The company shall also be entitled to own and manage real estate as well as shares and other movables, and carry on other activities compatible therewith. The company shall have the right to guarantee or otherwise pledge security for obligations assumed by other companies within the same group. § 4 Share capital and number of shares The share capital shall be not less than SEK 100,000,000 and not more than SEK 400,000,000. The number of shares shall be not less than 50,000,000 and not more than 200,000,000. § 5 Shares The company may issue shares of three classes, Class A, Class B and Class C. Class A shares may be issued in a maximum number of 200,000,000 and Class B in a maximum number of 200,000,000 and Series C in a maximum number of 200,000,000. Each share of Class A shall carry ten votes, and each share of Class B and C, respectively, shall carry one vote. Shares of either class may be issued up to an amount corresponding to the entire share capital. Owners of Class C shares are not entitled to dividends. Upon the company’s liquidation, Class C shares carry equivalent right to the company’s assets as other shares, however not to an amount exceeding the quota value of the share. In the event of new issues of shares of Class A, Class B and Class C where payment is not to be made in kind, owners of shares of Class A, Class B and Class C shall enjoy pre-emption rights to subscribe for new shares of the same class pro rata to the number of shares previously held by them (primary pre-emption right). Shares which are not subscribed for pursuant to the primary pre-emption rights shall be offered to all shareholders (secondary pre-emption right). If the shares thus offered are not sufficient for the subscription pursuant to the secondary pre-emption 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. In the event of new issues of shares of Class A, Class B or Class C where payment is not to be made in kind, all shareholders shall, irrespective of whether their shares are of Class A, Class B or Class C, have pre-emption rights to subscribe for new shares pro rata to the number of shares previously held by them. The stipulations regarding preferential rights shall apply mutatis mutandis for new issues of warrants and convertible debt and shall not infringe on the possibility to resolve on an issue in which the preferential rights of shareholders are waived. If the share capital is increased by a bonus issue, where new shares are issued, new shares of Class A and Class B shall be issued in relation to the number of shares of the same classes already held. In such cases, old shares of a specific class shall entitle to new shares of the same class. Class C shares do not carry rights to participate in bonus issues. Following a requisite amendment in the Articles of Association, the aforementioned stipulation shall not infringe on the possibility to issue shares of a new class by a bonus issue. Reduction of share capital, which in any case shall not fall below the minimum share capital, may, upon the request of an owner of Class C shares and a resolution by the company’s board of directors or the general meeting, take place through redemption of Class C shares. A request from an owner of Class C shares shall be made in writing to the Board of Directors and the Board shall process the request promptly. When a resolution on reduction has been passed, an amount corresponding to the reduction amount shall be transferred to the company’s reserve fund, if required funds are available. The redemption amount per Class C share shall correspond to the quota value of such shares. Following notice of the redemption resolution, holders of shares shall promptly receive payment for the shares, or, if authorisation from the Swedish Companies Registration Office or a court is required, following notice that the final decision has been registered. Class C shares held by the company may, upon the decision of the Board of Directors, be reclassified into Class B Shares.

The reclassification is effected when it has been registered and the reclassification noted in the Swedish Central Securities Depository. Shares of Class A shall be subject to reclassification to shares of Class B.

When making a request in accordance with alternative (ii) above, the shareholder shall also state the total number of shares of Class A and shares of Class B that the shareholder holds at the time of the request.
