PROPOSALS BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The board of directors and the managing director propose that the year's result shall be carried forward.
14. Resolution regarding authorisation for the board of directors to resolve on issue of shares, warrants and/or convertibles
The board of directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorises the board to resolve - at one or several occasions and for the time period until the next annual general meeting - to increase the company's share capital by new issues of shares, warrants and/or convertibles. The number of shares that may be issued and the number of shares that shall be possible to convert/subscribe for may amount to a number of shares resulting in a dilution of not more than 20 percent of the number of shares outstanding at the time of this notice of the Annual General Meeting, after full exercise of the hereby proposed authorisation.
New issues of shares, warrants and/or convertibles may be made with or without deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights and with or without provisions for contribution in kind, set-off or other conditions. Pursuant to Chapter 16 of the Swedish Companies Act, the board of directors may not by virtue of this authorisation resolve on issues to board members in group companies, employees, etc. The purpose of the authorisation is to increase the financial flexibility of the company and the acting scope of the board. Should the board of directors resolve on an issue with deviation from the shareholder's preferential rights, the reason shall be to enable the company to finance the operations in a fast and efficient way, acquire companies, businesses or parts thereof, or to broaden the ownership of the company. Upon such deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, the new issue shall be made at market terms and conditions.
The board of directors or the CEO shall have the right to make such minor adjustments in this resolution that may be necessary in connection with the registration of the authorisation with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or due to other formal requirements.
Majority requirements
Resolution in accordance with item 14 above requires approval of at least two thirds (2/3) of the shares represented and votes cast at the general meeting.
