  1.

  3. The record date for entitlement to participate in the rights issue with pre-emptive right shall be 7 March 2019.
  4. If not all of the shares are subscribed for by exercise of subscription rights, the Board of Directors shall resolve on allotment of shares subscribed for without the exercise of subscription rights up to the maximum amount of the share issue.

Secondly, allotment shall be made to others who have applied for subscription without subscription rights (the general public in Sweden and qualified investors) and, in case of oversubscription, pro rata in relation to the number of shares stated in each subscription application. Thirdly, allotment shall be made to the Fourth Swedish National Pension Fund in its capacity as guarantor up to its guarantee amount. Fourthly, allotment shall be made to other guarantors who have entered into guarantee agreements with the company, and in case all such parties do not receive full allotment, the shares shall be allotted pro rata in relation to the respective guarantee amount. To the extent allotment in the case of oversubscription or to guarantors cannot be made pro rata in accordance with the above, allotment shall be made by drawing of lots.
  5. Subscription for new shares shall be made during the period as from 11 March 2019 up to and including 25 March 2019, or, as regards the guarantors, up to and including 28 March 2019. The Board of Directors shall be entitled to extend the period for subscription.

Subscription for new shares without subscription rights shall be made on a separate subscription list where allotted shares shall be paid in cash no later than two (2) banking days from dispatch of the contract note to the subscriber setting forth the allot­ment of shares. The Board of Directors shall be entitled to extend the period for payment.
