Decision to amend the Articles of Association (item 14)
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to amend the Articles of Association.

Proposed wording

§ 10 The board of directors may collect proxies in accordance with the procedure laid down in Chapter 7 Section 4 second paragraph of the Swedish Companies Act (2005:551).

The Board of Directors may decide prior to the General Meeting that shareholders shall be able to exercise their voting rights by mail before the General Meeting.

As it is proposed to insert a new section to the Articles of Association, it is proposed to renumber the sections 10-14.

The Board of Directors' proposal for resolution on authorization to issue new shares (item 15)
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to authorize the Board of Directors to, on one or more occasions, no later than the time of the next Annual General Meeting, with or without deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, issue new shares against payment in cash, with provisions of payment in kind or set-off of claims or other conditions. Such issues may not result in the company's registered share capital being increased by more than a total of 10 percent at the time the Board of Directors first utilizes the authorization.

The purpose of the authorization and the reasons for the deviation from the shareholder's preferential right is to enable the raising of capital for expansion, company acquisitions and for the company's operations. The issue price shall be determined taking into account prevailing market conditions, taking into account any discount on market terms. The Board of Directors, or a person appointed by the Board, is authorized to make such minor adjustments to the resolution as may be required in connection with registration of the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
