The authorisation has the objective of increasing the financial flexibility of a company and enabling it to use its financial instruments to pay in kind, or by way of a set-off directed to a partner for any business acquisitions that the Company may make or to settle deferred payments relating to business acquisitions. For each date of issue, the market value will be used to determine the price.

Agenda item 8 (Resolution b)
The Board of Directors proposes to the Company that it acquire its own shares on the First North Growth Market of Nasdaq Stockholm, or by offering to purchase the shares from all of the Company’s members. These acquisitions may occur multiple times and are based on the market conditions, regulations in place and capital situation. First North Growth Market, Nasdaq Sweden will be notified of any purchases and the details will appear in Company’s annual reports and accounts. The resolution to repurchase shares will be made public. The buyback and transfer rights are intended to provide added value to the Company’s investors and give the Board greater flexibility in the Company’s capital structure.
After such buybacks the Board’s intention would be either to cancel, use the shares as consideration for an purchase or transfer them to employees through a share incentive plan. After the shares are repurchased by the company, they will need to be approved again by Bondholders and shareholders before they can be cancelled.
In order to be used as consideration in an acquisition, the shares would not be sold before being issued.
