Stockholm, Sweden - October 26, 2021 - Sinch AB (publ) ("Sinch" or the "Company") held an extraordinary general meeting on Tuesday 26 October 2021.
Authorization for the board of directors to resolve on new issues of shares with payment in kind
The meeting resolved, in accordance with the board of directors' proposal, to authorize the board of directors to, on one or several occasions, until the next annual general meeting, resolve on new issues of up to 51,000,000 shares with payment in kind. The right to subscribe to the new shares shall accrue to Deliver Parent L.P. and the other direct and indirect shareholders of Deliver Holdings LLC (which owns the PathWire group) and payment shall be made through the contribution of a receivable of USD 1 billion.
Authorization for the board of directors to resolve on new issues of shares
The meeting resolved, in accordance with the board of directors' proposal, to authorize the board of directors, on one or several occasions, until the next annual general meeting, resolve on new issues of shares to be paid in cash, in kind or by way of set-off or otherwise on terms and conditions and that such new issue can be performed with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights. The issues are to be performed on market conditions, taking into account any discount on market terms. The reason for the authorization and the reason for the possible deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is to enable capital raisings for the acquisition of companies, or parts of companies, and for the operations of the company. The board of directors is authorized to resolve on share issues causing an increase of the company's share capital of at most 10 percent of the company's registered share capital at the time the board of directors first utilizes the authorization.
Resolution regarding incentive program II 2021
The meeting resolved, in accordance with the board of directors' proposal, to adopt an additional long term incentive program for senior executives and key employees within the Sinch group ("LTI II 2021").
LTI II 2021 comprises one series of employee stock options (with warrants as a hedging arrangement). Upon exercise of all warrants and employee stock options issued within the frame of LTI II 2021, up to 3,210,000 shares (with reservation for any re-calculation) may be issued, equivalent to a maximum dilution of approximately 0.43 per cent of the shares and votes of the company. Upon full exercise of the warrants, the company's share capital will increase with SEK 32,100. The calculations above have been based on the number of shares and votes in the company as of the date of this press release.
