Work in addition to ordinary board duties may be invoiced on market terms. The Nomination Committee further proposes that fees to the auditor be paid in accordance with approved invoices and customary charging standards.

Election of Board Members and Auditor (item 11)
The Nomination Committee proposes the re-election of Jens Eriksson, Thoas Fioretos, Eva Sjökvist Saers and Erlend Skagseth as ordinary members of the Board. Eva Sjökvist Saers is proposed for re-election as Chair of the Board.

The Nomination Committee also proposes that Öhrlings PricewaterhouseCoopers AB be re-elected as the company's auditor until the end of the next Annual General Meeting. The audit firm has announced that Ola Bjärehäll will remain as the auditor in charge.

Resolution on Nomination Committee Instructions (item 12)
The Nomination Committee proposes that the nomination process ahead of the 2026 Annual General Meeting shall be conducted as follows:

The Chair of the Board shall, based on the ownership structure as of 30 September 2025, convene a Nomination Committee consisting of one representative from each of the three largest shareholders in the company, as well as the Chair of the Board.

If any of the three largest shareholders declines their right to appoint a representative, that right shall pass to the next largest shareholder.

If a shareholder who has appointed a member of the Nomination Committee sells a significant portion of its shareholding during the mandate period or otherwise ceases to be one of the largest shareholders, the appointed representative shall resign from the committee. The committee may, if deemed appropriate, replace such member with a representative appointed by the new eligible shareholder. 

If a representative no longer represents the shareholder who appointed them, or otherwise resigns before the committee has completed its work, the shareholder shall be entitled to appoint a replacement.

The Nomination Committee shall fulfil the duties assigned to it under the Swedish Corporate Governance Code.

No remuneration is proposed for members of the Nomination Committee, but reimbursement shall be made for documented expenses.

Resolution to Approve Guidelines for a Remuneration Programme with a requirement to acquire Shares in Coegin Pharma AB for the Financial Year 2025 (item 13)
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting of Coegin Pharma AB ("Coegin Pharma" or the "Company") resolves to approve guidelines for a variable remuneration programme for the Chief Executive Officer (the "Participant"), requiring the acquisition of shares in Coegin Pharma (the "Programme"), and to authorise the Company's Board of Directors to design and implement a variable remuneration programme including the associated requirement to acquire shares in Coegin Pharma. The objectives and remuneration under the Programme will not be tied to the performance of the Coegin Pharma share and are therefore not considered to constitute a share-based incentive programme. However, the Board considers that the guidelines should be approved by the Annual General Meeting. 

The purpose of the Programme is to promote and increase the Participant's shareholding in Coegin Pharma, and to enhance the Company's ability to offer competitive remuneration models.

The Participant shall use the full amount of the variable remuneration received under the Programme, net of tax, to acquire shares in Coegin Pharma on the stock market. The Company shall cover any applicable social security contributions. The share purchase shall take place immediately upon payment of the variable remuneration. Should regulatory restrictions, such as closed periods, prevent immediate acquisition, the shares shall be acquired as soon as such restrictions no longer apply.

Shares acquired under the Programme must be held by the Participant for a minimum period of three years after the acqusition. If the Participant's employment is terminated - whether by resignation, dismissal, or otherwise - during this period, the Participant is still required to retain the acquired shares for the full three-year period. Any breach of the Programme's terms, such as failing to provide updates on the status of the shareholding or prematurely selling acquired shares, will result in sanctions and the obligation to repay the full amount received under the Programme (including any income tax paid, but excluding social security contributions).

The variable remuneration shall be market-based and may not exceed 30 percent of the Participant's annual fixed base salary. It shall be tied to strategically important short- and long-term operational objectives measurable during 2025. The remuneration shall be paid no later than March of the year following the earning period. If the Participant's assignment ends during the current financial year, the right to variable remuneration shall lapse in full.

The total cost of the Programme for the Participant is estimated to be a maximum of 468,000 SEK, excluding social security contributions. The remuneration under the Programme shall not entitle the Participant to pension or holiday pay beyond what is required by mandatory law.

When designing the Programme, the Board shall consider including provisions for reclaiming remuneration paid on the basis of clearly incorrect information and to delay, reduce or cancel payment if such actions are deemed appropriate in light of the Company's financial performance, position or liquidity.

The need for and structure of variable remuneration may vary from year to year and person to person. The Board shall evaluate such needs and conditions annually.

Resolution to Amend the Articles of Association (item 14)
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to amend the Articles of Association as follows:

Current wording

Proposed wording

§ 2 Registered office

The registered office of the Board of Directors is in the municipality of Lund, Skåne County.

§ 2 Registered office

The registered office of the Board of Directors is in the municipality of Lund, Skåne County.

 

In addition to the municipality where the Board has its registered office, general meetings may also be held in Stockholm.

 

The Chief Executive Officer, or any person appointed by the Board of Directors, shall be authorised to make such minor adjustments to the resolution as may be necessary in connection with the registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

Resolution to Authorise the Board of Directors to Resolve on Issues of Shares, Warrants and/or Convertibles (item 15)
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorises the Board, on one or more occasions until the next Annual General Meeting, within the limits of the Articles of Association and with or without preferential rights for shareholders, to resolve on issues of new shares and/or warrants and/or convertibles for a total issue amount of up to SEK 35,000,000. Payment may be made in cash, by contribution in kind or by set-off and may be subject to other terms in accordance with the Swedish Companies Act.

In the event of deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, the issue price shall be market-based (subject to customary discounts, where applicable). 

The purpose of the authorisation and the reason for any deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is to increase the company's financial flexibility in special circumstances, reduce the company's debt, enable acquisitions, attract strategic investors and provide the company with working capital.

Majority Requirements
A valid resolution under items 14 and 15 above requires the approval of shareholders representing at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.

Documents and Shareholder Information at the Meeting
Shareholders are reminded of their right to request information under Chapter 7, Section 32 of the Swedish Companies Act. All documents required under the Swedish Companies Act (2005:551) will be available at the company's office in Lund and on the company's website, www.coeginpharma.com, no later than three weeks prior to the meeting and will be sent to shareholders who request them and provide a postal address.
