Exemption from the obligation to bid

Gryningskust Holding AB (“Gryningskust”), who owns shares corresponding to approximately 13,98 per cent of the total number of shares and votes in the Company, has in connection to the rights issue entered into a subscription- and guarantee commitment with the Company. The subscription and guarantee undertakings, together with the other subscription and guarantee undertakings, secure the initial proceeds of the rights issue up to approximately 80 per cent. The Swedish Securities Council (Sw. Aktiemarknadsnämnden) has granted Gryningskust an exemption from the mandatory bid obligation with regards to subscription of shares and warrants that take place in accordance with the aforementioned subscription and guarantee undertakings and when exercising the warrants for share subscription. Conditions for the Swedish Securities Council’s decision to grant Gryningskust an exemption from the mandatory bid obligation are that the shareholders, before the general meeting, are informed of the capital and voting rights that Gryningskust can receive as a result of its guarantee undertaking, and that the resolution on the rights issue is approved by shareholders holding not less than two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the general meeting, excluding the shares held and represented by Gryningskust at the general meeting.

The maximum portion of the capital and voting rights that Gryningskust can receive in case the guarantee undertaking should be utilised in full and the warrants exercised in full is 46,69 percent, provided that no one else exercises warrants and further provided that no other guarantor elects to receive guarantee compensation in units.

Item 8 – Resolution on reduction of the share capital

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves on a reduction of the Company’s share capital by a maximum of SEK 72,300,710.40. The reduction amount shall be allocated as non-restricted equity.

The reduction of the share capital shall be determined to an amount in SEK corresponding to the part of the increase of the share capital, according to the resolution on a new issue of units in item 7 on the agenda, that is attributable to the increase due to newly issued shares, with relevant adjustment to achieve an appropriate quota value.

The reduction shall be carried out without the withdrawal of shares by amending the share's quota value.

The resolution is conditional upon the rights issue according to item 7 on the agenda being registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office, which means an increase in the share capital attributable to newly issued shares by an amount not less than SEK 72,300,710.40.

The board of director’s report according to Chapter 20, Section 23, fourth paragraph of the Swedish Companies Act

The reduction is carried out so that the board's resolution on 22 June 2023 on the issue of units with preferential rights for existing shareholders should not result in the Company's share capital or restricted equity becoming disproportionately high. Since neither the share capital nor the restricted equity will be reduced in relation to what it was at the time of the resolution, the Company may execute the reduction decision without permission from the Swedish Companies Registration Office or the general court.

The CEO, or the person appointed by the board, shall have the right to make the minor adjustments required to register the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear AB.

Item 9 – Resolution on authorization

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting authorizes the board of directors to, on one or several occasions during the period up to the next annual general meeting, increase the Company’s share capital within the limits of the articles of association. The authorization may only be used for issues of units and/or shares and/or warrants to guarantors in the rights issue proposed to be approved in item 7 above. If the board of directors resolves on an issue with support of the authorization, it may be resolved with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights and/or by an issue in kind or by way of set-off.

The reason for the proposal that the board of directors shall be authorized in accordance to the above is that the Company shall be able to comply with its obligations under agreements with guarantees by reason of the rights issue above.

The CEO, or the person appointed by the board, shall have the right to make the minor adjustments required to register the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear AB.

Majority requirements

A resolution in accordance with the proposals under item 6, 8 and 9 above requires that it is supported by shareholders representing at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.

In order for the Swedish Securities Council’s exemption from the mandatory bid obligation for Gryningskust Holding AB to be valid, it is further required that the proposal under item 7 above on a resolution to approve the board of director’s resolution on 22 June 2023 on the issue of units with preferential rights for existing shareholders are supported by shareholders representing at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting, excluding the shares held and represented by Gryningskust at the general meeting.

The shareholders’ right to information at the general meeting

The board of directors and the CEO shall, upon request by any shareholder, and where the board of directors deems that such information may be provided without significant harm to the Company, provide information in respect of any circumstances which may affect the assessment of a matter on the agenda.
