Item 10 - Resolution regarding (a) incentive program 2023/2026 to senior executives of the Company, (b) directed issue of warrants and (c) approval of transfer of warrants

a) Proposal for resolution regarding incentive program 2023/2026

The board of directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves on the implementation of an incentive program 2023/2026 in accordance with the following main principles:

  • The incentive program 2023/2026 shall comprise of a maximum of 225,000 warrants. Each (1) warrant shall entitle the holder to subscribe for one (1) new share in the Company.
  • The participants in the incentive program shall comprise of senior executives of the Company ("Participants"). Each Participant shall be entitled to acquire warrants as follows:
    • CEO Pontus Engström shall be offered to acquire up to 100,000 warrants (maximum one person)
    • CFO Nedim Efendic shall be offered to acquire up to 100,000 warrants (maximum one person)
    • Torbjörn Jacobsson shall be offered to acquire up to 25,000 warrants (maximum one person)
  • Since the warrants shall be acquired at market value, there are no performance conditions that need to be fulfilled in order to be offered to acquire warrants or to exercise warrants to subscribe for shares.

b) Proposal for resolution regarding directed issue of warrants

The board of directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves on a directed issue of a maximum of 225,000 warrants on mainly the following terms:

  • With deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, the warrants may only be subscribed for by the Company with the right and obligation to transfer the warrants to senior executives in accordance with item a). The reason for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is that the warrants should be able to be used within the framework of the Incentive Program 2023/2026.
  • The warrants entitle to subscription for a maximum of 225,000 new shares in the Company. If the warrants are fully exercised, the issue may result in an increase of the Company's share capital of a maximum of EUR 45,000, which corresponds to SEK 503,482.5.[1]
  • Each warrant entitles to subscription of one (1) share in the Company during the period from 29 June 2026 until and including 29 July 2026, or the earlier date that follows from the terms of the warrants. The subscription price has been determined at SEK 5.30 per share.
  • The premium shall be allocated to the Company's non-restricted share premium fund.
  • The warrants shall be issued at no consideration. The Company's subscription of the warrants shall be made at no consideration.
  • The warrants shall be subscribed for no later than three days after the resolution of the issue on a separate subscription list. The board of directors shall have the right to extend the subscription period. Over-subscription is not possible.
  • A new share subscribed for by exercise of a warrant entitles to dividends as of the first record date for dividends that occurs immediately following the subscription of shares through the exercise of the warrants and the execution and registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB.
  • The warrants are subject to customary terms and conditions available from the Company.
  • Warrants held by the Company and not transferred as described below, or repurchased from participants, may be cancelled by the Company upon resolution by the board of directors. The cancellation shall be registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

c) Proposal for resolution regarding approval of transfer of warrants

The board of directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting approves the Company's right to transfer the warrants to the Participants according to the distribution under the above item a). 

  • The transfer of the warrants to the Participants shall be made at a warrant premium determined based on a calculated market value for the warrants using the Black & Scholes valuation model calculated by the independent valuation institute Optionspartner AB. The preliminary warrant premium amounts to SEK 0.38 per warrant.
  • Notification of acquisition of warrants shall be made during the period from 16 June 2023 up to and including 23 June 2023. However, the board of directors shall have the right to extend the period for notification of acquisition.
  • Payment for allocated warrants shall be made in cash no later than five days after notification of acquisition.
  • A prerequisite for acquiring warrants is that the Participant has signed a special pre-emption agreement with the Company. The pre-emption agreement means that the Company, or the Company's designee, under certain conditions has the right to repurchase the warrants from the Participant. Such repurchase right shall exist, for example, if the Participant's employment terminates or if the Participant intends to transfer warrants to someone else.
  • The Company's board of directors resolves on final allocation and timing of the transfer of the warrants. The transfer of the warrants may take place up to the next annual general meeting.
  • The Company's board of directors is hereby authorized to prepare the necessary documentation for the 2023/2026 Incentive Program and otherwise administer the transfer to the Participants.

Background and reasons for the proposal

The purpose of the 2023/2026 Incentive Program is to create conditions for retaining and increasing the motivation of the management of the Company. The board finds that it is in the interest of all shareholders that the Participants, who have been deemed important to the further development of the Company, have a long-term interest in a good value development of the Company's shares. A long-term ownership engagement is expected to stimulate an increased interest in the business and overall performance development, and to increase the motivation of the Participants, with the aim of achieving increased interest community between the Participants and the Company's shareholders. 

Dilution effect

The total number of shares and votes in the Company amounts to 6,570,978. In the event that all warrants within the framework of the 2023/2026 Incentive Program are subscribed and exercised, the number of shares will increase by 225,000, which corresponds to a maximum dilution of approximately 3.31 percent of the total number of shares and votes in the Company.

Other outstanding incentive programs

In addition to this proposal for an incentive program, the annual general meeting on 9 June 2022 previously resolved on a warrant program. More information on the Company's warrants of series 2022/2025A is available in the Company's annual report for the 2022 financial year.

Preliminary valuation

The preliminary and final warrant premium is calculated using the Black & Scholes valuation model, assuming a risk-free rate of 2.712 percent and a volatility of 34.2 percent, and taking into account that no expected dividends or other value transfers to shareholders will occur during the term of the program. The basis and calculations have been developed and carried out by Optionspartner AB as an independent valuation institute. The calculated subscription price has been rounded to the nearest whole penny.

Costs and effects on key figures

As the warrants are acquired at market value, the assessment is made that no social costs will arise for the Company, in terms of costs for implementation and administration of the Incentive Program 2023/2026.

The Incentive Program 2023/2026 has no effects on the Company's key figures.

Preparation of the proposal

The proposal for the Incentive Program 2023/2026 has been prepared by the Company's board of directors in collaboration with external advisors.

Special authorization 

It is proposed that the board of directors, or whomever the board appoints, shall be authorized to make minor adjustments to this resolution that may be necessary in connection with registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and possibly with Euroclear Sweden AB.

Majority requirement

A valid resolution pursuant to this proposal requires that the resolution must be supported by shareholders with at least nine-tenths (9/10) of both the votes cast and the number of shares represented at the meeting.

Item 11  -  Resolution (a) reduction of the share capital and (b) amendment of the articles of association

In order to adjust the size of the Company's share capital to its operations, the board of directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves on a reduction of the share capital in accordance with (a) below. In order to implement the reduction proposed by the board under (a) and as a general adaptation, the limits of the share capital and the number of shares in the articles of association need to be adjusted in accordance with item (b) below.

(a) Resolution on reduction of share capital without redemption of shares

In order to adjust the size of the share capital to the Company's operations, the board of directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves on a reduction of the share capital as follows:

  1. The share capital shall be reduced by EUR 1,182,776.04. After the reduction, the share capital amounts to EUR 131,419.56, divided between 6,570,978 shares, each share with a quota value of 0.02 euros.
  2. The reduction amount shall be allocated as non-restricted equity.
  3. The reduction shall be carried out without cancellation of shares.

The reduction of the share capital also requires permission from the Swedish Companies Registration Office or, in disputed cases, a general court. Provided that the necessary permission is obtained, the reduction resolution, which practically means that the quota value of the share is reduced from EUR 0.2 to EUR 0.02, is expected to be implemented in August 2023.

(b) Resolution on amendment of the articles of association

In order to enable the reduction of the Company's share capital in accordance with the board's proposal under item (a) and for a general adaptation of the limits of the share capital and the number of shares, the board of directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves on an amendment of § 4 of the articles of association as follows:

The board of director's proposal for a resolution on amendment of § 4 of the articles of association

Current wording:

The share capital shall be not less than EUR 746,720 and not more than EUR 2,986,880. The number of shares shall be not less than 3,733,600 and not more than 14,934,400.

Proposed wording:

The share capital shall be not less than EUR 131,419 EUR and not more than EUR 525,676. The number of shares shall be not less than 6,570,950 and not more than 26,283,800.

The resolution on reduction of share capital in accordance with item (a) requires an amendment of the articles of association in accordance with item (b). The board proposes that the Annual General Meeting's resolution in accordance with the board's proposal under the items (a) and (b) shall be adopted as one resolution.

A valid resolution requires that the resolution must be supported by shareholders with at least two-thirds (2/3) of both the votes cast and the number of shares represented at the meeting

The board, the CEO, or the person appointed by the board or the CEO is further authorized to make the minor amendments to the resolution that may be necessary in connection with the registration of the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or due to other formal requirements.

Item 12 - Resolution regarding authorization for the board of directors to resolve on issuances of shares, convertibles and/or warrants

It is proposed that the Annual General Meeting resolves to authorize the board of directors to resolve, at one or several occasions and for the time period until the next annual general meeting, to increase the Company's share capital by new share issues and to issue warrants and convertibles, to the extent possible from time to time according to the Company's articles of association.

New share issues, as well as issues of warrants and convertibles, may be made with or without deviation from shareholders' preferential rights and with or without provisions for contribution in kind, set-off or other conditions in accordance with Chapter 2 Section 5 of the Swedish Companies Act. Pursuant to Chapter 16 of the Swedish Companies Act, the Board of Directors may not by virtue of this authorization resolve on resolve on issues to directors and/or employees in the Company or its subsidiaries. 

The purpose of the authorization is to increase the financial flexibility of the Company and the acting scope of the board of directors. Should the board of directors resolve on an issue with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, the reason shall be to enable the external raising of capital (through new owners of strategic importance for the Company or otherwise) for the financing of the Company's business, commercialization and development of the Company's products and intellectual property rights and/or acquisitions of other companies or businesses.

A valid resolution pursuant to this proposal requires that the resolution must be supported by shareholders with at least two-thirds (2/3) of both the votes cast and the number of shares represented at the meeting.

Item 13 - Resolution regarding authorization for the board of directors to undertake minor adjustments of the resolutions

The board of directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorizes the board of directors, the CEO or a person otherwise designated by the board, to undertake such minor adjustments and clarifications of the resolutions made at the Annual General Meeting to the extent required for registration of the resolutions.
