PROPOSED AGENDA At the extraordinary general meeting the following items shall be considered: 1. Opening of the meeting. 2. Appointment of chairman of the meeting. 3.

Resolution to, with deviation from the shareholders preferential rights, issue shares and warrants (units) against set-off payment. 9. Closing of the meeting. PROPOSED RESOLUTIONS The general meeting is convened due to the Board s proposal to issue shares and warrants (units) against set-off payment to Kvalitena AB and companies under the control of Kristian Lundkvist and Petter Hagland, respectively, together the Creditors. The proceeds from the rights issue against set-off payment are intended to be used to completely re-pay the debt under the loan agreements with the Creditors (the Loan Agreements ). The reason for deviating from the shareholders preferential rights is that, given the Company s financial situation and the Loan Agreement, it is detrimental to the Company to decrease its debt in this manner. Furthermore, the Company avoids interest expenses under the Loan Agreements which is beneficial to the Company in both operational and strategic terms. It is noted that Petter Hagland is a member of the Board. Petter Hagland has not participated in the Board s preparation of the rights issue. Furthermore, it is noted Petter Hagland intends to take measures to avoid putting forward a mandatory bid as a result of completion of the rights issue. Item 7 Resolution to adopt new articles of association The Board proposes that the general meeting resolves to adopt new articles of association, whereby the lowest number of outstanding shares in the Company shall be 239,292,636 and the highest number of outstanding shares shall be 957,170,544 and the lowest permitted share capital shall be SEK 23,929, and the highest permitted share capital shall be SEK 95,717,

3 Item 8 Resolution to, with deviation from the shareholders preferential rights, issue shares and warrants (units) against set-off payment The Board proposes that the general meeting resolves to issue units consisting of shares and warrants against set-off payment. The new shares and the new warrants shall be issued in units, each unit consists of one (1) share and one (1) warrant. The warrants are issued free of charge. A. The size of the rights issue Issue of up to 137,997,688 units. The share capital may be increased by up to SEK 13,799, and the number of shares may be increased by up to 137,997,688 shares. Should all warrants be exercised, the share capital may be increased with additional SEK 13,799, and subsequently the amount of shares will increase with additional 137,997,688 shares. All amounts are subject to the size of debt available for set-off which, to a large extent, is in USD. The size of the debt is based on the Board s estimated SEK/USD exchange rate on the date occurring two days prior to the date of the resolution by the general meeting. The final amount of the debt to be used as set-off payment and, consequently, the number of units to be issued, shall be calculated by application of the SEK/USD exchange rate as determined by Sweden s Central Bank (Sw. Riksbanken) on the date occurring two days prior to the date of the resolution by the general meeting. However, the maximum number of units may not exceed what is set out above. B. Subscription price The subscription price is SEK 0.65 per unit of which SEK 0.65 will be attributable to each share. The warrants are issued free of charge. Subscription may only be made in units and thus not shares and warrants individually. Allotment may only be made in units. However, the shares and the warrants will be separated following completion of the share issue. The share premium shall be transferred to the share premium account. C. The warrants Each warrant entitles its holder to subscribe for one (1) share in the Company at a subscription price of SEK 0.75 during the period from the date of subscription up to and including 30 august D. Persons entitled to subscribe The right to subscribe for all units shall, with deviation from the shareholders preferential right, be directed at the Creditors. The reason for deviation from the shareholders preferential rights is that it is important that the Company reduces its level of debt given the Company s financial situation and the Loan Agreements. According to the Board s assessment, the remuneration is in line with the market price, taking into account the Loan Agreement, that the Company s level of debt decreases as a consequence of the rights issue and that the rights issue is beneficial to the Company.

4 E. Subscription and payment Subscription of units shall take place no later than five (5) business days following the general meeting s resolution. The subscription price will be paid by way of set-off payment of the Company s payment obligations towards the Creditors. The Company s payment obligations are, to a large extent, in USD and the total amount is approximately SEK 89,698,497, based on the Board s estimated SEK/USD exchange rate on the date occurring two days prior to the date of the resolution by the general meeting. The final amount of the debt to be used as set-off payment shall be calculated by application of the SEK/USD exchange rate as determined by Sweden s Central Bank (Sw. Riksbanken) on the date occurring two days prior to the date of the resolution by the general meeting.
