RESOLUTIONS PROPOSED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Item 7 b). Resolution regarding allocation of the Company’s result according to the adopted balance sheet

The board of directors proposes that no dividend is distributed for the financial year 2022.

Item 11. Resolution regarding authorization for the board of directors to decide on new issue and issue of warrants and/or convertibles

The board of directors proposes that the AGM resolves to authorize the board of directors to resolve, for the period until the end of the next annual general meeting, at one or more occasions and with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, to issue new shares, warrants and/or convertible debentures for cash payment and/or with provision of non-cash consideration or set-off or otherwise.

In the event of a resolution to issue new shares, warrants and/or convertible debentures, without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights the maximum number of shares, or warrants or convertible debentures that entitle subscription of a number of shares, that may be issued shall correspond to the number of shares that is within the Company's maximum limit for the number of shares according to the articles of association in force from time to time. In the event of a resolution with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, the number of shares, or warrants or convertible debentures that entitle subscription of a number of shares, that may be issued shall not exceed 20 per cent of the Company’s registered number of shares at the time of the board of director’s first resolution pursuant to the authorization. For subsequent resolutions pursuant to the authorization, the 20 per cent limit shall be based on (i) the number of shares issued pursuant to the authorization, and, with respect to warrants and convertible debentures issued pursuant to the authorization, (ii) the number of shares issued through subscription of issued warrants, and (iii) the number of shares issued through conversion of issued convertible debentures, provided that subscription/conversion of such warrants/convertible debentures have been completed.

The authorization thus allows the board of directors to take into account, for example in relation to convertible debentures, the number of shares actually issued rather than the number of shares that could be issued based on the lowest conversion price of the convertible debenture, provided that conversion of previously issued convertible debentures under the authorization have been completed. The lowest conversion price for convertible debentures needs to be included in the resolution for registration purposes.

Deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights shall be possible to, if needed, strengthen the Company’s financial position, broaden the ownership base and/or to increase the institutional ownership of the Company. New issue of shares and issue of warrants and/or convertible debentures shall, in the event of deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, be made at market conditions.

The board of directors, the CEO or the person appointed by the board of directors shall be entitled to make the minor adjustments of the decision required in connection with the registration thereof.

For the present resolution to be valid it is required that the proposal is approved by shareholders holding at least two-thirds (2/3) of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the general meeting.

NUMBER OF SHARES AND VOTES IN THE COMPANY

At the time of the issuing of this notice the total number of shares and votes in the Company amounts to 201,311,406. Only one class of shares exists, and the Company has no holding of own shares.

SHAREHOLDERS’ RIGHT TO DEMAND INFORMATION

Pursuant to Chapter 7 Section 32 and 57 of the Swedish Companies Act, the board of directors and the CEO shall, if any shareholder so requests and the board of directors deems that it can be done without significant harm to the Company, provide information at the general meeting regarding circumstances which may affect the assessment of a matter on the agenda or the financial situation of the Company. The disclosure obligation also covers the Company's relationship with another Group company, the consolidated accounts and such matters regarding subsidiaries as are referred to in the preceding sentence.
