Proposed resolutions by the board of directors

Item 1: Election of the Chairman of the meeting

The Board proposes that attorney at law Marcus Nivinger is elected chairman of the meeting.

Item 6: Resolution on amendments of the articles of association

Following the discontinuation of the development of cobitolimod and the announcement by InDex Pharmaceuticals that the Company will not continue the development of any of its other compounds, as previously communicated by the Company and in order to maximize shareholder value, various options for the future of the Company have been evaluated. The result of this evaluation, which was carried out with the support of an external financial advisor, was to proceed with a reversed merger (the “Transaction”), and to take further steps to ensure that the Transaction is feasible. The evaluation is now in its final stages and in order to enable the Company to implement the Transaction as soon as practicable after entering into an agreement on the Transaction, which - provided that the parties can agree - shall be no later than 20 May 2024 - the board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves on the amendments to the articles of association resulting from the Transaction. The main features of the proposed amendments are described under item (a) below.

The board of directors further proposes, in order to enable the Company to carry out a reverse share split in connection with the Transaction, that the General Meeting resolves to amend the limits on the number of shares in the articles of association. The main features of the proposed amendment are described under item (b) below.

Provided that the Company enters into an agreement on the Transaction, the board of directors intends to convene a separate Extraordinary General Meeting, to be held immediately after the present General Meeting on 10 June 2024, to resolve on approval of the Transaction, issue in kind, reverse share split and other resolutions resulting from the Transaction.

The resolutions proposed by the board of directors under items a) and b) below are conditional upon each other and shall be adopted as one resolution.

a) Resolution on amendment of the articles of association (company name, objects of the company, new class of shares, etc.)

The main features of the board of directors' proposal to amend the articles of association is:

1. Change of company name to a name similar to the target company in the Transaction.

2. Amendment of the objects of the company to the following wording: ”The company shall own and manage securities, shares and rights, and conduct any other activities compatible therewith.”

3. Amendments to the limitations with respect to the share capital and number of shares to align with the share capital and number of shares following the new issue of shares with payment in kind to be carried out in connection with the Transaction.

4. Introduction of a redeemable and convertible class of shares, shares of series C, to enable a voluntary share redemption scheme for the Company's shareholders, which is intended to be established in connection with the Transaction. Existing shares shall constitute ordinary shares. Through the redemption scheme, it is proposed that the shareholders shall have the right to request conversion of their ordinary shares into shares of series C during an annual period of one week, up to a number corresponding to a maximum of five (5) per cent of the total number of outstanding shares. The Company shall thereafter be obliged to redeem all outstanding shares of series C against payment of a redemption amount to be calculated in a manner specified in the articles of association in its complete proposed new wording. Under certain conditions, holders of shares of series C shall be able to request that the shares of series C be converted back into ordinary shares.

5. Introduction of a higher majority requirement for amendments to the articles of association that impair the rights attached to the shares of series C.

6. Reduction of the maximum number of members of the board of directors from ten (10) to eight (8).

7. The right of the board of directors to resolve, prior to a general meeting, that shareholders may exercise their voting rights by postal voting prior to the general meeting.

The articles of association in their complete proposed new wording will be available on the Company’s website no later than two weeks prior to the general meeting.

The resolution to amend the articles of association in accordance with this paragraph 6(a) shall be registered simultaneously with a resolution on a new issue of shares bringing the share capital and the number of shares in line with the proposed changes to the limits on the share capital and the number of shares.

The board of directors, the CEO, or the person appointed by the board of directors or the CEO, is authorised to make such minor adjustments to the resolution as may be required in connection with the registration or execution of the respective resolutions with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or Euroclear Sweden AB or due to other formal requirements.

b) Resolution on amendment of the articles of association (limits on the number of shares)

The main content of the board of directors' proposal to amend the articles of association is to change the limits on the number of shares to align with the number of shares following the reverse share split intended to be implemented in connection with the contemplated Transaction.

The articles of association in its complete proposed new wording will be available on the Company's website no later than two weeks prior to the General Meeting.

The resolution to amend the articles of association in accordance with this paragraph 6(b) shall be registered simultaneously with a resolution on a reverse share split that brings the number of shares in line with the proposed change in the limits on the number of shares.

The board of directors, the CEO, or the person appointed by the board of directors or the CEO, is authorised to make such minor adjustments to the resolution as may be required in connection with the registration or execution of the respective resolutions with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or Euroclear Sweden AB or due to other formal requirements.

Majority requirements
For a resolution according to item 6 to be valid, the requirement is that the proposal is supported by shareholders representing at least two thirds (2/3) of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.

Number of shares and votes in the Company
At the time of issuing this notice, there are a total of 532,687,650 outstanding shares and votes in the Company. The Company does not hold any own shares.

Shareholders' right to request information
