The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting approves the Board of Directors' resolution on 23 April, 2026 on a new issue of shares in the Company on the following principal terms and conditions:

1. The Board of Directors, or whoever the Board of Directors may appoint among its members, is authorized to resolve, on 22 May, 2026 at the latest, on the maximum amount by which the share capital shall be increased, the maximum number of new series A and series B shares to be issued, the number of existing series A and series B shares that shall entitle to subscription for a certain number of new shares and the subscription price per share.
2. The Company's shareholders shall have preferential right to subscribe for the new shares in proportion to the shares previously owned.
3. In case the subscription price for the new shares exceeds the quota value of the previous shares, the excess amount shall be added to the unrestricted share premium reserve.
4. Holder of series A and series B shares shall have priority right to subscribe for new shares of the same series in proportion to their existing shareholding (primary preferential right). Shares not subscribed for by primary preferential right shall be offered for subscription to all shareholders (subsidiary preferential right). If the number of shares available for subscription is insufficient for the subscription made under subsidiary preferential right, the shares shall be distributed among the subscribers in proportion to their previous shareholdings (irrespective of share class), and, to the extent that this is not possible, by the drawing of lots. In the event of a transfer of the subscription right (the primary preferential right), the subsidiary preferential right is also transferred to the new holder of the subscription right. If not all the shares are subscribed for with primary or subsidiary preferential right, the Board of Directors shall, up to the maximum amount of the share issue, resolve on allotment of the remaining shares, whereby such shares firstly shall be allotted to those who have applied for subscription without primary or subsidiary preferential right (the general public in Sweden and 'qualified investors'), pro rata in relation to their applied interest; secondly, to Investor AB ('Investor'), Morgan Stanley Europe SE and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) in accordance with their respective guarantee undertakings to the Company, whereby allotment shall be made pro rata in accordance with their respective guarantee undertakings, and to the extent that is not possible, by drawing of lots.

Payment for new shares subscribed for without subscription rights shall be made in cash no later than on the third (3) banking day from dispatch of the contract note setting forth the allotment of shares. The Board of Directors shall be entitled to extend the period for subscription and payment.
8. The new shares shall entitle to dividend as from the first record date for dividend to occur after the registration of the share issue with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and entered into the share register maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB.
9. Shares of series A are subject to a provision pursuant to Chapter 4, Section 6 of the Companies Act (conversion clause).
10. The resolution on the share issue requires an amendment to the Company's Articles of Association.

The Board of Directors, or whomever the Board of Directors may appoint, shall be authorized to make such minor adjustments of the above resolution as may prove necessary in connection with the registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or Euroclear Sweden AB.

Certain majority requirements and conditions

The resolutions under items 6 a) and 6 b) are conditional upon each other, and the Board of Directors proposes that the Extraordinary General Meeting resolves to adopt item 6 as one resolution. The resolution requires support by shareholders representing at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Investor, holding shares representing just over 30 percent of the voting rights and just over 17 percent of the total number of shares in the Company, has undertaken to subscribe for its pro rata share in the rights issue. Investor has also issued a guarantee undertaking, which may result in Investor subscribing for more shares than its pro rata share. The Swedish Securities Council (Sw. Aktiemarknadsnämnden) has granted Investor an exemption from the mandatory takeover bid requirement that may otherwise arise if Investor subscribes for its pro rata share in the rights issue. The Swedish Securities Council has also granted Investor an exemption from the mandatory takeover bid requirement that may arise if Investor fulfils its guarantee undertaking to subscribe for shares in the issue in excess of its pro rata share, subject to the shareholders being informed prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting of the maximum capital and voting rights that Investor may reach upon utilization of its underwriting undertaking, and that the Extraordinary General Meeting's resolution to approve the rights issue is supported by shareholders representing at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the Extraordinary General Meeting, whereby shares held and represented by Investor must be disregarded. The Company will provide information on the maximum proportion of votes and shares that Investor may reach by fulfilling its guarantee undertaking in connection with the Board's resolution on the final terms and conditions for the rights issue.
