Item 10 – Resolution to implement a long term incentive program
The Board of Directors of the Company (together with subsidiaries the “Group”), proposes that the Extraordinary General Meeting resolves to implement a long term incentive program (“LTIP”) by an issue of warrants including approval of transfer of warrants on the terms and conditions set out below (“Long term incentive program 2025/2028”). The warrants shall entail the right to subscribe for new shares in the Company. The warrants also apply to the terms and conditions, including the subscription price and the period within which the warrants may be exercised, as set out in Appendix A.
Background
This proposal on implementation of a LTIP and the issue of warrants has been presented as the Board of Directors considers it important and in the interests of all shareholders to facilitate participation for employees, including consultants, regarding the Company's and the Group's development and ensure that these individuals share the goal of generating value-adding growth. It is also important to justify continued employment and assignments. The Board therefore proposes that the Extraordinary General Meeting decide on the issue of warrants as follows below.
Terms for the issue
- The Company shall issue without consideration (i.e., free of charge) not more than 2,000,000 warrants. Each warrant entitle the holder to subscribe for one (1) share in the Company, each with a quotient value of approximately SEK 0.04, and upon full exercise of the warrants the Company's share capital may thus increase by no more than SEK 80 000,028723 (provided that no re-calculation has been made at the time of exercise of the warrants which may affect the increase in share capital as a result of the proposed terms for the warrants).
- The warrants may, with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, only be subscribed for by the Company, after which the Company shall transfer the warrants to employees (including consultants) in the Group (the "Participants").
- The Company’s subscription of the warrants shall be made on a special subscription list within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting that resolves on the issue. The Board shall have the right to extend the subscription period.
- The warrants are issued without consideration to the Company. The transfer of the warrants to the Participants will be carried out at market value, as determined in accordance with the Black & Scholes valuation model.
- The warrants may be exercised for subscription of new shares during the period from and including 1 October 2028 until and including 31 December 2028. The vesting period is thus not shorter than three (3) years. The warrants may not be exercised for subscription of new shares during the so called “closed periods” according to the EUs Market Abuse Regulation, or otherwise in violation with applicable rules regarding insider information (including the Company’s own guidelines in this regard). Any warrants that have not been exercised for subscription of shares as of 31 December 2028 will expire.
- Each warrant shall entitle the warrant holder to subscribe for one new share in the Company at a subscription price per share amounting to 200 percent of the volume-weighted average price for the Company’s shares on Nasdaq First North Growth Market during the five trading days that occur most recently before the annual general meeting on 22 August 2025. The subscription price must not be less than the share’s quota value, and not less than the fair market value of the stock at the time warrants are first transferred to any of the Participants. Any amount that exceeds the quotient value shall be transferred to the nonrestricted share premium account.
- The new shares entitle the holder to a dividend as from the record date on the nearest record date occurring after subscription has been exercised.
- The warrants shall be transferred to the Participants in accordance with instructions issued by the Board of Directors in accordance with the guidelines stated below.
- For the warrants certain conditions shall apply, amongst other things customary re-calculation terms, as set out in the board’s complete proposal.
Guidelines for the Company’s transfer of warrants
The warrants shall be offered for the acquisition to the persons included in the table below with the stated maximum allocation:
Category | Maximum number of warrants per Participant |
CEO | 1,000,000 |
Senior executives and other key individuals (maximum 6 persons) | 400,000 |
Only those persons who are included in the said categories shall be offered the right to acquire warrants. The Board of Directors shall decide which persons that shall receive warrants within the framework of each category. In the event of re-calculation, the Participants in each category shall have the right to acquire the same number of warrants. Members of the Board of Directors in the Company are not allowed to participate.
Allocation of warrants to Participants outside Sweden shall - where applicable - be dependent on fiscal effects, that there are no legal obstacles and that the board considers that such allocation can be made with reasonable administrative and financial resources.
The Company may allow the Participant in the LTIP to exercise their warrants through a cashless exercise that the Company deems fitting, including but not limited to loan-financed exercise of the warrants or subscription of a lower number of shares without cash consideration.
Reasons for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights
The reason for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is to create involvement for the Participants in terms of the Company’s and the Group’s development and to ensure that these individuals share the goal of generating value-adding growth, and to motivate continued employment and assignments. The warrants are proposed to be issued to the Company for transfer to Participants in the LTIP.
Dilution, costs etc.
The Company has a total share capital of SEK 9,709,407.806 divided into 242,735,108 shares. Each share entitles to one vote in the Company.
The Annual General Meeting 2024 resolved to establish the warrant-based incentive program Warrant Program 2024/2027. The program allows for the transfer of up to 2,700,000 warrants to employees and consultants. In June 2024, 1,640,000 warrants were allocated and subscribed for at a price of SEK 0.07 per warrant. In January 2025, an additional 490,000 warrants were allocated and subscribed for at a price of SEK 0.0001 (0.01 öre) per warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one new share in the Company at a subscription price of SEK 11.97. Subscription for shares based on the warrants may take place during the period from 1 June 2027 to 30 June 2027. The subscription price per share corresponds to 400 percent of the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s shares according to the official price list of Nasdaq First North Growth Market during a period of ten trading days prior to the Board of Directors’ initial offer to acquire warrants under the Warrant Program 2024/2027, provided, however, that the subscription price may not be lower than the quota value of the share. The maximum dilution effect of the program is approximately 1.53 percent.
When fully exercised the warrants under this proposal will lead to 2,000,000 new shares being issued in the Company (with reservation for potential re-calculations in accordance with customary terms for the warrants), resulting in a dilution of approximately 0.82 per cent as far as the Company's share capital and voting rights/number of shares are concerned. The dilution effect has been calculated as the number of additional shares respectively votes at full exercise in relation to the sum of the current number of shares respectively votes, and the number of additional shares respectively votes at full exercise.
As the warrants are transferred to the Participants at market value, the Company assesses that no social security contributions will arise for the Company. The external costs associated with the incentive program are limited and primarily consist of expenses for an independent valuation of the warrants in accordance with the Black & Scholes model, advisory fees, as well as costs related to the registration and practical administration of the program. Ongoing administrative expenses and other related costs are considered to be marginal.
The LTIP is expected to have a limited effect on the Company’s key performance indicators.
Restrictions regarding disposal and exercise of the warrants
The Participants will not be able to exercise the warrants unless they have previously been offered to the Company and subsequently transferred to the Participants. Furthermore, the Participants will only be able to subscribe for shares with the support of the warrants after special agreed vesting periods. Such restrictions will be agreed upon, is separate warrant agreements, with the respective Participant in connection with their acquisition of warrants from the Company. According to the warrant agreements the total amount of warrants that are allotted to each Participant shall be vested in three equal parts as of 1 October from 2026 to 2028 (i.e. approximately 33 per cent of the total number of warrants will be vested each year) and conditional on continued employment/assignments in the Group, with reservation for the terms in the separate warrant agreement that shall be entered into between each Participant and the Company. For example a person that was employed or hired as consultant as of the previous 1 October that is still employed or hired as consultant as of 1 October 2026 shall be allowed to keep his/hers warrants that has been vested during 2025/2026 (i.e. approximately 33 per cent of his/hers maximum allotment) and correspondently a person that is still employed or hired as consultant as of 1 October 2027 will be allowed to keep his/hers vested warrants for 2025/2026 and 2026/2027 (i.e. approximately 66 per cent of his/hers maximum allotment), with reservation for the terms regarding pre-mature termination of service (so called good and bad leaver terms) and other customary terms for warrant agreements.
Preparation of the proposal
The proposed LTIP has been prepared by the Board of Directors in consultation with external advisors and after consultations with certain major shareholders. The final proposal has been submitted by the Board of Directors.
Miscellaneous

The Board of Directors, or a person appointed by the Board of Directors, shall have the right to make the minor adjustments required to register the resolution, and the Board of Directors shall have the right to make the minor adjustments required in the LTIP in order to be conformal with applicable foreign laws and regulations.
Majority requirements
