Section 14, decision on directed issue of warrants and approval of transfer of warrants (incentive program for senior executives and other co-workers)
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves on a directed issue of warrants and approves of the transfer warrants as follows.
A. Issue of warrants
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves on a directed issue of a maximum of 330,000 warrants, entailing an increase of the share capital - upon full exercise of the warrants - by a maximum of SEK 38,199.54. Each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one (1) class B share in the company. For the decision, the following conditions shall apply:
- The right to subscribe for the warrants shall, with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, accrue to the company's wholly owned subsidiary Finshyttan HydroPower AB (the "Subsidiary"). The Subsidiary shall transfer warrants to senior executives and other co-workers in accordance with section B below.
- Oversubscription cannot take place.
- The reason for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is to introduce an incentive program for senior executives and other co-workers.
- The warrants are issued free of charge to the Subsidiary.
- Subscription of the warrants shall take place no later than 10 May 2022. The board of directors has the right to extend the subscription period.
- Subscription of class B shares in the company through the exercise of the warrants shall take place during the period from and including 1 September 2025 up to and including 29 September 2025.
- The subscription price per class B share shall correspond to 200 percent of the volume-weighted average price according to Nasdaq First North Growth Market's official price list for the share during the period of 15 trading days immediately before (but excluding) the day of the allotment and transfer of the warrants from the Subsidiary to the Participants, however, not less than the quotient value of the share. The part of the subscription price that exceeds the quotient value of the share shall be added to the non-restricted share premium reserve.
- Class B shares acquired due to subscription by exercising the warrants entitle to a dividend for the first time on the record date for dividends that falls immediately after the shares have been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and entered in the company's share register with Euroclear Sweden AB.
- Warrants held by the Subsidiary, and which have not been transferred in accordance with section B below or which have been repurchased from participants may be cancelled by the company following a decision by the board of directors. Cancellations must be registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
- Other terms for the warrants will be available at the company from Thursday 24 March 2022 and will be sent by post to the shareholders who so request and state their postal address by phoning +46 73 906 58 70.
B. Approval of transfer of warrants
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting approves of the Subsidiary's transfer of warrants on the following terms.
- The following categories of senior executives and other co-workers/key employees who are employed or hired on a consultancy basis in the group (the "Participants" and each the "Participant") shall have the right to acquire warrants from the Subsidiary:
Category
Maximum number of warrants per person
Maximum number of warrants per category
CEO
50 000
50 000
Other senior executives in the company
30 000
180 000
Other co-workers (key employees)
10 000
100 000
The detailed distribution of warrants and who shall be offered to acquire these shall be decided by the company's board of directors. If the board deems it appropriate, any remaining warrants in a category may be distributed between the co-workers in the category according to announced interest. The right to acquire warrants shall only accrue to Participants who at the end of the application period have not resigned or been terminated from employment or consulting assignment.
- Application of acquisition of warrants, allotment of warrants and transfer of warrants from the Subsidiary to the Participants shall take place at the time the board decides, however no later than 30 September 2022. In case of unforeseen events, the board shall have the right to extend the time for application of acquisition, allotment and transfer after this date.
- The warrants shall be transferred on market conditions at a price determined on the basis of an estimated market value of the warrants using the Black & Scholes valuation model.
- The warrants shall otherwise be covered by market conditions, including a right to repurchase the warrants if the Participant's employment or consulting assignment in the group terminates.
- It shall also be possible to offer warrants to future new co-workers during the autumn 2022 after allotment and transfer according to section B (2) above. If so, transfers shall be made at the current market value. In case of such transfers the Participants vesting period will be less than three years. However, the board of directors believes it is motivated to be able to offer employees who begin their employment with the company during the autumn of 2022 to participate in the incentive program in order to be able to recruit competent and committed staff.
C. Further information about the warrant program
- The reasons for the proposal, etc.
The motives for the proposal are that senior executives and other co-workers through their own investment shall work for and take part in a positive value development of the company and its shares and that the company shall be able to retain and recruit competent and committed staff. The program will promote long-term commitment among the co-workers in order to create sustainable value for the company and shareholders. No predetermined and measurable criteria for allocation in the program have been set since participation in the program takes place through own investment. - Dilution
Upon full exercise of all warrants, 330,000 new class B shares will be issued which will result in a dilution of approximately 0.4 percent of the total number of shares and votes in the company at the time of the board's proposal. - Impact on key figures and costs for the company, etc.
The company's result per share will not be affected by the issue as the present value of the warrants' exercise price exceeds the current market value of the company's class B share at the time of the issue. The company's future earnings per share may be affected by the potential dilution effect of the warrants if the company reports both a positive result and an exercise price below the market value. The participants will acquire the warrants at market value, which means that no benefit value arises and thus no social fees for the company. The warrant program will incur certain limited costs in the form of external consultant fees and administration costs. - Calculation of the market value of the warrants
Optionspartner AB will make a calculation of the market value of the warrants at the time the warrants are to be acquired by the Participants. The market value will be calculated according to Black & Scholes' valuation model, which takes into account the current value of the underlying share, the exercise price, the term of the warrant, risk-free interest rate and the share's volatility. According to a preliminary calculation of the warrants' market value based on conditions as of 8 March 2022 and an estimated share value of SEK 17.93, the market value to be paid by the Participant amounts to SEK 3.20 per warrant. Given that the market value is not to be determined until the time the warrants are to be acquired by the Participants, the market value per warrant may differ from the amount now stated. - Preparation of the matter
The principles for the program have been developed by the company's board of directors. The proposal has been prepared with the support of external advisors and after consultation with certain major shareholders. The board has subsequently decided to present this proposal to the annual general meeting. Apart from co-workers who prepared the matter in accordance with instructions from the board, no co-worker who may be covered by the program participated in the drafting of the terms and conditions. - Other share-based incentive programs
The company has the following four outstanding share-based incentive programs.
Program 2019/2022 for senior executives and other co-workers
The incentive program covers 658,000 warrants which have been acquired by senior executives and other co-workers. Following a recalculation made in accordance with the terms of the warrants due to the rights issue the company carried out at the end of 2021, each warrant entitles subscription of 1.05 class B shares at a subscription price of SEK 13.74 per share during the period from and including 20 June 2022 up to and including 18 July 2022.
Program 2020/2023 for senior executives and other co-workers
The incentive program covers 223,200 warrants which have been acquired by senior executives and other co-workers. Following a recalculation made in accordance with the terms of the warrants due to the rights issue the company carried out at the end of 2021, each warrant entitles subscription of 1.05 class B shares at a subscription price of SEK 35.32 per share during the period from and including 1 June 2023 up to and including 30 June 2023.
Program 2020/2024 for board members
The incentive program covers 375,000 warrants which have been acquired by board members. Following a recalculation made in accordance with the terms of the warrants due to the rights issue the company carried out at the end of 2021, each warrant entitles subscription of 1.05 class B shares at a subscription price of SEK 35.32 per share during the period from and including 1 June 2024 up to and including 30 June 2024.
Program 2021/2024 for senior executives and other co-workers
The incentive program covers 72,550 warrants which have been acquired by senior executives and other co-workers. Following a recalculation made in accordance with the terms of the warrants due to the rights issue the company carried out at the end of 2021, each warrant entitles subscription of 1.05 class B shares at a subscription price of SEK 82.82 per share during the period from and including 3 June 2024 up to and including 2 July 2024.
Full subscription of shares by exercising the warrants that have been acquired by senior executives and other co-workers as well as board members in accordance with the above entails a dilution of approximately 1.8 percent of the total number of shares and votes in the company at the time of the board's proposal.
D. Authorizations and majority requirements
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting instructs the board of directors to execute the resolution in accordance with section A above and ensure that the board of directors of the Subsidiary implements the transfer of warrants in accordance with section B above.
Furthermore, the board proposes that the board, or the person appointed by the board, shall have the right to make minor changes to the annual general meeting's decision which may be required in connection with registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or for other administrative reasons.
The resolution of the general meeting in accordance with this section 14 requires, for its validity, that it is supported by shareholders representing at least nine tenths of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the general meeting.

- Subscription of the warrants shall take place no later than 10 May 2022. The board of directors may, in consultation with Östersjöstiftelsen, extend the subscription period.
- Subscription of class B shares in the company through the exercise of the warrants shall take place during the period from and including 1 September 2026 up to and including 29 September 2026.
- The subscription price per class B share shall correspond to 200 percent of the volume-weighted average price according to Nasdaq First North Growth Market's official price list for the share during the period of 15 trading days immediately before (but excluding) the day of allotment and transfer of the warrants from the Subsidiary to the Participants, however, not less than the quotient value of the share. The part of the subscription price that exceeds the quotient value of the share shall be added to the non-restricted share premium reserve.
- Class B shares acquired due to subscription by exercising the warrants entitle to a dividend for the first time on the record date for dividends that falls immediately after the shares have been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and entered in the company's share register with Euroclear Sweden AB.
- Warrants held by the Subsidiary, and which have not been transferred in accordance with section B below or which have been repurchased from a board member may be cancelled by the company following a decision by the board of directors.

Östersjöstiftelsen proposes that the general meeting approves of the Subsidiary's transfer of warrants on the following terms.
- The company's board members shall be entitled to acquire the warrants from the Subsidiary, whereby these shall have the right to acquire a maximum of 25,000 warrants each. Any remaining warrants in a category may, in consultation with Östersjöstiftelsen, be distributed between the other board members according to announced interest. The right to acquire warrants shall, however, only accrue to board members who at the end of the application period have not resigned or been dismissed from the board of directors.
- Application of acquisition of warrants, allotment of warrants and transfer of warrants from the Subsidiary to the board member shall take place at a time the board, in consultation with Östersjöstiftelsen, decides, however no later than 30 September 2022. In case of unforeseen events, the board shall have the right to, in consultation with Östersjöstiftelsen, extend the time for application of acquisition, allotment and transfer after this date.

- The warrants shall otherwise be covered by market conditions, including a right to repurchase the warrants if the board member has resigned or been dismissed from the board assignment.
C. Further information about the warrant program
- The reasons for the proposal, etc.
The motives for the proposal are that board members through their own investment shall work for and take part in a positive value development of the company and its shares and that the company shall be able to retain and recruit competent and committed staff. Östersjöstiftelsen believes that the program will increase the board members' involvement in the company's operations, promote long-term commitment among the board members and benefit both the company and its shareholders. No predetermined and measurable criteria for allocation in the program have been set since participation in the program takes place through own investment. - Dilution
Upon full exercise of all warrants, 150,000 new class B shares will be issued which will result in a dilution of approximately 0.2 percent of the total number of shares and votes in the company at the time of Östersjöstiftelsen's proposal. - Impact on key figures and costs for the company, etc.
The company's result per share will not be affected by the issue as the present value of the warrants' exercise price exceeds the current market value of the company's class B share at the time of the issue. The company's future earnings per share may be affected by the potential dilution effect of the warrants if the company reports both a positive result and an exercise price below the market value. The board members will acquire the warrants at market value, which means that no benefit value arises and thus no social fees for the company. The warrant program will incur certain limited costs in the form of external consultant fees and administration costs. - Calculation of the market value of the warrants

The market value will be calculated according to Black & Scholes' valuation model, which takes into account the current value of the underlying share, the exercise price, the term of the warrant, risk-free interest rate and the share's volatility. According to a preliminary calculation of the warrants' market value based on conditions as of 8 March 2022 and an estimated share value of SEK 17.93, the market value to be paid by the board member amounts to SEK 3.68 per warrant. Given that the market value is not to be determined until the time the warrants are to be acquired by the Participants, the market value per warrant may differ from the amount now stated. - Preparation of the matter
The principles for the program have been developed by Östersjöstiftelsen with the support of external advisors. No board member who may be covered by the program participated in the drafting of the terms and conditions. - Other share-based incentive programs

However, such decisions on issues may lead to an increase in the company's share capital by a maximum of 20 percent, calculated on the size of the share capital the first time the authorization is used. Issues may be made against cash payment, issue in kind and/or set-off, or otherwise be combined with conditions. Issues will be made in order to increase production capacity and build the organization to enable future growth.

Section 17, decision to amend the articles of association

At the request of its holders, shares in class A shall be converted to shares in class B. Requests for conversion, which shall be in writing and state the number of shares to be converted, shall be submitted to the company. The company shall notify the Swedish Companies Registration Office of the conversion without delay. The conversion is complete when it has been registered and a note has been made in the CSD register.
If the company resolves to issue new class A and class B shares in a cash issue or offset issue, holders of class A and class B shares shall have a preferential right to subscribe for new shares in the same class, in proportion to the number of shares previously held by the shareholder (primary preferential right). Shares that are not subscribed for pursuant to a primary preferential right shall be offered to all shareholders (subsidiary preferential right). If the shares offered in this manner are insufficient for the subscriptions made based on subsidiary preferential rights, the shares shall be distributed among the subscribers in proportion to the number of shares previously held by them and insofar as this cannot be done, by the drawing of lots.
If the company resolves to issue either class A shares or class B shares in a cash issue or offset issue, all shareholders, regardless of whether their shares belong to class A or class B, shall have a preferential right to subscribe for new shares in proportion to the number of shares previously held by them.
If the company decides to issue warrants or convertibles by way of a cash issue or offset issue, the shareholders shall have a preferential right to subscribe for warrants as if the issue involved the shares that may be subscribed for according to the warrant, or a preferential right to subscribe for convertibles as if the issue involved the shares with which the convertibles may be replaced.
The statements above shall not limit the ability to resolve on a cash issue or offset issue that entails a deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights.
If the share capital is increased by way of a bonus issue, new shares in each class shall be issued in proportion to the number of shares of the same class already in issue. If this occurs, old shares in a certain share class shall confer a right to new shares in the same share class. The above statement shall not limit the ability to issue a new class of shares in a bonus issue, provided the requisite amendments are first made to the Articles of Association.
