Item 7 – Resolution on approval of the Board’s decision to issue a new issue of shares with pre-emption rights for existing shareholders
The board of directors, resolved on 17 December 2018, subject to approval by the general meeting, to issue shares with pre-emption rights for existing shareholders on the main terms set out below.
The board’s resolution implies that the Company’s share capital may be increased with not more than SEK 25,913,397.00 by an issue of not more than 129,566,985 new shares on the terms and conditions set out below.
The right to subscribe for new shares shall belong to those persons who on the record date for the new issue of shares are recorded as shareholders of the Company, where one (1) existing share shall entitle to three (3) subscription rights and one (1) subscription right shall entitle to subscribe for one (1) new share.
In the event that all new shares are not subscribed for with pre-emption rights the board of directors shall, within the limit of the maximum number of shares to be issued, resolve on allocation of shares that are not subscribed for with pre-emption rights. Such allocation shall firstly be made to subscribers that have used subscription rights in the issue in relation to the amount of subscription rights that each subscriber has used to subscribe for new shares and secondly to other subscribers in relation to subscribed amount, and if this cannot be made, through drawing of lots.
A new share that has been issued by virtue of a warrant entitles to participation in the new issue of shares, provided that such subscription has been executed no later than Friday 11 January 2019.
The record date for participation in the new issue of shares shall be Thursday 24 January 2019.
The new shares are issued at a subscription price of SEK 0.60 per share.
Subscription with pre-emption rights shall be made by cash payment during the period from 28 January 2019 to 15 February 2019. The board of directors shall have the right to extend the subscription and payment period.
Subscription without pre-emption rights shall be made on a subscription list during the period from 28 January 2019 to 15 February 2019. Payment shall be made in full by cash payment no later than five business days after information on allotment has been sent out. The board of directors shall have the right to extend the subscription and payment period.
The new shares entitle to dividends for the first time on the first record date for dividends that takes place after the issue of new shares has been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and been recorded in the share register kept by Euroclear Sweden AB.
The resolution on new issue of units is subject to approval by the general meeting and requires that the company’s articles of association are amended.
The managing director, or any other person appointed by the board of directors, shall have the right to take those smaller measures that may be required in order to register the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB.
Item 8 – Resolution on authorization for the board of directors to issue new shares
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting of shareholders resolves to authorize the board of directors for the period up to the next annual meeting of shareholders to resolve, whether on one or several occasions, to adopt decisions on an issue of shares with deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights.
The board of directors shall be authorized to adopt decisions on an issue by way of set-off or otherwise on terms and conditions. Other terms shall be determined by the board of directors based on the market situation prevailing at the time of the board of director’s resolution on an issue.
The share capital may not increase by more than 4,000,000 SEK in total by virtue of this authorization, corresponding to 20,000,000 shares.
The reason to propose that the board of directors shall be authorized to resolve on a new issue of shares with deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights is that the company shall be able to fulfil its obligations under certain subscription undertakings received by the Company in connection with the new issue of shares in item 7 above.
The subscription price for newly issued shares or warrants shall correspond to the market value for the shares as estimated by the board of directors.
A resolution on authorization for the board of directors to issue new shares is valid only if supported by shareholders holding at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.
Information at the Extraordinary General Meeting
The board of directors and the managing director shall, upon request by any shareholder and where the board of directors determines that it can be done without material harm to the Company, provide information of circumstances which may affect the assessment of a matter on the agenda.
Documentation
The board of directors’ complete proposal under items 6-8 above as well as other documents according to the Swedish Companies Act will be held available at the Company’s office (address above) and on the website ChromoGenics not later than two weeks before the meeting, i.e. not later than Thursday 3 January 2019.
