Notice is hereby given of an extraordinary general meeting of SoftOx Solutions AS (the "Company") to be held on the 29 December 2021 at 10:00.

Pursuant to section 5-8 of the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act and due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the extraordinary general meeting will be held as a video conference meeting without physical attendance for the shareholders. Shareholders who wish to participate electronically must send a notice of attendance to the Company by 28 December 2021 at 12:00 in accordance with the attached notice of attendance form. Details for the video conference meeting will only be provided to shareholders who have given notice in advance.

Agenda:

  • 1. Election of chairman of the extraordinary general meeting and a person to co-sign the minutes
  • 2. Approval of the notice and the agenda

3. Share capital increase by debt conversion

Almhaug Bolig AS has exercised its right to convert approximately NOK 10 million of the loan granted to the Company on 13 October 2021 into new shares at a conversion price of NOK 38.55 per share pursuant to the terms of the loan agreement.

In connection with the proposed share capital increase by way of debt conversion, the board of directors has prepared, approved and signed a report in accordance with the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act section 10-2, cf. section 2-6. The report and a statement from the Company's auditor are attached to this notice as Schedule 4.

Based on the above, the Board proposes that the Company's general meeting passes the following resolution:

  • (i) The Company's share capital will be increased by NOK 5,188.06 by issuing 259,403 new shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 0.02.
  • (ii) The new shares are issued at a conversion price of NOK 38.55 per share, and a total conversion price of NOK 9,999,985.65.
  • (iii) The new shares will be issued to Almhaug Bolig AS.
  • (iv) The new shares will be subscribed for by Almhaug Bolig AS. Subscription for the new shares shall be made no later than 31 December 2021 on a separate subscription form.
  • (v) Settlement of the new shares will be made by offsetting the subscriber's claim of NOK 9,999,985.65 against the Company under a short-time loan agreement dated 13 October 2021. Such set-off shall take effect from the time the new shares are subscribed for.
  • (vi) The new shares carry rights to dividends from the date the capital increase is registered in the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises (Nw: Foretaksregisteret).

  • (vii) The Company's estimated expenses in connection to the capital increase are NOK 50,000.

  • (viii) § 4 of the Company's articles of association is amended to reflect the share capital and the number of shares following the capital increase.

4. Authorization to increase the share capital in relation to a repair issue and subsequent share capital increases

Following the issue of shares in connection with the private placement that took place on 15 December 2021, the board no longer has an authority to issue shares. The board generally considers it appropriate to have an authorization to increase the share capital and issue new shares. The authorization will, among other, be used to issue shares in connection with the possible repair issue as announced in connection with the private placement on 15 December 2021.

The board proposes that the Company's general meeting passes the following resolution:

  • (i) The board of directors is authorized in accordance with the Norwegian Private Limited Companies Act section 10-14 (1) to increase the Company's share capital by up to NOK 40,300. Within the total amount, the power of attorney may be used several times.
  • (ii) The authorization may be used to issue shares as consideration in connection with acquisitions, in connection with the exercise of options to subscribe for shares and to raise new equity to strengthen the Company's financing.
  • (iii) The authorization is valid until the annual general meeting in 2022, however no later than 30 June 2022.
  • (iv) The shareholders' pre-emptive right pursuant to section 10-4 of the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act may be waived.
  • (v) The authorization includes capital increases against deposits in cash and against deposits in assets other than cash, cf. the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act section 10-2. The authorization includes the right to incur special obligations for the company, cf. the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act section 10-2. The authorization includes a decision on a merger in accordance with the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act section 13-5.
  • (vi) The previous authorizations for the issue of shares granted by the general meeting to the board are replaced by this authorization.

SOFTOX SOLUTIONS AS

Report in accordance with the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act section 10-2

(English office translation)

This report is issued by the board of directors of SoftOx Solutions AS (the "Company") on 15 December 2021 in accordance with the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act section 10-2.

1. Background

On 13 October 2021, the Company's largest shareholder, through Almhaug Bolig AS, granted the Company a short-term, interest-free and unsecured loan with a principal of NOK 15 million (the "Loan"). According to the loan agreement, the Loan shall in principle be settled against cash, but Almhaug Bolig AS has the right to convert the Loan into new shares in the Company at a subscription price per share of NOK 38.55. The agreed subscription price for new shares represented the volume-weighted average trading price of the Company's shares in the 5-day period prior to the loan agreement.

In connection with the private placement (the "Private Placement") of 915,000 new shares in the Company, which was completed on 15 December 2021, Almhaug Bolig AS has exercised the right to convert parts of the Loan into shares in the Company. In connection with this, the Company and Almhaug Bolig AS have agreed, subject to the completion of the Private Placement and approval by the Company's general meeting, that NOK 9,999,985.65 of the Loan will be settled by issuing 259,403 new shares in the Company at a conversion price of NOK 38.55 per share.

As such, the board has decided to propose to the Company's general meeting that the Company's share capital be increased by NOK 5,188.06 by issuing 259,403 new shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 0.02, at a subscription price of NOK 38.55 per share.

The new shares shall be subscribed for by Almhaug Bolig AS. The new shares will be subscribed for in a separate subscription document.

2. Set-off

As consideration for the new shares, Almhaug Bolig will set off part of its claim of the outstanding principal of the Loan. The debt to be set off is NOK 9,999,985.65.

The debt to be set off is accounted for in the Company's accounts and constitutes a real obligation for the Company.

The conversion price under the loan agreement and thus the proposed subscription price of NOK 38.55 per share is equal to the volume-weighted average trading price for the Company's shares in the last five days prior to the date of the Loan agreement minus five percent.

3. Statement

The board declares that the value of the debt to be set off at least corresponds to the agreed consideration, i.e. the total nominal value of the 259,403 shares to be issued each with a nominal value of NOK 0.02 and a total nominal value of NOK 5,188.06, as well as a share premium of NOK 9,994,797.59.

Our responsibility is to make a statement on the report based on our review.

We conducted our review and issue our statement in accordance with the Norwegian standard SA 3802-1 "The auditor's statements and reports pursuant to Norwegian company legislation".

Til generalforsamlingen i Softox Solutions AS

Uttalelse om redegjørelse ved oppgjør av aksjeinnskudd ved motregning i Softox Solutions AS

Vi har kontrollert redegjørelsen datert 15.12.2021 i forbindelse med beslutning om at Almhaug Bolig AS skal kunne gjøre opp innskuddsforpliktelse for aksjer i Softox Solutions AS ved motregning. Redegjørelsen inneholder styrets presentasjon av opplysninger i overensstemmelse med de krav som stilles i aksjeloven § 2-6 første ledd nr. 1 til 4 og styrets erklæring om at gjelden som skal motregnes, minst svarer til vederlaget.

Styrets ansvar for redegjørelsen

Styret er ansvarlig for å utarbeide redegjørelsen.

Revisors oppgaver og plikter

Vår oppgave er å uttale oss om redegjørelsen på grunnlag av vår kontroll.

Vi har utført vår kontroll og avgir vår uttalelse i samsvar med standard for attestasjonsoppdrag SA 3802-1 "Revisors uttalelser og redegjørelser etter aksjelovgivningen". Standarden krever at vi planlegger og utfører kontroller for å oppnå betryggende sikkerhet for at gjelden som skal kunne motregnes minst svarer til det avtalte vederlaget. Arbeidet omfatter kontroll av at gjelden er en reell betalingsforpliktelse og at beskrivelsen av den er hensiktsmessig og dekkende som grunnlag for vurdering av hvorvidt gjelden kan motregnes som oppgjør for innskuddsforpliktelse for aksjer.

Etter vår oppfatning er innhentet bevis tilstrekkelig og hensiktsmessig som grunnlag for vår konklusjon.

Konklusjon

Etter vår mening inneholder redegjørelsen de opplysningene aksjeloven § 2-6 første ledd nr. 1 til 4 krever og den gjeld som skal kunne motregnes svarer etter vår mening minst til det avtalte vederlaget for aksjer i Softox Solutions AS pålydende NOK 5 188,06 samt overkurs NOK 9 994 797,59.
