The Board is entitled to deviate from the proposed guidelines if special reasons exist.

Resolution of long-term incentive scheme 2018/2021 for executive management and other key employees by issuing warrants with exception of shareholders preferential right (item 14)

Background

The Board proposes a share based long-term incentive program for senior executives and other key employees based on warrants in the company. The objective of the Long Term Incentive Program 2018-2021 is to maintain the company's senior executives and key employees in a competitive market, and promote the long-term value for its shareholders by aligning the interests of the shareholders and the company's senior executives and key employees.

The program basically means that the participants at market value are offered to acquire up to 190,000 warrants with a term of three years and giving the right to subscribe for an equal number of Series B shares at a subscription price equal to 130 percent of the average volume-weighted price paid for shares of series B during May 16th to and including 29th May 2018.

The proposed long-term incentive plan has been prepared by the Board. The program aims to in the near future increase participants shareholder interest. The Board believes that this will benefit the company's development and thus the interests of shareholders.

Proposed resolution

The Board proposes that the Meeting resolves on the implementation of a long-term incentive program 2018/2021 for senior executives and certain other key employees through the issue of warrants with deviation from the preferential right of shareholders to the following conditions.

1. The Company shall issue a maximum of 190 000 warrants.
2. The right to subscribe for the warrants shall, with deviation from the preferential right of shareholders, be offered to the company's senior executives and certain key employees (total maximum of 20 people). The maximum number of warrants that individual participants will be offered shall not exceed 40 000.
3. The options issued at a rate per warrant corresponding warrants' by external valuation estimated market under the so-called Black & Scholes model.
4. The warrants shall be subscribed for on a separate subscription list that contains the issue decision, the calculated exercise price and the valuation by fixed rate per subscription warrant later than 15 October 2018. The Board of Directors is entitled to extend the subscription period. Over-subscription is not possible. A subscription payment will be in cash at the latest in connection with the subscription.
5. Each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one (1) new share of series B in the Company during the period from 1 June 2021 and 31 August 2021or until the earlier date in accordance with the warrant conditions.
6. The subscription price will be set to the equivalent of 130 percent of the average volume price for shares of series B during the period from May 16, 2018 to and including 29th May 2018. The calculated subscription price will be rounded to the closest integer penny, wherein 0.5 penny be rounded up. The subscription price may not be set below the share's quota value.
7. The new shares shall entitle to dividend for the first time on the record date that occurs immediately following the subscription.
8. The complete terms of the warrants are presented in Appendix A. As shown in Appendix A, the subscription price and number of shares to warrant entitles the holder to subscribe may be recalculated in conjunction with a new share issue and in certain other cases.
9. The increase in the company's share capital upon exercise of the warrants will amount to a maximum of 38 000, not considering the increase that may be caused by the conversion of the subscription price and the number of shares that each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe that may occur as a result of a new share issue.
10. The reasons for deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is to enable the participants in LTIP 2018 to 2021 to subscribe for warrants under the program, which the Board believes promotes the company's development and contribute to the long-term value for its shareholders.
11. The Board is authorized to make minor adjustments in the resolution made by the Annual General Meeting that may be required in connection with the registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

Requirement of majority
A valid resolution pursuant to this item 14 requires the approval of shareholders representing at least nine tenths of the votes and shares represented at the Annual General Meeting.

Dilution and cost
At full subscription and utilization of all 190 000 warrants, the number of shares will increase with a maximum of 190 000 new class B, corresponding to a dilution of 1.0 percent for the capital and about 0.7 percent for the voting rights per day of issue of this notice.

Since the warrants are issued at a subscription price at market value the company as a starting point is not obligated to pay any social security contributions for the warrants subscribed by senior executives and other key persons employed in Sweden. Warrants may also be offered to employees of the company's subsidiaries in the United States and elsewhere where taxation is different from Sweden and then some social costs may be applicable. The eventual cost of social charges are assessed as scant by the Board, given the number of warrants that may be offered to employees outside of Sweden and that the level of social security contributions is lower than in Sweden. Consequently, the issue of warrants will result, in addition to limited administrative costs, no or limited cost to the company.

Authorization
The Board, or the person appointed by the Board, shall be entitled to extend the period for subscription or payment.

The board, or whom the board appoints, shall also be authorized to make minor adjustments in the AGM resolution that may prove necessary in connection with registration of the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

Resolution to authorize the Board of Directors to issue shares, share options or convertibles (item 15)

The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorizes the Board to decide on issue shares and / or warrants and / or convertibles, with or without deviation from shareholders' preferential rights, within the framework of current Articles of Association, until the next Annual General Meeting. A rights issue may be made for the purpose of carrying out or finance acquisitions of, or part of, other companies or businesses. A rights issue could also be used to adjust the company's capital structure in accordance with the company's capital needs from time to time. Rights issues may be done with cash consideration, offset, issue in kind or otherwise with stipulated conditions. Rights issues that occur with deviation from shareholders' preferential rights shall be on market terms less any discount that may be required to achieve sufficient interest to participate in the subscription. The total number of shares issued by new shares pursuant to the authorization may amount to a maximum of 10 percent of the number of shares in the company based on the total number of shares in the company at the time of the Annual General Meeting 2018. The Board or the Board of Directors hereby proposes to be entitled to make minor changes in the above decision that may be required by registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or Euroclear Sweden AB.

Requirement of majority
A valid resolution pursuant to this item 15 requires the approval of shareholders representing at least two thirds of the votes and shares represented at the Annual General Meeting.

Resolution to Authorize the Board of Directs to transfer own shares (item 16)

The Board proposes that the Meeting resolves to authorize the Board to, on one or more occasions until the next AGM, to decide on the transfer of own shares of series B in accordance with the following conditions.

i. Transfer may be made by the company's own class B shares held by the company at the time of the Board's decision.

ii. Transfer shall take place (i) Nasdaq Stockholm exchange, or (ii) otherwise than by transfer on the Nasdaq Stockholm, for the Board to decide on the transfer of shares for cash with preferential rights of shareholders, or as payment for the acquisition of companies or assets.

Transfer of shares otherwise than by transfer on the Nasdaq Stockholm, where the transfer is made with deviation from the shareholders preferential right or as payment for acquisitions of businesses or assets, the lowest at a price per share corresponding to the last independent trade the company's shares of series B Nasdaq Stockholm at that time.

The reason that the Board, in connection with the transfer of shares otherwise than by transfer of a regulated market, to decide on the transfer of shares in deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is that the company thus can sell shares in a more time efficient manner, in the event that the liquidity the company's shares on the regulated market at the time of transfer is limited.

Requirement of majority
A valid resolution pursuant to this item 16 requires the approval of shareholders representing at least two thirds of the votes and shares represented at the Annual General Meeting.

Election of Nomination Committee members (Item 16)
The Nomination Committee is currently comprised of Chairman Erik Hermansson, and committee members Joakim Dal and Henrik Tjernberg. The Nomination Committee proposes that the AGM re-elect Erik Hermansson as chairman, and Henrik Tjernberg and Joakim Dal as committee members. The Nomination Committee proposes that if a committee member leaves the committee before its work is completed that the remaining committee members, in consultation with the Board of Directors, shall appoint a new committee member taking into consideration that the Nomination Committee shall represent all of the company's shareholders.
