R12 Kapital Holdco AB proposes:

Principles for appointment of the Nomination Committee

1. The composition of the nomination committee
The nomination committee shall consist of three members – a representative of each of the three majority shareholders as of the last banking day in August, who wishes to appoint a member of the nomination committee, as well as the chairman of the board. In this instruction, the three majority shareholders refer to the three largest shareholders/shareholder groups registered by Euroclear Sweden AB as per the last banking day in August.

The chairman of the board of directors shall, as soon as possible, but in no event later than 10 banking days after the information on the majority shareholders as of the last banking day in August has become known, contact the three largest shareholders to find out if they wish to appoint members to the nomination committee. If any of the three shareholders with the largest voting rights does not exercise the right to appoint a member, the chairman of the board of directors shall, up to and including the tenth largest owner, request the next owner (i.e., first the fourth largest owner and so on) to appoint an owner-representative within a week. If only two owner-representatives wish to appoint representatives after the tenth largest owner has been contacted, the nomination committee may constitute itself with two ordinary members.

The chairman of the nomination committee shall be the director who represents the largest shareholder in terms of voting rights, unless the nomination committee decides otherwise. However, the chairman of the board of directors shall never be the chairman of the nomination committee.

The names of the members of the nomination committee shall be published as soon as the nomination committee has been appointed but in no event later than six months ahead of the upcoming annual general meeting. The nomination committee is appointed for a mandate period commencing at the time its composition is published until a new nomination committee is appointed.

If there is a change in the Company’s ownership-structure after the last banking day in August, but before the nomination committee’s complete proposals are published, and if a shareholder which after this change becomes one of the three shareholders holding the highest percentage of voting rights in the Company, requests to the chairman of the nomination committee to join the nomination committee, such shareholder shall have the right to, subject to the nomination committee’s approval, appoint an additional director of the nomination committee.

If a member appointed by a shareholder resign from the nomination committee during the mandate period, or if such member is unable to fulfil his or her assignment, the nomination committee shall request the shareholder who has appointed the member to appoint a new member within a reasonable time. If the shareholder does not exercise the right to appoint such new member, the right to appoint such new member passes to the shareholder holding the following highest percentage of voting rights, who has not already appointed or refrained from appointing a member of the nomination committee. Changes in the composition of the nomination committee shall be published as soon as they occur.

2. The nomination Committee’s assignments
The nomination committee shall carry out its assignment as set out in these instructions and applicable rules. In its assignment it is included that the nomination committee shall prepare proposals regarding the following matters, to be put forward to the annual general meeting for decision:

• proposal for number of board of directors and auditors and, where applicable, deputy auditors,
• proposal regarding chairman for the general meeting,
• proposal for board of directors,
• proposal for chairman of the board of directors,
• proposal for fees for the board of directors, distinguishing between the chairman and other board members as well as remuneration for committee work,
• proposal for auditors and, where applicable, deputy auditors,
• proposal for fees to auditors, and
• to the extent considered necessary, proposed amendments to these principles.

At a general meeting other than the annual general meeting, the nomination committee’s proposals shall include the election or elections that shall be taken place at such general meeting.

The nomination committee’s proposals shall be submitted to the Company through its chairman well in advance before the Company’s notice to attend the annual general meeting and in such a way that the Company will be able to comply with item 4.1 of the Swedish Corporate Governance Code (Sw. Svensk kod för bolagsstyrning) regarding the election of the board of directors.

3. Meetings
The nomination committee shall meet as frequently as required for the nomination committee to be able to fulfil its assignments, however, at least once a year. Notice to meetings shall be issued by the chairman of the nomination committee. If a member requests that the nomination committee shall be convened for a meeting, such request shall be complied with.

The nomination committee has a quorum if at least two members are present. The decisions of the nomination committee are passed by a simple majority of votes cast by members present at the meeting. In the event of tied votes, the chairman has the casting vote.

4. Fees
No fees shall be paid to the members of the nomination committee. However, the Company shall pay for reasonable costs associated with the nomination committee’s assignment.

5. Attendance of the nomination committee at the general meeting
Representatives of the nomination committee should always attend the annual general meeting.

6. Amendments on the instruction
The nomination committee shall continuously evaluate these principles and its work and submit proposals to such amendments to these principles to the annual general meeting as deemed appropriate by the nomination committee.

Item 15; Resolution on authorization for the Board of Directors to resolve on new share issues, with or without the preferential rights for the shareholders
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to authorize the Board, on one or more occasions, to decide on new share issues, with or without deviation from shareholders’ preferential rights, until the next Annual General Meeting.

The number of shares issued pursuant to the authorization may not exceed an increase of ten (10) percent of the share capital based on the share capital of the company at the time of the Annual General Meeting 2021.

Payment may, in addition to cash payment, be made by way of contribution or set-off, or otherwise with conditions. If the Board of Directors decides to issue new shares with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, the reason for this shall be to provide the company with new owners of strategic importance to the company or in order to implement an acquisition agreement, or alternatively to procure capital for such acquisitions.

Item 16; Resolution on amendment of the articles of association
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to amend the articles of association. A new section is proposed in the articles of association allowing the board of directors to collect powers of attorney in accordance with Chapter 7, section 4, second paragraph of the Swedish Companies Act and to resolve that the shareholders shall have the right to vote in advance. A new section is also proposed allowing the Board of Directors to resolve that persons who are not shareholders may participate at the shareholders’ meeting. Because of the insertion of two new sections (§ 10 and § 11), renumbering of sections is proposed, whereby the previous §§ 10 – 11 becomes §§ 12 – 13.

Proposed new § 10 Collecting of powers of attorneys and vote by post
The Board of Directors may collect powers of attorney in accordance with the procedure described in Chapter 7, section 4, second paragraph of the Companies Act (2005:551).

The Board of Directors has the right before a shareholders’ meeting to decide that shareholders shall be able to exercise their right to vote by post before the shareholders’ meeting. If the Board so decides, postal voting may be made by electronic means.

Proposed new § 11 Non-shareholders right to attend a shareholders’ meeting
The Board of Directors may resolve that persons not being shareholders of the company shall be entitled, on the conditions stipulated by the Board of Directors, to attend or in any other manner follow the discussions at a shareholders’ meeting.

The Board of Directors proposes that the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the CEO shall be authorized to make the minor adjustments in the above decisions that may prove necessary in connection with their registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB.

Shares and votes
The share capital of the company is SEK 1,076,545 consisting of a total of 19,377,810 common shares. Each common share entitles to one (1) vote at the meeting.

Majority requirements
Approval of the Board of Directors’ proposal according to items 16 and 17 requires that the Annual General Meeting’s resolution is supported by shareholders representing at least two thirds of the votes cast and shares represented at the Annual General Meeting.

Documents
Annual accounts, auditor’s report and complete proposals and other documents required in accordance with the Swedish Companies act will, no later than May 4, 2021, be made available at the Company’s headquarter, and at the company’s website https://nimbusgroup.se/en/. Copies of these documents as well as the notice will also be sent, free of charge, to those shareholders which demands it and states their postal address.
