Closing Proposals of the Board Item 7 – Rights issue The Board proposes that the meeting approves the resolution by the Board on April 28, 2015 on a rights issue with preferential rights for the shareholders in order to provide the company with rights issue proceeds amounting to approx. MSEK 230 on the following terms. The share capital shall be increased by a maximum of SEK 4,598,244.337097 by the issuance of a maximum of 229,914,516 new shares. The new shares shall be subscribed for with preferential rights for the company’s shareholders in proportion to the number of shares previously held, whereby three (3) existing shares entitle to subscription for one (1) new share. The subscription price for each new share shall be SEK 1.00. The record date for the determination of which shareholders are entitled to subscribe for new shares with preferential rights shall be June 1, 2015. Subscription for new shares shall take place during the period from June 3, 2015 up to and including June 18, 2015, or such later date to be decided by the Board. Subscription for shares by the exercise of subscription rights shall be made by simultaneous cash payment. Subscription for shares without exercising subscription rights shall be made on a separate subscription list and be paid in cash within three (3) business days from the date when notice of allotment by the Board has been sent to the subscriber, or such later date as the Board may decide. In the event that not all shares are subscribed for by the exercise of subscription rights, the Board shall decide on allotment of shares without the exercise of subscription rights up to the maximum amount of the rights issue. Such allotment shall be made, firstly, to those who have subscribed for shares by exercising subscription rights and who wish to subscribe for additional shares, pro rata in proportion to their subscription by exercising subscription rights, secondly, to others who have notified their interest to subscribe for shares without exercising subscription rights, pro rata in proportion to their subscription and, thirdly, to those who have guaranteed subscription for shares pro rata in proportion to provided guarantees. For practical reasons, when resolving on allotment, the Board may resolve that the above-mentioned allotment will be made of a certain minimum number of shares only. A valid resolution requires the support of shareholders with more than half of the votes cast. Item 8 – Over-allotment option In order to meet a possible over-subscription in the rights issue, the Board proposes that the Board within thirty days from the last subscription date in the rights issue (however, not later than July 31, 2015), is authorized to resolve on a new share issue of additionally in total 20,000,000 shares at an subscription price of SEK 1.00 per share in order to enable that the company is provided with additional rights issue proceeds of MSEK 20. At full subscription of the rights issue, the over-allotment option is equivalent to approximately 2% of the share capital. The reason for deviating from the shareholders’ preferential right is to provide the company with additional rights issue proceeds at a possible over -subscription of the rights issue (a so-called over-allotment option) and to be able to increase the number of shareholders of the company. The new share issue can take place without the preferential rights of the company’s shareholders in accordance with the principles of allotment applicable to the rights issue. A valid resolution requires the support of shareholders representing at least two-thirds of the votes cast and the number of shares represented at the meeting. Available documents and information The Board’s complete proposal and resolutions, respectively, together with other documents in accordance with the Swedish Companies Act will be available at the company and on the company’s website www.karobio.se as from May 4, 2015 at the latest. Copies of the documents will be sent free of charge to shareholders who so request and state their address. Shareholders at the meeting are entitled to ask questions concerning the matters to be dealt with at the meeting. Number of shares and votes in the company At the time of issue of this notice, the total number of shares and votes in the company was 676,263,158. At the record date May 19, 2015, the company’s total number of shares and votes will amount to 689,743,550 shares. The company holds no treasury shares.
