THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ PROPOSAL TO ISSUE NEW SHARES (ITEM 7)
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to increase the share capital of the company with not more than SEK 1,457,000 by an issue of not more than 1,457,000 new shares.
Right to subscribe for new shares shall only fall upon Helmut Schweiger and Hubert Kirsch, with a right and obligation to pay for the new shares by way of set-off against claims on the company. The reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights is that the board of directors of Doro has elected to exercise the option that was negotiated in connection with the acquisition of its German distributor IVS. As communicated in a press release on 14 May 2013, the option grants Doro the right to finance part of the acquisition with Doro shares to be issued to the previous owners of IVS.
The subscription price shall be SEK 27.89 per share and has been established through negotiations at the time of the acquisition of IVS.
Subscription and payment for shares shall be made by the persons entitled to subscribe for shares by forwarding subscription lists to the company no later than 20 September 2013. The board of directors shall be entitled to extend the subscription period and the time for payment.
SPECIAL MAJORITY REQUIREMENTS
Resolutions to adopt the board of directors’ proposal under item 7 above shall only be valid if the proposal is supported by shareholders holding not less than two-thirds (2/3) of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the general meeting. _________________________
The complete proposal and statements of the board in accordance with the Swedish Companies Act, including auditor’s statements, will be held available at the company’s office at the address above and on its website, www.doro.com , no later than three weeks before the extraordinary general meeting.
