The amendments are required for the purpose of the proposed rights issue under item 8.
RIGHTS ISSUE (ITEM 8)
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to increase the company’s share capital with not more than SEK 97,649,990 through issue of not more than 583,333 new class A shares and not more than 9,181,666 new class B shares.
The shareholders shall be entitled to subscribe for the new shares with pre-emptive rights. One class A share shall entitle to subscription for one new class A share and one class B share shall entitle to subscription for one new class B share (primary pre-emptive right). Shares not subscribed for with primary pre-emptive rights shall be offered to all shareholders for subscription (secondary pre-emptive right). If the shares thus offered are not sufficient for the subscriptions made with secondary pre-emptive rights, the shares shall be allocated between the subscribers pro rata to the number of shares previously held and, to the extent such allocation cannot be effected, by the drawing of lots. Thereafter, allocation shall be made to other persons that have subscribed without pre-emptive rights, whereby – in the event of over-subscription – allocation shall be made in relation to the number of shares set forth in the respective subscription form and, to the extent such allocation cannot be effected, by the drawing of lots. Any remaining shares shall be allocated to the guarantor Carl Bennet AB.
The subscription price in the rights issue shall be SEK 22 per share. The record date for the right to participate in the rights issue shall be 30 August 2010. Subscription for the new shares shall be made during the period 6-20 September 2010.
