The board of directors’ proposed resolution concerning issue and transfer of share warrants (item 7)

The board of directors proposes that the EGM resolves to, with deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights, issue share warrants on the following main terms and conditions:

  1. not more than 2,500,000 warrants shall be issued, whereby each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one share,
  1. with deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights, a wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”) shall be entitled to subscribe for all issued share warrants; the Subsidiary shall be entitled to subscribe for the warrants free of charge,
  1. the subscription for the share warrants shall be made on the subscription list within a week after the issue resolution,
  1. the Subsidiary shall, as instructed by the board of directors of the Company, transfer the share warrants to current and future key persons in the Company’s group, according to the allocation decided by the Board in accordance with the following principles:
Category Maximum amount of warrants Maximum amount per person
  1. CEO (maximum one person)
1,000,000 1,000,000
  1. Management and key personnel, current and additional (maximum 25 employees)
1,500,000 400,000

Warrants not transferred as above may be offered to new key persons, in accordance with the above-mentioned principles of allocation,

  1. transfer from the Subsidiary to each person shall be made free of charge during the period 25 – 28 February 2020. If the transfer cannot be made during the specified time period due to that the acquiring party has access to insider information, the transfer shall be made as soon as possible after the access to insider information has ceased. This also applies during so-called “closed periods” according to the EU Market Abuse Regulation,
  1. the time period for exercising the share warrants will be from, and including, 1 March 2023 up to and including 31 March 2023,
  1. the highest amount by which the share capital can be increased is SEK 2,500,000,
  1. each warrant entitles subscribers to subscribe for a new share at a subscription price amounting to SEK 13; however not less than the fair market value of the share on the date of grant according to section e),
  1. the new shares issued under the warrants shall entitle to dividend as from the first record date for dividend to occur after the subscription has been affected. 

 The reason for the deviation from shareholders' pre-emption rights is that the Company wants to offer key persons the opportunity to participate in the Company's future performance. A long-term economic interest in the Company is assumed to stimulate the executives' interest in the business, increase motivation and strengthen the involvement in the Company group. Thus, the Board of Directors consider it to be beneficial for the Company and the shareholders to offer other key persons in the Company to acquire share warrants in the Company.

Upon full exercise of the warrants, the share capital will be increased with SEK 2,500,000 by a new issue of a maximum of 2,500,000 shares, each with a quota value of SEK 1. However, recalculation may be made in the manner as set out in the complete terms and conditions of the option program. Upon full exercise of the proposed warrants in this proposal and warrants in incentive program 2017/2020, the dilution effect will correspond to approximately 4.5 percent of the total shares and of the votes. The dilution effect has been calculated as the number of additional shares and votes if the warrants are fully utilized in relation to the sum of the current number of shares and votes and the number of additional shares and votes at full utilization of the warrants. Oversubscription or insufficient subscription in the issue may not occur. 

The warrant program is based upon share warrants, which, when exercised, will result in a dilution of the share capital. In addition to compensation for own work as well as external advisors in connection with the implementation of the program, there are additional costs for Social Security and Medicare contributions for the Company. In total, these costs are estimated to no more than 500 KSEK. The Company has chosen to not take any special measures to hedge these costs.

This proposal from the Board has been prepared by the Board in consultation with external legal and financial advisors.

Resolution to authorise the Chief Executive Officer to make adjustments to the resolutions (item 8)

The Board of Directors proposes that the EGM authorises the Chief Executive Officer, or the person appointed by the Chief Executive Officer, to make minor adjustments and clarifications of the resolutions adopted by the EGM to the extent that such should be required for the registration and execution of the resolutions.

Further information 

A resolution under 7 is valid only if supported by shareholders representing at least nine-tenths of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the EGM. The complete documentation for the resolution will be available at the company and on the company's website, www.dignitana.com at least two weeks prior to the EGM. The documents are sent, free of charge, upon request to shareholders who provide their postal address.

The shareholders are notified of their right to request information in accordance with chapter 7 section 32 Companies act.
