23Styrelsens Förslag/The Board's proposal for
resolutions
Punkt 7/Item 7 Styrelsen föreslår att
bolagsstämman ger styrelsen ett bemyndigande att
besluta om nyemission av aktier, konvertibla
skuldebrev, skuldebrev såväl utan som i förening
med optionsrätt till nyteckning av aktier samt
optioner, sammanlagt högst upp till det antal
aktier som ryms inom det tillåtna aktiekapitalet.
Styrelsens beslut om emission skall kunna ske med
avvikelse från aktieägarnas företrädesrätt.
Bolagsstämmans bemyndigande skall även omfatta
rätt för styrelsen att besluta om apportemission
eller att aktie eller annat skall tecknas med
kvittningsrätt. Syftet med bemyndigandet är att
öka bolagets finansiella flexibilitet, att ge
styrelsen möjlighet att utfärda optioner till
nyckelpersoner innebärande rätt till framtida
teckning av aktier på förmånliga villkor samt att
de emitterade aktierna skall kunna utgöra
förvärvsvaluta i samband med förvärv som bolaget
kan komma att genomföra. Utgångspunkten för
emissionskursens fastställande även som framtida
teckningskurs skall vara aktiens marknadsvärde
vid emissionstillfället eller i förkommande fall
utgivandet av optionen. The Board of Directors
propose that the General Meeting authorises the
Board to resolve to issue new shares, options,
convertible bonds or bonds with or without an
option to subscribe for new shares, the maximum
of which is the amount of shares allowed within
the maximum authorised share capital. The Board
of Directors' resolution of a share issue should
be permitted to be made with deviation from
existing shareholders' pre-emption rights. The
meeting's authorisation shall also include a
right for the Board of Directors to resolve on a
non-cash issue or that shares shall be subscribed
for with a right to offset debt. The purpose of
the authorisation is to increase the financial
flexibility of the company, to allow the board to
grant stock options with a right to future
exercise on favorable terms to key members of the
staff as well as to function as consideration in
connection with possible acquisitions. The
subscription price shall be determined on the
basis of the fair market value of the share at
the occasion of each share issue or option grant
as the case may be.
