§ 9 Conversion provision
A C1 share shall, following a resolution by the board of directors, be converted into an ordinary share. The board of directors shall as soon as possible and no later than within two weeks after the below condition for conversion has been satisfied resolve on such conversion.
The condition for conversion is that the volume-weighted average price of the company’s ordinary share on Nasdaq Stockholm during five trading days immediately preceding the day falling three years after the day on which the C1 share was subscribed for (the “Final Price 2029”) amounts to at least 125 per cent (the “Hurdle Price 2026”) of the latest closing price of the company’s ordinary share on Nasdaq Stockholm when the C1 share was subscribed for (the “Start Price 2026”).
If applicable, a resolution on conversion of C1 shares into ordinary shares shall also be conditional upon any potentially required regulatory approvals having been obtained.
If the condition for conversion is fulfilled, the board of directors shall resolve to convert a certain number of C1 shares into an equal number of ordinary shares. The number of C1 shares to be converted shall be calculated in accordance with the below formula. When applying the formula, the Final Price 2029 shall, irrespective of the actual volume-weighted average price during the relevant period, be limited to a price corresponding to 250 per cent of the Start Price 2026 (the “Price Cap 2026”).
|
Number of C1 shares to be converted = |
(Final Price 2029 - Hurdle Price 2026) |
|
Final Price 2029 |
The recalculation factor upon issuance of the C1 shares amounts to one (1).
Only a whole number of C1 shares may be converted. If the application of the above formula would result in a decimal number, the number shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of C1 shares.
Conversion shall be made on a pro rata basis in relation to each shareholder’s holding of C1 shares at the time of the resolution on conversion.
The board of directors shall immediately following a resolution to convert C1 shares into ordinary shares notify such conversion to the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Sw. Bolagsverket) for registration. The conversion is executed when registration has been completed and the conversion has been recorded in the central securities depository register.
The Hurdle Price 2026, the Price Cap 2026 and the recalculation factor shall be subject to recalculation in the event of a reverse share split or share split, bonus issue, rights issue, dividend, reduction of the share capital with repayment to shareholders, partial demerger, repurchase of shares by way of an offer to all shareholders or similar corporate events occurring prior to conversion, based on customary principles for recalculation in option- and share-based incentive programmes on the equity market, if such recalculation is fair and reasonable in order to put the holder of C1 shares in substantially the same financial position as before such event. Such recalculation shall be carried out by the board of directors and confirmed by an independent party.
§ 10 Redemption provision
Reduction of the share capital, however not below the minimum permitted share capital, may be made following a resolution by the board of directors pursuant to this provision.
Following the board of directors’ resolution on conversion of C1 shares into ordinary shares pursuant to Section 9 of the articles of association or the board of directors having established that the Final Price 2029 does not exceed the Hurdle Price 2026 and consequently that no conversion of C1 shares shall take place, the board of directors shall resolve on redemption of all C1 shares that have not been converted into ordinary shares. No consideration shall be paid upon such redemption of C1 shares.
Redemption of C1 shares may also take place in other cases upon request by the holder of C1 shares and following a resolution by the board of directors. Upon such redemption of C1 shares, the consideration shall amount to the lower of (a) the subscription price for the C1 share and (b) the market value of the C1 share at the time of the holder’s request for redemption, as determined by the board of directors based on an independent valuation.
Upon a resolution to reduce the share capital through redemption of C1 shares, an amount corresponding to the reduction amount shall be allocated to the statutory reserve if the requisite funds are available.
The board of directors shall immediately following a resolution on redemption of C1 shares notify such redemption to the Swedish Companies Registration Office for registration.
