The board of director’s proposed resolutions
Item 6. Approval of the board of directors’ resolution on new share issue of ordinary shares with deviation from the shareholders preferential rights
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to approve the board of directors' resolution from 29 November 2023, subject to the general meeting's subsequent approval, to increase the company's share capital by not more than SEK 104,925.431667 through a new issue of not more than 15,738,815 shares of series B, each with a quota value of approximately SEK 0.006667.
The following terms and conditions shall apply to the issue of shares.
- The subscription price per share shall amount to SEK 27.50. The share premium shall be transferred to the unrestricted premium reserve.
- With deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, the new shares may only be subscribed for by institutional and other qualified investors.
- Subscription for new shares shall be made on a separate subscription list no later than 29 November 2023. Payment for the subscribed shares shall be made no later than on 27 December 2023. The board of directors shall be entitled to extend the subscription period and the time of payment.
- The new shares convey right to dividends for the first time on the first record date set for dividends after the registration of the new shares with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
It was noted that over-subscription cannot occur.
The board of directors has made an overall assessment and carefully considered the possibility of raising capital through a new share issue with preferential rights for the company's shareholders. The board of directors considers that the reasons for deviating from the shareholders' preferential rights are (i) to diversify and strengthen the company's shareholder base with institutional investors in order to enhance the liquidity of the company's shares, (ii) that a rights issue would take longer time to implement which, under current market conditions, would entail a higher exposure to potential market volatility, and (iii) that the implementation of a directed share issue can be done at a lower cost and with less complexity than a rights issue. Considering the above, the board of directors has made the assessment that a directed new issue of shares of series B with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is the most favourable alternative for the company to carry out the capital raising.
As the subscription price in the issue is determined through an accelerated bookbuilding procedure, it is the board of director's assessment that the marketability of the subscription price is ensured.
Either of Peter Strand and Tommy Åstrand shall have the right to make any minor adjustments to the resolutions resolved at the general meeting that may prove necessary in connection with the registration of the new shares with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or Euroclear Sweden AB.
Item 7. Resolution on an authorization for the board of directors to resolve on capital increases
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting authorizes the board of directors to, on one or several occasions, during the period up until the next Annual General Meeting, with or without deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights, resolve on new issues of shares and/or convertible instruments which entails issuance or conversion to, at most, a total number of shares which corresponds to 10 percent of the total number of shares in the company following the registration of the share issue resolutions made by the board of directors on 29 November 2023 have been completed with the Swedish Companies Registration Office. The authorization includes new issues of shares of both series A and B.
The purpose of the authorization and the reason for any deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights is to enable time efficient financing of corporate acquisitions or new and existing investments. New issues of shares or issues of convertible instruments based on this authorization shall, in case of deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights, be made to a market conformant subscription price in accordance with the prevailing market conditions at the time of the issue. Payment for subscribed shares and/or convertible instruments may be made in cash, by contribution in kind or by set-off.
Majority requirements
Resolutions in accordance with items 6 and 7 above require approval of at least two thirds of the shares represented and votes cast at the general meeting.
Number of shares and votes in the company
As per the date of the issue of this notice, the total number of shares in the company amounts to 205,891,235, whereof 55,757,965 shares of series A and 150,133,270 shares of series B, corresponding to a total of 428,923,095 votes. The company does not hold any own shares.
Shareholders’ right to request information
Pursuant to Chapter 7 section 32 of the Swedish Companies Act (Sw. aktiebolagslagen (2005:551)) the board of directors and the CEO are under a duty to, if any shareholder so requests and the board of directors deems that it can be made without material damage to the company, provide information, regarding circumstances which may affect the assessment of a matter on the agenda.
