Approving the unauthorised issuances of special rights entitling to shares
The Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders approved the unauthorised issuances to Bracknor and Sitra of special rights entitling to 31,167,761 shares in Nexstim. The Board of Directors will be authorised to amend the existing and registered terms and conditions of the issued special rights entitling to shares.
Authorising the Board of Directors to resolve on share issues, as well as option rights and other special rights entitling to shares
The Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders authorised the Board of Directors to resolve on share issues as well as issues of option rights and other special rights entitling to shares, pursuant to Chapter 10 of the Finnish Companies Act as follows:
The shares issued under the authorisation are new or those in Nexstim's possession. Under the authorisation, a maximum number of 29,412,792 shares can be issued. Shares, options and other special rights entitling to shares can be issued in one or more tranches.
Under the authorisation, the Board of Directors may resolve upon issuing new shares to Nexstim itself. However, Nexstim, together with its subsidiaries, may not at any time own more than 10 per cent of all its registered shares.
The Board of Directors is authorised to resolve on all terms for the share issue and granting of the special rights entitling to shares. The Board of Directors is authorised to resolve on a directed share issue and issue of the special rights entitling to shares in deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive right, provided that there is a weighty financial reason for the Nexstim to do so.
The authorisation would be effective for five (5) years from the date of the resolution of the Extraordinary General Meeting. This authorisation would not replace previous authorisations granted to the Board of Directors.
Minutes of the Extraordinary General Meeting
The minutes of the Extraordinary General Meeting will be published on, or by, 6 March 2017, on Nexstim's website.
