Item 13 – Approval of the resolution by the Board of Directors to issue new units consisting of shares and warrants with preferential rights for the shareholders
The Board of Directors proposes that the Meeting resolves to approve the Board of Directors’ resolution of 15 May 2023, on issuance of so called units, in the form of new shares and warrants giving right to subscribe for new shares, with preferential rights for the shareholders in accordance with below.
Number of units and share capital increase
The issue comprises no more than 69,958,496 new shares and no more than 34,979,248 warrants of series TO2, which may only be subscribed for and allotted together in the form of so called units where each unit consists of two (2) shares and one (1) warrant of series TO2. After the issue, the shares and the warrants will be separated. Two warrants entitles to subscription of one (1) new share in the Company.
The Company’s share capital may be increased through subscription of the new shares and through exercise of the warrants for subscription of new shares. The Company’s share capital may be increased by no more than SEK 8,744,812, out of which no more than SEK 6,995,849.6 is from the new shares and no more than SEK 1,748,962.4 is from the new shares that may be subscribed for through exercise of the warrants. The share capital increases have been calculated based on a quotient value of SEK 0.10 per share.
Right to subscribe for units
The shareholders of the Company shall have preferential rights to subscribe for units. For each share held on the record date, the shareholder receives one unit right, whereby one unit right entitles to subscribe for one unit. The record date for determining which shareholders shall be entitled to subscribe for units on a preferential basis shall be 16 June 2023.
In case not all units have been subscribed for, the Board of Directors shall decide that allotment of units subscribed for without unit rights shall take place up to the maximum amount of the issue, whereby the Board of Directors primarily will allot units to those who also subscribed for units based on unit rights, and in the event of over subscription, pro rata to their subscription based on unit rights. Secondly, the Board of Directors will allot units to those who subscribed for units without unit rights, and if full allotment cannot be made, pro rata to their subscription. To the extent not possible, allotment shall be made through drawing of lots, and finally, subject to such allocation being required in order for the issue to be fully subscribed, to the guarantors of the issue.
Subscription price of units
The subscription price is SEK 1.60 per unit, corresponding to SEK 0.80 per share. The warrants are issued free of charge. In the case of full subscription, this provides issuing proceeds of approximately MSEK 56.
The share premium shall be transferred to the unrestricted premium reserve.
Subscription and payments of units
Subscription for units based on unit rights shall be made through payment in cash during the period from 20 June 2023 until, and including 7 July 2023. The Board of Directors shall be entitled to extend the subscription period.
Subscription without unit rights shall be made through notice on special application form during the period from 20 June 2023 until, and including 7 July 2023. The Board of Directors shall be entitled to extend the subscription period. Payment for units shall be made at the latest three business days following the date of the dispatch of a contract note to the subscriber, specifying allocation of units, or such later date as the Board of Directors may decide.
Trading with unit rights is expected to take place during the period from 20 June 2023 until, and including 4 July 2023. Trading in BTU (Paid Subscribed Units) is expected to take place from 20 June 2023 until, around week 30 2023.
Subscription and subscription price of new shares subscribed for through exercise of warrants
Subscription of new shares through exercise of warrants may be made during the period from and including 2 January 2025 up to and including 31 January 2025.
Two (2) warrants entitle the holder to subscribe for one (1) new share in the Company at a subscription price per share (the “Exercise Price”) corresponding to the higher of (i) 70 percent of the volume weighted average trading price of the company’s share on Nasdaq First North Growth Market during a period of 10 trading days immediately preceding the subscription period, however no more than SEK 2 per share, and (ii) the quotient value of the share at the time of exercise of warrants. The part of the Exercise Price exceeding the quota value of the Company’s shares shall be allocated to the unrestricted share premium fund. If no trading price is recorded for a particular trading day within the specified period, such day shall not be taken into account, but the period shall instead be extended backwards in time with the number of previous trading days required for the period to comprise a total of 10 trading days with a recorded trading price. The Exercise Price calculated in accordance with above shall be rounded off to two decimals, where SEK 0.005 shall be rounded upwards.
Right to dividends of new shares
The new shares shall entitle to dividends as from the first record date for dividends following registration of the new shares with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
Miscellaneous
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 or Euroclear Sweden AB.
The resolution on a rights issue is conditional upon that the Articles of Association are amended according to item 12 above.
Item 14 – Resolution on authorisation for the Board of Directors to resolve on a new share issue
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolve on authorisation for the Board of Directors to, within the limits of the applicable Articles of Association, with or without deviating from the shareholders' preferential rights, on one or more occasions during the period until the next Annual General Meeting, resolve on an increase in the Company's share capital through a new issue of shares in the Company. The purpose of the authorisation and the reasons for any deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is that new issues should be able to take place in order to increase the Company's financial flexibility and the Board's capacity for action, to be able to broaden the shareholder base in the Company and to be able to finance any business mergers and acquisitions of operations or businesses that the Company may carry out.
The total number of shares to be issued by in accordance with the authorisation shall not be limited in any other way than by the limits of the share capital and the number of shares included in the Company's Articles of Association registered at any time. The issues shall be carried out at a market-based subscription price, subject to a market-based issue discount where applicable, and payment shall be made through cash payment, with property in kind or by set-off, or with other conditions.
The Board of Directors or a person appointed by the Board of Directors shall authorised to make the minor adjustments required for the registration of the resolution at the Swedish Companies Registration Office. For a valid resolution in accordance with the Board's proposal, the resolution must be supported by shareholders with at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the Meeting.
Information on the number of shares and votes
At the time of issue of this notice, the total number of shares and votes in the Company amounts to 34,979,248.
