It is proposed that fees shall be paid totaling SEK 500,000 with SEK 250,000 to the chair of the board and with SEK 50,000 to the other members elected by the annual general meeting.

Resolution on the number directors and number of auditors (item 10)

It is proposed that the board of directors, for the period until the end of the next annual general meeting, shall consist of six board members elected by the annual general meeting and no deputies.

It is proposed that the company, for the period until the end of the next annual general meeting, shall have one registered auditor without a deputy.

Election of directors, chair of the board and auditors (item 11)

The board of directors proposes that the registered accounting firm KPMG AB be re-elected as auditor, for the period until the end of the next annual general meeting. KPMG AB has notified the company that Helena Arvidsson Älgne will be appointed auditor-in-charge of the company, should the meeting resolve in accordance with the proposal.

Resolution on an issue authorization for the board of directors (item 12)

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves on issue authorization, mainly in accordance with the following.

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting authorizes the board of directors to, during the period until the next annual general meeting, on one or more occasions, with or without preferential rights for the shareholders, resolve on the issue of shares, warrants and/or convertibles, entailing an increase in the number of shares and votes in the company by no more than twenty-five (25) percent, based on the total number of shares and votes in the company at the time of the 2023 annual general meeting.

The issue resolution may be made against cash payment and/or by consideration in kind or by set-off. The subscription price shall correspond to the assessed market value of the share.

The rationale for the proposal and the reasons for deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights are to create opportunities for the company in the event of an acquisition of a company or business and to create flexibility in any capital raisings.

The board of directors further proposes that the annual general meeting authorizes the board of directors, or the person appointed by the board of directors, to make minor changes to the above resolution that may prove necessary for registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

Majority requirements

A resolution in accordance with item 12 is valid only if supported by shareholders holding at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.

Documents

The complete documents in accordance with the Swedish Companies Act will be available at the company and on the company’s website and will be sent immediately without charge to any shareholders who so request and has states their address. The documents will also be available at the meeting.
