The reason for why a deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights should be possible is to enable the company to source working capital, to be able to execute acquisitions of companies or operating assets as well as to enable new issues to industrial partners within the framework of partnerships and alliances. The total number of shares that may be issued shall not exceed 17,847,000 shares, which corresponds to a dilution of approximately 20 percent calculated on the current number of shares. In case the authorization is used for an issue with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, the issue shall be made on market terms.
