The reason for that deviation from the shareholders ' preferential rights shall be permitted is to enable the company to raise working capital, to execute acquisitions of companies or operating assets as well as to enable issues to industrial partners within the framework of partnerships and alliances. The total number of ordinary shares that may be issued pursuant to the authorization (alternatively be issued through conversion of convertibles and/or exercise of warrants) shall be limited to a number that leads to a maximum dilution of 20 per cent (calculated after full utilization of the now proposed authorizations) of the total number of ordinary shares outstanding in the company at the time of the first issue resolution pursuant to the authorization. To the extent an issue is made with deviation from the shareholders ' preferential rights, the issue should be made on market terms.

The board of directors resolved, at the annual shareholders ' meeting, to withdraw the proposal for a long-term incentive program since the company had been informed that larger shareholders intended to vote against the proposal, which would result in the required majority requirement not being achieved.

Resolution on authorization for the board of directors regarding transfer of own ordinary shares
The annual general meeting resolved in accordance with the proposal from the board of directors to authorize the board of directors to, for the period up until the next annual general meeting, re-solve on transfer of not more than 9,550 own ordinary shares, for the purpose of hedging cash flow for social security payments that may occur in relation to LTI 2022.

The number of shares that may be transferred shall be subject to recalculation in consequence of an intervening bonus issue, split or reverse split, rights issue, and/or other similar corporate actions which affects the number of shares in the company. Transfer of shares may also be effected outside Nasdaq Stockholm, with or without deviation from the shareholders ' preferential rights. Such transfers may be made at a price corresponding to the market price at the time of the transfer of the ordinary shares transferred, with the deviation deemed appropriate by the board of directors.
