Adoption of new Articles of Association The Annual General Meeting amended the company’s Articles of Association, consisting of the following changes in relation to the previous Articles of Association: (1) removal of the rule regarding the par value of the share and replacement with a rule specifying the number of shares in the Company; (2) amendment of the rule on preferential rights to include setoff issues and the issuance of warrants or convertibles; (3) removal of the rule specifying the term of office of the Auditor; (4) amendment of the rules for notice of General Meeting so that notice shall always be given in the form of an announcement in the Official Gazette (Post- och Inrikes Tidningar) and in Svenska Dagbladet; (5) amendment stating that shareholders who wish to participate in the Meeting must be included in a transcription or other representation of the complete share register to five weekdays prior to the Meeting; (6) amendment whereby the term ”General Meeting” is in certain instances replaced with ”Annual General Meeting”; and (7) amendment of the rule regarding the CSD (central securities depository) reservation and replacement with a wording stating that the Company’s shares must be recorded in a CSD register pursuant the Financial Instruments Accounts Act (1998:1479). The proposed amendments to the Articles of Association are principally an adaptation to the new Swedish Companies Act (2005:551), effective 1 January 2006. Authorisation of the Board’s decision on direct placement of shares The Annual General Meeting approved the Board of Directors’ decision 24 April 2006 to increase the Company’s share capital by not more than SEK 26,180,000 through a direct placement of not more than 261,800,000 class B shares. The right to subscribe for the new shares will be reserved for shareholders in Eldat. The subscription period will expire on 15 July 2006. Payment will be made in the form of non-cash consideration comprising all outstanding shares in Eldat. The new shares will grant entitlement to dividends starting in the current financial year. Authorisation of issue The Annual General Meeting decided in accordance with the Board of Directors proposal that the Annual General Meeting grant authorisation for the Board to decide, on one or several occasions during the period before the next Annual General Meeting, on the issuance of not more than 30 000 000 class B shares. In connection with such issuance of shares, the Board shall be authorised to depart from the preferential rights of shareholders, with or without a decision regarding contribution in kind. The reason for departure from preferential rights and non-cash issue is to enable the Company to issue shares in connection with the acquisition of companies, operations and rights.
