Authorisation to the board of directors to issue new shares, warrants and/or convertible instruments

The annual general meeting resolved to authorise the board for the period until the next annual general meeting, at one or several occasions, with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, against payment in cash or through set-off or in kind, or otherwise with conditions, to resolve on an issue of new shares, convertibles or warrants. The total number of issued shares, or the number of shares that may be issued upon conversion of convertibles or through exercise of warrants, may not exceed 20 per cent of the registered number of shares in the Company at the time of the general meeting’s resolution. The value transferred to the Company through issues by virtue of the authorisation, shall be made on market terms and may include a market-based issue discount. The resolution was made in accordance with the board of director’s proposal.

Incentive program to management and key personnel in the Company

The annual general meeting resolved to adopt an incentive program to management and key personnel in the Company through i) a directed issue of a maximum of 10,000,000 warrants to the wholly owned subsidiary Copperstone Incentive AB (the “Subsidiary”), and ii) approval of transfer of warrants from the Subsidiary to selected management and key personnel in the Company. The resolution was made in accordance with the board of directors’ proposal.

The reason for that the issue is proposed to deviate from the shareholders’ preferential rights is therefor to create incentives for management and key personnel to at all times work for the Company’s positive development since these possess management roles or key roles in the Company and thereby constitutes an important part of the Company’s continued operations.

Each warrant shall entitle to subscribe for one (1) share in the Company to a subscription price per share corresponding to the volume-weighted average price for the share on Nasdaq First North Growth Market’s official stock price list during a period of ten (10) trading day ending the day before the Company’s general meeting on 19 May 2021, multiplicated with 1.5. Subscription of shares by exercising the warrants shall, in accordance with the terms and conditions for the warrants, be possible to carry out up until and including 20 December 2024. The warrants are issued without consideration.

The annual general meeting further resolved to approve that the Subsidiary transfer at most 10,000,000 warrants to management or key personnel (or by them wholly owned companies) in the Company.

The warrants shall be transferred on market-based terms to a price determined on the basis of the calculated market value for the warrants at the time for transfer, by an application of Black & Scholes valuation model (options premium). The calculation of the option premium to management shall be made or controlled by an independent valuation expert, or shall be made on the basis of the expert’s valuation.

Based on the current number of shares in the Company, the dilution as a consequence of the resolved incentive program, with the assumption that all warrants will be exercised for subscription of shares, will not exceed 1 per cent of the shares and votes in the Company (not included the dilution which may arise as a result of the resolved incentive program for the board of directors and the Company’s current incentive programs).

Incentive program to members of the board of directors in the Company

The annual general meeting resolved to adopt an incentive program to members of the board of directors in the Company through i) a directed issue of a maximum of 15,000,000 warrants to the wholly owned subsidiary Copperstone Incentive AB (the “Subsidiary”), and ii) approval of transfer of warrants from the Subsidiary to members of the board of directors in the Company. The resolution was made in accordance with the board of directors’ proposal.

The reason for that the issue is proposed to deviate from the shareholders’ preferential rights is therefor to create incentives for members of the board of directors to at all times work for the Company’s positive development since these possess key roles in the Company and thereby constitutes an important part of the Company’s continued operations.

Each warrant shall entitle to subscribe for one (1) share in the Company to a subscription price per share corresponding to the volume-weighted average price for the share on Nasdaq First North Growth Market’s official stock price list during a period of ten (10) trading day ending the day before the Company’s general meeting on 19 May 2021, multiplicated with 1.5. Subscription of shares by exercising the warrants shall, in accordance with the terms and conditions for the warrants, be possible to carry out up until and including 20 December 2024. The warrants are issued without consideration.

The annual general meeting further resolved to approve that the Subsidiary shall transfer at most 15,000,000 warrants to members of the board of directors (or by them wholly owned companies) in the Company.

The warrants shall be transferred on market-based terms to a price determined on the basis of the calculated market value for the warrants at the time for transfer, by an application of Black & Scholes valuation model (options premium). The calculation of the option premium to members of the board of directors shall be made or controlled by an independent valuation expert or shall be made on the basis of the expert’s valuation.

Based on the current number of shares in the Company, the dilution as a consequence of the resolved incentive program, with the assumption that all warrants will be exercised for subscription of shares, will not exceed 1.5 per cent of the shares and votes in the Company (not included the dilution which may arise as a result of the resolved incentive program for management and key personnel and the Company’s current incentive programs).
