Item 15: Resolution on guidelines for remuneration to the senior executives
The board of directors of the Company proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to adopt new guidelines for remuneration to the Company's senior executives in accordance with the board of director's complete proposal on guidelines. The guidelines for executive remuneration as approved by the annual general meeting 2022 remain largely unchanged. However, the variable remuneration for certain senior executives is proposed to be increased from twenty-five (25) to thirty-five (35) per cent in accordance with the board of director's complete proposal on guidelines.
The guidelines shall apply to each commitment of remuneration to senior executives, and to any change in such commitment, that is decided after the annual general meeting at which the guidelines were adopted. The guidelines thus have no effect on previously binding contractual obligations.
The board of director's complete proposal will be made available at the Company and on the Company's website at investors.lime-technologies.com/en.
Item 16: Resolution on authorisation of the board of directors to issue shares
The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to authorise the board of directors to, on one or more occasions before the annual general meeting 2025, resolve on issues of shares against payment in cash, with provisions of payment in kind or set-off of claims or other conditions, and carried out with or without deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights. The purpose of the authorisation and the possibility to deviate from the shareholders' preferential rights is to provide the board of directors' flexibility in financing and facilitating an accelerated expansion and development of the Company in accordance with its adopted strategy.
The authorisation is limited so that the board of directors cannot resolve on issues of shares resulting in issued shares exceeding ten (10) per cent of the total amount of shares in the Company at the time of the resolution on the authorisation. If issues of shares are carried out with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, the issues shall be made at market terms and conditions.
The board of directors, or a person appointed by the board of directors, is authorised to make such minor adjustments to the resolution as may be required in connection with registration of the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
MAJORITY REQUIREMENTS
The resolution in accordance with item 16 is valid only where supported by at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the annual general meeting.
DOCUMENTS
The complete proposals and other documents that shall be made available prior to the annual general meeting pursuant to the Swedish Companies Act and the Swedish Corporate Governance Code will be made available at the Company and on the Company's website at investors.lime-technologies.com/en as well as be sent free of charge to shareholders who so request and provide their name and address.
