Background and reasons for the proposal
The purpose of the Employee Stock Option Program 2023/2026 is to create conditions for retaining and increasing the motivation of members of the executive management, other key employees and employees within the Company. The Board of Directors considers that it is in the interest of all shareholders that management, which has been deemed important for the Company's further development, has a long-term interest in a good value development of the share in the Company. Long-term ownership involvement is expected to stimulate increased interest in the business and earnings development as a whole, as well as increase motivation for the participants and aims to achieve increased alignment of interests between the participants and the Company's shareholders.
Preparation of the proposal
The proposal for the Employee Stock Option Program 2023/2026 has been prepared by the Company's Board of Directors in consultation with external advisors.
Dilution
If all warrants issued under the Employee Stock Option Program 2023/2026 are exercised for subscription of ordinary shares, the number of ordinary shares outstanding will increase by 4,800,000 ordinary shares, corresponding to a maximum dilution of approximately 2.87 percent of the total number of ordinary shares and votes in the Company on the date of the notice convening the meeting.
Outstanding incentive programs
There are no outstanding incentive programs in the Company.
Costs
The Board of Directors estimates that the Employee Stock Option Program 2023/2026 will incur certain administrative costs in connection with registration, transfer and share subscription with the support of the warrants.
- Issue of warrants as hedging arrangements
In order to enable the Company's delivery of ordinary shares under the Employee Stock Option Program 2023/2026, the Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves on a directed issue of warrants of series [2023/2026] on the following terms.
- The company shall issue a maximum of 4,800,000 warrants. Each warrant shall entitle the holder to subscribe for one (1) ordinary share in the Company.
- With deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, the warrants may only be subscribed for by the Company with the right and obligation for the Company to transfer the warrants to the participants of the Employee Stock Option Program 2023/2026. The reason for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is that the warrants can be used within the framework of the above-mentioned incentive program.
-
The warrants may be exercised for subscription of ordinary shares during a period of exercise that runs from and including
1 September 2026 up to and including30 September 2026 or the earlier date following the terms of the warrants. - The subscription price for the shares shall correspond to the quota value of the share.
-
Upon full exercise of the warrants, the issue entails that the Company's share capital may increase by a maximum of
SEK 575,732 (subject to the change that may be caused by any recalculation according to the complete terms and conditions for the warrants). - The company's subscription of warrants shall be made free of charge.
- The warrants shall be subscribed no later than three (3) days after the issue resolution on a special subscription list. The Board of Directors shall have the right to extend the subscription period. Oversubscription cannot take place.
-
New ordinary shares subscribed for through the exercise of warrants entitle to dividend for the first time on the record date for dividend that falls immediately after the new share issue has been registered with the
Swedish Companies Registration Office andEuroclear Sweden AB . - The warrants are subject to additional terms and conditions in accordance with the complete terms and conditions for the warrants, including customary conversion terms which mean that the subscription price as well as the number of ordinary shares that each warrant entitles to subscribe for may be recalculated in the event of special corporate events.
The Board of Directors or the person appointed by the Board of Directors is authorized to make such minor adjustments to this decision as may be necessary in connection with registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and possibly with
- Approval of transfer of warrants
