It is proposed that the auditor be remunerated against an approved bill.

Item 9 - Election of members of the board of directors and the auditor

The Shareholder propose that the AGM resolves to, until the time of the next AGM, re-elect Hans Olav Torsen, Carl Eide and Helge Rushfeldt as ordinary Board members. The Shareholder further propose that the auditing company Frejs Revisorer AB be re-elected as the Company's auditor with the authorized public accountant Sébastien Argillet as the principal auditor.

Item 10 – Resolution regarding new articles of association

The board proposes that the general meeting decide to adopt new articles of association whereby the items listed below are proposed to be changed to the following wording.

§4. Share capital

The share capital must be a minimum of SEK 1,590,448 and a maximum of SEK 6,361,792.

§5. The number of shares  

The number of shares must be a minimum of 42,800,000 and a maximum of 171,200,00.

The AGM’s resolution is valid only if it has been supported by shareholders holding not less than two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.

Item 11 – Resolution on adaption of an incentive program for certain key executives, employees and external key personnel

The Shareholder proposes that the AGM resolves on the adoption of a long- term incentive program for certain key executives, employees and external key personnel through a directed issue of warrants.

Background and incentive

The Shareholder considers that it is in the interest of the Company and the shareholders that certain key employees of the Company are involved in the Company’s development by being offered warrants within an incentive program. The Shareholder therefore submits the following proposal for resolution on an issue of warrants.

Proposal for resolution on the issue of warrants

The Shareholder proposes that the AGM resolves on the issue of a maximum of 800,000 warrants (2023/2027), entailing an increase of the share capital upon full exercise with a maximum of approximately SEK 29,728 (calculated on a quota value of SEK 0.037160 / share). Furthermore, the following conditions shall apply to the resolution.

  1. The right to subscribe for the warrants shall, with deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emptive rights, only vest in certain key employees in the Company according to the below:
  • Johan Sjöberg (Chief Exploration Manager), a maximum of 100,000 warrants
  • Matt Jackson (Chief Operations Officer), a maximum of 100,000 warrants
  • Tesfaye Medhane (CEO of the subsidiary Etno Mining Ltd), a maximum of 100,000 warrants
  • Cathryn MacCallum (Head of ESG), a maximum of 100,000 warrants
  • Aurel Aldea (Finance Manager), a maximum of 100,000 warrants
  • Manie Nienaber (Process Plant Manager), a maximum of 100,000 warrants
  • Steven Ruprecht (Mining Consultant), a maximum of 100,000 warrants
  • Johan Derbyshire (Metallurgical Consultant), a maximum of 100,000 warrants           

The reason for the deviation is to create conditions for retaining competent people in the Group and to increase the motivation of such people. In light of the terms of the program and other circumstances, the Shareholder considers that the proposal is beneficial to the Company and its shareholders.

  1. One (1) warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one (1) new share in the Company at a subscription price corresponding to NOK 8.50/share. The exchange rate between NOK and SEK used at subscription of shares with the support of warrants shall be the official NOK/SEK exchange rate as published by Norges Bank five (5) business days prior to the Company’s AGM 2023-06-19. The entire premium shall be transferred to the free premium fund.
  1. The warrants are issued free of charge.

  1. Subscription of the warrants shall be made on a separate subscription list within one (1) month from the date of the resolution.
  1. Over-subscription is not possible.
  1. The board of directors has the right to extend the subscription period.
  1. Subscription of shares with the support of warrants may take place during the period from the day the warrants have been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office up to and including 2027-06-19, provided that the holder of warrants, at the time when he/she subscribes for shares with support of warrants, does not have access to inside information as defined in the Market Abuse Regulation and provided that subscription of shares does not take place during a “Closed Period” as defined in the Company’s Insider Trading Policy and the Market Abuse Regulation.

The resolution in this proposal requires the support of shareholders representing not less than nine tenths of the votes cast as well as the shares represented at the shareholders’ meeting.

Item 12 – Resolution regarding authorization for the board of directors to resolve upon the new issue of shares with deviation from the pre-emption rights of shareholders to certain lenders

The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves to authorize the Board of Directors to, with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, until the time of the next AGM, on one or more occasions, resolves to issue new shares. Payment for shares issued with the support of the authorization must take place by set-off. The issue/issues shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the convertible loan agreement of NOK 49.175 million that was disclosed July 5, 2022. The Board's decision on the issue of shares may result in a total increase in the number of shares in the Company by a maximum of 13,000,000 shares. Upon full utilization of the authorization, the dilution amounts to approximately 23.26 percent calculated on the current number of shares in the Company.

The AGM’s resolution is valid only if it has been supported by shareholders holding not less than two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.

Item 13 - Resolution regarding authorization for the board of directors to resolve upon the new issue of shares, warrants and/or convertibles with deviation from the pre-emption rights of shareholders

The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves to authorize the Board of Directors to, with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, until the time of the next AGM, on one or more occasions, resolves to issue new shares, warrants and / or convertibles. Payment can be made against cash payment and / or through payment in kind and / or through set-off. Issue in accordance with the authorization shall take place on market terms, subject to any market issue discount, which the Company's Board of Directors deems to prevail on each individual occasion. The Board's decision on the issue of shares, warrants and / or convertibles may result in a total increase in the number of shares in the Company by a maximum of 7,600,000 shares (in the event of full subscription with the support of such warrants and / or full conversion of such convertibles and before any recalculation according to the terms of the warrants and / or the convertibles). Upon full utilization of the authorization, the dilution amounts to approximately 15 percent calculated on the current number of shares in the Company.

The AGM’s resolution is valid only if it has been supported by shareholders holding not less than two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.

Item 14 - Resolution regarding authorization for the board of directors to resolve upon the new issue of shares, warrants and/or convertibles without deviation from the pre-emption rights of shareholders

The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves to authorize the Board of Directors to, without deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, until the time of the next AGM, on one or more occasions, resolves to issue new shares, warrants and / or convertibles. Payment can be made against cash payment and / or through payment in kind and / or through set-off. Issue in accordance with the authorization shall take place on market terms, subject to any market issue discount, which the Company's Board of Directors deems to prevail on each individual occasion.
