PROPOSED RESOLUTIONS
Item 8 a) – Resolution on adoption of the income statement and balance sheet in the board of directors' resignation statement
The Shareholder proposes that the general meeting resolves to adopt the income statement and balance sheet in the board of directors' resignation statement.
Item 8 b) – Resolution on discharge from liability for the members of the board of directors and the CEO
The Shareholder proposes that the general meeting resolves to discharge the members of the board of directors and the chief executive officer from liability.
Item 11 – Resolution on the termination of voluntary liquidation
The extraordinary general meeting of the Company resolved on 5 October 2023 that the Company would enter into voluntary liquidation in accordance with Chapter 25 Section 3 of the Swedish Companies Act. For the liquidation, the Swedish Companies Registration Office appointed liquidator Lars-Henrik Andersson, Cirio Advokatbyrå AB. The reason for the decision on voluntary liquidation was that there was deemed to be no acceptable alternative to a decision on voluntary liquidation to avoid a bankruptcy situation in the event that a structural transaction could not be implemented. In light of the structural transaction in the form of the reverse acquisition of PMD Device Solutions AB that the Company announced through a press release on 29 December 2023 with the heading “Promore Pharma AB intends to carry out a reverse acquisition of PMD Device Solutions AB” and which is proposed to be resolved upon under item 15 on the agenda, the basis for the voluntary liquidation is no longer deemed to exist. Furthermore, the following is stated:
i) There are no grounds for compulsory liquidation under Chapter 25 Sections 11 and 12 of the Swedish Companies Act;
ii) The company's equity, calculated in accordance with Chapter 5 Section 14 of the Swedish Companies Act, is, in the opinion of the auditor, not less than the registered share capital; and
iii) Replacement has not taken place.
Against this background, the Shareholder termination of the voluntary liquidation and resumption of the Company's activities.
The decision is conditional on the meeting adopting the proposals in items 12–15 on the agenda.
Item 12 - Determination of the remuneration of the board of directors
The Shareholder proposes that the meeting resolves that the renumeration to the Board of Directors shall be SEK 326,370 to the chairman of the Board of Directors and SEK 260,000 to board members who are not employees of the Company or a subsidiary to the Company.
The resolution is conditional upon the meeting resolving in accordance with the proposals in items 11 and 13–15 on the agenda and that the Swedish Companies Registration Office simultaneously registers the resumption of the company's activities.
Item 13 - Election of new board of directors
For the period until the end of the next Annual General Meeting, the Board of Directors is proposed to consist of five (5) members without deputies.
The Shareholder proposes that the meeting resolves to elect Peter Donnelly, Magnus Christensen, Christer Ahlberg, Anne Dorney and Myles Murray. Furthermore, it is proposed that Peter Donnelly is elected as Chairman of the Board. All existing members are proposed to be dismissed.
For a description of each new member, please see the company description that will be published ahead of the reverse acquisition of PMD Device Solutions AB.
The resolution is conditional upon the general meeting resolving in accordance with the proposals in items 11–12 och 14–15 on the agenda and that the Swedish Companies Registration Office simultaneously registers the resumption of the company's activities.
Item 14 – Resolution on amendment of the articles of association (I)

The resolution is conditional upon the meeting resolving in accordance with the proposals in items 11–13 och 15 on the agenda and that the Swedish Companies Registration Office has registered the resumption of the Company's activities.
A resolution under this paragraph shall be valid only if supported by shareholders holding at least two-thirds (2/3) of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the extraordinary general meeting.
Item 15 - Resolution on an issue of shares with non-cash consideration
The Shareholder proposes that the general meeting decides on a share issue directed to the shareholders of PMD Device Solutions AB, reg. no. 559305-4173 ("PMD") with payment in the form of all shares in PMD. The share issue is proposed in order for the Company to acquire all shares in PMD. After the issue, the shareholders in PMD will jointly hold a maximum of approximately 97.7 per cent of the total number of shares and votes in Promore and the existing shareholders in Promore will hold approximately 2.3 per cent of the number of shares and votes in the Company. Through the new issue, the Company's share capital will increase by a maximum of SEK 102,978,477.16 through a new issue of a maximum of 2,574,461,929 shares on the following terms.
1. The right to subscribe for the new shares shall accrue to the shareholders of PMD in proportion to their respective shareholdings.
The reason for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is that the Company shall acquire all shares in PMD and that the consideration for such acquisition shall consist of a total of 2,574,461,929 shares in the Company (i.e. the shares proposed to be issued under this issue). The transaction and the issue are expected to be beneficial to all current shareholders of the Company.
2. SEK 0.05961 shall be paid for each subscribed share. A total of SEK 153,462,500 shall be paid for all 2,574,461,929 shares. Payment shall be made by contribution in kind in the form of shares in PMD in accordance with the report pursuant to Chapter 13 Section 7 of the Swedish Companies Act.
3. The share premium shall be added to the unrestricted share premium reserve.
4. Subscription and payment of the newly issued shares shall take place on the day of the issue decision. The board is entitled to extend the subscription period and the time for payment.
5. The new shares entitle to dividends from the day the shares have been entered in the share register maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB.
6. The liquidator, the new board of directors or the person appointed by the liquidator or the new board of directors is authorized to make the minor adjustments necessary for the registration of the resolution with the Registrar of Companies.
The resolution is conditional upon the meeting resolving in accordance with the proposals in items 11–14 on the agenda and that the Swedish Companies Registration Office has registered the resumption of the Company's activities.
The shareholder Myles Murray may, as the largest shareholder in PMD, through the issue obtain approx. 39 percent of the capital and votes in Promore, which triggers a mandatory bid in accordance with the takeover rules. Myles Murray will apply for an exemption from the mandatory bid from the Swedish Securities Council during the notice period and the outcome of the application will be published no later than two weeks prior to the general meeting. The exemption is expected to be conditional upon (i) the shareholders being informed of Myles Murray's highest possible holding as a result of the issue; and (ii) the resolution under this item being supported by shareholders holding at least two thirds (2/3) of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the extraordinary general meeting, whereby any shares in Promore held by Myles Murray are disregarded in the vote count.
Item 16 – Resolution on amendment of the articles of association (II)
The Shareholder proposes that the extraordinary general meeting resolves to amend the articles of association as set out below.

Item 17 - Resolution on a) amendment of the Articles of Association (III); b) directed share issue (equalisation issue); and c) reverse share split
In order to achieve an appropriate number of shares for the Company, the Shareholder proposes that the general meeting resolves on a reverse share split of the Company's shares in accordance with c) below. To enable the reverse share split, it is proposed that the general meeting resolves on a directed share issue (equalization issue) in accordance with b) below and amendment of the limits of the articles of association for the number of shares in accordance with a) and below.
The resolution on reverse share split according to item c) requires an amendment of the articles of association and a share issue according to items a) and b) and vice versa. The shareholder thus proposes that a resolution in accordance with the board of directors' proposal under items a), b) and c) shall be adopted as one resolution.
a) Amendment of the Articles of Association (number of shares)
The Shareholder proposes that the meeting resolves to amend § 5 of the articles of association regarding the number of shares as follows:
Current wording | Proposed wording |
5 § Antal aktier / Number of shares Antalet aktier ska vara lägst 2 635 000 000 och högst 10 540 000 000. The number of shares shall be not less than 2,635,000,000 and not more than 10,540,000,000. | 5 § Antal aktier / Number of shares Antalet aktier ska vara lägst 20 580 000 och högst 82 320 000. The number of shares shall be not less than 20,580,000 and not more than 82,320,000. |
b) Directed share issue (equalisation issue)
The Shareholder proposes that, in order to technically facilitate the reverse split according to item c), the general meeting resolves on an increase of the Company's share capital by no more than SEK 13.08 through a new issue of no more than 327 shares on the following terms.
1. The right to subscribe for the shares shall, with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, accrue only to Corespring New Technology AB. The reason for the deviation from the preferential right is to technically facilitate the proposed reverse share split through a new issue at a low value.
2. The subscription price shall correspond to the quota value, i.e. SEK 0.04 per share, before the reverse split according to item c).
3. Subscription shall be made on a separate subscription list within one week from the date of the general meeting. Payment shall be made within one week from the date of the general meeting. The board of directors is entitled to extend the time for subscription and payment.
4. The new shares entitle to dividends from the record date for dividends that occurs after the shares have been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and entered in the share register maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB.
c) Reverse share split
The Shareholder proposes that the general meeting resolves on a reverse share split of the Company's shares, whereby 128 existing shares shall be consolidated into one (1) new shares (reverse share split 1:128). The Shareholder proposes that the general meeting authorizes the new board of directors to determine the record date for the reverse share split. The record date may not occur before the resolution on the reverse share split has been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
In connection with the determination of the record date for the reverse split, the board of directors shall publish the decision on the determination of the record date and publish further information on the procedure for the reverse split. The shareholder Corespring New Technology AB has undertaken to contribute shares free of charge to those shareholders whose number of shares is not evenly divisible by 128. Thus, this means that all shareholders in the reverse share split will hold shares corresponding to a whole number of new shares and there will be no excess shares (so-called fractions). Corespring New Technology AB has also undertaken to round down its remaining shareholding in the Company to the nearest number that is evenly divisible by 128. After the reverse share split and the equalisation issue, the number of shares in the Company will decrease to 20,587,314. The proposed reverse share split also means that the quota value of the share will increase from SEK 0.04 to approximately SEK 5.1.
A resolution under this item (a) to (c) shall be valid only if supported by shareholders holding at least two-thirds (2/3) of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the extraordinary general meeting.
Item 18 – Consideration of the issue whether the Company's equity has been restored
The Shareholder proposes that the general meeting shall establish that the Company’s equity is restored.
Item 19 - Resolution on a special authorisation to issue new shares
The Shareholder proposes that the general meeting authorises the board of directors to, on one or more occasions during the period from the authorisation been registered by the Swedish Companies Registration Office up and until 15 January 2024, resolve to issue new shares at the same conditions as applied for in the directed issue of shares in PMD Device Solutions AB prior to the reverse acquisition and the issue in kind announced through a press release on 29 November 2023 with the heading “Promore Pharma AB intends to carry out a reverse acquisition of PMD Device Solutions AB”. The purpose of the authorisation is to enable the Board of Directors to satisfy further interest in participating in a capital raising also after the completion of the reverse acquisition. The authorisation may be used for one or more issues corresponding in total to a maximum raise of SEK 11.5 million.
Item 20 - Resolution authorizing the liquidator or the board of directors to make minor adjustments to the resolutions adopted by the general meeting
The shareholder proposes that the general meeting authorizes the liquidator, the managing director, the new board of directors or the person the liquidator or the new board of directors otherwise appoints to make such minor adjustments and clarifications of the resolutions passed at the general meeting to the extent necessary for the registration of the resolutions.
