Proposal to resolve on redemption of shares (item 7)
The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting resolves on redemption of shares for repayment to the shareholders in accordance with below (the "Redemption Program"). The Redemption Program implies that all outstanding shares shall be split into two shares after which a total of 120,592,332 shares are automatically redeemed at SEK 1.10 per share for repayment to the shareholders. An information brochure describing the Redemption Program will be presented in respect of the board of directors' proposal. The information brochure will be available before the trading in redemption shares commences at the company's website, www.strax.com, at the company's office and will upon request be sent to shareholders who state their postal address.
In light of the above, the Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting passes the following resolutions.
(i) Share split
The Board of Directors proposes that the company's shares shall be split into two shares, of which one shall be designated redemption share. The Board of Directors is authorised to determine the record date for the share split.
(ii) Bonus issue
The Board of Directors proposes that the share capital shall be increased with EUR 12,624,164.563374 through a bonus issue. The amount with which the share capital shall be increased shall be taken from the non-restricted equity. No new shares shall be issued in connection with the increase in the share capital.
(iii) Reduction of the share capital through mandatory redemption of shares
The Board of Directors proposes a reduction of the share capital with EUR 12,624,164.563374 through mandatory redemption of all 120,592,332 redemption shares, each share with a quota value of approx. EUR 0.104685. The redemption consideration amounts to SEK 1.10 per share. The consideration per share corresponds to the share's quota value (based on the exchange rate in EUR/SEK as per 5 December 2018). Neither the procced per share (in SEK), nor the redemption amount per share (in EUR), is affected by any currency exchange fluctuations and will thus remain in accordance with above. The purpose of the reduction of the share capital is repayment to the shareholders, and in case the redemption consideration is less than the redemption amount due to the applicable exchange rate (below referred to as "Payment difference"), allocation to unrestricted shareholders' equity. In such case, the allocation to unrestricted shareholders' equity will be made with an amount corresponding to the Payment difference. The redemption of redemption shares will occur automatically, shareholders will not need to take any action to get redemption shares redeemed.
Trading in redemption shares on Nasdaq Stockholm is expected during the period 9 - 23 January 2019 and the record day for redemption of the redemption shares shall be 25 January 2019 whereupon distribution of the redemption proceeds is expected to be executed by Euroclear Sweden AB around 30 January 2019.
Further, it is proposed that the Board of Directors is authorised to adjust the period for trading in the redemption shares as well as the record day for redeeming the redemption shares in the event that the Board of Directors finds it necessary.
The resolution of the general meeting regarding items (i)-(iii) above are conditional upon each other and shall be passed as one resolution. The resolution of the general meeting shall be valid where supported by shareholders holding not less than two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the general meeting.
