The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves on a directed issue of warrants with right to subscription for new shares in the Company.
Issue of warrants Series 2022/2025
The issue shall deviate from the shareholders preferential right in accordance with the following terms and conditions:
Allocation of warrants
The participants right to obtain an allocation of warrants has been differentiated with to position, responsibility and working performance in the Company. The right to be allotted warrants requires that the participant enter into a pre-emption agreement etc. with the Company. Other than that, the warrants are freely transferable.
The offer is distributed between the employees* in accordance with the following guidelines:
Category
|
Number of warrants per category |
Maximum number of warrants per individual |
CEO (1 individual) | 5,000,000 | 5,000,000 |
Executives and key employees (approximately 2 individuals) | 2,500,000 | 1,500,000 |
Other employees (approximately 6 individuals) | 2,500,000 | 500,000 |
* As employees are included those self-employed who participate in the Company more than 50% of their time.
If not all of the warrants have been allocated after the initial notification period, such non-allocated warrants may be offered to other participants. However, the maximum number of 1,500,000 warrants for executives and key employees and 500,000 for other employees, respectively, may not be exceeded for any individual.
Reasons for deviation from the shareholders preferential right
The reasons for the deviation from the shareholders preferential right is a wish to implement a warrant program dedicated to allotment for employees in the Company whereby they are offered the possibility to take part of a growth in the value of the Companys share. This is expected to strengthen the interest in the development of the Company - as well as the Companys share price development - and stimulate a continued loyalty to the Company during to coming years.
Calculation of the market value
The market value of the option right will be presented in the board of directors complete proposal for resolution.
Dilution
If all warrants are exercised, the number of shares will increase by 10,000,000 shares and the share capital will increase by SEK 1,000,000 (with reservation for any re-calculation). The number of warrants has been calculated by taking into account the shares that may be issued in the rights issue that the board of directors intends to resolve on during the forthcoming days in accordance with the press release published on 13 June 2022. The board of directors intends to allocate a maximum of warrants entailing a dilution of a maximum of five (5) per cent of the number of shares after the rights issue. The dilution of shares is calculated as the maximum number of new shares and votes that may be issued by exercise of all warrants issued in accordance with this proposal for resolution, divided by the maximum number of shares and votes in the Company after exercise of all warrants that may be issued by in accordance with this proposal for resolution.
Costs
As the warrants are issued at market value, its the Companys assessment that no labor costs or social fees will accrue to the Company as a result of the warrant program. The total costs, including other costs such as remuneration to external advisors and costs for administration of the program, is estimated to amount to SEK 100,000 over the course of the program.
Preparation of the proposal
The proposal of the incentive program has been prepared by the board of directors together with external expertise.
Outstanding programs
The Company does not have any outstanding share-related incentive programs.
