditional on the Extraordinary General Meeting also approving the Board of Directors’ resolution to amend the articles of association, as specified in Item 8 below.
