The board of directors' proposal for resolution on authorization for the board of directors to resolve on new issues

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to authorize the board of directors, at one or several occasions, during the time up until the next annual general meeting, with or without deviation from the shareholders' preferential right, and with or without provisions regarding payment in kind or through set-off or other provi- sions, to resolve to issue new shares, convertibles and/or warrants. The total number of shares that that may be issued (alternatively be issued through conversion of convertibles and/or exercise of warrants) shall not exceed 6,572,119 shares, which corresponds to 10 percent of the current number of ordinary shares in the company. The purpose of the authorization and reason for any deviation from the shareholders' preferential right 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 issue price shall, in the case of deviation from the sharehold- ers' preferential right, be determined in accordance with market practice. The board of directors shall be entitled to determine other terms of the issue.

The board of directors, the CEO or a person appointed by one of them shall be entitled to make any minor adjustments to the above decision that might be required in connection with registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

For a valid resolution, the proposal has to be approved by shareholders representing at least two-thirds of the votes cast as well as the shares represented at the annual general meeting.

The Board of Directors' proposal for resolution on implementation of a long-term incentive program for senior executives and other key employees by way of (A) implementation of a performance-based share saving program; (B) authorization on directed issues of series C shares; (C) authorization on repurchase of series C shares; and (D) resolution on transfer of own ordinary shares; alternatively (E) resolution on entering into a share swap agreement with a third party

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting ("AGM") 2024 resolves to implement a long-term incentive program in the form of a performance-based share saving program for senior executives and other key employees (the "LTI 2024") in accordance with A below.

The resolution, pursuant to section A, shall be conditioned upon that the AGM also resolves on hedging measures in accordance with either sections B - D or, if the majority requirement for sections B - D is not achieved, according to section E. If sections B - D are adopted, section E will lapse. In the event that section A is not adopted, sections B - E will lapse.

  1. Implementation of a performance-based share saving program Background and motives
    The AGM of the company has since 2018 (with the exception of the AGM 2022) adopted incentive programs for senior executives and other key employees where the terms mainly correspond to the terms that constitute LTI 2024, which are found below.
    The overall purpose of LTI 2024 is to align the interests of the employees with those of the shareholders and thus ensure a maximum long-term value adding commitment. LTI 2024 is also considered to create a long-term focus on increase in earnings and growth among the participants. LTI 2024 is further considered to facilitate for the company to recruit and retain senior executives and other key employees.
    In light of the above, the terms set out below, the allotment size and other circumstances, the board considers that the proposed LTI 2024 is well-balanced and beneficial for the company and its shareholders.

Terms and conditions for LTI 2024

  1. To be entitled to participate in LTI 2024, it is required that the participant has been employed by the company or another company within the Group at the latest on the date of expiration of the Investment Period in accordance with the below. LTI 2024 entails that the participants will invest in ordinary shares in the company ("Saving Shares"). In order to be entitled to participate in LTI 2024, each participant must acquire or allocate the number of Saving Shares which has been specified for each category in the table set out in paragraph 4 below. The investment in Saving Shares shall be made through acquisition of ordinary shares on the stock market or by allocating shares already held by the participant and which have not been used as saving shares in an already existing incentive program. Investment or allocation shall have taken place during period from and including the time the AGM resolves to introduce LTI 2024 up to and including 30 September 2024 (the "Investment Period").
  2. If the Saving Shares are retained as from the expiration of the Investment Period to and including 31 December 2027 (the "Saving Period") the participant is entitled to allotment of additional ordinary shares in the company free of charge (the "Performance Shares"), provided that, firstly the performance targets (the "Performance Targets") mentioned below are achieved or exceeded, secondly, that the participant's employment, with the exceptions set out in paragraph 8 below, has not been subject to notice of termination before the expiry of the Saving Period.
  3. Regarding the Sales Target and the EBITDA Target listed below, vesting of Performance Shares pertaining to these will occur linearly during the Saving Period starting 1 January 2025, while vesting of Performance Shares pertaining to the Share Price Target specified below will occur at the last day of the Share Price Target's measurement period, i.e. on 31 December 2027.
  4. LTI 2024 shall include the following employee categories, which include employees who have been identified as key persons for the company's development in the coming years (some of whom have not been offered participation in previous incentive programs), and the participant shall acquire or allocate the following number of Saving Shares, with the opportunity to be allotted up to the following number of vested Performance Shares per Saving Share:

  1. The final number of Performance Shares vested by each participant shall be rounded downwards to the nearest whole number.
  2. The total number of Performance Shares, pursuant to LTI 2024, shall not exceed 408,000.
  3. The Performance Targets that have to be achieved or exceeded relate to (i) the share price development of the company's shares (the "Share Price Target"), weighted as 40 percent of Performance Targets, (ii) the net sales for each respective financial year of 2025-2027 (the "Sales Target") weighted as
    40 percent of Performance Targets, and (iii) the EBITDA for each respective financial year of 2025-2027 (the "EBITDA Target") weighted as 20 percent of Performance Targets. Whereby the measurement period for the Sales Target and the EBITDA Target shall be divided with 1/3 for each of the financial years: 2025, 2026 and 2027.
    The Share Price Target relates to the development of the company's share price on Nasdaq Stockholm over the period from the date of the AGM 2024 to and including 31 December 2027. The share price development will be measured based on the volume weighted average share price 30 trading days immediately following the AGM 2024 and 30 trading days immediately preceding 31 December 2027. An increase in the share price with less than 22.5 percent does not entitle to any vesting of any of the Performance Shares pertaining to the Share Price Target and an increase in the share price with 30 percent or more does entitle a vesting of all of the Performance Shares pertaining to the Share Price Target. If the minimum level of 22.5 percent increase in the share price is achieved, half of all Performance shares pertaining to the Share Price Target are vested. In the event of an increase in the share price of between 22.5 and 30 percent, vesting of the Performance Shares pertaining to the Share Price Target will occur linearly between the minimum level and the target level.
    The Sales Target and the EBITDA Target shall be determined by the board of directors annually as soon as possible, at the beginning of each financial year. For each respective target, a minimum level and a target level (maximum) shall be determined for each respective financial year. The minimum level shall be
    75 percent of the target level. If the minimum level is not achieved, no
