Authorisation of the Board of Directors to resolve on a share issue and an
issue of special rights entitling to shares
The Board of Directors proposes to the Extraordinary General Meeting that the
General Meeting authorises the Board of Directors to resolve on a share issue
and an issue of special rights entitling to shares as referred to in Chapter
10, Section 1 of the Limited Liability Companies Act in one or several
installments, either against payment or without payment. The aggregate amount
of shares to be issued, including the shares to be received based on special
rights, shall not exceed 2,500,000 shares. The proposed maximum amount of the
authorisation corresponds approximately to 11 per cent of all the shares in the
company. The proposed maximum amount of the authorisation and the authorisation
to resolve on a share issue and issue of special rights entitling to shares,
amounting to maximum 7,500,000 shares given to the Board of Directors by the
Annual General Meeting of shareholders on 22 March 2013, correspond together
approximately to 45 per cent of all the shares in the company. The Board of
Directors may resolve to issue either new shares or to transfer treasury shares
potentially held by the company.
The authorisation entitles the Board of Directors to resolve on all conditions
for the share issue and the issue of special rights entitling to shares,
including the right to derogate from the pre-emptive right of the shareholders.
The authorisation is proposed to be used to strengthen the balance sheet and
financial position of the company or to other purposes to be resolved on by the
Board of Directors.
The authorisation is proposed to be in force until the next Annual General
Meeting. The authorisation does not cancel the earlier authorisation to resolve
on a share issue and issue of special rights entitling to shares given to the
Board of Directors by the Annual General Meeting of shareholders on 22 March
2013.
