Proposals
Resolution on authorisation for the Board of Directors to resolve to issue shares and/or convertible bonds (item 7)
The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting resolve to authorise the Board of Directors to resolve, on one or several occasions before the next Annual General Meeting, with or without disapplication of the shareholders' preferential rights, to issue shares and/or convertible bonds. Such issue resolution may include provisions for payment in kind or against set-off of claims. The amount to be raised through the issue of shares and/or convertible bonds, shall not exceed USD 4,000,000 in total or the equivalent amount in SEK on the issue date.
The purpose of the authorisation and the reason for any disapplication of the shareholders' pre-emptive right is to increase the financial flexibility of the Company and to be able to make payment with own financial instruments in connection with possible acquisitions that the company may carry out. The issue price for the new shares and/or the convertible bonds is to be set taking into account the prevailing market price of the Company’s shares.
The Board of Directors, or any person appointed by the Board of Directors, shall be authorised to make such minor adjustments of the resolutions that may prove necessary for registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Sw: Bolagsverket ).
A valid resolution by the General Meeting pursuant to the proposal above requires that the resolution be supported by shareholders representing at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the General Meeting.
