BDO Mälardalen AB has announced that that the authorized public accountant Carl-Johan Kjellman will serve as the auditor-in-charge.
Item 13 – Resolution on instruction for the nomination committee
The nomination committee proposes that the meeting resolves to approve the following instructions on appointment of a nomination committee to apply until further notice.
Instruction for OXE Marine AB’s Nomination Committee
The company is to have a nomination committee comprised of members appointed by each of the four largest shareholders in terms of votes. Should it not be possible to convene a nomination committee consisting of four shareholder representatives after contact has been made with the ten shareholders controlling the largest number of votes in the company, the nomination committee may consist of three shareholder representatives. In addition, the nomination committee has the possibility, if required, to call in a member of the board of directors as a co-opted member of the nomination committee. Unless the members of the nomination committee agree otherwise, the chair of the nomination committee shall be the member that represents the largest shareholder with regard to the number of votes held. The chair of the committee will have the casting vote in the event that the votes are equal.
The nomination committee shall be composed based on shareholder statistics from Euroclear Sweden AB as of the last banking day in August and other reliable shareholder information which has been provided to the company at such time. When determining which the four largest shareholders are in terms of votes a group of shareholders shall be considered as one owner if they (i) have been organized as a group in the Euroclear system or (ii) have made public and notified the company that they have made a written agreement to take – through the coordinated exercise of voting rights – a common long-term view on the management of the company. The composition of the nomination committee is to be announced as soon as it is appointed. The mandate period of the nomination committee is until the composition of the next nomination committee is completed.
The nomination committee shall prepare the below proposals to be submitted to the Annual General Meeting for resolution:
- proposal regarding chairman of the general meeting;
- proposal regarding the board of directors;
- proposal regarding chairman of the board of directors;
- proposal regarding directors’ fees and other compensation for each of the directors as well as, when applicable, remuneration for committee work;
- when applicable, proposals regarding auditor’s fees and election of auditor; and
- to the extent deemed necessary, proposal regarding amendments of this instruction for the nomination committee.
In the event that a member leaves the nomination committee prior to the work of the committee having been completed, a new member appointed by the same shareholder may replace the leaving member, if deemed necessary by the nomination committee. In the event that a shareholder that has appointed a member to the nomination committee significantly has reduced its holding of shares in the company, the member in question may resign and, if deemed appropriate by the nomination committee, the shareholder next in line in terms of size may be provided an opportunity to appoint a new member. If the shareholding in the company is otherwise significantly changed before the nomination committee’s work has been completed, a change in the composition of the nomination committee may take place, in such way that the nomination committee deems appropriate.
The company shall be able to pay reasonable costs connected to the work of the nomination committee. The nomination committee shall not receive any fees.
The board of directors’ proposals
Item 9.b) – Allocation of the company’s result in accordance with the adopted balance sheet
The board of directors has proposed to the 2024 annual general meeting that no dividend is paid and that the funds at the disposal of the general meeting are carried forward.
Item 12 – Resolution on authorisation for the board of directors to issue new shares, warrants and/or convertible debentures
The board of directors proposes that the meeting authorises the board of directors, for the period up to the next annual general meeting, on one or more occasions, with or without pre-emption rights for the shareholders, to adopt resolutions to issue new shares, warrants and/or convertible debentures. Such new issue resolutions may include provisions of payment in cash and/or payment by way of contribution of non-cash consideration or by set-off of a claim or that subscription shall be subject to other conditions. The number of shares that may be issued (or added through the exercise of warrants or conversion of convertible debentures) may in total not exceed 20 per cent of the total number of shares in the company at the time when the authorization is used for the first time.
The reason for the board of directors’ authorisation to deviate from the shareholders’ preferential rights is to enable the Company to raise new capital, and/or strengthen the Company’s financial position and/or to take advantage of future opportunities to attract new long-term owners. At a deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, the issue rate shall be determined in accordance with market conditions, taking into account any discount on market terms.
The board of directors, the CEO, or a person appointed by the board of directors or the CEO shall be authorised to make any minor amendments required to register the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and/or Euroclear, or due to other formal requirements.
For a valid resolution on the proposal in this item, the proposal has to be supported by shareholders representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast as well as shares represented at the meeting.
Available documents
The complete proposals for resolutions and other documents that shall be made available prior to the meeting pursuant to the Swedish Companies Act will be made available at the company and at the company’s website, www.oxemarine.com, at least three weeks prior to the meeting.

In other respects, the board of directors’ complete proposals for resolutions are stated in the notice.
