Remuneration to the Company’s auditors is proposed to be paid as per approved invoice. Ernst & Young AB has announced that, in the event that the accounting firm is selected, Andreas Troberg will be the auditor in charge.

Composition of the Nomination Committee (item 11)

To compose the Nomination Committee for the annual general meeting 2020, the Nomination Committee proposes that the Meeting resolves to adopt the procedure resolved by the annual general meeting 2018. The Nomination Committee should therefore be composed as follows.

The Company shall have a Nomination Committee to prepare and present proposals to the shareholders at the annual general meeting with respect to election of chairman of the annual general meeting, chairman of the board of directors, board members, auditor, fees to the members of the board of directors and auditors and principles for the Nomination Committee. No later than eight months before the annual general meeting, the chairman of the board of directors shall contact the three largest shareholders in the Company, in terms of votes, based on information provided by Euroclear Sweden AB, and request their respective representative to the Nomination Committee.

The Nomination Committee shall internally elect the chairman, who shall not be the chairman of the board of directors. Unless the members agree otherwise, the member representing the largest shareholder shall be appointed chairman of the Nomination Committee. The composition of the Nomination Committee shall be announced no later than six months before the annual general meeting. The mandate period of the Nomination Committee shall extend until the next Nomination Committee has been appointed.

In the event that a shareholder ceases to be one of the three largest shareholders, its representative shall resign from its assignment and the shareholder who has become one of the three largest shareholders shall be given the opportunity to be part of the Company’s Nomination Committee. However, minor changes do not need to be considered. Shareholders who have appointed representatives to the Nomination Committee have the right to dismiss such member and appoint a new representative. In the event that one of the three largest shareholders choose not to participate in the work of the Nomination Committee, the subsequent largest shareholder, in terms of size of their holding, may be given the opportunity to be part of the Nomination Committee.

In the event that a member resigns from the Nomination Committee before its work is completed, the Nomination Committee shall request the shareholder who appointed such member to, within a reasonable time, not exceeding 30 days, appoint a new member of the Nomination Committee. Should the shareholder not appoint a new member, the right to appoint a new member shall be transferred to the subsequent largest shareholder, in terms of votes, who has not already appointed a member of the Nomination Committee or previously waived such right.

Amendments to the composition of the Nomination Committee shall immediately be disclosed. No remuneration shall be paid to the members for their work in the Nomination Committee.

However, the Company shall compensate the members of the Nomination Committee for reasonable costs and expenses deemed necessary to perform the work of the Nomination Committee.

Guidelines for remuneration of executive management (item 12)

Remuneration to the managing director and other member of the executive management shall consist of fixed salary, variable remuneration (where applicable), other benefits and pension. The overall remuneration shall correspond to the conditions on the market and be competitive, and reflect responsibility and authority. Variable remuneration, where applicable, shall be cash based, be based on predetermined and measurable targets and be limited to the determined target salary. The variable remuneration may never exceed the fixed salary. The total variable gross salary during 2019 before taxes and including additional social security contributions for all members of the executive management team, may as a maximum amount to 20 percent of the reported profit of the year, before taxes, depending on target achievement. In the event that the number of senior executives increases, the variable remuneration may not exceed this maximum amount.

During 2018, no variable remuneration was paid out to the members of the executive management team.

Upon termination of employment agreements by the Company, the notice period shall not exceed twelve months. Severance pay should not occur. Pension benefits shall be either of a defined benefit or a defined contribution nature or a combination of both, and shall grant the management the right to receive a pension from the age of 65.

The board of directors may deviate from these principles if there, in an individual case, are special circumstances justifying that.

The board of directors’ proposal under this item 12 is complete.

Amendment of the company’s articles of association (item 13)

To enable the new issue of shares proposed by the board of directors pursuant to item 14 the board proposes the following amendments to the articles of association.

The limits for the company’s share capital is proposed to be changed from a minimum of SEK 500,000 and maximum of SEK 2,000,000 to a minimum of SEK 1,000,000 and maximum of SEK 4,000,000 (article 4 in the articles of association).

The limits for the company’s number of shares is proposed to be changed from a minimum of SEK 5,000,000 and maximum of SEK 20,000,000 to a minimum of SEK 10,000,000 and maximum of SEK 40,000,000 (article 5 in the articles of association).

The proposal is conditional on the Meeting resolving to issue new shares according to item 14.

Approval of the board of directors’ proposed resolution regarding a new issue of shares with pre-emption rights for the shareholders (item 14) 

The board of directors proposes to increase the Company’s share capital by an amount not exceeding SEK 594,622.2 through issuance of a maximum number of 5,946,222 shares in accordance with the terms as set out below. The board of directors proposes that the Meeting approves the board of directors’ resolution. The new share issue is fully guaranteed through subscription commitments and guarantee undertakings by the Company’s two largest shareholders.

  1. The Company’s shareholders shall have pre-emption rights to subscribe for the new shares in proportion to the shares previously owned, whereby one (1) existing share shall entitle to one (1) subscription right and three (3) subscription rights shall entitle to subscription of two (2) new shares.
  2. The record date for entitlement to participate in the new share issue with pre-emption rights shall be 24 May 2019.
  3. If not all of the shares are subscribed for by exercise of subscription rights, the board of directors shall, up to the maximum amount of the share issue, resolve on allotment of shares subscribed for without the exercise of subscription rights where in such case, allotment shall be made in the following order:
    a. Those who have subscribed for new shares by the exercise of subscription rights (irrespective of whether or not they were shareholders on the record date) and have subscribed for additional shares without the exercise of subscription rights, pro rata in relation to the number of new shares subscribed for by exercise of subscription rights.

    b. Others who subscribed for shares without the exercise of subscription rights, pro rata in relation to the number of new share subscribed for.
    c. Those who have made an underwriting guarantee regarding subscription of new shares.

    To the extent allotment according to the above cannot be made pro rata, allotment shall be made by drawing of lots.

  4. Subscription of shares shall be made during the period as from 28 May up to and including 11 June 2019. The board of directors shall be entitled to extend the period for subscription.
  5. The subscription price shall be SEK 4.2 per share. Payment for subscribed shares shall be made in cash or by set-off against a claim on the company. The board of directors is authorised to determine the last day of payment. 
  6. The new shares shall entitle to dividend as from the first record date for dividend to occur after the registration of the new share issue with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and entered in the share register kept by Euroclear Sweden AB. 

The board of directors, or whomever the board of directors may appoint, shall be authorised to make such minor adjustments of the above resolution as may prove necessary in connection with the registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or Euroclear Sweden AB.  

Authorisation for the board to resolve on new issue of shares (item 15)

The board of directors proposes that the Meeting authorises the board of directors to resolve, within the limits of the Company’s articles of association, on one or more occasions, during the period until the next annual general meeting to resolve on new issue of shares, with or without derogation from the shareholders pre-emption rights. The number of shares issued pursuant to the authorisation shall correspond to an increase in the share capital of at most 10 per cent based on the total share capital in the company following registration of the resolutions adopted by the annual general meeting calculated as if the pre-emptions rights share issue in item 14 is fully subscribed. The issued shares may be subscribed in cash, in kind, by set-off or on terms as set out in Chapter 2, Section 5 of the Swedish Companies Act (Sw. aktiebolagslagen (2005:551)).

The purpose of the authorisation is to increase the financial flexibility of the Company and the acting scope of the board of directors. Should the board of directors resolve on an issue with derogation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights, the reason shall be to enable the external raising of capital for the financing of the Company’s business, commercialisation or development of the Company’s products and intellectual property rights and/or acquisitions of other companies or businesses.

Authorisation for the board of directors to make minor adjustments to the resolutions (item 16)

The board of directors proposes that the Meeting authorises the board of directors, the managing director or whomever the board of directors may appoint, to make minor adjustments and clarifications of the resolutions passed by the Meeting to the extent necessary for registration of the resolutions.
