The annual general meeting also resolved to re-elect Ernst & Young AB as audit firm and that remuneration for the auditor shall be paid in accordance with invoiced amounts in accordance with customary charging standards. Ernst & Young AB has informed that Ola Larsmon will continue to be appointed as the responsible auditor.

Authorization for the Board regarding issues

The annual general meeting resolved in accordance with the Board’s proposal to authorize the Board, at one or several occasions, during the time up until the next annual general meeting, with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, and with or without provisions regarding payment in kind or through set-off or other provisions, to resolve to issue new shares, convertibles and/or warrants. The total number of shares that that may be issued (alternatively be issued through conversion of convertibles and/or exercise of warrants) shall not exceed 12,899,931 shares, which corresponds to a dilution of approximately 20 percent calculated on the current number of shares in the company. The purpose of the authorization and reason for any deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights is to enable the company to raise working capital, to execute acquisitions of companies or operating assets as well as to enable issues to industrial partners within the framework of partnerships and alliances. To the extent an issue is made with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, the issue should be made on market terms.

Hedging measures relating to the share saving program LTI 2021 including (A) authorization on directed issues of series C shares, (B) authorization on repurchase of series C shares, and (C) transfer of own ordinary shares

The annual general meeting resolved in accordance with the Board’s proposals on hedging measures to secure delivery of shares under the long-term performance-based share saving program for senior executives and other key employees resolved by the 2021 annual general meeting (LTI 2021) and to hedge associated costs, such as social security charges, with the purpose to replace the share swap resolved by the 2021 annual general meeting.

The resolutions include authorizing the Board, for the period up until the next annual general meeting, on one or several occasions, to resolve to issue a maximum of 639,572 series C shares which, with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, may only be subscribed for by a bank or a securities company at a subscription price which corresponds to the quota value of the shares, as well as authorizing the board to repurchase its own series C shares and to approve transfer of own ordinary shares to the participants in LTI 2021.
