Item 14 - Proposal to resolve to adopt a long-term incentive programme for senior executives and key individuals in Irisity

14A. Introduction of Warrant programme 2022

The Board of Directors of the Company proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to adopt a long-term incentive programme (Warrant programme 2022) directed at senior executives and key individuals, and to participants who may be employed within a foreseeable future, within the Irisity group in accordance with the main terms and conditions set out below.

Background and rationale

The Company's Board is of the opinion that incentive programmes contribute to higher motivation and commitment among the employees and strengthen the bonds between the employees and the Company. Furthermore, the Board's assessment is that Warrant programme 2022 will contribute to the opportunities to retain knowledgeable and experienced employees and is expected to increase the employees' interest in the Company's operations and development of earnings. In view of these considerations, it is the Board's opinion that Warrant programme 2022 will benefit both the employees and the Company's shareholders through increased share value.

Warrant programme 2022

The Board of Directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves on a directed new issue of not more than 470,000 warrants, whereof 235,000 warrants Series 1 - 2022/2025 and 235,000 warrants Series 2 - 2022/2025, hereinafter jointly referred to as ("Warrants"), and subsequent transfer of not more than 470,000 Warrants. The right to subscribe for Warrants shall only vest with the wholly owned subsidiary Visionists AB (the "Subsidiary") with a right and obligation for the Subsidiary to dispose of the Warrants in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Warrant programme 2022 and to transfer the Warrants to the participants. Each Warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one share. The Warrants in Series 1 - 2022/2025 shall be issued to the Subsidiary at market value assessed by the Company, which shall be determined in accordance with the Black & Scholes valuation model, and the Warrants in Series 2 - 2022/2025 shall be issued to the Subsidiary free of charge. The Subsidiary shall, in accordance with instructions from the Company's Board of Directors, be entitled to transfer the Warrants to each participant in connection with exercise.

Participants in the Warrant programme 2022 shall no later than 16 May 2022 notify the Company of the number of Warrants that the participant wishes to acquire or subscribe, respectively.

The Warrants in Series 1 - 2022/2025 is proposed to be acquired at market value assessed by the Company, which shall be determined by way of the Warrants being valued by an independent party in accordance with the Black & Scholes valuation model. At the valuation according to the Black & Scholes valuation model the following variables will be used; subscription price (of 150 percent of theIrisity share's average volume-weighted closing price during twenty (20) subsequent banking days in relation to the date of the resolution by the annual general meeting), term (three (3) years), volatility (50 %) and risk-free interest rate (0.15 percent). Provided that the subscription price will be SEK 48.50, the Warrant premium will amount to SEK 4.36. The Warrants in Series 2 - 2022/2025 is proposed to be offered free of charge, to certain participants employed abroad who has entered into an agreement with the Company on participation in advance. In connection with the allotment of the Warrants, the Board shall have the right to make adjustments to comply with organisational changes and special rules or market conditions abroad and reserve the right to repurchase the Warrants if the participant in turn wishes to transfer the Warrants.

Each Warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one new share in Irisity during the period from 16 May 2025 to 16 June 2025. The subscription price for shares subscribed for on the basis of the Warrants shall correspond to 150 percent of the Irisity share's average volume-weighted closing price during twenty (20) subsequent banking days in relation to the date of the resolution by the annual general meeting. The subscription price shall be paid in cash or by set-off.

The exercise price, as set out above, shall be rounded to the nearest SEK 0.10, whereby SEK 0.05 shall be rounded downwards. The exercise price and the number of shares that each Warrant entitles to subscription for shall be recalculated in the event of a split, consolidation, new share issue etc. in accordance with market practice.

The Company shall have the right, but no obligation, to acquire at market value such number of Warrants that enables the participant to exercise the remaining Warrants to subscribe for shares, whereby the subscription proceeds are paid by way of set-off against the claim on sold Warrants. The Company shall also have the right, but no obligation, to acquire some or all Warrants at market value instead of subscription of shares in order to avoid dilution.

Holders of Warrants in Series 1 - 2022/2025 whose employment is terminated or who wish to sell their Warrants shall offer the Company to acquire the Warrants at a price corresponding to the lowest of the premium paid for the Warrants at the time of acquisition and the market value. Participants abroad will receive a contractual option to, when the subscription period begins, receive Warrants under Series 2 - 2022/2025, which expires if the participant's employment ends during the term of the program. Thus, there is no opportunity for foreign participants to sell Warrants during the term.

Allocation of Warrants

The Warrant programme 2022 shall comprise of not more than approximately 7 senior executives and key individuals within the Irisity group. The maximum number of Warrants per participant in the Warrant programme 2022 under each respective series follows from the tables below.

Oversubscription cannot take place; however, it is permitted to acquire a lower number of Warrants than offered. In the event of changes in positions and employments remaining Warrants in a category can be used in an alternative category.

The right to acquire Warrants from the Subsidiary, or subscribe Warrants free of charge, shall only accrue to persons whom at the end of the application period have not resigned or whose employment has not been terminated.

Costs for the incentive programme

The Warrants which are transferred to participants in Sweden are made at a price corresponding to the Warrants' market value at the time of the transfer, which entails that no social security contributions will be incurred for the Irisity group. The Warrants which are transferred free of charge to participants abroad may incur social security contributions and expenses in accordance with the applicable accounting principles. The Board of Directors assess that these costs will be limited and that there is no need for measures to cover these costs.

Costs for financial and legal advice in connection with the Warrant programme 2022 will amount to approximately SEK 250,000.

As the Company's costs for Warrant programme 2022 will be relatively limited, the Board of Directors have resolved not to propose to the annual general meeting measures to cover these.

Dilution

Based on the outstanding number of shares in the Company, Warrant programme 2022 will upon exercise of all 470,000 Warrants increase the share capital by a maximum of SEK 42,300 and a maximum dilution corresponding to approximately 1.23 percent of the total number of outstanding capital and number of votes in the Company at the time of the notice. The Board of Directors intends to, over the next three years, propose long-term incentive programmes that will essentially be designed as Warrant programme 2022. The Board of Directors estimates that the total dilution for all programs will amount to a total of approximately 3.72 percent of the total number of outstanding capital and number of votes in the Company at the time of the notice.

Preparation of the proposal

The Warrant programme 2022 has been prepared by the Board of Directors in consultation with external advisers.

The Board of Directors, or a special committee set up by the Board, shall be responsible for preparing the detailed design and administration of the terms and conditions of Warrant programme 2022, in accordance with the presented terms and guidelines including provisions on recalculation in the event of an in-between bonus issue, share split, rights issue and/or similar measures. In connection therewith, the Board of Directors shall be entitled to make adjustments to meet specific foreign regulations or market conditions. The Board of Directors shall also be entitled to make other adjustments if significant changes occur in the Irisity group or in its environment that would result in that the adopted terms for the Warrant programme 2022 no longer fulfils their objectives.

Additional ongoing share-based incentive programmes

The Company has no ongoing incentive programmes.

14B. Directed issue of warrants, Series 1 - 2022/2025 and Series 2 - 2022/2025, to the wholly owned subsidiary and approval of transfer of the warrants to participants in accordance with Warrant programme 2022

The right to subscribe for the Warrants shall, with deviation from the shareholders' pre-emption rights, vest with Visionists AB, with a right and obligation for the Subsidiary to dispose of the Warrants in accordance with the terms and conditions described above. The Subsidiary shall, in accordance with instructions from the Company's Board of Directors, have the right and obligation to transfer the Warrants to each participant of the Warrant programme 2022.

Each Warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one share. The Warrants in Series 1 - 2022/2025 will be issued at market value assessed by the Company, which shall be determined by way of the Warrants being valued by an independent party in accordance with the Black & Scholes valuation model. The Warrants in Series 2 - 2022/2025 shall be issued free of charge. Oversubscription cannot take place.

The Board of Directors also proposes the annual general meeting to resolve to approve that the Subsidiary, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Warrant programme 2022, may transfer Warrants to participants in Warrant programme 2022 and administer the Warrants in accordance with Warrant programme 2022 in accordance with instructions from the Company's Board of Directors. Transfer of Warrants shall be made in accordance with above.
