Item 6 – Resolution to approve the Company’s acquisition of Noviga Research AB.

The Company has entered into an agreement with the shareholders (the "Sellers") in Noviga Research AB, corporate identity number 556725-0450 (“Noviga”), that the Company shall acquire all shares in Noviga. The Board of Directors proposes that the Extraordinary General Meeting resolves to approve the acquisition of all shares in Noviga.

The agreed purchase price for the shares in Noviga shall be paid by the Sellers subscribing for and being allocated 68,231,663 shares in the Company. The agreement is conditional on, inter alia, the Extraordinary General Meeting resolving to adopt new articles of association in accordance with item 7 below and the issue in kind in accordance with item 8 below.

Item 7 - Resolution on adoption of new articles of association

The Board of Directors proposes that the Extraordinary General Meeting, in order to enable the proposed issue in kind according to item 8 and conditional upon this, resolves to adopt new articles of association where the provision on the limits of the share capital in § 4 is amended to not less than 3,604,000 and not more than 14,416,000 and the provision on the number of shares in § 5 is amended to not less than 68,000,000 and not more than 272,000,000 shares. The Board of Directors proposes that the provision regarding the Company’s registered office in § 2 is changed to Gothenburg.

Furthermore, in order to reflect the Company’s operations after the acquisition of Noviga, the board of directors proposes that the provision on the description of the business in § 3 is changed to “The Company shall, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, conduct research, development, production and out-licensing of pharmaceuticals and activities compatible therewith” (Sw. Bolaget ska direkt eller indirekt genom dotterbolag bedriva forskning, utveckling, framtagning och utlicensiering av läkemedel och därmed förenlig verksamhet).

The Board of Directors proposes that each of the Board members and the CEO shall be authorised to make any minor amendments and clarifications of the Extraordinary General Meeting’s resolution that are required in connection with the registration of the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

Item 8 - Resolution on issue in kind

The Board of Directors proposes that the Extraordinary General Meeting resolves that the Company’s share capital shall be increased by not more than SEK 3,616,278.139 through a new issue of not more than 68,231,663 shares, in order to finance the Company’s acquisition of Noviga in accordance with item 6 above.

The resolution shall otherwise be subject to the following conditions:

1. The new shares may only be subscribed for by the shareholders of Noviga, whereby payment for subscribed shares shall be made by contribution of shares in Noviga. The new shares will be allocated to the shareholders of Noviga in proportion to their pro-rata share in Noviga.
2. Payment for subscribed shares shall be made by contribution in kind consisting of a total of all shares in Noviga. Payment for subscribed shares in the form of the contribution in kind shall be made simultaneously with the subscription. The value at which the contribution in kind has been recognised in the Board of Directors’ report pursuant to Chapter 13, Section 7 of the Swedish Companies Act corresponds to a subscription price per share of approximately SEK 0.37. However, the final value at which the contribution in kind will be recognised in the Companys’s balance sheet and the subscription price will, in accordance with applicable accounting rules, be finally determined based on the share price at the so-called transaction date and may therefore deviate from the calculated value stated in the Board of Directors’ report. The premium shall be added to the unrestricted share premium account.
3. Subscription shall be made on a separate subscription list at the same time as the acquisition of the shares in Noviga is completed, but no later than 27 March 2024. The Board of Directors shall be entitled to extend the subscription period.
4. Oversubscription cannot be made.
5. The new shares shall entitle to dividends from the time the shares are registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB.
6. The Board of Directors, or the person appointed by the Board of Directors, is authorised to make such minor adjustments to this resolution as may prove necessary in connection with registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or Euroclear Sweden AB.

The resolution under this item 8 is conditional upon the Extraordinary General Meeting also resolving to acquire shares in Noviga in accordance with item 6 above and to amend the articles of association in accordance with item 7 above.

Application of the Leo rules

Since persons who fall under Chapter 16, Section 2 of the Swedish Companies Act are included in the group of persons entitled to subscribe for shares, the issue is subject to the so-called Leo rules (Chapter 16 of the Swedish Companies Act).

Valuation statement

The Company has prepared a valuation report regarding the market value of the shares for the Extraordinary General Meeting. A copy of the final valuation assessment will be available at the Company’s website and at the office of the Company, no later than in connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting.

The Board of Directors proposes that the Extraordinary General Meeting authorises the Board of Directors to, on one or more occasions during the period until the next Annual General Meeting, with or without preferential rights for the shareholders, decide on an issue of shares. It shall be possible for the issue to take place with or without regulation on payment in cash, non-cash contributions, set-off or other conditions. The number of shares that it shall be possible to issue can amount to a maximum of a number equivalent to thirty-five per cent of the total number of shares in the Company at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting. The issue price shall be market-based. The aim of the authorisation is to enable acquisition of working capital with the objective to strengthen the ownership structure, be able to accelerate development projects and also to facilitate share issues for industrial partners within the framework of collaborations and alliances.

The Board of Directors proposes that each of the Board members and the CEO shall be authorised to make any minor amendments and clarifications of the Extraordinary General Meeting’s resolution that are required in connection with the registration of the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB.

The resolution replaces the previous resolution on authorisation taken at the 2023 Annual General Meeting.
