The Nomination Committee’s proposal for auditor corresponds to the recommendation and evaluation made by the audit committee.
 
ITEM 11: RESOLUTION ON ISSUE AUTHORIZATION
The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting passes a resolution to authorize the Board of Directors mainly as set out below.
 
The Board of Directors is to be authorized to, on one or more occasions until the next Annual General Meeting, resolve on issue of new shares and/or warrants and/or convertible bonds.
 
An issue of new shares and/or warrants and/or convertible bonds can be decided with or without regard of shareholders’ pre-emption rights. Following this authorization, a total maximum number of shares equivalent to 20 per cent of the total number of outstanding shares in the company on the date when the authorization is utilised for the first time may be issued in new share issues, by utilising the warrants and/or through the conversions of convertible bonds (this does not prevent warrants or convertible bonds from being combined with conversion terms which, if applied, may result in a different number of shares).
 
This authorization is to include the right to issue shares, warrants and/or convertible bonds with cash payment, payment by contribution in kind or payment by way of set-off, and otherwise subject to conditions as set out in Chapter 2, Section 5, second paragraph 1–3 and 5 of the Swedish Companies Act.
 
The Board of Directors, or a party designated by the Board, has the right to decide on minor changes to the General Meeting’s resolution that may be necessary in connection with registration of the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or due to other formal requirements.
 
A resolution according to this item is valid only if supported by shareholders holding at least two-thirds (2/3) of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the General Meeting.
 
ITEM 12: RESOLUTION ON WARRANT PROGRAM AND OF APPROVAL OF TRANSFER OF WARRANTS
The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting resolves on issue of new warrants mainly in accordance with the following and that the General Meeting resolves on approval of transfer of warrants etc.
 
The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting resolves on a directed issue of no more than 630,000 warrants, as a result of which the company’s share capital may be increased by a maximum of SEK 63,000. The right to subscribe for warrants shall, with deviation from the shareholders preferential rights, belong to Clavister AB, reg. No. 556546-1877. The warrants are issued free of charge to Clavister AB. Clavister AB shall transfer the warrants to employees on market terms at a price (premium) determined on the basis of an estimated market value of the warrants, with the application of a generally accepted valuation model (Black & Scholes). The reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights is that the warrants are part of an incentive programme for persons who are or will be employees of the company or its subsidiary. The Board of Directors considers that the program’s structure with a three-year term of the warrants should promote the company’s long-term financial interests by encouraging the employees’ ownership interest in the company. Each warrant shall entitle the holder the right to subscribe for one (1) new share in the company. The warrants shall otherwise be covered by customary terms.
 
In the event of full subscription with the support of all warrants, 630,000 new shares can be issued, corresponding to a dilution of approximately 1.10 per cent of the total number of shares and votes in the company, although subject to the recalculation of the number of shares that each warrant entitles to subscribe for which may occur as a result of certain issues etc.
 
The General Meeting’s resolutions regarding this item 12 are valid only if it is supported by shareholders with at least nine tenths (9/10) of the votes cast as well as of all shares represented at the meeting.
 
The complete proposal regarding the warrant program etc. will be available at the company and on the company’s website www.clavister.com no later than three weeks before the meeting.
 
Information at the meeting
The Board of Directors and the CEO shall, upon request by any shareholder and where the Board of Directors believes that such may take place without significant harm to the company, provide information in respect of any circumstances which may affect the assessment of a matter on the agenda; any circumstances which may affect the assessment of the company's or a subsidiary’s financial position; and the company's relationship to other group companies.
 
Documents
Complete proposals, along with financial statements and the auditor’s report for 2021, will be available at the company and on the company’s website www.clavister.com no later than three weeks before the meeting, and will be sent immediately without charge to any shareholders who so request and state their address. The documents will also be available at the meeting.
