Item 13 – Proposal regarding resolution on a) amendment to the articles of association with respect to the share capital, b) reduction of the share capital c) directed issue of shares (equalization issue), d) amendment to the articles of association with respect to the number of shares, and e) consolidation of shares.

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves on a) amendment to the articles of association with respect to the share capital, b) reduction of the share capital c) directed issue of shares (equalization issue), d) amendment to the articles of association with respect to the number of shares, and e) consolidation of shares. The proposals should be considered as a single proposal and therefore be adopted by the shareholders' meeting as one and the same resolution.

Item 13 a) – Amendment to the articles of association with respect to the share capital (step 1)

In order to enable the reduction of the share capital as set out in item b) below, the board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves on an amendment to the articles of association with respect to the limits of share capital (4 §) from ”The share capital shall not be less than SEK 55,000,000 and not more than SEK 220,000,000” to ”The share capital shall not be less than SEK 9,000,000 and not more than SEK 36,000,000”.

Item 13 b) – Reduction of the share capital

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves on an reduction of the share capital on the following terms and conditions.

The capital shall be reduced by SEK 48,808,786.50. The reduction of the share capital shall be carried out without withdrawal of shares, and the amount from the reduction shall be allocated to unrestricted equity. The reduction is implemented for the purpose of reducing the quota value of the shares from SEK 0.12 per share to SEK 0.02 per share. Following the reduction, the company's share capital will amount to SEK 9,761,757.30, divided into a total of 488,087,865 shares (before the proposed issue of shares according to item c) below and the proposed consolidation of shares according to item e) below).

The reduction of the share capital requires an amendment to the articles of association.

Item 13 c) – Directed issue of shares (equalization issue)

In order to achieve a number of shares in the company that is evenly divisible by fivehundred (500), which enables the consolidation of shares in accordance with item e) below and to contribute shares to the shareholders whose number of shares is not evenly divisible by five-hundred (500), the board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves on an issue of shares with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights. The resolution shall otherwise be governed by the following terms and conditions.

Through the share issue, the company’s share capital shall increased by not more than SEK 40,472.70 through a new issue of not more than 2,023,635 new shares, each with a quota value of SEK 0.02 (after the completion of the reduction as set out in b) above).

The right to subscribe for the new shares shall, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, vest with Vator Securities AB. The reasons for the deviation from the shareholders preferential rights is to ensure that the total number of shares in the company is evenly divisible by five-hundred (500) and so that the relevant shares are allotted to shareholders whose shareholding are not evenly divisible by five-hundred (500).

A subscription price of SEK 0.02 shall be paid for each new share. The subscription price corresponds to the shares’ quota value (after the completion of the reduction as set out in b) above).

Subscription for shares shall be made on a subscription list provided by the company not later than three (3) days following the general meeting’s resolution. Payment shall be made to an account designated by the company not later than five (5) days following the general meeting’s resolution. The board of directors shall have the right to extend the subscription period and the time for payment.

The new shares shall entitle to dividends for the first time on the record date for dividend occurring after the shares have been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and entered into the share register kept by Euroclear Sweden AB.

Item 13 d) – Amendment to the articles of association with respect to the number of shares (step 2)

In order to enable the consolidation of shares as set out in item e) below, the board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves on an amendment to the articles of association whereby the limits regarding the number of shares (4 §) are changed from ”The number of shares in the company shall not be less than 450,000,000 and not more than 1,800,000,000" to "The number of shares in the company shall not be less than 900,000 and not more than 3,600,000".

Item 13 e) – Consolidation of shares

In order to achieve a suitable number of shares in the company, the board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves upon a consolidation of the company’s shares in relation 1:500 (after the completion of the equalization issue as set out in c) above), whereby the number of shares in the company is reduced by combining five-hundred (500) shares into one (1) share. The board of directors shall be authorized to determine the record date for the consolidation (to occur after the resolution has been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office) and to take all other measures required for implementing the consolidation.

If a shareholder’s shareholding does not correspond to a full number of new shares, i.e., is not evenly divisible by five-hundred (500), such shareholder will receive as many shares as necessary free of charge (1-499) that their shareholding, after adding the shares provided, becomes evenly divisible by five-hundred (500), so-called rounding up.

Further information on the procedure for the consolidation will be announced in connection with the board of directors resolving on the record date.

General aspects regarding the proposal

The board of directors, or a person appointed by the board of directors, shall be authorized to make any minor adjustments required to register the resolutions with the Swedish Companies Registration Office, Euroclear Sweden AB or due to other formal requirements.

A valid resolution requires that the proposal is supported by shareholders representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast as well as of all shares represented at the meeting.

The resolution under item c) above is conditional upon that the resolutions under items a) – b) above are registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office, and the resolutions under items d) – e) above are conditional upon that the resolution under item c) above is registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

Item 14 – Proposal regarding authorization for the board of directors to resolve on issuances

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting authorizes the board of directors, on one or more occasions, until the next annual general meeting, with or without preferential rights for the shareholders, to resolve upon issue of shares, convertibles and/or warrants. Such new issue resolutions may include provisions of payment in cash and/or payment by way of contribution of non-cash consideration or by set-off of a claim or that subscription shall be subject to other conditions. The terms and conditions for the issue shall be customary to market practice with the possibility to a customary issue discount and shares, warrants and/or convertibles may be issued up to a volume corresponding to in total not more than one-third (1/3) of the shares outstanding in the company at any given time.

A valid resolution requires that the proposal is supported by shareholders representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast as well as of all shares represented at the meeting.

Item 15 - Proposal on resolution to amend the articles of association
