Rights issue with pre-emptive right for the shareholders The meeting resolved in accordance with the proposal of the board of directors on a rights issue with expected proceeds of approximately SEK 60 million before issue costs. Through the rights issue, the Company's share capital can be increased with a maximum amount of SEK 1,100,817.12 divided into a maximum of 27,520,428 shares. The main terms and conditions for the rights issue are as following.
The Company's shareholders shall have pre-emptive right to subscribe for new shares in proportion to the shares previously owned. Each previously owned share confers the right to one (1) subscription right. Five (5) subscription rights entitles subscription for three (3) new shares. The subscription price to be paid shall be SEK 2.18 for each new share.
The record date for entitlement to participate in the rights issue with pre-emptive right shall be 19 April 2016. Subscription for new shares shall be made during the time period as from 21 April 2016 - 6 May 2016. Subscription by exercise of subscription rights shall be made by simultaneous cash payment. Subscription for new shares without subscription rights shall be made on a separate subscription list. Payment for new shares subscribed for without subscription rights shall be made in cash no later than the third bank day from dispatch of the contract note setting forth the allotment of shares to the subscriber. The board of directors shall be entitled to extend the period for subscription and payment.
Authorisation of the board of directors to issue new shares The meeting resolved in accordance with the proposal of the board of directors to authorise the board of directors until the next annual shareholders' meeting to, on one or more occasions, resolve to increase the Company's share capital by issue of no more than 17,500,000 new shares. The board of directors may deviate from the shareholders' preferential rights. The reason for the board of directors' authorisation to deviate from the shareholders' preferential rights is to enable the company's possibilities to raise new capital and to take advantage of future opportunities to attract new long-term owners of strategic importance to the company, as well as to finance the Company's growth strategy. The authorization also includes the right to decide on payment for the issued shares in kind, set-off or other conditions as referred in Chap. 13 Sec. 5 item 6 of the Swedish Companies Act (Sw. Aktiebolagslagen (2005:551)). At a deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, the issue rate shall be determined in accordance with market conditions.
