The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM authorize the Board, on one or several occasions during the period until the next AGM, to decide on the issuance in kind of class B shares up to 10 percent of the company's existing share capital on the date of the AGM.

This purpose of this authorization is to enable acquisitions with payment through a non-cash issue.

Authorization for the Board to decide on the repurchase and sale of treasury shares
(item 17)

The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM authorize the Board, on one or several occasions during the period until the next AGM, to decide on the purchase of a maximum number of class B treasury shares whereby the holding of treasury shares at no time exceeds 10 percent of all registered shares in the company. The shares shall be acquired on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm at a price that is within the registered price interval at any given time, defined as the interval between the highest bid price and the lowest ask price. The motive for the authorization is to give the Board greater freedom of action in optimizing the company’s capital structure.

It is furthermore proposed that the Board be authorized, on one or several occasions during the period until the next AGM, to decide on the sale of at most all class B treasury shares held by the company at any given time (i) on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm or (ii) in a manner other than a sale on a regulated market, whereby the Board shall be able to decide on the disposal of shares for payment in cash with deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emptive rights or as consideration for the acquisition of companies or operations. The sale of shares on a regulated market may take place only at a price that is within the registered price interval at any given time. The disposal of shares in a manner other than through a sale on a regulated market and where the sale takes place with deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emptive rights, or as consideration for the acquisition of companies or operations, may take place only at a price that is not lower than the market price on the date of transfer. The motive for the authorization is to give the Board greater freedom of action and scope to continuously adapt the company’s capital structure, as well as opportunity to finance future acquisitions. The reason for authorizing the Board, in connection with the sale of shares, to decide on the disposal of shares with deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emptive rights in a manner other than through a sale on a regulated market, is that the company can thereby dispose of the shares in a more timely manner in the event that the liquidity of the company’s share on the regulated market is limited on the date of transfer.
