§ 11
A shareholder who wishes to participate at a general meeting must notify the company not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in the notice of the meeting. This day must not be a Sunday, other public holiday, Saturday, Midsummer Eve, Christmas Eve or New Years’ Eve and not fall earlier than the fifth weekday prior to the meeting. In case a shareholder wishes to be accompanied by an advisor at a general meeting, the number of advisors (not more than two) shall be stated in such notification.

§12
The company’s shares shall be registered in central securities depository (CSD) register in accordance with the Swedish Financial Instruments (Accounts) Act (SFS 1998:1479).

§ 13
If a class A share has been transferred to a person not previously a class A shareholder, the other class A shareholders shall be entitled to purchase the share. The new owner of the class A share shall, as soon as possible, and in the manner set out in the Swedish Companies Act, notify the board of directors of the share transfer (“Post-transfer Purchase Offer”). A post-transfer purchase right may not be exercised in respect of a smaller number of shares than the shares covered by the offer. The board of directors shall immediately give notice of the Post-transfer Purchase Offer to every post-transfer purchase rights holder with a known postal address. The notice shall indicate the period within which requests to exercise post-transfer purchase rights are to be made. Requests to exercise post-transfer purchase rights must be made within two (2) months of a proper Post-transfer Purchase Offer in accordance with the above. If requests to exercise post-transfer purchase rights are made by more than one post-transfer purchase rights holder, the shares shall, to the greatest extent possible, be evenly distributed amongst the post-transfer purchase rights holders who have requested to exercise their post-transfer purchase right. Any remaining shares shall be distributed through the drawing of lots by a notary public.

If the share has been transferred through a sale, the price to be paid upon the exercise of post-transfer purchase rights shall equal the purchase price. Where the transferee and the person requesting a purchase pursuant to a post-transfer purchase right fail to agree upon the purchase, the person requesting the purchase may initiate proceedings within two months from the date on which the request was made to the board of directors. Such dispute shall be settled by arbitration. The post-transfer purchase price shall be paid within one month from the date on which the post-transfer purchase price was determined.

§ 14
If the company resolves to issue new class A and class B shares through a cash or set-off issue, owners of class A and class B shares shall enjoy pre-emption rights to subscribe for new shares of the same class pro rata to the number of shares owned by them prior thereto (primary pre-emption right). Shares which are not subscribed for pursuant to primary pre-emption right shall be offered to all shareholders (subsidiary pre-emption right). If the shares thus offered are not sufficient for subscription pursuant to the secondary pre-emption right, 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.

If the company resolves to issue class A or class B shares through a cash or set-off issue, all shareholders shall, irrespective of whether their shares are of class A or class B, enjoy pre-emption rights to subscribe for new shares pro rata to the number of shares owned by them prior thereto.

If the company resolves to issue warrants or convertible debentures, through a cash or set-off issue, shareholders shall, with respect to warrants, enjoy pre-emption rights to subscribe for warrants as if the issue would concern the shares which may be newly subscribed for on the basis of the warrants and, with respect to convertible debentures, enjoy pre-emption rights to subscribe for convertible debentures as if the issue would concern the shares for which the convertible debentures may be exchanged.

The above shall not limit the right to resolve upon a cash issue or set-off issue with a deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights.

In the event of a bonus issue, new shares of each class shall be issued pro rata to the number of shares of each class outstanding prior thereto. In this connection, existing shares of a certain class shall entitle the owner to subscribe for new shares of the same class. This shall not restrict the possibility of issuing new shares of a new class by means of a bonus issue, following the required amendment to the articles of association.

§ 15
The board of directors may collect proxies at the company’s expense in accordance with the procedure stated in chapter 7 section 4 second paragraph of the Swedish Companies Act.
