The board of directors proposes that the board of directors is authorised to resolve on issues of shares, convertibles and warrants on the following terms and conditions.
The board of directors may exercise the authorisation on one or more occasions before the next annual general meeting. The total number of shares that are (a) issued (b) issued through the conversion of convertibles or (c) issued through the exercise of warrants issued under the authorisation, shall not exceed ten per cent of the total amount of shares in the company at the time of the resolution of the annual general meeting. The board of directors may resolve on issues of shares, convertibles and warrants with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights. If the board of directors resolves on an issue with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, the reason for the deviation shall be to (a) increase the company's financial flexibility or (b) use the shares, convertibles or warrants as consideration (including earn-out consideration) for, or the financing of, acquisitions of companies or businesses. Issued shares, convertibles and warrants may be paid in cash, in kind or by set-off.
The board of directors proposes that the board of directors is authorised to resolve on acquisitions and transfers of own shares on the following terms and conditions.
The board of directors may exercise the authorisation on one or several occasions before the next annual general meeting.
Acquisition may be made of so many shares that the company's holding of own shares, following each acquisition, amounts to a maximum of five per cent of all shares in the company. Acquisition of own shares must be made on Nasdaq Stockholm. Acquisition of own shares shall be made at a price per share within the at each time prevailing price interval for the shares on Nasdaq Stockholm. Payment for the acquired shares shall be made in cash.
Transfers may be made of own shares held by the company at the time of the board of directors' resolution. Transfers of own shares may be made on Nasdaq Stockholm or by other means than on Nasdaq Stockholm. Transfers on Nasdaq Stockholm may only be made at a price per share within the at each time prevailing price interval for the share on Nasdaq Stockholm. Transfers by other means than on Nasdaq Stockholm shall be made at market terms, meaning that a market discount compared to the price of the share on Nasdaq Stockholm may be applied. Payment for shares transferred by other means than on Nasdaq Stockholm may be made in cash, in kind or by set-off. Transfers by other means than on Nasdaq Stockholm may be made with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights.
The purpose of an acquisition or a transfer of own shares, and the reason for any transfer with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, shall be to (a) increase the company's financial flexibility, (b) use the shares, convertibles or warrants as consideration (including earn-out consideration) for, or the financing of, acquisitions of companies or businesses or (c) bring in new shareholders of strategic importance to the company.
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to establish an incentive program under which the company offers employees within the group to acquire warrants in the company. The right to acquire warrants shall be granted to members of the extended senior management and key employees within the Instalco group as well as CEOs and key employees in subsidiaries.
The board of directors' proposal means that the general meeting, in one joint resolution, resolves (i) on the establishment of an incentive program, (ii) on a directed issue of not more than 2,350,000 warrants to the company and (iii) to approve that the company transfers warrants to the participants in the incentive program.
The proposal aims to create conditions for strengthening the motivation of employees whom the group has identified as significant and trusted in the short and long term. The board of directors considers that an incentive program following the presented proposal is to the benefit of both the group and the company's shareholders.
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves on a directed issue of a maximum of 2,350,000 warrants, resulting in increased share capital with a maximum of SEK 7,050 upon full exercise of the warrants, subject to such recalculation of the number of shares each warrant entitles subscription of that may be made in accordance with the complete terms and conditions for the warrants.
In addition, the following conditions shall apply to the decision.
The board of directors' complete proposal and the complete terms and conditions of the warrants will be available on the company's website no later than three weeks prior to the annual general meeting. In accordance with the terms and conditions, the subscription price, as well as the number of shares that each warrant entitles to subscription of, may be recalculated in the event of, among other things, a new issue or a bonus issue.
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting approves the company's transfer of warrants on the following terms.
The right to acquire warrants from the company shall be granted to selected categories of employees within the group (the "Participants"). The Participants in the program shall be divided into two groups: group 1 and group 2. Group 1 shall consist of the extended senior management and key employees within the Instalco group. Group 2 shall consist of CEOs and other key employees in subsidiaries (approximately 210 persons in total). In line with the above, the board of directors shall decide which persons that are to be included in each group.
employment in or assignment for the group ceases during the term of the warrants.
At full subscription with the support of all warrants, a maximum of 2,350,000 new shares may be issued, corresponding to a dilution of approximately 0.9 percent of both the current number of outstanding shares and the maximum number of additional shares from previous programs, however, subject to any re-calculation of the number of shares each warrant entitles subscription of.
The company's earnings per share will not be affected by the issue as the exercise price of the warrants exceeds the current market value of the share at the time of the issue. The company's future earnings per share may be affected by the potential dilution effect of the warrants if the company reports both a positive result and the exercise price falls below market value.
The warrants will be transferred at market value and do not entail any social security contributions for the group in Sweden or Finland. In Norway, social security contributions for the group arise in connection with the possible exercise of the warrants, according to a percentage of currently 14.1 percent. In addition to this, no benefit will arise and thus no personnel costs for the company. The warrant program will entail certain limited costs in the form of external consulting fees and administration regarding the warrant program.
Svalner Tax & Transaction will calculate the market value of the warrants according to the Black & Scholes valuation model in connection with the first transfer of warrants to the Participants.
The principles for the warrant program have been worked out by the company's board of directors. The proposal has been prepared with the support of external advisors and after consultations with shareholders. The board has subsequently decided to present this proposal to the general meeting. In addition to the officials who prepared the question under
instructions from the board, no employee who may be covered by the program participated in the design of the conditions.
The annual general meeting 2020 resolved to implement an incentive program consisting of 989,256 warrants of series 2020/2023 directed to senior executives and other key employees within the group. Each warrant of series 2020/2023 entitles the holder to subscribe for one new share in the company. Subscription may take place between 22 May 2023 and 16 June 2023, or such earlier dates as determined by some circumstances as specified in the terms and conditions for the warrants.
The annual general meeting 2022 resolved to implement an additional incentive program consisting of not more than 2,600,000 warrants of series 2022/2025 directed to members of the extended senior management and key employees within the group as well as CEOs and key employees in subsidiaries. Each warrant of series 2022/2025 entitles the holder to subscribe for one new share in the company. Subscription may take place between 22 May 2025 and 16 June 2025, or such earlier dates as determined by some circumstances as specified in the terms and conditions for the warrants.
The complete terms and conditions for the warrants of series 2020/2023 and warrants of series 2022/2025 are available at the company's website, www.instalco.se.
