The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to approve the board of directors' remuneration report for the financial year 2024.

Item 14: Resolution on authorization for the board of directors regarding issues
The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to authorize the board of directors, at one or several occasions, during the time up until the next annual general meeting, with or without deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, and with or without provisions regarding payment in kind or through set-off or other provisions, to resolve to issue new ordinary shares, convertibles and/or warrants. The reason for that deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights shall be permitted is to enable the company to raise working capital, to execute acquisitions of companies or operating assets as well as to enable issues to industrial partners within the framework of partnerships and alliances. The total number of ordinary shares that that may be issued pursuant to the authorization (alternatively be issued through conversion of convertibles and/or exercise of warrants) shall be limited to a number that leads to a maximum dilution of 20 per cent (calculated after full utilization of the now proposed authorization) of the total number of ordinary shares outstanding in the company at the time of the first issue resolution pursuant to the authorization. To the extent an issue is made with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, the issue should be made on market terms.

The CEO shall be authorized to make minor formal adjustments of the resolution which may be required for registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Sw. Bolagsverket).

Item 15: Resolution on implementation of a long-term incentive program by way of (A) implementation of a performance-based share saving program; (B) authorization on directed issues of series C shares; (C) authorization for repurchase of series C shares; and (D) resolution on transfer of own ordinary shares
The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to implement a long-term incentive program in the form of a performance-based share saving program (the "LTI 2025") for employees in accordance with A below. The resolution is conditional upon that the annual general meeting also resolves on hedging measures in accordance with B - D below.

A. Implementation of a performance-based share saving program
Background
The overall purpose with LTI 2025 is to align the interests of the employees with those of the shareholders and thus ensure a maximum long-term value adding commitment. LTI 2025 is also considered to create a long-term focus on increase in earnings and growth among the participants. LTI 2025 is further considered to facilitate for the company to recruit and retain employees.

At previous annual general meetings, it has been resolved to implement corresponding incentive programs for employees in the company, and currently LTI 2022, LTI 2023 and LTI 2024 are outstanding.

Terms and conditions for LTI 2025
1. LTI 2025 shall comprise senior executives and other employees divided into six categories.
2. LTI 2025 means that the participants will invest in or allocate already owned ordinary shares in the company ("Saving Shares"). Following a predefined time period, the participants will, free of charge, have the right to receive additional shares in the company ("Matching Shares"). In addition, conditional upon fulfilment of a goal related to the development of the share price, the participants will further, free of charge, have the right to receive additional shares in the company ("Performance Shares"). The conditions for receipt of Matching Shares and Performance Shares are set out below.
3. The maximum number of Saving Shares that each participant shall be entitled to invest in or allocate shall amount to the following:

Position

Maximum number of Saving Shares

CEO

189,000

Deputy CEO

131,400

Other C-level senior executives (currently 1 person)

100,000

Vice Presidents (currently up to 3 persons)

60,000

Directors (currently up to 2 persons)

40,000

Other employees (currently up to 3persons)

12,000

4. The board of directors shall, within the limits stated above, resolve on the maximum number of Saving Shares that each individual participant may acquire/allocate.
5. The investment in Saving Shares shall be made through acquisition of ordinary shares on the stock market or by allocating ordinary shares held by the participant and which have not been used as saving shares in an already existing incentive program (except for previous share saving programs which have expired). Investment or allocation shall have taken place at the latest on 30 September 2025 at the latest (the "Investment Period"). The board of directors shall be entitled to prolong the Investment Period in case participants have been unable to acquire shares due to applicable insider regulations.
6. For each Saving Share, the participant shall be entitled to receive 1 Matching Share. In addition, the participant shall have the possibility to receive up to 5 Performance Shares for each Saving Share.
7. The total number of Matching Shares will not exceed 868,400 and the total number of Performance Shares will not exceed 4,342,000, meaning that the total number of shares that can be issued to the participants in connection with LTI 2025 will not exceed 5,210,400. The number of shares that can be issued in connection with LTI 2025 might be recalculated in accordance with what is set out in Section 11 below. The total number of Matching Shares and Performance Shares permitted in LTI 2025 exceeds the number of Matching Shares and Performance Shares that can be issued in relation to the participants currently employed by the company. The background to this is to enable the inclusion of additional employees hired prior to 30 September 2025. Upon the inclusion of such potential additional participants, the maximum number of Saving Shares that each participant can acquire shall be established in accordance with the guidelines in Section 3 above.
8. Receipt of both Matching Shares and Performance Shares is conditional upon the fulfilment of the following conditions:
(a) hat the participant has retained all Saving Shares during the period from the expiration of the Investment Period to 30 September 2028 (the "Saving Period"); and
(b) that the participant has continued to be employed by the company (or another company in its group) throughout the Saving Period.
As regards the employment condition as per (b) above, the board of directors shall in certain cases be entitled to resolve on proportionate allocation in case the employment is terminated prior to the expiration of the Saving Period as set out in Section 14 below.
9. Receipt of Performance Shares is further, in addition to the conditions following from Section 8 above, conditional upon that the requirement related to the development of the company's share price from the date of the annual general meeting on 7 May 2025 up to and including 30 September 2028 (the "Performance Target") is fulfilled. The Performance Target will be measured based on the volume weighted average share price 30 trading days immediately following the annual general meeting on 7 May 2025 and 30 trading days immediately preceding 30 September 2028. An increase in the share price with less than 20 per cent does not entitle to any vesting of any of the Performance Shares, an increase in the share price with 20 per cent entitles to vesting of 1 Performance Share per Saving Share and an increase in the share price with 80 per cent or more entitles to vesting of all the 5 Performance Shares per Saving Share. In the event of an increase in the share price of between 20 and 80 per cent, vesting of the Performance Shares will occur linearly between 1 and 5.
10. Before the number of Performance Shares to be allocated is finally determined, the board of directors shall evaluate if allocation pursuant to the principles set out above is reasonable, having regard to the company's results and financial standing, to conditions on the stock market and to other circumstances in general. If the board of directors finds that it is not reasonable, then the board of directors may decrease the number of Performance Shares to be allocated to the lower number of shares that the board of directors finds reasonable.
11. The number of Matching Shares and Performance Shares that may be allotted by virtue of Saving Shares as well as the Performance Target shall be subject to recalculation in consequence of a bonus issue, split or reverse split, rights issue, and/or other similar company actions.
12. Allotment of Matching Shares and Performance Shares shall take place within 30 days from the publication of the financial report for the period July - September 2028.
13. Participation in LTI 2025 is conditional upon that the participation is legally possible and that the participation in the company's sole opinion can be made with reasonable administrative costs for the company.
14. LTI 2025 shall be governed by separate agreements with the respective participant. The board of directors shall be responsible for the preparation and management of LTI 2025 within the above mentioned principal terms and guidelines. In connection herewith, the board of directors shall be entitled to resolve on diverging terms for the allocation of Matching Shares and Performance Shares in connection with cessation of employment during the Saving Period due to death, early retirement or similar occasions or due to termination by the company that is not related to misconduct by the participants. In these cases the board of directors may resolve that the participant will be entitled to receive a proportionate part of the Matching Shares and the Performance Shares. Furthermore, in the event of a public take-over offer, a sale of the company's business, liquidation, merger or any other such transaction affecting the company, the board of directors shall, at its sole discretion, be entitled to resolve that the Matching Shares and Performance Shares (partially or in full) shall vest and be allotted on completion of such transaction. The board of directors will make this resolution based on the level of achievement of the Performance Target, the remainder of the Saving Period and any other factors deemed relevant by the board of directors.

B. Authorization on directed issues of series C shares
The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to authorize the board of directors, for the period up until the next annual general meeting, on one or several occasions, to issue a maximum of 6,096,168 series C shares. The new shares may, with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, only be subscribed for by a bank or a securities company at a subscription price which corresponds to the quota value of the shares. The purpose of the authorization and the reason for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights in connection with an issue of shares is to secure delivery of Matching Shares and Performance Shares under LTI 2025 and, in terms of liquidity, to hedge payments of future social security contributions related to LTI 2025. It is noted that this shall be achieved through the company repurchasing the series C shares issued pursuant to the authorization in accordance with section C below whereafter the repurchased series C shares will be converted to ordinary shares and transferred in accordance with section D below.

C. Authorization on repurchase of series C shares
The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to authorize the board of directors, for the period up until the next annual general meeting, on one or several occasions, to repurchase its own series C shares. Repurchase may only be effected through a public offer directed to all holders of series C shares and shall comprise all outstanding series C shares. Repurchase may also be made of so-called interim shares, by Euroclear Sweden AB designated as a Paid Subscribed Share (Sw. Betald Tecknad Aktie (BTA)), regarding a series C share. Repurchase shall be made at a purchase price per share which corresponds to the quota value of the share. The purpose of the proposed repurchase authorization is to secure delivery of Matching Shares and Performance Shares under LTI 2025 and, in terms of liquidity, to hedge payments of future social security contributions related to LTI 2025.

The board of directors' statement pursuant to Chapter 19, Section 22 of the Swedish Companies Act (Sw. aktiebolagslagen) is presented in a separate document provided with this proposal.

D. Resolution on transfer of own ordinary shares
In order to fulfil the company's obligations towards participants in LTI 2025, the board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves that the company shall be entitled to transfer the company's own ordinary shares as follows:
1. The company shall have the right to transfer the number of ordinary shares that the company has a maximum obligation to allocate as Matching Shares and Performance Shares to participants in LTI 2025, at most 5,210,400 shares.
2. The shares that can be transferred in accordance with paragraph 1 above may consist of either shares newly issued and repurchased in accordance with B - C above, shares which have been issued and repurchased in connection with corresponding LTI programs, but which are no longer required for the performance of the company's commitments under such programs, or shares which have been repurchased by the company through other repurchase authorizations.
3. The number of shares that may be transferred pursuant to LTI 2025 shall be subject to recalculation in consequence of a bonus issue, split or reverse split, rights issue, and/or other similar corporate action which affects the number of shares in the company.
4. The right to acquire ordinary shares shall, with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, vest in participants in LTI 2025 who are entitled to be allotted Matching Shares and Performance Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of the program.
5. Transfer of shares to participants in LTI 2025 shall be made free of charge and be executed at the relevant time specified in the terms and conditions for LTI 2025.
The reason for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights in connection with the transfers of own ordinary shares is to enable the company's delivery of Matching Shares and Performance Shares to participants in LTI 2025.
Since LTI 2025 is not expected to initially give rise to any costs for social security contributions for the company (and since a resolution on transfer is valid only until the next annual general meeting), the board of directors has decided not to propose that the annual general meeting 2025 resolves on an authorization for the board of directors to transfer the company's own ordinary shares on a regulated market for hedging of cash flow for social security payments in relation to LTI 2025. However, before any transfers of shares to participants in LTI 2025 are made, the board of directors intends to propose to a later general meeting to resolve on an authorization for the board of directors to transfer own ordinary shares on a regulated marked in order to hedge such payments.

Costs, impact on key ratios, existing incentive programs and dilution
The board of directors has made a preliminary cost calculation for LTI 2025. The costs for LTI 2025 are accrued over the vesting period which runs until 30 September 2028. The calculation has been made using the generally accepted modelling technique Monte-Carlo simulation based on the quoted closing price for shares in the company as per 13 March 2025, i.e. SEK 3.0 per share, and with the following assumptions: (i) all participants acquire the maximum number of Saving Shares; (ii) an annual dividend yield of 0 per cent; (iii) an estimated annual employee turnover of 0 per cent; and (iv) a share price volatility of 59 per cent. Based on these assumptions, the total costs for LTI 2025 are estimated to amount to approximately SEK 9.8 million, excluding social security contributions. The costs for social security contributions are estimated to amount to approximately SEK 1.7 million, based on the above assumptions, and an average tax rate of 17 per cent (blended rate) for social security contributions.


The anticipated annual costs of approximately SEK 3.8 million, including social security contributions, correspond to approximately 12.9 per cent of the company's total employee costs for the financial year 2024. Based on the calculation of costs as described above, the key figure earnings per share for the financial year 2024 had been changed from SEK -1.48 to SEK -1.55. It should be noted that the calculations are based on the assumptions stated above and are only intended to provide an illustration of the outcome.

As per the date of the notice, the number of shares in the company amounts to 97,193,153 shares, of which 96,106,032 are ordinary shares and 1,087,121 are series C shares which were issued in connection with outstanding share saving programs resolved upon at previous annual general meetings, and which will be converted into ordinary shares prior to delivery to the participants.

The maximum number of shares that can be issued in relation to LTI 2025 is 6,096,168 whereof 5,210,400 for delivery of Matching Shares and Performance Shares to the participants and in the aggregate 885,768 related to hedging of cash flow for social security payments, which corresponds to a dilution of approximately 5.96 per cent of the company's ordinary shares after full dilution, calculated on the number of ordinary shares that will be added upon full issuance of shares in connection with LTI 2025.

The company currently has four outstanding incentive programs, of which three are performance-based share saving programs and one is an employee option program. For a description of the outstanding performance-based share saving programs, see note 7 in the annual report for 2024. The outstanding employee option program was resolved by the extraordinary general meeting held on 25 February 2025. For a full description of the employee option program, please see the complete proposal ahead of the extraordinary general meeting. In the outstanding share saving programs, the participants may receive matching shares and, subject to conditions related to an increase in the share price, performance shares. In light of the company's implemented downsizing of the organization in 2023 and the company's share price development, the board of directors considers it uncertain that any performance shares will be delivered to participants in the outstanding share saving programs since the performance targets for the company's share price in the programs far exceed the current share price, and that only matching shares may be delivered to the participants who are still employed by the company. In the below calculation of overall dilution from existing incentive programs, any delivery of performance shares has hence been disregarded and only matching shares that may be delivered to participants in the programs have been considered. Moreover, the dilution below does not consider any conversion of series C shares into ordinary shares that the company may convert and transfer for hedging of cash flow for any social security contributions that may arise in relation to the outstanding share saving programs. Upon full delivery of matching shares in the existing share saving programs, the existing share saving programs can lead to that in the aggregate 362,755 new ordinary shares are issued. In addition, upon full exercise of the employee options that are held by the participants in the employee option program, a maximum of 4,840,000 new ordinary shares may be issued. The existing incentive programs can hence lead to that in the aggregate 5,202,755 new ordinary shares can be issued.

The aggregate maximum number of ordinary shares that can be issued in relation to all outstanding incentive programs as well as the proposed LTI 2025 amounts to 11,298,923, which corresponds to an aggregate dilution of approximately 10.52 per cent of the company's ordinary shares after full dilution, calculated on the number of ordinary shares that may be issued in relation to all outstanding incentive programs as well as the suggested LTI 2025.

Preparation of the proposal and other information
The proposal for LTI 2025 has been prepared by the Remuneration Committee together with external consultants. The final proposal has been resolved upon by the board of directors.

The board of directors' proposal on implementation of a long-term incentive program in accordance with Sections A to D above constitutes an overall proposal which shall be resolved upon as one resolution.

The chairman of the board of directors, or anyone appointed by him, shall be authorized to make minor formal adjustments of the resolution which may be required for registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Sw. Bolagsverket) or Euroclear Sweden AB.

Item 16: Resolution on authorization for the board of directors regarding transfer of own ordinary shares
The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to authorize the board of directors to, for the period up until the next annual general meeting, resolve on transfer of not more than 9,550 own ordinary shares, for the purpose of hedging cash flow for social security payments that may occur in relation to LTI 2022. Transfer of shares shall be effected on Nasdaq Stockholm at a price within the, at each time, prevailing price interval for the share. The number of shares that may be transferred shall be subject to recalculation in consequence of an intervening bonus issue, split or reverse split, rights issue, and/or other similar corporate action which affects the number of shares in the company. Shares may also be transferred outside of Nasdaq Stockholm, with or without deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights. Such transfer may be made at a price corresponding to the market price at the time of the transfer for the ordinary shares that are transferred, with the deviation deemed appropriate by the board of directors.

Particular majority requirements
For valid resolutions on the proposals pursuant to items 14 and 16, the proposals have to be supported by shareholders representing at least two-thirds of the votes cast as well as of all shares represented at the annual general meeting. For a valid resolution on the proposal pursuant to item 15, the proposal has to be supported by shareholders representing at least nine-tenths of the votes cast as well as of all shares represented at the annual general meeting.

Shareholders' right to information
At the annual general meeting, the board of directors and the CEO shall, if any shareholder so requests and the board of directors believes that it can be done without significant harm to the company, provide information regarding circumstances that may affect the assessment of items on the agenda, circumstances that can affect the assessment of the company's or its subsidiaries' financial position and the company's relation to other companies within the group.

Meeting documents
Financial statements, the audit report, the board of directors' remuneration report, the statement by the auditor on the compliance of the applicable guidelines for remuneration to senior executives, complete proposals for resolutions and other documents for the annual general meeting, will be kept available at the company's office, at Hyllie Boulevard 34, SE-215 32 Malmö, Sweden, and at the company's website (www.ascelia.com) as from no later than three weeks before the annual general meeting.

Number of shares and votes in the company
As per the date of the notice to the annual general meeting, the total number of shares in the company amounts to 97,193,153 shares, of which 96,106,032 are ordinary shares with one vote per share and 1,087,121 are series C shares with one-tenth of a vote per share. The number of votes in the company amounts to 96,214,744.1 votes. The company holds all 1,087,121 outstanding series C shares, corresponding to 108,712.1 votes, which cannot be represented at the meeting.
