"The company share capital is NOK 4.584.334,00 split on 18.337.336 shares at par value of NOK 0,25 per share. The shares shall be registered at the Norwegian Registry of securities (VPS)."

  1. The Board of Directors suggest to the general assembly that the articles of association § 1 changes from:

"The company name is Medi-Stim ASA. The company is a public limited liability company. (ASA)"

To:

"The company name is MediStim ASA. The company is a public limited liability company. (ASA)"

  1. The Board of Directors suggest an amendment to articles of association §6 to include the following:

"When documents relating to matters to be considered by the general assembly are made available to shareholders by publication on the company's website, the statutory requirement to send the documents


to shareholders does not apply. This includes documents that pursuant to law shall be included in or appended to the notice of the general assembly."

  1. Approval of the Board of Director’s suggestion to the general meeting to renew the Board of Director’s authorisation to increase share capital.

A. The Board of Director’s is authorised to increase share capital up to NOK 471,533 by issuing up to 1,886,132 new shares at par value of NOK 0.25. The share price and other terms when issuing new shares are set by the board of directors. The board of directors can increase the share capital once or in several different occasions.

B. In case of a change in par value of the share as a result of a split, fond emission or something similar, is the authorisation adjusted accordingly with the number of shares that can be issued. The share price and other terms are adjusted according to generally known principles for such adjustments, but always within the regulations in the Public Limited Companies Act.

C. The authorisation shall also include capital increase against other assets than cash deposits.

D. The shareholders preferential rights to subscribe shares can be set aside by the board according to the Public Limited Companies Act § 10-4.

E. The authorisation shall include a decision including a fusion according to Public Limited Companies Act § 13-5.

F. The authorisation is valid until the next ordinary general meeting.

In line with the company goals the Board of Director’s will assess continuously business opportunities, further development and expansion of the business. In order to secure flexibility both time wise and for the financing, the board of director’s prefer to have the authorisation from the general meeting to have the opportunity to strengthen equity by issuing new shares against cash deposits or other assets, also in relation to a fusion. The authorization can be used to issue shares in relation to convertible loans, acquisition of companies or other commitments in relation to industrial partners or strategic partners.

The purpose of setting aside the preferential rights for existing shareholders to subscribe new shares is to ensure flexibility for the company.

  1. Approval of the Board of Director’s suggestion to renew the power of attorney to purchase own shares on the following conditions:

A. The authorisation is valid until the next general meeting.

B. The company can purchase shares at par value up to NOK 464,038.50, which are 1,856,154 shares at today’s par value.

C. The highest price per share shall maximum be NOK 100.00 per share.

D. The lowest price per share shall minimum be NOK 0.25 per share.

E. The Board of Director’s can freely decide how to purchase the shares as long as the principle for equal treatment is followed.

The purpose of the suggestion is that the company wishes to have available different methods to obtain and secure optimal capital structure.

Notice on participation at the general meeting should be sent to the company one day before the meeting.
