Nomination Committee (item 11)
The nomination committee proposes that the company shall have a nomination committee composed of the Chairman of the Board and one representative for each of the three largest shareholders based on ownership of the company as per 1 September 2022. Should one of the three largest shareholders refrain from appointing a representative to the nomination committee, the right shall pass to the shareholder that, excluding these three shareholders, has the largest shareholding in the company. The Chairman of the Board of Directors shall convene the nomination committee. The member representing the largest shareholder shall be appointed chairman of the nomination committee, unless the nomination committee unanimously appoints another member.

If earlier than three months prior to the annual shareholders’ meeting, one or more of the shareholders having appointed representatives to the nomination committee no longer are among the three largest shareholders, representatives appointed by these shareholders shall resign and the shareholders who then are among the three largest shareholders may appoint their representatives to the nomination committee. However, unless special reasons apply, no change to the composition of the nomination committee shall be made if there has only been a minor change of ownership or if the change occurs later than three months prior to the annual shareholders’ meeting. Should a member resign from the nomination committee before its work is completed, the shareholder who has appointed the member resigned shall appoint a new member. If such shareholder is no longer among the three largest shareholders, a new member shall be appointed in accordance with the order set out above. Shareholders who have appointed a representative to be a member of the nomination committee shall have the right to dismiss such member and appoint a new representative of the nomination committee.

Changes to the composition of the nomination committee must be announced immediately. The term of office for the nomination committee ends when the composition of the following nomination committee has been announced. The nomination committee shall perform the tasks incumbent on the nomination committee pursuant to the Swedish Corporate Governance Code.

The Board of Director’s proposal regarding amendment of the terms and conditions for warrants (item 12)
The company has implemented a number of different warrant programs under which employees in the company have been offered to subscribe for warrants entitling to subscription for shares in Haypp Group AB. The warrants have been issued in various series (2017/2022, 2018/2022, 2018/2023, 2020/2022, 2020/2023 and 2021/2024), with different expiration dates and subscription prices.

Due to an identified need to prolong and improve the incentives for the company’s employees, the Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to prolong the terms of the warrants listed below to 31 October 2023. The Board of Director’s proposal includes warrants of series 2017/2022:3, 2018/2022:1, 2018/2022:2, 2018/2022:3, 2018/2023:1, 2018/2023:2:1, 2018/2023:2:2, 2018/2023:3, 2018/2023:4, 2020/2022:1:1, 2020/2022:1:4, 2020/2023:1 and 2021/2023, which together entitle to subscription for 1,466,209 new shares in the company.

The Board of Director’s proposal regarding implementation of a new long-term incentive program (item 13)
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to implement a new long-term incentive program for the executive management and other key individuals within Haypp Group AB, through the issue of warrants (the ”Program”), and cancellation of certain previously issued warrants, in accordance with the following. The resolutions under this item are conditional upon each other and are thus proposed to be made as one resolution.

Issue of warrants (item 13a)
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting, with deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emptive rights, resolves to issue not more than 1,644,152 warrants of series 2022/2025, whereupon the company’s share capital may be increased by not more than approximately SEK 107,705.89.

The right to subscribe for the warrants shall, with deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emptive rights, only be vested in the company or one of the company’s wholly owned subsidiary, for subsequent transfer to current and future members of the executive management and other key individuals in the group. Such transfer shall be made on market terms and conditions. The warrants shall be issued free of charge to the subsidiary.

Each warrant entitles to subscription for one new share in the company at a subscription price of SEK 50. Subscription for new shares by virtue of the warrants shall be made during the period 31 May 2022 up to and including 31 May 2025.

Approval of transfer of warrants (item 13b)
In order to enable the company’s delivery of warrants under the Program, the Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to approve that the warrants issued in accordance with item 13(a) above, directly or indirectly, may be transferred to the participants in the Program at a price per warrant subscribed for amounting to the warrant’s market value at the time of the transfer, calculated pursuant to the Black & Scholes warrant valuation model.

The Program comprises not more than 40 persons. The allotment of warrants shall take place according to the following principles.

In the event that the participants wish to acquire a larger number of warrants than the number stated above, the allotment of warrants which have not been acquired by another within the maximum amount of the issue, shall be made in proportion to the number of warrants that relevant participants wish to acquire.

Cancellation of previously issued warrants (item 13c)
In order to achieve an appropriate number of warrants in the company, taking into account the above proposals, the Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to cancel a total of 1,210,904 warrants that have previously been issued by the company. The warrants covered by the Board of Director’s proposal are 758 warrants of series 2020/2022:1, 756 warrants of series 2020/2023:2, 577 warrants of series 2021/2023 and 897,254 warrants of series 2021/2024. The warrants that are proposed to be cancelled entitle to subscription for a total of 1,210,904 new shares in the company.

Preparation of and motives for the proposal, etc
The Program has been prepared by the Board of Directors of the company in consultation with external advisors. The motives for the proposals and the reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emptive rights are to create conditions for motivating, retaining and recruiting executive management and other key individuals in the group. The Board of Directors deems that it is in all shareholders’ interest that senior executives and other key individuals have a long-term interest of a beneficial development of the value of the company’s share.

The Board of Directors of Haypp Group AB, shall be responsible for preparing the detailed design and administration of the terms and conditions of the Program, in accordance with the above presented terms and conditions. In connection therewith, the Board of Directors shall be entitled to make adjustments to meet specific foreign regulations or market conditions, including resolving on cash or other settlement if deemed favourable for the company based on foreign tax regulations.

Dilution
Upon full exercise of the warrants at the terms and conditions applicable at the time of the resolution, the number of shares and votes in the company will be increased by 1,644,152, which corresponds to approximately 5 percent of the number of shares and votes in the company. Upon full exercise of all outstanding warrants in the company, including the warrants that are proposed to be issued and taking into account the above proposed cancellation of previously issued warrants, the number of shares and votes in the company will be increased by not more than 3,234,338, which corresponds to approximately 10 percent of the number of shares and votes in the company. The dilutive effect is calculated as the number of additional shares and votes upon full exercise of all warrants, in relation to the total number of shares and votes upon full exercise.

Impact on key figures and costs for the company
The cost for the incentive program is expected to have a marginal impact on the company’s key figures. The warrants will be transferred at market value and, therefore, no social security contributions are expected to be incurred by Haypp Group AB in connection with the Program. The company’s costs for the Program are thus only related to external advisors in connection with the implementation of the Program. In the event the Board of Directors makes adjustments to the Program for foreign participants, such as deciding on cash settlement, the outcome of the Program will affect the company’s earnings in the form of increased personnel costs.

Majority requirements
In order for resolutions in accordance with the Board of Directors proposal above to be valid, the resolutions must be supported by shareholders representing at least nine-tenths of the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.
