The board of directors' proposed resolutions
The board of directors of the Company has presented the following proposed resolutions in relation to items 1 and 6 in the proposed agenda.
Item 1. Election of chairman
Items 6. Resolution on an approval of the board of directors' resolution on issuance of new shares with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights
As communicated in the Company's press releases from
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves on an approval of the board of directors' resolution to increase the Company's share capital by up to
The following terms and conditions shall apply to the issue of shares.
- The subscription price per share is
SEK 0.0625 . - With deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, the new shares may only be subscribed for by institutional, and other qualified, investors.
-
Subscription for new shares shall be made on a separate subscription list no later than
16 October 2023 . Payment for the subscribed shares shall be made no later than on18 October 2023 . The board of directors shall be entitled to extend the subscription period and the time of payment. - The new shares convey right to dividends for the first time on the first record date set for dividends after the registration of the new shares with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
Oversubscription cannot take place.
The rationale for carrying out the share issue is to secure financing of the Company's operations and previously communicated strategy shift. The board of directors has made an overall assessment and carefully considered the possibility to raise capital through a rights issue with preferential right for the Company's existing shareholders. The board of directors considers that the reasons for deviating from the shareholders' preferential right are (i) that a rights issue would take a significantly longer time to complete and entail a higher risk for an adverse effect on the share price, particularly in light of the current market volatility and the challenging market conditions, (ii) to diversify and strengthen the Company's shareholder base with institutional investors, (iii) to carry out a directed share issue can be made at lower costs and with less complexity than a rights issue and in light of the current market conditions, the board of directors has assessed that a rights issue would also require external underwriting from a guarantor syndicate that would entail additional significant costs. Considering the above, the board of directors has made the assessment that a directed share issue with deviation from the shareholders' preferential right is the most favourable alternative for the Company to finance the announced new strategy, creates value for the Company and is in the best interest of the Company's shareholders. The board of directors thus considers that the reasons outweigh the main rule that new share issues are to be carried out with preferential rights for the shareholders.
The board of directors' assessment is that the subscription price in the share issue is in accordance with market terms and conditions, since it has been determined through an accelerated book-building procedure, and taking into account that the Company will receive an unconditional capital contribution in connection with the completion of the share issue.
The CEO of the Company is hereby authorised to make such minor formal adjustments to the issue resolution, which may be required for registration of the new shares with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or
