Item 6 – Resolution on the general meeting's subsequent approval of the board of directors' resolution of 30 January 2024 to issue new shares with pre-emptive rights for existing shareholders
On 30 January 2024, the board of directors resolved on the below resolution (in italics) to issue new shares with pre-emptive rights for existing shareholders. The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to approve the board of directors’ resolution.
The board of directors of Nanologica AB (publ), reg. no 556664-5023 (the “Company”) resolves, subject to approval by the general meeting, to increase the Company’s share capital with not more than SEK 3,293,538.358523 by an issue of not more than 8,032,476 shares on the terms and conditions set out below.
- The right to subscribe for new shares shall belong to those persons who on the record date for the new issue of shares are recorded as shareholders of the Company. One (1) existing share entitles to one (1) subscription right, and nine (9) subscriptions rights entitle to subscription of two (2) new shares.
- In the event that not all new shares are subscribed for with pre-emption rights, the board of directors shall, within the limit of the maximum number of shares to be issued, resolve on allocation of shares that are not subscribed for with pre-emption rights. Such allocation shall firstly be made to subscribers that have used subscription rights in the issue (regardless of whether they were shareholders in the Company on the record date for the new issue or not) in relation to the amount of subscription rights that each subscriber has used to subscribe for new shares, secondly to other subscribers in relation to subscribed amount, and thirdly to the persons that have entered into underwriting commitments in relation to such commitment. Insofar allocation according to the above cannot be made pro rata, allocation shall be made through drawing of lots.
- The record date for participation in the new issue of shares shall be 26 February 2024.
- Subscription with pre-emption rights shall be made during the period from 28 February 2024 to 13 March 2024 (i) if by cash payment: by cash payment, or (ii) if by set-off of claims against the Company in connection with subscription: on a subscription list. Payment for shares subscribed for without pre-emption rights shall be made during the same period on a separate subscription list. Payment for shares subscribed for without pre-emption rights shall be made in full not later than five (5) banking days after information regarding allotment of shares was sent. The board of directors shall have the right to extend the subscription and payment period.
- Subscription of new shares made within the context of an underwriting commitment shall be made on a separate subscription list not later than 25 March 2024. Payment for such subscribed shares shall be made by cash payment not later than two (2) banking days after information regarding allotment of shares was sent. The board of directors shall have the right to extend the subscription and payment period.
- The new shares are issued at a subscription price of SEK 6.75 per share.
- To the extent that the shares are subscripted with a premium, the share premium shall be transferred to the unrestricted premium reserve.
- The new shares entitle to dividends for the first time on the first record date for dividend that takes place after the issue of new shares has been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and been recorded in the share register kept by Euroclear Sweden AB.
- The managing director, or any other person appointed by the board of directors, shall have the right to take those smaller measures that may be required in order to register the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB.
Exemption from mandatory bid obligation
In connection with the rights issue carried out in 2020, Flerie Invest AB (“Flerie Invest”) acquired an ownership stake of 30 percent after receiving an exemption from the mandatory bid obligation. Flerie Invest has also participated in a rights issue that was carried out in 2022 after receiving an exemption from the mandatory bid obligation. As of the date of this notice, Flerie Invest holds approximately 41.2 percent of the shares in the Company and, according to the terms of the previous exemption, a mandatory bid obligation will arise upon acquisition of additional shares unless a new exemption is obtained.
Flerie Invest has entered into subscription undertakings in connection with the current rights issue, which are conditional upon a resolution from the Swedish Securities Council to grant Flerie Invest exemption from the mandatory bid obligation which may arise if Flerie Invest subscribes for shares in the rights issue in accordance with the above-mentioned subscription undertakings.
If Flerie Invest fulfills its subscription undertakings, Flerie Invest's holding after the rights issue may amount to a maximum of approximately 39.2 percent of the shares and votes in the Company.
Majority requirement
A resolution in accordance with the above is valid only if supported by shareholders holding at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the general meeting.
Item 7 – Resolution on reduction of the share capital
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to reduce the Company's share capital by not more than 3,293,539.358523 for allocation to non-restricted equity.
The share capital shall be reduced by an amount in SEK corresponding to the amount with which the share capital increases through the resolution on a rights issue in accordance with item 6 on the agenda, but only to the extent that the share capital increase is attributable to newly issued shares.
The reduction shall be made without cancellation of shares.
The resolution is conditional upon the rights issue under item 6 on the agenda, entailing an increase in the share capital of not more than SEK 3,293,538.358523, being registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
The managing director, or any other person appointed by the board of directors, shall have the right to take those smaller measures that may be required in order to register the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB.
Majority requirement
A resolution in accordance with the above is valid only if supported by shareholders holding at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the general meeting.
Item 8 – Resolution on authorization for the board of directors
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to authorise the board of directors for the period up to the next annual meeting of shareholders to resolve, whether on one or several occasions, to issue not more than 1,481,481 new shares, corresponding to an increase in the Company’s share capital of not more than SEK 607,448.38 (calculated without regard to the reduction of the share capital proposed pursuant to item 7 on the agenda). The board of directors shall be authorised to adopt decisions on an issue of shares with deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights and/or an issue in kind or an issue by way of set-off or otherwise on such terms and conditions as referred to in the Swedish Companies Act.
The new shares shall be issued at a subscription price of SEK 6.75 per share, corresponding to the subscription price in the new issue according to item 6 on the agenda. The share premium shall be transferred to the unrestricted premium reserve. The board of directors shall be authorised to decide on the other terms and conditions regarding issues under this authorisation. The reason to propose that the board of directors shall be authorised to resolve on an issue with deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights and that the board shall be authorised to decide on an issue in kind or an issue by way of set-off or otherwise on such terms and conditions as referred to above is that the board of directors shall be able to accommodate a potential oversubscription in the rights issue in accordance with item 6 on the agenda and take advantage of the opportunity to provide the Company with additional capital in a time and cost-effective manner and/or expand the shareholder base with one or more shareholders of strategic importance to the Company.
The managing director, or any other person appointed by the board of directors, shall have the right to take those smaller measures that may be required in order to register the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB.
Majority requirement
A resolution in accordance with the above is valid only if supported by shareholders holding at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the general meeting.
Shareholders' right to information at the general meeting
The board of directors and the managing director shall, upon request by any shareholder and where the board of directors determines that it can be done without material harm to the Company, provide information of circumstances which may affect the assessment of a matter on the agenda.
