Investor Relations
Articles of association
Adopted at AGM on May 6th 2022
§ 1 Business name
The company’s business name is ADDvise Group AB (publ).
§ 2 Registered office
The board of directors (‘board’) shall have its seat in the Municipality of Stockholm.
§ 3 Object of the company’s business
The company shall, through wholly or partly owned subsidiaries, carry on trading in and manufacture primarily medical technical equipment and products and also conduct other operations compatible therewith.
§ 4 Share capital
The share capital shall comprise at least SEK 9,600,000 and at most SEK 38,400,000.
§ 5 Number of shares
The number of shares in the company shall comprise at least 96,000,000 and at most 384,000,000.
§ 6 Classes of shares
The shares shall be issued in two series: Series A and Series B. The number of shares of each class may correspond to no more than the entire number of shares in the company. Series A shares carry one (1) vote and Series B shares carry one tenth (1/10) of a vote.
Should the company decide to issue new Series A and Series B shares by way of a cash issue or a set-off issue, holders of Series A and Series B shares shall have a pre-emption right to subscribe for new shares of the same class in proportion to the number of shares the holder already owns (‘primary pre-emption). Shares that are not subscribed for pursuant to a primary pre-emption right shall be offered to all shareholders for subscription (‘secondary pre-emption right’). If the shares thus offered are not sufficient for the subscription made pursuant to a secondary pre-emption right, such shares shall be allotted between the subscribers in proportion to the number of shares they already own and, insofar as this cannot be done, by the drawing of lots.
Should the company decide to issue only new Series A shares or only Series B shares by way of a cash issue or set-off issue, all shareholders, regardless of whether their shares are Series A or Series B shares, shall have a pre-emption right to subscribe for new shares in proportion to the number of shares they already own.
The above provisions shall not entail any limitation to the power to make a decision concerning a cash issue or a set-off issue deviating from the pre-emption rights of the shareholders.
Should the company decide to issue warrants or convertibles by way of a cash issue or a set-off issue, the shareholders shall have respectively a pre-emption right to subscribe for warrants, as if the issue related to those shares for which a new subscription may be made pursuant to the option right, and a pre-emption right to subscribe for convertibles, as if the issue related to those shares for which the convertibles may in the future be exchanged.
When the share capital is increased by way of a bonus issue, new shares of each class shall be issued in proportion to the number of shares of the same class that previously existed. This means that old shares of a certain class shall carry the right to new shares of the same class in relation to their proportion of the share capital. This provision shall not entail any limitation to the power to implement a bonus issue and, following any appropriate amendments to the Articles of Association, issue new shares of a new class.
