Proposed resolutions
Background to the proposed resolutions under items 7-9
Logistea and KMC Properties ASA (“KMC Properties”), listed on Olso Børs, entered into an agreement today on 14 June 2024 whereby Logistea will combine with KMC Properties by acquiring all shares in KMC Properties Holdco AS (“KMC Holdco”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of KMC Properties (the “Transaction”). The Transaction includes all operations conducted in the KMC Properties group, except for cash and deferred taxes in the amount of approximately NOK 15 million that will remain in KMC Properties to, inter alia, satisfy certain residual obligations in KMC Properties, finance its day-to-day operations and facilitate realisation of KMC Properties’ post-transaction strategy. Payment of the purchase price is intended to be made by Logistea issuing 16,263,577 ordinary shares of class A and 214,551,706 ordinary shares of class B in Logistea to KMC Properties (the “Consideration Shares”), whereby the current shareholders of Logistea will hold approximately 51 percent of the shares and votes in Logistea following the Transaction, and KMC Properties will hold approximately 49 percent of the shares and votes in Logistea following the Transaction. KMC Properties will distribute the Consideration Shares to the shareholders of KMC Properties following completion of the Transaction. For more information on the Transaction, please refer to Logistea’s announcement of the Transaction on 14 June 2024.

With reference to the Transaction, certain larger shareholders have decided to submit proposals regarding the number of board members and the composition of the board of directors and have decided to submit proposals to the Extraordinary General Meeting under items 8-9 below.

Resolution on authorisation for the board of directors to resolve on new issue of shares, item 7
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to authorise the board of directors to resolve on new issues of shares in accordance with the following.

Authorisation for the board of directors to resolve on new issue of shares unrelated to the Transaction
At the Annual General Meeting on 3 May 2024, it was resolved to authorise the board of directors to issue shares as follows.

The board of directors was authorised, within the limits of the articles of association applicable at the time of exercise of the authorisation, on one or several occasions during the period until the next Annual General Meeting, to decide on new issues of ordinary shares of class A, B and D and/or preference shares with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights. Based on the authorisation, the number of shares that may be issued may correspond to an increase of a maximum of one hundred (100) percent of the total number of shares issued in the company at the time of the Annual General Meeting, however, the number of preference shares that may be issued by virtue of the authorisation may only amount to so many shares that the dividend on the shares is covered by the company’s restricted equity. The shares may be subscribed for in cash, by contribution in kind or by way of set-off or on terms set out in Chapter 2, Section 5 of the Swedish Companies Act.

The purpose of the authorisation is to increase the company’s financial flexibility and the board of director’s scope for action. If the board of directors decides on an issue with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, the reason shall be to enable external fundraising for the financing of the company’s business, acquisitions of properties or property-owning companies and/or acquisition of other companies or operations.

A new issue decided by virtue of the authorisation which takes place with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights shall be in line with market terms.

The board of directors now proposes that Extraordinary General Meeting resolves on a new amended authorisation to issue shares to replace the authorisation to issue shares resolved upon at the Annual General Meeting. The new authorisation shall have the same wording as the authorisation resolved upon by the Annual General Meeting as set out above with the differences that (i) the number of shares that may be issued pursuant to the authorisation may correspond to an increase of a maximum of fifty (50) percent of the total number of shares issued in the company at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting, and (ii) the authorisation shall only include resolutions on new issues of ordinary shares of class B, alternatively, in case of resolutions on new issues with preferential rights for the shareholders, resolutions on new issues of ordinary shares of class A and class B.

The new authorisation shall also allow the board of directors to resolve on new issues of shares in accordance with the Transaction as set out below.

Authorisation for the board of directors to resolve on new issue of shares in connection with the Transaction
The board of directors is authorised, on one or several occasions during the period until the next Annual General Meeting, in connection with the Transaction, to resolve on new issue of ordinary shares of class A and class B. New issue of shares may be made with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights. The authorisation shall include the right to resolve on a new share issue with terms concerning contribution in kind, that shares shall be subscribed for with a right to set-off or on conditions in accordance with Chapter 2, Section 5 of the Swedish Companies Act. The number of newly issued shares may not exceed 16,263,577 ordinary shares of class A and 214,551,706 ordinary shares of class B.

The purpose of the authorisation in this part is to enable payment of consideration in connection with the Transaction.

Determination of the number of board members, item 8
Certain shareholders propose that the board of directors, for the period until the end of the next Annual General Meeting, shall consist of seven (7) ordinary members without deputies. A resolution in accordance with the proposal under this item 8 shall be conditional upon (i) the Transaction being completed, and (ii) Logistea having published the interim report for the period 1 January – 31 June 2024, which is expected to take place on 12 July 2024.

Election of new members of the board of directors, item 9
Certain shareholders propose that Bjørnar André Ulstein, Mia Arnhult and Karl-Erik Bekken are elected as new members of the board of directors of Logistea for the period until the end of the next Annual General Meeting, and that Bjørnar André Ulstein is appointed deputy chairman of Logistea’s board of directors. The current board members Maria Björkling and Stefan Hansson have declared their intention to resign from their respective board assignments in Logistea in connection with the completion of the Transaction. If the general meeting resolves in accordance with the proposal, the board of directors will, for the period until the end of the next Annual General Meeting, consist of Patrik Tillman (charman), Bjørnar André Ulstein (deputy chairman), Mia Arnhult, Karl-Erik Bekken, Erik Dansbo, Jonas Grandér and Anneli Lindblom. A resolution in accordance with the proposal under this item 9 shall be conditional upon (i) the Transaction being completed, and (ii) Logistea having published the interim report for the period 1 January – 31 June 2024, which is expected to take place on 12 July 2024.
