The nomination committee shall consist of three members. The members shall be appointed by the chair of the board contacting the three largest shareholders by voting power at the end of the third quarter each year. Each of these is asked to appoint one member.
If any of the shareholders contacted does not wish to appoint a member, the matter shall pass to the next shareholder until three owner representatives have been appointed or until all shareholders with holdings exceeding 5% of voting power have been contacted. If three members cannot be recruited as set out above, the chair of the board shall form part of the nomination committee.
The chair of the Company shall thereafter convene a constituent meeting of the nomination committee.
The composition of the nomination committee shall be published no later than six months before the annual general meeting. The nomination committee's mandate shall apply until a new nomination committee has been constituted. The nomination committee shall appoint a chair from among its members.
Should a member resign, a replacement shall be sought from the same shareholder. Should a shareholder that has appointed a member of the nomination committee materially reduce its holding in the Company, the next shareholder by size shall, if the nomination committee so decides, be offered to appoint a member of the nomination committee. Any changes in the composition of the nomination committee shall be published immediately by the Company.
The nomination committee shall, ahead of the annual general meeting, submit proposals regarding the following:
The nomination committee's proposals shall be presented in connection with the notice of the annual general meeting or any other general meeting at which elections of the board or auditors, and resolutions on fees to such, are to be held, and on the Company's website, however no later than one month before the said meeting. The nomination committee's term of office runs until a new nomination committee has been appointed. The nomination committee proposes that remuneration shall only be paid for direct costs in connection with the assignment.
The Nomination Committee Instruction shall apply until a resolution on changes to the procedure for appointing the nomination committee is adopted by the general meeting.
Resolution on amendment of the articles of association (item 13)
The Board proposes that the general meeting resolves to amend the company's articles of association in accordance with the following:
§ 4 Share capital and number of shares
Current wording
The share capital shall be no less than SEK 9,928,000 and no more than SEK 39,712,000. The number of shares shall be no less than 116,800,000 and no more than 467,200,000.
Proposed wording
The share capital shall be no less than SEK 1,609,831.49 and no more than SEK 6,439,325.96. The number of shares shall be no less than 160,983,149 and no more than 643,932,596.
Following the amendments, the articles of association shall have the wording set out in the complete proposed resolution.
The resolution is conditional upon the general meeting also resolving in accordance with the Board's proposed resolution on reduction of the share capital.
____________________
A valid resolution requires the support of shareholders representing at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the general meeting.
The company's CEO shall be authorised to make such minor formal adjustments to the resolution as may prove necessary in connection with registration of the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Bolagsverket).
Resolution on reduction of the share capital (item 14)
The Board proposes that the general meeting resolves on a reduction of the Company's share capital in accordance with Appendix 3. The proposal entails that the share capital be reduced by SEK 12,073,736.175, from SEK 13,683,567.665 to SEK 1,609,831.49, for allocation to unrestricted equity. The reduction is carried out without cancellation of shares. The quota value (kvotvärde) is thereby changed from approximately SEK 0.085 per share to SEK 0.01 per share.
The resolution is conditional upon the general meeting also resolving on the amendment of the articles of association under item 13. The reduction requires the consent of the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Bolagsverket) or a general court.
A valid resolution requires the support of shareholders representing at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.
