Should the Nomination Committee’s proposal for auditor be adopted, Ernst & Young Aktiebolag has informed that authorised public accountant Gabriel Novella will be appointed auditor in charge.

Resolution regarding authorisation for the Board of Directors to resolve on new share issues (item 12)
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorises the Board of Directors to, up until the next Annual General Meeting, on one or several occasions, resolve on increasing the company’s share capital by way of share issue to such an extent that it corresponds to a dilution which corresponds to maximum 10 percent, based on the number of shares that are outstanding at the time of the Annual General Meeting’s resolution on the authorisation, after full exercise of the hereby proposed authorisation.

New share issues may be made with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights and with or without provisions for contribution in kind, set-off or other conditions. The purpose of the authorisation is to increase the company’s financial flexibility and to enable the company to make payment with own shares in connection with any acquisition of properties, a company or business operations that the company may conduct. In the event of issuances that deviate from the shareholders’ preferential rights, the starting point for determining the issuance price shall be the prevailing market conditions at the time when shares are issued. The CEO shall be authorised to make such minor adjustments to this resolution that may be necessary in connection with the registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

The Board of Directors’ proposal regarding long-term incentive program 2023 (item 13)
The Board of Directors of Neobo Fastigheter AB (publ) proposes that the General Meeting pass a resolution on the implementation of a long-term incentive program 2023 (”LTIP 2023”). The proposal is divided into the following items.

A. Resolution regarding issue and approval of transfer of warrants, series 2023/2026:1
B. Other matters in relation to the LTIP 2023

A. Issue of warrants, series 2023/2026:1

The Board of Directors of the Company proposes that the General Meeting resolve to carry out a private placement in respect of not more than 727,000 warrants of series 2023/2026:1, entailing an increase in the share capital of not more than SEK 3,760,118.630802 if the private placement is fully taken up.

1. The resolution according to the above shall otherwise be governed by the following terms and conditions

1.1 The right to subscribe for the warrants, with derogation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights, shall vest in the Company, with right and obligation to transfer the warrants to employees in the Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with below.

No oversubscription is allowed.

1.2 The reason for the derogation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights is to implement an incentive program through which employees in the Company and its subsidiaries shall be able to become long-term owners and participate in and work for a positive growth of value of the Company’s share for the period that the program covers, and to ensure that the Company and its subsidiaries can keep and recruit qualified and motivated personnel.

1.3 The warrants shall be issued at no consideration.

1.4 Subscription for the warrants shall take place on the same day as the date of the resolution to issue warrants. The Board of Directors shall be entitled to extend the subscription period.

1.5 Each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one new share in the Company.

1.6 The warrants may be exercised for subscription of new shares during the period commencing on May 1, 2026, up to and including May 25, 2026.

1.7 The subscription price per share shall correspond to 120 percent of the volume-weighted average price according to Nasdaq First North Growth Market’s official price list for the share during the 10 trading days immediately following May 10, 2023.

1.8 Any share premium shall be transferred to the unrestricted premium reserve.

1.9 The shares subscribed for based on the warrants shall carry a right to participate in dividends for the first time on the next record date for dividends, which occurs after subscription is completed.

1.10 Other terms and conditions according to the complete terms and conditions for series 2023/2026:1.

2. Approval of transfer of warrants, series 2023/2026:1

2.1 The Board of Directors proposes that the General Meeting approves the Company’s transfer of warrants series 2023/2026:1 in accordance with the following.

2.2 The right to acquire warrants from the Company shall vest in two categories of participants (the ”Participants”) in accordance with the table below.

2.3 Initially, each Participant will be offered to acquire warrants in accordance with the table set out below. Any warrants remaining thereafter may be allotted to other Participants pro rata, based on the number of warrants they initially acquired and, where this is not possible, through a drawing of lots. However, such allotment may at most result in that 200,000 warrants are allotted to each Participant of category B. Thereafter, if any warrants remain, such warrants may be allotted to Participants of category A.

Category Number of Participants Number of warrants per Participant Total number of warrants
CEO
(”Category A”)
Max. 1 Max. 436,200 Max. 436,200
Senior executives (”Category B”) Max. 3 Max. 96,933 Max. 290,800

2.4 The warrants of series 2023/2026:1 shall be transferred on market terms at a price (premium) based on an estimated market value of the warrants that has been calculated by an independent valuation institute using the Black & Scholes valuation model.

2.5 The value for warrants of series 2023/2026:1 has, during February 2023, preliminary been calculated to SEK 1.68 per warrant based on a share price of SEK 13.00, a subscription price per share of SEK 15.60, a term of 3 years, a risk-free interest rate of 2.71 percent, a volatility of 45 percent and an illiquidity discount of 25 percent.

2.6 The preliminary calculation above assumes that dividends amounting to SEK 2.70 are paid to shareholders during the warrant’s term, and that any dividends exceeding SEK 2.70 are fully compensated for by recalculation in accordance with the terms and condition for warrants.

2.7 The final valuation of the warrants of series 2023/2026:1 takes place in connection with the Participants’s acquisition of the warrants and will be based on market conditions at that time.

2.8 Allotment requires that the warrants can be legally acquired and that, in the Board of Director’s opinion, such acquisition can take place using a reasonable amount of administrative and financial resources.

2.9 Application for acquisition of warrants shall take place on May 25, 2023. The Board of Directors is authorised to extend the application period.

2.10 The Company reserves the right to repurchase warrants if the Participant’s employment with the Company or its subsidiaries is terminated or if the Participant in turn wishes to transfer warrants. The warrants shall otherwise be governed by market terms.

2.11 Warrants held by the Company that are not transferred to Participants or that are repurchased from Participants, may be cancelled through a decision by the Board of Directors. The cancellation shall be notified to the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

B. Other matters in relation to the LTIP 2023

1.1 Effects on key figures and costs
The Company’s earnings per share will not be affected by the issue, since the warrants’ strike price exceeds the current market value of the shares at the time of the issue. The Company’s future earnings per share may be affected by the potential dilutive effect of the warrants in the event the Company reports a positive result and the strike price is lower than the market value. The warrants will be transferred at market value, which means that no taxable benefit value will arise and thus no social fees for the Company. In addition, the warrant program will give rise to certain limited costs in the form of external consulting fees and administration of the warrant program.

1.2 Dilution of existing shares and votes
Based on the number of shares and votes outstanding in the Company, LTIP 2023 implies, upon exercise of all 727,000 warrants, a full dilution corresponding to approximately 0.5 percent of the total number of shares and votes outstanding in the Company on a fully diluted basis, however, subject to the recalculation of the number of shares that each warrant entitles to subscribe for that may occur as a result of certain issues etc.

1.3 Calculation of the market value
The preliminary market value has, during February 2023, been established based on a calculated market value for the warrants, applying the Black & Scholes valuation model calculated by Stockholm Corporate Finance AB.

1.4 Other share-related incentive programs
The Company’s has no outstanding share-related incentive programs.

1.5 Authorisations for the Board of Directors
The General Meeting authorises the Board of Directors to execute the resolution under item A.2. above. In addition, the Board of Directors, or a person appointed by the Board of Directors, shall be authorised to make minor adjustments to the resolutions above that may be necessary in connection with the registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB, respectively.

1.6 The background and rationale for the proposal
The Board of Directors wishes to implement an incentive program through which employees in the Company and its subsidiaries shall be able to become long-term owners and participate in and work for a positive growth of value of the Company’s share for the period that the program covers, and to ensure that the Company and its subsidiaries can keep and recruit qualified and motivated personnel.

1.7 Preparation of the proposal
The basis for LTIP 2023 has been prepared by the Board of Directors of the Company. The work has been supported by external advisors and has been made in consultation with shareholders. The Board of Directors has thereafter decided to present this proposal for the General Meeting. Except for the staff that have prepared the matter upon instruction from the Board of Directors, no employee that may be a Participant of the program has participated in the preparations of the program’s terms.

1.8 Majority requirements
The resolution by the General Meeting regarding the implementation LTIP 2023 in accordance with the above requires that shareholders representing not less than nine-tenths of the votes cast as well as the shares represented at the General Meeting approve the resolution.
