Notice etc.
Shareholders who wish to participate at the extraordinary general meeting must:

Nominee-registered shares
Shareholders whose shares are registered in the name of a nominee through a bank or other trustee must, in order to exercise the right to vote and participate in the general meeting, register with the Company and temporarily re-register the shares in their own name (so called voting registration) with Euroclear Sweden so that the shareholder is included in the shareholders’ register kept by Euroclear Sweden on April 5, 2022. Voting registration requested by shareholders in such time that the registration has been completed by the nominee no later than Thursday April 7, 2022, will be taken into account in the preparation of the shareholders’ register. Shareholders are therefore advised to request such registration of the shares well in advance of this date.

Postal voting
The shareholders may exercise their voting rights at the general meeting only by postal voting in accordance with Section 22 of the Act (2022:121) on Temporary Exceptions to Facilitate the Execution of General Meetings in Companies and Associations. A special form shall be used for the postal voting, which is available on the Company’s website, www.egetis.com.

The completed and signed postal voting form must, in order to be taken into account, have been received by the Company no later than Tuesday April 12, 2022. Postal votes received later will not be taken into account.
If the shareholder is a legal entity or if the shareholder exercises its voting rights through a proxy, a registration certificate or equivalent document for the legal entity and, where applicable, a power of attorney must be submitted together with the postal voting form. Shareholders who are represented by a proxy must issue a dated and signed power of attorney for the proxy. The period of validity of the power of attorney may be specified for a maximum of five years from the date of issue. If the proxy has been issued by a legal person, a copy of a registration certificate or equivalent authorization document for the legal person shall be enclosed.

The Board of Directors proposes that attorney-at-law Gunnar Mattsson, or someone else appointed by the Board of Directors in the event Gunnar Mattsson is prevented, is elected as chairman of the general meeting.

The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to approve the Board of Directors’ resolution on March 21, 2022, on a new issue of shares, with preferential rights for the shareholders, to increase the Company’s share capital with no more than SEK 2 606 346.66 by an issue of no more than 49 520 568 shares in accordance with the following conditions:

  1. The right to subscribe for shares shall, with preferential rights for existing shareholders, be granted to those who, on the record date of the share issue, are registered as shareholders in the Company.

In addition, investors are offered the opportunity to subscribe for shares without the support of subscription rights.
  2. In the event that all shares are not subscribed for by way of subscription rights, the Board of Directors shall, within the maximum amount of the share issue, resolve on allotment of shares without subscription rights, whereby allotment shall be made as follows.

Secondarily, allotment shall be made to others who have signed up for subscription without subscription rights. In the event that they cannot receive full allotment, allotment shall be made pro rata in proportion to the number of shares subscribed for by each and, to the extent that this cannot be done, by the drawing of lots. In the third and final stage, any remaining shares shall be allotted to the parties who have guaranteed the share issue, in relation to the guarantee undertakings made, provided, however, that Fjärde AP-fonden shall have priority over other guarantors in the allocation.
  3. The record date for determining which shareholders are entitled to subscribe for new shares with preferential rights shall be April 28, 2022.
  4. Subscription of shares on the basis of preferential rights shall be made through cash payment during the period 3 – 17 May 2022. The Board of Directors shall have the right to extend the subscription and payment period.
