PROPOSALS FOR RESOLUTIONS
Chair of the AGM (item 2)
The Nomination Committee proposes that Chair of the Board Fredrik Rapp be elected as Chair of the AGM or, in the event he is prevented from participating, the person appointed by the Nomination Committee.
Allocation of the company’s profit (item 9)
The Board of Directors proposes that no dividend be paid for the financial year 2024 and that the available funds be carried forward.
Board of Directors, Auditor and fees (items 11–13)
The Nomination Committee proposes:
» That the Board of Directors shall consist of six members.
» That remuneration to the Board of Directors shall amount in total to SEK 1,665,000, to be distributed with SEK 365,000 to the Chair of the Board and SEK 260,000 each to other Board members.
» That SEK 20,000 shall be paid to each member of the Remuneration Committee and that SEK 35,000 shall be paid to the members of the Audit Committee and SEK 70,000 to the Chair of the Audit Committee.
» That fees to the Auditor shall be paid against specified invoices, reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors.

» Re-election of Fredrik Rapp as Chair of the Board.
» Re-election of KPMG AB as the Auditor of the company for the time until the closing of the 2026 AGM.
Nomination Committee (item 14)
Shareholders jointly representing more than 80 per cent of the votes for all shares in the company propose that the AGM adopts revised instructions for the Nomination Committee.
Remuneration report (item 15)
The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM approves the remuneration report for the 2024 financial year.
Authorisation for repurchase and transfer of own shares (item 16)
The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM renews the Board’s authorisation to decide on the repurchase and transfer of the company’s own shares. Such a mandate would authorise the Board to make decisions regarding the repurchase of the company’s shares during the period until the next AGM.
Any such repurchase could be effected both via the stock market and by offers to the shareholders. The proposal is that the mandate to the Board should also include the scope for assigning repurchased shares within the constraints of relevant legislation.
In order for the resolution to be valid, it must be supported by shareholders representing at least two thirds of the votes cast as well as the shares represented at the AGM.
Authorisation for new share issue (item 17)
The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM renews the Board’s authorisation to decide on a new issue of Class B shares corresponding to a maximum of one tenth of the company’s issued shares. Such a mandate would entail the Board being able to make a decision on a new share issue during the period until the next AGM. The terms of the issue, including the issue price, must be based on a market assessment in which the issue price in each case is set as close to the market value as possible, less the discount which may be necessary to generate interest in the subscription.
In order for the resolution to be valid, it must be supported by shareholders representing at least two thirds of the votes cast as well as the shares represented at the AGM.
