Authorization for the board of directors to resolve on new issues of shares
The meeting resolved, in accordance with the board of directors’ proposal, to authorize the board of directors, on one or several occasions, until the next annual general meeting, to resolve on issues of new shares, and that such new issue can be performed with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights. The board of directors is entitled to resolve on share issues causing an increase of the company's share capital of at most ten percent of the company's registered share capital at the time the board of directors first utilizes the authorization.

Upon exercise of all warrants/employee stock options issued within the frame of LTI 2022, up to 25,000,000 shares may be issued, equivalent to a maximum dilution of approximately 2.9 per cent of the shares and votes of the company. Upon full exercise of the warrants, the company’s share capital will increase with SEK 250,000.
The calculations above have been based on the number of shares and votes in the company as of the date of the notice.
