The Board of Directors proposes that the Extraordinary General Meeting resolves to approve the Board of Directors’ resolution of 26 February 2024 on a new issue of no more than 40,183,173 new shares, leading to an increase of share capital of no more than SEK 2,009,158.65, and an issue of no more than 13,394,391 warrants of series TO4, entitling to subscribe for a total of 13,394,391 shares in the Company, leading to an increase of the share capital of no more than SEK 669,719.55.

The issues are treated as one resolution and are carried out by issuing so-called units with preferential rights for existing shareholders (the “Rights Issue”) and on the following conditions.

The right to subscribe for shares in the Rights Issue shall, with preferential rights, rest with those who are registered as shareholders of the Company on the record date of the issue. Each shareholder shall have a preferential right to subscribe for shares in proportion to the number of shares previously held by the shareholder.

Twelve (12) unit rights entitle the holder to subscribe for one (1) unit. One (1) unit consists of three (3) new shares and one (1) warrant of series TO4.

Subscription can only be made for units and thus not for shares or warrants separately. Allocation may only be made in units. However, after the completion of the Rights Issue, the shares and the warrants will be separated.

The record date for determining which shareholders are entitled to subscribe for units with preferential rights shall be 15 March 2024.

The subscription price per unit shall be SEK 9.00, corresponding to a subscription price of SEK 3.00 per share. The part of the subscription price that exceeds the quotient value shall be added to the non-restricted share premium reserve. Any part of the subscription price that exceeds the quotient value upon subscription of shares with the support of the warrants shall be transferred to the free premium reserve. Warrants of series TO4 are issued free of charge.

Subscription of units shall take place during the period from and including 19 March 2024 up to and including 2 April 2024. Subscription of units with preferential rights (i.e. with unit rights) shall be made through payment. Subscription of units without preferential rights (i.e. without unit rights) shall be made on designated application form during the period set out above. The Board of Directors shall be entitled to resolve on an extension of the subscription period.

Payment for units subscribed for without exercise of unit rights shall be made no later than three banking days from notice of allotment (settlement note) has been sent to the subscriber. However, the Board of Directors shall have the right to resolve on an extension of the payment period.

Payment for subscribed units shall be made in cash. However, it is noted that the Board of directors can allow set-off in accordance with the conditions specified in Chapter 13, Section 41 of the Swedish Companies Act.

If not all of the units are subscribed for with exercised unit rights, the Board of Directors shall, up to the maximum amount of the Rights Issue, resolve on allotment of units subscribed for without exercised unit rights. In such case, units shall:firstly, be allotted to those who have also subscribed for units with support of unit rights, regardless of whether the subscriber was a shareholder on the record date or not, and, in the event that allotment to these cannot be made in entirety, allotment shall be made pro-rata in relation to the number of unit rights used for subscription of units and, insofar as this cannot be done, by drawing of lots;secondly, be allotted to others who have applied for subscription of units without support of unit rights, and, in the event that allotment to these cannot be made in entirety, allotment shall be made pro-rata in relation to the number of units that such persons have applied for subscription for and, insofar as this cannot be done, by drawing of lots; andlastly, be allotted to those who have provided issue guarantees for subscription of units, pro rata in relation to their guarantees and, insofar as this cannot be done, by drawing of lots.Each warrant of series TO4 shall entitle the holder to subscribe for one (1) new share in the Company at a subscription price corresponding to 70 per cent of the volume-weighted average price paid for the Company’s share on Nasdaq First North Growth Market during the period from and including 3 March 2025 up to and including 14 March 2025, however, not less than the shares quotient value and not more than SEK 4.50 per share.

Each warrant of series TO4 shall entitle the holder to subscribe for one (1) new share in the Company during the period from and including 18 March 2025 up to and including 1 April 2025, or as may otherwise follow from the terms and conditions in special cases, see section 12 below.

Complete terms and conditions for warrants of series TO4 are stated in the special terms and conditions that will be made available before the meeting in accordance with the heading “Other” below.

The new shares shall entitle to dividends for the first time on the record date for dividends that occurs immediately after the new shares have been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and the shares have been entered in the share register at Euroclear Sweden AB. The shares issued as a result of subscription by support of the warrants shall carry the right to dividends for the first time on the record date for dividends that occurs immediately after the new shares have been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and the shares have been entered in the share register of Euroclear Sweden AB

The Board of Directors or anyone appointed by the Board of Directors is given the right to make the adjustments necessary in connection with the registration of the resolution at the Companies Registration Office or Euroclear Sweden AB.

The Rights Issue is valid only if the proposal is supported by shareholders representing more than half of the votes cast.

8 Resolution regarding adjustment authorization

The Board of Directors, the CEO or the person appointed by the Board of Directors shall be authorized to make such minor amendments and clarifications of the resolution by the Extraordinary General Meeting that may prove necessary in connection with registration of the resolutions.
