Decision on new performance targets in incentive program (LTI 2020) (item 12)
The Board proposes that the general meeting resolves to replace parts of the performance-based incentive program resolved by the annual general meeting on 26 May 2020, "LTI 2020", regarding three employees and contractors of the company, the "Participants", with respect to certain qualifying terms and conditions as set out below.
After the qualifying period of three years, the Participants will, free of charge, receive allotment of warrants in the company, provided that certain qualifying terms and conditions are met, "Performance Share Rights". The Participants will earn the right to exercise 25 percent of the Performance Share Rights allotted to the Participants for the fulfilment of each of four established performance targets based on the company achieving certain milestones, the "Performance Targets".
The Performance Targets established relating to PXL01 will be replaced with new Performance Targets. The new Performance Targets relating to PXL01 are attributable to the company's recruitment of patients to a clinical trial and the completion of the clinical trial.
Besides the proposed amendments as set out above, it is proposed that LTI 2020 and thereto adhering delivery and hedging measures shall continue to apply unaffected.
The Board's proposal for a resolution
With reference to the above mentioned, the Board proposes that the general meeting resolves on new Performance Targets relating to PXL01 in LTI 2020.
Majority requirement
For a decision in accordance with the Board's proposal on new Performance Targets to be valid, it must be supported by shareholders holding at least nine-tenths of the votes cast as well as of the shares represented at the general meeting.
Decision on authorisation to issue new shares, convertible instruments, and warrants (item 13)
The Board proposes that the general meeting authorises the Board to, for the period to the next AGM and on one or several occasions, issue shares, convertibles and warrants as follows.
The Board will be authorised to decide on issues with or without pre-emption rights for the shareholders and/or with provisions of payment in kind, right of set-off and/or other conditions.
The basis for the determination of the subscription price when disapplying from the shareholders' pre-emption rights will be the share's, the convertible's or the warrant's market value at the time of the respective issue, taking into account rebates in accordance with the market conditions, when applicable.
The number of shares that the Board will be entitled to issue, the number of shares that convertibles may entitle to and the number of shares that may be subscribed for on account of warrants, will totally amount to no more than 12,142,787 new shares, corresponding to a dilution of approximately 20 per cent.
The reason behind the proposal and the possibility of disapplication from the shareholders' pre-emption rights, is to allow flexibility in acquisitions or capital raisings.
The Board, or its appointee, is authorised to make any minor adjustments to this decision deemed necessary to register the decision with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or due to other formal requirements.
For a decision in accordance with the Board's proposal to be valid, it must be supported by shareholders holding at least two-thirds of the votes cast as well as of the shares represented at the general meeting.
