The nomination committee, consisting of Claes-Göran Carlsson, Peter Walker, Jan Lindahl and Olli Salo proposes the following in relation to agenda 2, 9-11:

  • that Emil Hedberg, member of the Swedish Bar Association, or in case of his impediment, the person instead appointed by the board of directors, to be elected chairman of the meeting (item 2);
  • that the total remuneration for the board of directors shall be determined to SEK 220,000, of which the chairman shall be entitled to SEK 100,000 (previous year SEK 100,000) and each of the other board members shall be entitled to SEK 60,000 (previous year SEK 60,000) (item 9);
  • that the remuneration to the auditor shall be paid against approved accounts for the review of the financial reports and the administration as well as the review of the group (item 9);
  • that the board of directors shall consist of three members, and that no deputy board members shall be appointed (item 10);
  • that a registered auditing company is elected as auditor (item 10);
  • that, for the period until the end of the next annual general meeting, Peter Walker, Krister Söderholm and Claes Levin are re-elected as board members (item 11);
  • that, for the period until the end of the next annual general meeting, Peter Walker is re-elected as chairman of the board (item 11); and
  • that the accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers AB is re-elected as auditor for the period up until the end of the next annual general meeting. PricewaterhouseCoopers AB has informed that, provided that the proposal is approved by the meeting, the public accountant Martin Johansson will be auditor in charge (item 11).

The nomination committee proposes the following under item 12.

The nomination committee proposes that a nomination committee be set up for the annual general meeting 2024. The nomination committee shall prepare proposals for the annual general meeting 2024 regarding the chairman of the meeting, the number of board members to be elected by the meeting, the election of the members of the board, and the auditor, fees to the bard and the auditor and principles for the appointment of the nomination committee.

The nomination committee shall consist of four members who shall be appointed as follows. Each of the company's two largest shareholders as of 30 September 2023, shall have the right to appoint one representative, of which at most one may be a member of the board of directors who is dependent on the company's major shareholders. If both said shareholders wish to appoint a representative who is a board member and dependent in relation to the company's major shareholders, shareholders with the largest holding shall be given preference. Should one of the two largest shareholders waive their right to appoint a representative to the nomination committee as described above, the right shall be transferred to the shareholder who, after these shareholders, has the largest shareholding in the company. The member appointed by the largest shareholder shall act as the chairman and convener of the nomination committee. When the aforementioned representatives have been appointed, they shall together appoint another two persons to be included in the nomination committee, of which at least one shall represent the smaller shareholders. The said persons shall be appointed taking into account that a majority of the members of the nomination committee shall not be persons who are also members of the company's board of directors.

The composition of the nomination committee shall be made public as soon as it has been appointed and no later than six (6) months before the annual general meeting 2024. If a member represents a certain owner, the name of the owner must be stated. If the relevant ownership conditions have changed at the end of the fourth quarter of 2023, the composition of the nomination committee, if possible and if deemed necessary by the sitting nomination committee, shall be adapted to the new ownership conditions. If the member leaves the nomination committee before its work is completed, if deemed necessary by the sitting nomination committee, replacement shall be appointed by the same shareholder who appointed the departing member or, if this shareholder no longer belongs to the two (2) largest shareholders, by the new shareholder belongs to this group. Any costs incurred in the nomination process shall be borne by the company.

The board of directors' proposal regarding disposition of the earnings (item 8 b))

The board of directors proposes that no dividends shall be paid for the financial year 2022 and that the earnings for this year are carried forward.

Resolution on an issue of shares with payment through set-off (item 13)

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to carry out a new issue of shares with payment through set-off on the following terms and conditions:

  1. The company's share capital shall increase with up to SEK 18,299.976 through a new issue of up to 4,574,994 new shares.
  2. The right to subscribe to the new shares shall, with deviation from the shareholders' pre-emption rights, vest in Branten Utvikling AS, Geevintti (Risto Pietilä), KrisConsulting Oy (Krister Söderholm) and Peter Walker, whereof Branten Utvikling AS shall have the right to subscribe to 95,956 shares, Geevintti (Risto Pietilä) shall have the right to subscribe to 409,226 shares, KrisConsulting Oy (Krister Söderholm) shall have the right to subscribe to 124,096 shares and Peter Walker shall have the right to subscribe to 3,945,716 shares. The reason for not applying to the shareholders' pre-emption rights is the company's wishes to set off debts against new shares.
  3. Subscription for the new shares shall be made through by signing a subscription list no later than three banking days of the date of the resolution to issue new shares.
  4. The payment of SEK 0,55 per share shall be made through set-off in connection with the subscription. The subscription price corresponds to a premium of approximately 11 per cent of the closing price of the company's share on Nasdaq First North Growth Market on 29 May 2023. The share premium shall be transferred to the unrestricted premium reserve.
  5. The board of directors shall be entitled to extend the subscription period/period of payment.
  6. The new shares entitle the holder to a dividend for the first time on the record date for the dividend that occurs immediately after the registration of the new share issue at the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

The CEO or a person appointed by the CEO shall be authorised to make any minor adjustment required to register the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or Euroclear Sweden AB. 

The resolution requires support by shareholders holding not less than nine tenths of both the votes cast and of the shares represented at the annual general meeting.

Resolution on authorisation for the board of directors to resolve on new issue (item 14)

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting authorises the board of directors, for the period up to the next annual general meeting, on one or several occasions, to adopt resolutions to issue new shares, warrants and/or convertible debentures. New issues of shares or issues of warrants and/or convertible debentures may take place with or without preferential rights for the company's shareholders and may take place in cash and with or without provisions regarding payment in kind, by set-off or other terms and conditions.

The board of directors or a person appointed by the board of directors shall be authorised to make any minor adjustments required to register the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office. A resolution in accordance with the above requires support by shareholders holding not less than two-thirds of both the votes cast and of the shares represented at the annual general meeting.
