Proposed decisions from the board
Decision on a cash issue (item 7)
The board proposes that the company’s share capital be increased by SEK 170 by a cash issue of 34 new shares. The shares shall be issued at the shares’ quota value, SEK 5 per share. Swedbank AB shall be entitled to subscribe to new shares, departing from the shareholders’ priority rights. Subscription and payment shall take place at the latest by Thursday 12 January 2012.

The reason for the departure from the shareholders’ priority rights and the ground for the issue price is that the issue is being carried out to create the requisite number of shares in the Company with a view to enabling the proposed bonus issue in accordance with item 9.

The new shares shall directly confer entitlement to dividend from the day that they have been registered in the share register kept by Euroclear Sweden AB.

Decision on amendment of the Articles of Association among others due to issue of a new class of share in the form of preference shares (item 8)
The board proposes that new articles of association be adopted to enable two classes of shares to be issued in future, common shares and preference shares. Shares issued to date and shares decided upon in accordance with item 7 above shall be common shares. This proposal means an amendment for article 5 of the Articles of Association.

The Board also proposes amendment of the company’s activity by amending the association’s point 3. In addition, the Board proposes amendment of the association’s point 6, so that deputies cannot be elected to the Board.

If the shareholders’ meeting adopts the proposal, the Articles of Association items 3, 5 and 6 will be worded as follows:

3.   ACTIVITIES
The Company’s activities is to, direct or indirect via subsidiaries, acquire, own, manage, develop and sell properties and conduct in compatible activities.

5.  ShareS

5.1 number and classes of shares

The number of shares shall be no less than sixty million (60,000,000) and no more than two hundred and forty million (240,000,000).


Two classes of shares may be issued, common shares and preference shares. Common shares and preference shares may be issued up to an amount corresponding to at most 100 per cent of the share capital. A common share confers one vote. A preference share confers one-tenth of a vote.

5.2 distribution of profit

Preference shares confer a preferential right over common shares to an annual dividend of ten Swedish kronor (SEK 10) per share with quarterly payment of SEK 2.50 per share. The record days for these payments shall be the last weekday in the month of June, September and December respectively after the annual general meeting of shareholders and in the month of March the year after the annual general meeting. In addition, preference shares shall entail a preferential right over common shares to a dividend of SEK 2.50 per share during the first quarter of 2012 with the record day for payment the final weekday of March 2012.

If no dividend is paid to preferential shareholders, or if only a dividend of less than ten Swedish kronor (SEK 10) per preference share is paid during one or more years, the preference shares shall confer a right to also receive, from the following year´s distributable funds, Retained Amounts, as defined below (including Upward Adjustment of Retained Amounts as defined below) before dividend is paid on common shares. If no dividend is paid or if only dividend of less than ten Swedish kronor (SEK 10) per preference share is paid for one or more years, it is incumbent on the following year’s annual general meeting to make a decision on the distribution of the quarterly payment of Retained Amounts. Preference shares shall not otherwise confer any right to dividend.

The difference between SEK 2.50 and the dividend paid per preference share (provided that the dividend decided upon at the annual general meeting is less than ten Swedish kronor (SEK 10) is added to “Retained Amounts”. In the event of dividend on preference shares being paid according to a decision at another shareholders’ meeting than the annual general meeting, distributed amounts per preference share shall be deducted from Retained Amounts. This deduction shall take place as at the day when payment is made to preference shareholders and be thus considered as settlement of the part of the Retained Amounts that has arisen first in time. Retained Amounts shall be adjusted upwards by a factor corresponding to an annual interest rate of eight (8) per cent (“The Upward Adjustment Amount”), whereupon upward adjustment shall take place beginning from the quarterly date on which payment of dividend has taken place (or should have taken place, in the event that no dividend has been paid at all) and based on the difference between SEK 2.50 and the dividend paid per preference share on the same quarterly date. In the event of this calculation taking place on another date than a full year from the date on which the supplement or deduction respectively has been made from Retained Amounts, adjustment of amounts added or deducted shall take place at an amount corresponding to the adjustment factor multiplied by the proportion of the year that has elapsed. Accrued Upward Adjustment Amounts are added to Retained Amounts and shall thereafter be included in the calculation of the Upward Adjustment Amount.

5.3 issues

In the event of an increase of the share capital by a cash issue or a set-off issue, the shareholders have a priority right to the new shares so that one old share confers a priority right to one new share of the same class, that shares which are not subscribed to by the shareholders with priority rights shall be offered to all shareholders and that, if it is not possible to issue the whole number of shares subscribed to due to the latter offer, the shares shall be distributed among subscribers in relation to their previous shareholding and, to the extent that this is not possible, by the casting of lots.

In the event of an increase of the share capital by a cash issue or a set-off issue of only one class of shares, the shareholders have a priority right to the new shares only in relation to their previous shareholding of shares of the same class. The provisions made above shall not entail any restriction of the ability to make decisions on a cash issue or a set-off issue deviating from the shareholders’ priority right.

If the Company decides to issue warrants or convertible instruments through a cash issue or a set-off issue, the shareholders have a priority right to subscribe to warrants or convertible instruments as if the issue had concerned the shares that may be subscribed to due to the warrant or exchanged for the convertible instruments.

An increase of the share capital through a bonus issue may only take place by the issue of common shares. A bonus issue may, however, also take place by the issue of preference shares to common shareholders. It is then the case that only the common shareholders have the right to the new shares. The bonus shares are distributed among the common shareholders in relation to the number of common shares they previously owned.

5.4 Redemption

A reduction of share capital, although not under the minimum share capital, may take place from 2015 onwards after a decision of a shareholders’ meeting through redemption of preference shares on the following bases.

The shareholders’ meeting decides upon the number of preference shares that are to be redeemed on each occasion. The preference shares to be redeemed are decided upon by the casting of lots. If the decision is supported by all preference shareholders, the meeting can, however, decide upon which preference shares are to be redeemed.

Holders of a particular preference share which it has been decided to redeem are obliged three months after notification of the redemption decision to accept the redemption price for the share at an amount calculated as the total of SEK 175 plus Retained Amounts according to article 5.2 (consisting of Retained Amounts and current Upward Adjustment Amounts up to and including the date on which the redemption amount falls due for payment). All interest calculation ceases from the date on which the redemption amount falls due for payment.

5.5 dissolution of the Company

If the Company is dissolved, the preference shares shall confer a right to receive SEK 150 per share from the Company’s assets as well as any Retained Amounts (including Retained Amounts and current Upward Adjustment Amounts) according to article 5.2 before distribution takes place to common shareholders. Preferential shares shall not otherwise confer any right to distributed amounts.

6.  THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The board of directors shall consist of at least four and at most eight members.

Decision on a bonus issue of preference shares to Klövern’s existing shareholders (item 9)
The board proposes that the shareholders’ meeting decide to make a bonus issue of preference shares to Klövern’s existing shareholders, including the shares subscribed to in accordance with item 7 above, whereupon a shareholder in Klövern will receive one (1) preference share per holding of forty (40) common shares. The bonus issue is being carried out to create the requisite spread of ownership among the owners of preference shareholders, which is a prerequisite for being able to list the preference share for trading on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm.

The proposal entails that share capital be increased by SEK 20,818,045 through a bonus issue of 4,163,609 new preference shares, in which connection forty old shares confer entitlement to one new preference share.
The amount by which the share capital shall be increased shall be provided from non-restricted equity (the share premium reserve).

The bonus issue requires amendment to the Articles of Association in accordance with item 8.

The board proposes that the shareholders’ meeting authorize the board, at the longest until the end of the next annual general meeting, to acquire and transfer the Company’s own shares.
