§ 5.
The number of shares in the company shall be not less than 115,000,000 and not more than 460,000,000.

In such case, allotment of units shall firstly be made to the persons that have also subscribed for units by exercising unit rights, regardless if the subscriber was a registered shareholder on the record date or not, and, in the case of oversubscription, the allotment shall be made in relation (pro-rata) to the quantity of unit rights that was exercised for subscription, and, to the extent this is not possible, by drawing lots. Secondly, allotment of units shall be granted to other persons that only have applied for subscription without exercising unit rights, and, in the case of over-subscription, allotment shall be made in relation (pro-rata) to the number of units that each have applied to subscribe for, and, to the extent this is not possible, by drawing lots. Thirdly, the remaining units shall be allotted to the parties that have undertaken to guarantee the rights issue in accordance with their respective guarantee commitment agreements.
- Subscription of units with unit rights shall be made by simultaneous cash payment during the period from 15 November 2022 to 29 November 2022.

- The Board of Directors, or the person appointed by the Board of Directors, shall have the right to make the minor adjustments to the above resolution that may prove necessary in connection with registration at the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
The resolution on the rights issue of units presupposes and is conditional upon the limits for share capital and number of shares in the Articles of Association being changed in accordance with the Board of Directors' proposal to the Extraordinary General Meeting.
