The Board proposes that the share capital is increased by SEK60,815,440 by way of a bonus issue of 12,163,088 shares of series A, in conjunction with which the amount by which the share capital is to be increased shall be transferred from the unrestricted equity according to the company’s most recently adopted balance sheet. The following main conditions shall apply to the bonus issue:
- For each old share of series A and series B, respectively, a new share of series A shall be issued.
- The record date for the bonus issue shall 14 January 2014 or such later day occurring three banking days after the resolution on the bonus issue has been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
- The new shares shall entitle to dividend from and including the current financial year.
- The above numbers may be adjusted if new shares in the company are registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office before the record date for the bonus issue.
In the event that the resolution on the share split pursuant to item 7 below is registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office before the resolution on the above proposal is registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office, the latter resolution shall cease to be valid with immediate effect.
Resolution on a share split 2:1 (item 7)
The Board proposes that all of the company’s shares are split, through which one share of series A is split into two shares of series A and one share of series B is split into two shares of series B. After the share split, each share (irrespective of share class) will have a quota value of SEK2.5.
The Board is authorised to set the record date for the share split. Such decision shall be taken before the next annual general meeting.
The resolution on the above proposal is conditional upon the resolution on the bonus issue pursuant to item 6 above not having been registered with Swedish Companies Registered Office no later than on such day the Board sets the record date for the share split.
Resolution on an authorisation for the Board to resolve on new issues (item 8)
The Board proposes that the Board is authorised, on one or more occasions during the period until next annual general meeting, to decide on issues of new shares, warrants and/or convertibles in exchange for cash payment and/or with provisions regarding payment in kind or by set-off or otherwise with conditions, and that it thereupon be possible to derogate from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights, provided that such new issue does not result in the company’s share capital or number of shares exceeding the maximum amount of share capital or maximum number of shares as set out in the company’s articles of association from time to time. The purpose of the authorisation and the reason for the derogation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights is to facilitate the raising of capital for expansion through corporate acquisitions or acquisitions of business assets and for the company’s business as well as the adjustment of the company’s capital and/or ownership structure. In the event an issue is made by way of deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights, the issue shall be made on market terms. Any issue pursuant to the authorisation shall refer to shares of series A and series B or any of them.
