Item 12            Election of the board of directors

It is proposed that the board of directors shall consist of five ordinary members and no deputies. Dr. Johanna Fälting and Gisli Hennermark are proposed to be new-elected as members of the Board. It is proposed that the Board members Ann-Christine Sundell, Staffan Persson and Jan Bertus Marten Warntjes be re-elected. Staffan Persson is proposed as the new Chairman of the Board. Petra Apell and Johan Sedihn have declined re-election.

With regard to relationships of dependence, the nomination committee makes the following assessment: All members apart from Jan Bertus Marten Warntjes are considered independent in relation to the company and its management. All members except Staffan Persson are considered independent in relation to owners holding more than ten percent of the total number of votes and shares.

Dr. Johanna Fälting, born 1972, PhD in Physiology and a Master of Science at Stockholm University. Johanna is Chief Research Officer at BioArctic and has held various leading positions within BioArctic for the past eleven years. Prior to that, she was in AstraZeneca's R&D department.

Item 13            Election of the auditor

Proposal for the new-election of the registered accounting firm Earnst & Young AB as auditor until the end of the next annual general meeting. Earnst & Young AB has announced that they intend that Clas Tegidius will be the main auditor for SyntheticMR AB.

Item 14            Resolution on the nomination committee

It is proposed that the annual general meeting instructs the chair of the board to contact the three largest shareholders (hereby both registered shareholders and nominee-registered shareholders) in accordance with Euroclear Sweden AB's printout of the share register as of 30 September 2024. Each such shareholder or group of shareholders shall have the opportunity to appoint a representative to be member of the nomination committee for the period until the new nomination committee has been appointed according to the mandate from the next annual general meeting. In addition, the members of the nomination committee shall have the right to deputize the chair of the board to the nomination committee, if deemed desirable.

In the event that one of the three largest shareholders do not wish to appoint such a representative, the fourth largest shareholder shall be asked and so on until the nomination committee consists of three members (deputy chair of the board not included). However, if several shareholders waive their right to appoint a member to the nomination committee, no more than the ten largest shareholders need to be asked.

The majority of the members of the nomination committee must be independent in relation to the company and the company management. At least one of the nomination committee's members must be independent in relation to the largest shareholder in the company in terms of voting rights. The managing director or other person from the company management should not be a member of the nomination committee. Board members may be included in the nomination committee but shall not constitute a majority of its members. If more than one board member is a member of the nomination committee, at most one of them may be dependent on the company's larger shareholders, which represents more than ten percent of the total number of shares.

The nomination committee appoints the chair of the committee. The member representing the largest owner shall be appointed as chair of the committee unless the members of the nomination committee agree otherwise.

The composition of the nomination committee must be announced no later than six months before the next annual general meeting for 2025 on the company's website. If a member leaves the nomination committee before its work is completed and if the nomination committee considers that there is a need to replace this member, the nomination committee shall appoint a new member according to the principles above, but based on Euroclear Sweden AB's printing of the share book as soon as possible after the member has left his position. Changes in the composition of the nomination committee shall be announced immediately. No fees shall be paid to the members for their work in the nomination committee. If necessary, the company should be able to bear reasonable costs for the work of the nomination committee.

The nomination committee shall submit proposals to the chair of the board and other board members as well as fees and other remuneration for board of directors' assignments to each of the board members. The nomination committee shall also submit proposals for the election and remuneration of the auditor, the chair of the annual general meeting and principles for the appointment of the nomination committee for the next annual general meeting.

Proposal for resolutions from the board of directors

Item 9 b           Resolution on disposals of the company's profit according to the established balance sheet for 2023

The board of directors proposes to the annual general meeting that no dividend is paid. The capitalized funds of SEK 91,016,542, including the share premium reserve and retained earnings, are transferred in new accounts.

Item 15            Resolution on changes to Incentive Program TO 3

The board of directors of SyntheticMR AB (publ) proposes that the annual general meeting resolves on changes to Incentive Program TO 3 which was adopted by the extraordinary general meeting held on 20 February 2024, and on the issuance of warrants to implement such changes, as set forth below.

The intended participant is no longer employed by the group. No warrants comprised by Incentive Program TO 3 have been subscribed and the board of directors deems it appropriate to utilize Incentive Program TO 3 to instead incentivize the President of its U.S. subsidiary. The board therefore proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to change Incentive Program TO 3 to the effect that the program shall instead be directed to the President of the company’s U.S. subsidiary. Other terms of Incentive Program TO 3 shall remain unchanged (noting however that subscription of the warrants to be issued under the issue resolution set forth below, replacing the warrants already issued, shall occur following the annual general meeting and at the latest on 30 June 2024). 

For further information regarding the rationale of the program, an estimated market value of the warrants, dilutive effects, estimated costs, and other terms and conditions for the incentive program including with respect to the warrant agreement to govern the participant’s holding of warrants, please refer to the board’s proposal for the decision on Incentive Program TO 3 under item 8 in the notice to attend the extraordinary general meeting held on 20 February 2024, available at the company’s website https://SyntheticMR.com/investors/corporate-governance/.

Issuance of warrants

The company shall issue a maximum of 150,000 warrants of series TO 3, each entitling the holder to subscribe for one (1) new share in the company with a quota value of SEK 0.0222 per share (at the time of this proposal). In the event that all warrants of series TO 3 are subscribed and exercised, the share capital may increase by a maximum of SEK 3,330 (subject to potential adjustments in accordance with the terms and conditions of the warrants). The right to subscribe for the warrants shall, with deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive rights, only belong to the President of the company’s U.S. subsidiary (U.S. tax resident). The warrants shall be issued free of charge. The reason for deviating from the pre-emptive rights of the shareholders is that the warrants are intended to be used within the context of the revised incentive program. Subscription of warrants shall be made by subscription on a subscription list during the period from and including the date of the annual shareholders' meeting’s issue resolution until and including 30 June 2024. The board shall have the right to prolong the subscription period. Subscription for new shares with support of the warrants may be made from the earlier of the day following the announcement of the company's annual financial statement for the financial year 2026 and 1 April 2027, but no earlier than 1 February 2027, and no later than 30 June 2027 at a subscription price per new share of SEK 36.60 (corresponding to 140 percent of the average volume-weighted trading price during the period from 21 February 2024 until and including 5 March 2024).

The warrants shall also be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the board of directors’ complete proposal.

Preparation

The proposal has been prepared by the company's board of directors in consultation with legal advisors and major shareholders. The board has subsequently decided to present this proposal for decision at the annual general meeting.

Special Authorization

The board, the chairman of the board, or the person appointed by the board, shall have the right to make minor adjustments to the above proposal that may prove necessary in connection with the registration of the above resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and any Euroclear Sweden registration of the warrants.

Majority Requirement

The resolution is subject to Chapter 16 of the Companies Act and requires the support of shareholders representing at least nine-tenths of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the annual general meeting.

Number of shares and votes

Upon publication of this notice, the total number of shares and votes in the company amount to 41,688,280. The company does not hold any own shares.

Documents etc.

Copies of the annual report and the auditor's report regarding the financial year 2023 will be available no later than three weeks prior to the annual general meeting.
