The transfer of shares on Nasdaq Stockholm shall be conducted at a price within the registered price range at the time of the transfer.

The purpose of the above authorizations is to give the board of directors greater scope to act when working with the company’s capital structure and thereby contribute to increased shareholder value and that the company in a time efficient manner shall be able to make payment with own shares in connection with possible acquisitions of businesses that the company may undertake. The purpose of the authorization is also to be able to use the proceeds from the divestment of own shares in connection with, for example, investments in the company's own ongoing or future projects and any acquisitions of companies that the company may undertake.
The chairman of the board of directors, the managing director, or anyone authorized by the board of directors, shall have the right to make any minor adjustments required in order to register this resolution.
