The board of directors proposes that no dividend be paid for the financial year 2023 and that the available funds be carried forward.
Item 11. Resolution on authorization for the board of directors to decide on new issue
The board of directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to authorize the board of directors, at one or several occasions until the next Annual General Meeting, with or without deviating from the shareholder’s pre-emptive rights, to decide upon issuance of new shares, warrants and/or convertible debentures. Payment shall, apart from payment in cash, be made in kind or by set-off or otherwise with conditions.

The purpose of the proposed authorization is to increase the financial flexibility of the Company.

Upon such deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, the new issue shall be made at market terms and conditions.
The Annual General Meeting is further proposed to authorize the board of directors, the CEO or a person appointed by the board of directors to make such minor amendments in the resolution proven necessary for registration at the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
A resolution by the Annual General Meeting in accordance with the board of director’s proposal to authorize the board of directors to resolve on new issue of shares requires approval of votes cast and shares represented at the meeting representing not less than two-thirds (2/3).
