Item 8 - Resolution on authorization to the board of directors to issue new shares

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting authorizes the board of directors, for the time until the next annual general meeting, to increase the Company's share capital by not more than 100,000 SEK through an issue of not more than 800,000 shares. The board of directors shall be authorized to adopt decisions on issues at one or several occasions, with or without deviation from the shareholders" pre-emption rights and/or by an issue in kind, by way of set-off or otherwise on conditions in accordance with the Swedish Companies Act.

An issue in accordance with this authorization shall be on market conditions. The board of directors shall be authorized to decide on the terms and conditions regarding issues under this authorization and what persons shall be entitled to subscribe for the shares. The reason for the proposal that the board of directors shall be authorized to resolve on an issue with deviation from the shareholders' pre-emption rights and to resolve on an issue in kind or an issue by way of set-off or otherwise on such terms and conditions as referred to above, is that the Company shall be able to comply with its obligations under agreements with guarantees by reason of the rights issue in item 7 above.
