If any of these waives their right to appoint their representative to the Nomination Committee, the shareholder who is subsequently the largest shareholder in terms of number of votes shall appoint a representative, and so on. The Nomination Committee appoints a chairman (convener).
The term of office extends until a new Nomination Committee has been appointed.

The Nomination Committee shall seek to find members whose competence and interest is to realize the company’s visions and goals.

Item 13
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to, until the next Annual General Meeting, authorize the Board of Directors to, on one or more occasions, decide on the issue of shares, warrants and/or convertibles. The authorization shall include the right to deviate from the shareholders’ preferential right to subscription and the right to decide on an issue that is paid through the addition of cash, non-cash contributions or through the right of set-off. The company’s share capital and the number of shares may, with the support of the authorization, be increased by a maximum of an amount or number that falls within the limits of the Articles of Association. The proposed resolution in its entirety forms part of the notice. The Board’s reasons for the possibility of deviating from the shareholders’ preferential rights are to be able to secure the company’s capital needs in the event of an expansion and to be able to carry out strategic acquisitions. The Board’s view is that it may be relevant to carry out a new issue/s to both existing and new investors.
The Board shall, immediately after the decision on authorization, ensure that the decision is notified for registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office. Prior to registration, the board may not decide on a new share issue. The Board of Directors, the CEO, or the person appointed by the Board of Directors shall have the right to make the minor adjustments to the decision that may prove necessary in connection with registration thereof.
