Proposals and motivated opinion can be found on the Company’s website, www.investorab.com.

The Nomination Committee's amended proposal results in the following adjustments in relation to the Nomination Committee’s already submitted proposals. The number of Members of the Board of Directors The Nomination Committee proposes eleven Members of the Board of Directors and no Deputy Members of the Board of Directors. Members of the Board of Directors The Nomination Committee proposes Sara Öhrvall to also be elected as new Member of the Board of Directors.
