Proposals

Item 1 - Election of chairman of the general meeting

The board of directors proposes that attorney-at-law Mikael Mellberg is elected as chairman of the general meeting.

Item 2 - Preparation and approval of the voting list

The board of directors proposes that the voting list to be approved is the voting list prepared by Advokatfirman Lindahl based on the Company's EGM share register and the received postal votes.

Item 3 - Election of one or several persons to verify the minutes of the meeting

The board of directors proposes that Theodor Jeansson is elected to verify the minutes of the general meeting.

Item 6 - Resolution to approve the board of director's resolution to issue new shares

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to approve the board of directors' resolution on 20 November 2022 (subject to approval by the general meeting) to increase the Company's share capital with not more than SEK 29,984.62 by an issue of not more than 1,000,000 new shares on the terms and conditions set out below:

1. The right to subscribe for new shares shall, with deviation from the shareholders' pre-emption rights, belong to Alpraaz AB, reg. no. 556451-9378, a company owned by the Company's board member Christian von Koenigsegg.
2. In connection with the resolution on this share issue, the board has also resolved, as authorized by the general meeting on 2 May 2022, on a directed share issue to a group of existing and new investors on the same terms as for this issue. Thus, the reason for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential right in this issue is the same as for the other directed share issue, namely to, in a time and cost-effective way, secure the Company's need for additional funding. The board of directors has made an overall assessment of the various alternatives at hand and has carefully considered the possibility of raising the required capital by carrying out a share issue with preferential rights for the existing shareholders. After close evaluation together with its advisers, the board of directors has concluded that a preferential rights issue would entail a significant risk that the Company would not be able to raise the required funding, the main reason being that a rights issue would be significantly more time-consuming and therefore subject to higher market risk exposure compared to a directed issue. As a consequence, especially due to the higher than normal market volatility observed in 2022 and which is still ongoing, the board of directors has assessed that a rights issue would require underwriting commitments in amounts close to the full amount sought, which the board assesses that it would not be able to obtain on acceptable terms under current market conditions. In any case, the costs for the necessary underwriting commitments and advisers in a rights issue would have used up a large part of the subscription price, which would have been to the detriment to the Company and its shareholders compared to the directed issues at hand. The board of directors has therefore made the assessment that directed share issues on the terms described in this release is the most favorable alternative for the Company and in the best interest of the Company's shareholders.
3. Subscription shall be made on a subscription list not later than 22 November 2022. The board of directors shall have the right to extend the subscription period.
4. The new shares are issued at a subscription price of SEK 1.425 per share. The part of the subscription price exceeding the quotient value of the previous shares shall be transferred to the unrestricted premium reserve.
5. The subscription price for the new shares has been determined in negotiations between the Company and the persons entitled to subscribe for shares in the share issues resolved on by the board on 20 November 2022.
6. Payment for new shares shall be made not later than 22 November 2022. The board of directors shall have the right to extend the payment period.
7. The new shares entitle to dividends for the first time on the first record date for dividend that take place after the issue of new shares has been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and been recorded in the share register kept by Euroclear Sweden AB.
8. The managing director, or any other person appointed by the board of directors, shall have the right to take those smaller measures that may be required in order to register the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB.

Majority requirements

An approval by the general meeting of the board of director's resolution is valid only if supported by shareholders holding at least nine-tenths of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.
