Shareholders wishing to attend a general meeting must notify the company of intent to participate no later than the day specified in the notice to the general meeting. This day may not be a Sunday, other public holiday, Saturday, Midsummers Eve, Christmas Eve or New Years Eve and may not take place earlier than the fifth business day prior to the general meeting.

Shareholders may bring one (1) or two (2) advisors to the general meeting, subject to the shareholder notifying this according to what is set out above.

As there is no requirement to include information regarding the record date in the Articles of Association, since this is regulated by the Companies Act (2005: 551), and as the current wording of paragraph 9 of the Articles of Association is not compatible with an expected change in the Companies Act which is expected to enter into force in 2020, the Board of Directors proposes that paragraph 9 of the Articles of Association shall be amended as set out above.

A valid resolution pursuant to this item requires that the resolution be supported by shareholders representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the annual general meeting.

Resolution regarding authorizing the Board of Directors to resolve to issue new shares, issue convertible loan notes and/or issue warrants (item 13)

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting authorizes the Board to resolve, on one or more occasions, during the period and until the end of the next annual general meeting, to increase the Companys share capital through new issue of shares, convertible loan notes, and/or warrants to the extent permitted by the Articles of Association from time to time.

New issue of shares, as well as issue of warrants and convertible loan notes, shall be able to take place with or without deviation from the shareholders pre-emption right, against cash payment, for payment in kind, by way of set-off, or on conditions following from Chapter 2, Section 5 of the Swedish Companies Act. According to Chapter 16 of the Swedish Companies Act, this authorization does not authorize the board of directors to resolve on issue to Board Directors and/or employees of the Company.

A valid resolution pursuant to this item requires that the resolution be supported by shareholders representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the annual general meeting.

Resolution on approval of the board of directors decision to issue new shares with deviation from the shareholders pre-emption right (item 14)

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting approve the board of directors resolution to increase the Companys share capital by no more than SEK 213,611.04 due to the issue of up to 2,591,140 new shares.

The new shares shall be issued at a subscription price of SEK 1.50 per share, which corresponds to approximately 21 per cent discount based on the closing price on 5 May 2020.

Subscription of new shares was completed on 18 May 2020 in accordance with the boards resolution. The right to subscribe for the new shares was, disapplying from the shareholders pre-emption rights, vested in Truls Baklid, Jakob Leitner and Thomas Seifried (employees of the Company) and to the board member Hans Othar Blix. In total, 2,524,474 new shares were subscribed for.

The reason for derogating the shareholders pre-emption right is that the employees and the member of the Board, through their own investment, should be able to access and work for a positive value development of the Companys shares and thus achieve alignment of interest with the Companys shareholders.

The new shares entitle the holder to a dividend as from the date on which the shares are entered in the share register maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB.

A valid resolution pursuant to this item requires that the resolution be supported by shareholders representing at least nine-tenths (9/10) of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the annual general meeting.

Resolution to a) approve the Board of Directors proposed new share-based incentive program through b) directed issue of warrants and c) approval of transfer of warrants (item 15)

The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to approve the Board of Directors decision on 6 May 2020 on a share based incentive program for certain employees and consultants in the Company and its subsidiaries (the Incentive Program 2020/2023A) in accordance with what is stated under section a) below.

In order to secure the Companys commitments under the Incentive Program 2020/2023A, the Board of Directors also proposes that the annual general meeting shall resolve on a directed issue of warrants in accordance with what is stated under section b) below and resolve to approve the transfer of warrants to certain employees and consultants in the Company and its subsidiaries as specified under section c) below.

a) Resolution on the adoption of a new share-based incentive program

The Board propose that the general meeting resolves to adopt the Incentive Program 2020/2023A on the following principal terms and conditions:

*The allocation of warrants in each category will partly be subject to each participant, holding warrants under the previous Employee Stock Option Program 2018 and/or the Employee Stock Option Program 2019, waiving all its rights under the Employee Stock Option Program 2018 and/or the Employee Stock Option Program 2019. In this respect, the allocation will be made on a 1:1 ratio, implying that each holder will be offered one new warrant in the Incentive Program 2020/2023A in exchange for waiving its right to one warrant in a previous program. For the avoidance of doubt, holders of warrants in the Employee Stock Option Program 2018 and/or the Employee Stock Option Program 2019 that are no longer active consultants or employed by the Company or its subsidiaries will not be subject for this offer.

b) Resolution on a directed issue of warrants

In order to enable the Companys delivery of shares according to the Incentive Program 2020/2023A and to secure related costs, primarily social security contributions, the Board of Directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves on a directed issue of a maximum of 9,000,000 warrants and on approval of transfer of warrants on the following principal terms and conditions:

c) Resolution on approval of transfer of warrants

The Board of Directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to approve that the Subsidiary may transfer warrants to participants in the Incentive Program 2020/2023A without consideration in connection with warrants being exercised in accordance with the conditions under section a) above or otherwise disposing of the warrants to secure the Companys commitments and costs in relation to the Incentive Program 2020/2023A.

Additional information on the Incentive Program 2020/2023

The reason for the adoption of the Incentive Program 2020/2023A and the deviation from shareholders pre-emptive right to subscribe for new warrants is to be able to create opportunities for the Company and its subsidiaries to retain competent personnel by offering a long-term ownership commitment for the employees. Such ownership involvement is expected to stimulate employees to increase their interest in the business and the earnings trend and increase the sense of belonging to the Company.

The proposal has been prepared by the Companys Board of Directors. Stein Revelsby, CEO and director in the Company, has not participated in the preparation of the proposal.

The Board of Directors considers that the Incentive Program 2020/2023A will cause costs in the form of accounting costs and partly in the form of employers social contributions.

A valid resolution pursuant to this item requires that the resolution be supported by shareholders representing at least nine-tenths (9/10) of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the annual general meeting.

Resolution to a) approve by shareholder Fougner Invest AS proposed share-based incentive program through b) directed issue of warrants and c) approval of transfer of warrants (item 16)

Fougner Invest AS, shareholder in the Company, proposes that the general meeting resolves on a share based incentive program for the board of directors in the Company (the Incentive Program 2020/2023B) on the same terms as the Incentive Program 2020/2023A in item 15 above.

In order to secure the Companys commitments under the Incentive Program 2020/2023B, Fougner Invest ASs also proposes that the annual general meeting shall resolve on a directed issue of warrants in accordance with what is stated under section b) below and resolve to approve the transfer of warrants to certain the board of directors in the Company as specified under section c) below.

a) Resolution on the adoption of a share-based incentive program

Fougner Invest AS propose that the general meeting resolves to adopt the Incentive Program 2020/2023B on the following principal terms and conditions:

b) Resolution on a directed issue of warrants

In order to enable the Companys delivery of shares according to the Incentive Program 2020/2023B and to secure related costs, primarily social security contributions, Fougner Invest AS propose that the annual general meeting resolves on a directed issue of a maximum of 450,000 warrants and on approval of transfer of warrants on the following principal terms and conditions:

c) Resolution on approval of transfer of warrants

Fougner Invest AS further propose that the annual general meeting resolves to approve that the Subsidiary may transfer warrants to participants in the extended Incentive Program 2020/2023B without consideration in connection with warrants being exercised in accordance with the conditions under section a) above or otherwise disposing of the warrants to secure the Companys commitments and costs in relation to the extended Incentive Program 2020/2023B.

A valid resolution pursuant to this item requires that the resolution be supported by shareholders representing at least nine-tenths (9/10) of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the annual general meeting.

Resolution to authorize the Board of Directors to undertake minor adjustments of the resolutions (item 17)
