Resolution concerning non-cash issue (Item 6 above)
The Board proposes that the meeting approve the issue of no more than 27,000,000 new shares at a par value of 0.10 kronor each, increasing total share capital by up to 2,700,000 kronor. The sellers of Paregos Mediadesign AB will be eligible to subscribe for the new shares. The shares that are subscribed for will be paid for with all 6,064 shares in Paregos Mediadesign AB. The shares in Paregos Mediadesign AB will be compensated for by a number, based on the volume-weighted average price of the Framfab share during the 30 trading sessions prior to the resolution to issue new shares, of newly issued Framfab shares in the amount of 8,126,376 kronor. Based on the current market price of the Framfab share, the Board estimates that the number of newly issued shares will be 19,348,514 and that the assets contributed in kind pursuant to Item 36 of Recommendation RR 1:00 of the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council will be posted to the Company's balance sheet in the amount of 13,000,000 kronor, including the cash portion of the purchase sum and the additional purchase sum in 2005. In that case, the subscription price would be 0.42 kronor per share. Depending on the volume-weighted average price of the Framfab share during the 30 trading sessions prior to the resolution to issue new shares, the number of shares may be altered up to the maximum amount of the issue and the total value can -- pursuant to the Council's recommendation -- change to reflect the market price of the Framfab share at the time of the transaction.
Other Matters
The Board's complete proposal in accordance with Item 6 above, as well as documents pursuant to Part 4, Sections 4 and 6 of the Swedish Companies Act (1975:1385), will be available from the Company at Krukmakargatan 37A, Stockholm, Sweden, phone +46 8-410 010 39, as of January 20, 2004.
