New share issue

The AGM 2010 authorized the board, until the next AGM, to decide on the new issue of ordinary shares in the company.

On full utilization of the authorization to issue new shares, the total number of shares and votes in the company can increase by 1,811,253, representing dilution of around 10% of current shares and votes, and the same dilution effect on the key indicators reported by the company regarding the Semcon share. The dilution effect is calculated as follows: 1,811,253 new shares divided by current 18,112,534 shares.

The reason for the proposal, and the reason for deviating from preferential rights for existing shareholders, is that the Board wishes to create cost-efficient and flexible opportunities for making payments for acquisitions of companies or businesses or parts thereof. Against this background, a decision in accordance with the proposal is judged to be beneficial for shareholders.
