to approve a long-term share-related incentive plan in the form of a share option plan for members of Group Management and other employees of the Company (“Employee LTIP 2023”). Under Employee LTIP 2023, the Board of Directors is entitled to grant employee options to all employees. The Chief Executive Officer may be granted up to 2,290,000 employee options and other employees may be granted up to 1,074,000 employee options each (subject to the cap of 7,000,000 employee options in total). Each employee option entitles the holder to either purchase one share in the Company at a price per share corresponding to the volume weighted average price for the Company’s share on Nasdaq Stockholm during 22–26 May 2023 (or a later period of five trading days as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with the resolution) or to “net equity settle” the employee options and thereby receive a reduced number of shares, subject to the continued employment within the group during a three-year vesting period. After the vesting period, the participants in Employee LTIP 2023 are entitled to exercise all or part of the employee options until 31 May 2030.
to authorise the Board of Directors to issue new shares and/or convertible debentures corresponding to in total not more than 28,500,000 new shares, with or without the application of the shareholders pre-emption rights, in order to enable or facilitate acquisitions of companies or businesses or other major investments; and
to authorise the Board of Directors to decide on repurchases and sales of shares in Orrön Energy on Nasdaq Stockholm, where the number of shares repurchased shall be limited so that shares held in treasury from time to time do not exceed ten percent of all outstanding shares of the Company.
In order to secure the Company’s obligations under the Employee LTIP 2023, the AGM resolved to approve that the Company enters into an equity swap arrangement with a third party, whereby the third party in its own name shall be entitled to acquire and transfer shares (including to the participants) in accordance with the terms and conditions of Employee LTIP 2023. The Board of director’s proposal to secure the delivery of shares and cover costs through an issue and transfer of warrants was not approved with the requisite majority at the AGM.
The two shareholder proposals which were put to the meeting by a minority shareholder, were both rejected by the shareholders at the AGM.
