The notification must state the shareholder’s name, personal identity number/registration number, shareholding, address, daytime telephone number and information about the attendance of any assistants (maximum two) and, if applicable, information about any proxies.

If a shareholder is represented by proxy, a written, dated proxy for the representative must be issued. A proxy form is available on the company’s website, www.xspraypharma.com. If the proxy is issued by a legal entity, a certificate of registration or equivalent certificate of authority should be enclosed.

  • be registered in the share register maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB on Tuesday 16 May 2023; and must also
  • give notice no later than on Friday 19 May 2023, by casting its advance vote in accordance with the instructions below so that the advance vote is received by the company no later than on that day.

A shareholder who wishes to participate in the extraordinary general meeting at the venue in person or represented by a proxy must give notice thereof in accordance with what is set out under ”Participation in the extraordinary general meeting at the venue” above. This means that a notification by advance vote is not sufficient for a person who wishes to participate at the venue.

A special form shall be used when voting in advance. The advance voting form is available on the company’s website www.xspraypharma.com. The completed and signed voting form must be received by the company no later than Friday 19 May 2023. The completed and signed voting form may be submitted by post to Xspray Pharma AB (publ), ”Extraordinary General Meeting”, Råsundavägen 12, SE-169 67 Solna, Sweden or via e-mail to generalmeeting@xspray.com. The shareholder may not provide special instructions or conditions in the voting form. If so, the vote (i.e. the advance vote in its entirety) is invalid. Further instructions and conditions are included in the form for advance voting.

If a shareholder votes by proxy, a written and dated proxy shall be enclosed to the advance voting form. A proxy form is available on the company’s website www.xspraypharma.com. If the shareholder is a legal entity, a certificate of registration or equivalent certificate of authority should be enclosed. If a shareholder has voted in advance and then attends the extraordinary general meeting in person or through a proxy, the advance vote is still valid except to the extent the shareholder participates in a voting procedure at the extraordinary general meeting or otherwise withdraws its casted advance vote. If the shareholder chooses to participate in a voting at the extraordinary general meeting, the vote cast will replace the advance vote with regard to the relevant item on the agenda.

Such registration may be temporary (so-called voting right registration) and is requested from the nominee in accordance with the nominee’s procedures and such time in advance as the nominee determines. Voting right registrations completed no later than the second banking day after Tuesday 16 May 2023 are taken into account when preparing the register of shareholders.

Proposed resolutions

Item 2 – Election of chairman of the meeting
The board of directors proposes that Dain Hård Nevonen, member of the Swedish Bar Association, shall be appointed chairman of the extraordinary general meeting or, in his absence, the person otherwise appointed by the board of directors.

Item 7 – Resolution to authorise the board of directors to issue new shares, warrants and/or convertibles with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights
The board of directors proposes that the extraordinary general meeting resolves to authorise the board of directors, at one or several occasions and for the period until the next annual general meeting, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, to increase the company’s share capital by issuing new shares, warrants and/or convertibles. Such share issue resolution may be made with or without provisions for contribution in kind or set-off or other conditions. The authorisation may only be utilised to the extent that the number of shares issued by virtue of the authorisation corresponds to not more than 20 per cent of the total number of shares outstanding at the time of the general meeting’s resolution on the proposed authorisation.

The purpose of the authorisation is to increase the financial flexibility of the company and the general flexibility of the board of directors. Should the board of directors resolve on share issue by virtue of the authorisation, the reason for this shall be to ensure the company’s continued development, finance an acquisition of operations, to procure capital to finance the development of projects or to potentially broaden the shareholder base. Such share issue shall be made at market terms and conditions.

The authorisation under this item 7 shall, as applicable, replace the authorisation for the board of directors to resolve on issuances of new shares with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights as proposed to the company’s annual general meeting on 16 May 2023.

The CEO is authorised to make such minor adjustments to this decision that may be necessary in connection with the registration.

Item 8 – Resolution to authorise the board of directors to issue new shares, warrants and/or convertibles without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights
The board of directors proposes that the extraordinary general meeting resolves to authorise the board of directors, at one or several occasions and for the period until the next annual general meeting, without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, to increase the company’s share capital by issuing new shares, warrants and/or convertibles. Such share issue resolution may be made with or without provisions for contribution in kind or set-off or other conditions.

The purpose of the authorisation is to increase the financial flexibility of the company and the general flexibility of the board of directors.

The CEO is authorised to make such minor adjustments to this decision that may be necessary in connection with the registration.
