Item 13: Resolution regarding incentive program 2024/2027 for senior executives and employees through issuance of warrants and approval of transfer of the warrants

Background and rationale

The Board of Directors of the Company proposes that the general meeting resolves to implement an incentive program through issuance of warrants to senior executives, key persons and other employees within the company group and to ExpreS2ion Biotechnologies ApS (the "Subsidiary") with subsequent transfer to senior executives, key persons and other employees within the company group (the "Incentive Program 2024/2027") in accordance with the below.

The purpose of the proposal is to establish conditions to maintain and increase the motivation of senior executives, key persons and other employees within the company group. The Board of Directors finds that it is in all shareholders' interest that senior executives, key persons, and other key employees which are considered important to the development of the company group, have a long-term interest in developing high value of the Company's share. A long-term ownership engagement is expected to stimulate an increased interest for the business and result in a whole as well as to increase the motivation for the participants and to create a common interest for the Company's shareholders and the participant. Participation in the program will be offered to the employees which according to the Board of Directors' assessment have the largest impact on the Company's financial and operational development. The Board of Directors assesses that the aligned interests between the Company and the participants which are created by the program are sufficient to promote the long-term value-creation of the Company, which is why the program is not conditional upon any performance criteria.

Resolutions in accordance with items 13 a) - 13 b) below shall be made as one resolution and are therefore conditional on each other.

A description of other incentive programs, the preparation of the proposal, costs for the program and effect on important key figures etc. is presented below.

Item 13 a): Resolution regarding issue of warrants

The Board of Directors of the Company proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to issue a maximum of 2,000,000 warrants, which may result in a maximum increase in the Company's share capital of approximately SEK 222,222. The warrants shall entitle to subscription of new shares in the Company.

Otherwise, the following terms shall apply to the issuance:

The warrants shall be subscribed for by senior executives, key persons and other employees in the company group and the Subsidiary, with the right and obligation to, at one or several occasions, transfer the warrants to senior executives, key persons and other employees who are or will become employed by the company group, at a price equal to the fair market value of the warrant according to the Black & Scholes valuation model or at no consideration (subject to being tax neutral for the company group) and otherwise on the same terms as in the issuance.

The warrants shall be subscribed for no later than 7 June 2024 on a separate subscription list, with a right for the Board of Directors to extend the subscription period.

The Subsidiary has the right to subscribe for warrants without consideration and the senior executives, key persons and other employees in the company group have the right to subscribe for the warrants at a price equal to the warrant's market value, which shall be calculated according to the Black & Scholes valuation model or other generally accepted valuation model, or at no consideration (subject to being tax neutral for the company group).

Senior executives, key persons and other employees within the company group will within Incentive Program 2024/2027, be offered to subscribe for or acquire warrants divided into five different categories as set out below:

    1. The CEO shall be offered a maximum of 300,000 warrants,
    2. The other senior executives of the company group (up to 3 persons) shall be offered a maximum of 200,000 warrants each and not more than 600,000 warrants in total,
    3. Senior employees without management responsibility within the company group (up to 5 persons) shall be offered a maximum of 90,000 warrants each and not more than 450,000 warrants in total, and
    4. Intermediate employees within the company group (up to 13 persons) shall be offered a maximum of 50,000 warrants each and not more than 650,000 warrants in total.

The Subsidiary has the right to subscribe for the warrants which are not subscribed for by the employees in accordance with the above that later may be offered to current (who are not subscribing for their whole offered part) and future new senior executives, key persons and other employees within the company group in accordance with the proposed allotment principles.

Payment for subscribed warrants issued for payment shall be made in cash no later than on 7 June 2024, with a right for the Board of Directors to extend the payment date.

Each warrant entitles to subscription of one (1) new share in the Company during the period from and including 15 November 2027 until and including 15 December 2027 or an earlier or later date in accordance with the terms and conditions for the warrants.

The subscription price shall be determined to an amount equal to 130 percent of the volume weighted average price at Nasdaq First North Growth Market during ten trading days up to and including the day of the Annual General Meeting. The calculated subscription price shall be rounded to the nearest SEK 0.01, where SEK 0.005 shall be rounded upwards to SEK 0.01. The subscription price may not amount to less than the quota value of the Company's shares. Upon subscription of shares, the part of the subscription price that exceeds the quotient value of the shares shall be allocated to the non-restricted share premium fund.

A new share subscribed for by exercise of a warrant has a right to dividends as of the first record day for dividends following registration of the new share issue with the Companies Registration Office and after the share has been registered in the share register maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB.

The purpose of the issuance and the deviation from the shareholders preferential rights is to implement the Incentive Program 2024/2027.

In connection with the subscription of the warrants by the participants, the Company shall through an agreement reserve the right to repurchase the warrants, if the participant's employment or assignment in the company group ceases or if the participant, in turn, wishes to transfer the warrants.

The complete terms and conditions for the warrants are available at the Company and will be published on the Company's website no later than three weeks prior to the Annual General Meeting.

The Board of Directors or a person nominated by it, shall be authorized to make such minor adjustments as may be required in connection with registration of the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and, if applicable, Euroclear Sweden AB.

Item 13 b): Resolution regarding approval of transfer of the warrants

The Board of Directors of the Company proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to approve that the Subsidiary may transfer the number of warrants in the Company of series 2024/2027, that are not subscribed for by the categories as set out in item 13 a), to future senior executives, key persons and other employees within the company group.

The Company shall be entitled to retain warrants that later may be offered to current (who are not subscribing for their whole offered part) and future senior executives, key persons and other key employees within the company group in accordance with the proposed acquisition and allotment principles.

Future senior executives, key persons and other employees within the company group will, within Incentive Program 2024/2027, be offered to acquire warrants in accordance with the principles for allotment set out in item 13 a).

The Board of Directors of the Company will not participate in Incentive Program 2024/2027.

Notification to acquire warrants for current (who are not subscribing for their whole offered part) and future senior executives, key persons and other key employees shall be made during the period from 10 June 2024 until the next Annual General Meeting. The warrants shall be transferred to the participants before the next Annual General Meeting, provided that the transfers in accordance with item 13 a) do not exceed the maximum number of warrants issued.

Transfer of the warrants shall be made at a price equal to the warrant's market value at the time of transfer or at no consideration (subject to being tax neutral for the company group), which shall be calculated according to the Black & Scholes valuation model or other generally accepted valuation model. In connection with the transfer of the warrants to the participants, the Company or the Subsidiary shall through an agreement reserve the right to repurchase the warrants, if the participant's employment or assignment in the company group ceases or if the participant or if the participant wishes to transfer the warrants.

Preparations of the proposal for Incentive Program 2024/2027, costs for the program, other outstanding share-based incentive programs, dilution etc.

Incentive Program 2024/2027 has been prepared by the Board of Directors and external advisors in consultation with major shareholders. No employee that may be included in Incentive Program 2024/2027 has taken part in the drafting thereof.

Valuation

Subscription and transfer of the warrants shall be made at a price equal to the warrant's fair market value or at no consideration (subject to being tax neutral for the company group), which means no social fees should arise for the company group in connection with the subscription and transfer of warrants. The warrants fair market value, according to a preliminary valuation based on the market value of the underlying share of SEK 2.79, SEK 1.44 per warrant, assuming an exercise price of SEK 3.63 per share. The Black & Scholes valuation model has been used for the valuation, assuming a risk-free interest rate of 2.71 percent and a volatility of 80 percent.

Costs and effects on key figures

As the warrants are subscribed for and transferred at fair market value, or as applicable, no consideration provided that it is tax neutral for the company group, it is the Company's assessment that there will be no social fees for the Company as a result of the subscriptions and transfers. The costs will therefore consist only of minimal costs for the implementation and administration of Incentive Program 2024/2027. The Company's earnings per share are not affected by the issue of the warrants as the present value of the warrants' strike price exceeds the current market value of the share at the date of issue.         

Other outstanding share-based incentive programs

The Company's ongoing incentive programs are described in the year-end report for 2023 under section "Warrants" on page 28.

Dilution

Upon full exercise of all warrants, 2,000,000 new shares can be issued, which corresponds to a dilution of approximately 4 percent of the total number of shares and votes in the Company as per the day of this notice, however, subject to any potential adjustment which may occur under the terms and conditions for the warrants. Accordingly, Incentive Program 2024/2027 offers the employees the possibility to increase their shareholding in the Company to the corresponding figure.

Majority requirements

A resolution in accordance with items 13 a) and 13 b) requires support by shareholders holding not less than nine-tenths of both the shares voted and of the shares represented at the general meeting.

Item 14: Resolution regarding authorization for the board to issue shares, convertibles and/or warrants

The Board of Directors for the Company proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to authorize the Board of Directors during the period up until the next Annual General Meeting, on one or more occasions, to resolve to issue shares, convertibles and/or warrants, with or without preferential rights for the shareholders, corresponding to not more than 30 percent of the share capital of the Company after completed issuances based on the number of shares at the time of the Annual General Meeting, to be paid in cash, in kind and/or by way of set-off.

The purpose for the board to resolve on issuances with deviation from the shareholders preferential rights in accordance with the above is primarily for the purpose to broaden the shareholder base, raise new capital to increase flexibility of the Company or in connection with acquisitions. If issuances are carried out with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, such issue shall be made in accordance with customary market terms. If the Board of Directors finds it suitable in order to enable delivery of shares in connection with a share issuance as set out above it may be made at a subscription price corresponding to the share's quota value.

The Board of Directors or anyone appointed by the Board of Directors is given the right to make the adjustments necessary in connection with the registration of the resolution at the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

Majority requirements

A resolution in accordance with item 14 requires support by shareholders holding not less than two-thirds of both the shares voted and of the shares represented at the general meeting.

Item 15: Resolution to amend the articles of association

Due to a legislative change, which came into effect on 1 January 2024, it is now permitted for general meetings to be conducted entirely digitally. The Board of Directors of Expres2ion, as well as the Swedish Corporate Governance Board, believes that physical meetings are preferable, as the physical interaction between company management and shareholders is an important part of the successful Swedish model of corporate governance. However, under special circumstances, such as during a pandemic outbreak, there may arise a need to hold entirely digital general meetings.

With the aim of utilizing the options provided by the Swedish Companies Act, regarding the possibility for general meetings to be conducted digitally, the Board of Directors proposes that the second paragraph of § 10 in the articles of association be amended as follows.

§ 10 second paragraph (current wording)

The board of directors may resolve, ahead of a general meeting of the shareholders, that the shareholders shall be entitled to exercise their voting rights by post prior to the meeting.

§ 10 second paragraph (proposed wording)

The board of directors may resolve, ahead of a general meeting of the shareholders, that the shareholders shall be entitled to exercise their voting rights by post prior to the meeting. In addition, the board of directors may resolve that the general meeting can be held digitally.

Majority requirements

A resolution in accordance with item 15 requires support by shareholders holding not less than two-thirds of both the shares voted and of the shares represented at the general meeting.

Documentation

Copies of accounts, audit report, complete proposals, proxy forms, postal voting forms and other documents that shall be available in accordance with the Swedish Companies Act are available at the Company at ExpreS2ion Biotechnologies, c/o Mindpark, Rönnowsgatan 8c, 252 25 Helsingborg, Sweden, and at the Company's website www.expres2ionbio.com, at least three weeks in advance of the Annual General Meeting and will be sent to shareholders who request it and provide their e-mail or postal address.

This notice is a translation of a Swedish notice and in case of any deviations between the language versions, the Swedish version shall prevail.

Shareholders' right to request information

Shareholders are reminded of their right to request information from the board of directors and managing director in accordance with Chapter 7 Section 32 of the Swedish Companies Act.

Processing of personal data

For information on how personal data is processed in relation the meeting, see the Privacy notice available on Euroclear Sweden AB's website: https://www.euroclear.com/dam/ESw/Legal/Privacy-notice-bolagsstammor-engelska.pdf.
