Authorisation on issues of shares, warrants and convertible instruments
The annual general meeting resolved to authorise the board to, at one or several occasions during the period up until the next annual general meeting, with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, resolve upon the issuance of new shares, warrants and/or convertible instruments. The reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights shall, in such case, be to satisfy the company's capital needs, secure the company's continued operations and development, and enable future acquisitions. The board of directors shall have the right to resolve that payments shall be made in in cash, in kind, through set-off or otherwise with conditions. In the event that new shares are issued with deviation from the shareholder’s preferential rights, the new share issue shall be carried out on market terms. The authorisation shall be limited so that the board of directors may not resolve upon issues of shares, convertibles or warrants that entail that the total number of shares that are issued, issued through conversion of convertibles or issued through exercise of warrants exceeds 10 per cent of the total number of shares in the company at the time the board of directors exercises the authorisation for the first time.

Acquisitions may be made of a maximum of so many shares that the company’s holding of treasury shares, following the acquisition, amounts to a maximum of 10 per cent of all shares in the company. Acquisitions of treasury shares shall be made on Nasdaq Stockholm. Acquisitions of treasury shares shall be made at a price per share within the at each time prevailing price interval for the shares on Nasdaq Stockholm. Payment for acquired treasury shares shall be made in cash. Transfers may be made of treasury shares held by the company at the time of the board of directors’ resolution to transfer the shares. Transfers of treasury shares may be made by other means than on Nasdaq Stockholm. Transfers of treasury shares shall be made at market terms. Payment for treasury shares transferred may be made in cash, in-kind or by set-off. Transfers of treasury shares may be made with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights. The reason for an acquisition or a transfer of treasury shares, and the reason for any transfer with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, shall be to: (i) optimise the company’s capital structure or (ii) use the shares as consideration (including earn-out consideration) in connection with, or as financing of, acquisitions of companies or businesses.
