THE BOARD OF DIRECTOR´S PROPOSALS (ITEM 8B AND ITEMS 15-17)
Resolution on allocation of the company´s result according to the adopted balance sheet (item 8b)
The board of directors proposes that the accumulated loss of SEK -121,603,905 (share premium reserve of SEK 458,626,956, accumulated loss of SEK -245,020,279 and profit for the year of SEK -335,210,582) be carried forward.
Resolution on related party transaction (item 15)
The Swedish Securities Council has in their ruling AMN 2019:25 that, among other things, stated that companies whose shares are admitted to trading on Nasdaq First North Growth Market shall submit the issue of certain related party transactions to the annual general meeting for approval.
Due to the ruling, the board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to approve an assignment agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”) entered into between the company and the chairman of the board, Per Anders Wärn, dated 5 April 2024, but subject to the approval of the annual general meeting, in essence as follows.
Description of the assignment
Per Anders Wärn shall assist management in the day-to-day operations regarding the establishment of a joint venture and sales activities.
Per Anders Wärn shall receive compensation from the company for his work in the amount of SEK 1,000 per hour excluding VAT and for certain expenses in connection therewith.
The company shall be able to purchase services according to the Assignment Agreement from Per Anders Wärn at a maximum amount of SEK 500,000 excluding VAT and expenses.
Related party transaction
As a member of the board, Per Anders Wärn, qualifies as a related party according to the Swedish Securities Council’s ruling AMN 2019:25.
Proposal for decision
The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting approves the conclusion of the Assignment Agreement.
Majority requirements
The resolution requires the support from shareholders representing more than half of the votes cast at the meeting, however, that the shares and votes held, directly or indirectly, by Per Anders Wärn shall not be considered.
Resolution to amend the articles of association (item 16)
The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to amend the articles of association for the company in order to enable the company to hold general meetings digitally in the future by introducing a new §9 in the articles of association with the wording as follows.
§9 Digital General Meeting
The company's board of directors may decide that the general meeting shall be held digitally.
The current §§9–12 will consequently be changed to §§10-13.
The board of directors, or a person appointed by the board of directors, shall have the right to decide on such minor adjustments to the annual general meeting's resolution as may be required in connection with the registration to the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
Resolution on authorization for the board of directors (item 17)
The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to authorize the board of directors as follows.
The board of directors shall be authorized, on one or more occasions, until the next annual general meeting, to resolve on issue of shares, and/or warrants and/or convertibles in accordance as follows.
Issues may be made with or without deviation from the shareholders´ preferential rights. By resolution based on the authorization, a maximum of so many shares may be issued in connection with a new issue of shares, in connection with subscription for shares through the exercise of warrants and/or in connection with conversion of convertibles corresponding to 25 percent of the number of outstanding shares in the company (which does not prevent warrants and/or convertibles from being combined with recalculation conditions which, if applied, may result in a different number of shares).
The shares may be subscribed for in cash, in kind, with the right of set-off or on terms and conditions in accordance with Chapter 2, Section 5 of the Companies Act.
