PROPOSED DECISION
Item 1 - Election of the Chairman of the meeting
The Board of Directors proposes that Göran Nordlund, Chairman of the Board, be elected Chairman of the Meeting.
Item 7 b - Resolution on allocation of the company's profit or loss according to the adopted balance sheet
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves that the funds at the disposal of the Annual General Meeting be carried forward and that no dividend be paid to the shareholders.
Item 8 - Determining the number of directors and auditors
The Board of Directors proposes that the Board of Directors shall consist of four (4) members without deputies.
The Board of Directors further proposes that an authorized accounting firm shall be appointed as auditor, without deputy auditors.
Item 9 - Determination of fees for the Board of Directors and the auditor
The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves that a board fee of SEK 57,300 (one price base amount 2024) shall be paid to the external board member Nina Modig for the period until the end of the next annual general meeting. Other board members who are also major shareholders in the Company shall not receive any board fees. Furthermore, the board of directors proposes that fees to the auditor shall be paid according to approved invoice.
Item 10 - Election of the board of directors, deputy directors and auditor
The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to re-elect the board members Göran Nordlund, Daniel Carlberg, Martin Larsson and Nina Modig and to re-elect the registered accounting firm Bright Norr AB. Bright Norr AB has announced that if the annual general meeting approves the proposal, the authorized auditor Oskar Hettinger will be the auditor in charge. All for the period until the end of the next Annual General Meeting.
Item 11 - Resolution on authorization for the Board of Directors to resolve on new issues of shares with or without deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to authorize the Board of Directors, for the period until the end of the next Annual General Meeting, on one or more occasions and with or without deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, to decide on a new issue of shares. The purpose of the authorization is to increase financial flexibility and the Board's scope of action.
The authorization may be used to issue a maximum of ten (10) percent of the total number of outstanding shares in the Company at the time of the issue decision.
The issue price shall be determined on market terms.
The reason for the deviation from shareholders' preferential rights is that newly issued shares or the amount raised in a new share issue can be used as payment for the acquisition of businesses, companies or shares in companies.
The issue may be made in cash and/or against payment in kind and/or through set-off.
The board of directors, or the person appointed by the board of directors, shall otherwise be entitled to make such amendments to the above resolution as may be necessary in connection with its registration and to take such other measures as are necessary to implement the resolution.
Item 12 - Resolution to establish a warrant program for senior executives and key employees.
The Board of Directors proposes that the meeting resolves to introduce an incentive program. The warrant program means that the company issues a maximum of 175,000 warrants free of charge to the wholly owned subsidiary Norditek Produktion AB, which entitles the holder to subscribe for a maximum of 175,000 shares in the company with the right and obligation for Norditek Produktion AB to handle the warrants in accordance with the warrant program.
Subscription of shares under the option program shall take place during the period from 1 February 2027 up to and including 28 February 2027. Upon subscription of shares, the share capital will increase by a maximum of SEK 17,500.
The subscription price for shares subscribed for by virtue of the warrants, as described above, shall be 150% of the average volume-weighted share price on January 1, 2024 and January 30, 2024.
Norditek will publish the subscription price before the first day of the exercise period.
Norditek Produktion AB shall offer senior executives and certain key employees to acquire warrants at market price no later than February 29, 2024, which will be determined by valuing the warrants in accordance with the Black & Scholes valuation model. In total, a maximum of 20 percent of the number of options may be allocated to each participant.
The subscription price shall be paid in cash no later than March 31, 2024.
As reasons for deviating from the shareholders' preferential rights, the Board of Directors invokes the following:
Option programs contribute to higher motivation and commitment among employees and strengthen the ties between the employees and the company. The option program will contribute to the possibilities to recruit and retain knowledgeable and experienced employees and is expected to increase the employees' interest in the business and the development of the company's results. Overall, it is the Board's assessment that the Option Program will benefit both the employees and the company's shareholders through an increased share value.
The board of directors further proposes that the meeting authorizes the board of directors, or the person appointed by the board of directors, to make minor changes to the above resolution that may be required for registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
