Proposals
Resolution to authorise the Board of Directors to issue new shares with payment in kind (item 7)
The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting authorises the Board of Directors to resolve, on one or several occasions during the period until the next Annual General Meeting, for payment in kind, to issue new shares in connection with any or all of the acquisitions of Pen Generation Inc., We-inspire Inc. and Destiny Wireless Ltd.
The purpose of the authorisation is for the Company to be able to complete the above acquisitions announced by the Company on 8 February 2016.
Resolution to authorise the Board of Directors to issue new shares and/or convertible bonds (item 8)
The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting authorizes the Board of Directors to resolve, on one or several occasions during the period until the next Annual General Meeting, with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, against cash payment, for payment in kind or by way of set-off, to issue shares and/or convertible bonds that involve the issue of or conversion into a maximum of 105,000,000 shares, corresponding to a dilution of approximately 10.0 percent of the share capital and votes, based on the current number of shares in the Company.
The purpose of the authorisation and the reason for any disapplication of the shareholders' preferential rights is for the Company to be able to issue financial instruments as consideration in connection with possible acquisitions that the Company may carry out, and also to increase the financial flexibility of the Company to finance general corporate business activities. The basis for the issue price shall be according to the prevailing market conditions at the time when shares and/or convertible bonds are issued.
A valid resolution by the General Meeting pursuant to the proposal above requires that the resolution be supported by shareholders representing at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the General Meeting.
