Item 11 – Resolution on principles for the appointment of the nomination committee

The nomination committee proposes that the annual general meeting resolves on materially

unchanged principles for appointing the nomination committee, in accordance with the following.

The chairman of the board shall contact the three largest shareholders of the company in terms of

votes, according to Euroclear Sweden AB's share register on 30 September. Each such shareholder shall

be offered the opportunity to appoint a member who shall, together with the chairman of the Board,

form the nomination committee. If any of these shareholders renounce from its right to appoint a

representative, the right to appoint such representative shall pass to the largest shareholder in turn in

terms of votes which is not already entitled to be represented on the nomination committee. The

procedure shall continue until the nomination committee consists of three members, excluding the

chairman of the board, if this can be achieved after contacts with the ten largest shareholders and

shareholders with a shareholding of three percent or more, as applicable, after which the thereby

appointed members shall form the committee. The chairman of the nomination committee shall be

the member who represents the largest shareholder in terms of votes, unless the members agree

otherwise. The chairman of the board may not be chairman of the nomination committee.

The chairman of the board shall convene the nomination committee to its first meeting and shall, as a

part of the nomination committee's work, report to the nomination committee such circumstances

regarding the work of the board of directors and the need for special competences etc. that may be of

importance for the work of the nomination committee.

The composition of the nomination committee shall be announced as soon as the nomination

committee has been formed and in all events no later than six months before the next annual general

meeting. The members of the nomination committee are appointed for a term starting upon

announcement of the composition of the nomination committee and running until a new nomination

committee has been appointed.

In the event that the ownership structure of the company is changed after 30 September but before

announcement of the nomination committee's complete proposals, and if a shareholder that after this

change has become one of the three largest shareholders in the company in terms of votes makes a

request to the chairman of the nomination committee to be part of the nomination committee, this

shareholder shall have the right to appoint an additional member of the nomination committee. The

nomination committee may further resolve that a member who has become significantly smaller than

the third largest shareholder in the company in terms of votes shall resign from the nomination

committee, if deemed appropriate.

If a member of the nomination committee resigns during the term of office or otherwise is unable to

continue as member, the nomination committee shall request the shareholder that had appointed that

member to, within reasonable time, appoint a new member. If the shareholder renounces its right to

appoint a member, the right to appoint such new member shall pass to the largest shareholder in turn

in terms of votes which is not already represented on, or has renounced its right to appoint a member

to the nomination committee. Changes to the composition of the nomination committee shall be

announced as soon as they occur.

The nomination committee shall prepare proposals in respect of the following issues for the next

annual general meeting to resolve upon:

 chairman of the annual general meeting,

 members of the board of directors,

 chairman of the board of directors,

 remuneration to the board of directors, distributed between the chairman of the board of

directors and the other members of the board of directors,

 remuneration to the members of the remuneration committee and the audit committee, (if

applicable),

 election of auditor,

 remuneration to the auditor, and

 in so far as it seems appropriate, changes to the procedures in force for the nomination committee.

No remuneration shall be paid to members of the nomination committee.

These instructions shall remain in force until the annual general meeting resolves otherwise.

Item 7b – Allocation of the company’s profit or loss according to the adopted balance sheet

The board of directors proposes that no dividends shall be executed for the financial year 2018.

Item 12 – Resolution to authorise the board of directors to issue new shares

Main proposal (item 12a)

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to authorise the board of

directors, at one or several occasions and for the period until the next annual general meeting, to

increase the company’s share capital by issuing new shares. Such share issue resolution may be made

with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights and with or without provisions for

contribution in kind or set-off or other conditions. The authorisation may only be utilized to the extent

that it corresponds to a dilution of 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 a share issue with

deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, 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. Upon such deviation from

the shareholders’ preferential rights, the new issue shall be made at market terms and conditions.

The CEO is authorised to make such minor adjustments to this decision that may be necessary in

connection with the registration.

Alternative proposal (item 12b)

If the main proposal above does not meet the majority requirement at the annual general meeting,

the board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting authorises the board of directors to,

instead, issue new shares corresponding to a dilution of not more than 10 per cent of the total number

of shares outstanding at the time of the general meeting’s resolution on the proposed authorisation,

but on the same terms and conditions as stated in the main proposal above.

____________________

Majority requirements

A resolution in accordance with item 12a or 12b above requires approval of at least two thirds (2/3) of

the votes cast and the shares represented at the annual general meeting.

Other information

The shareholders are reminded of their right to require information in accordance with Chapter 7

Section 32 of the Swedish Companies Act. The annual report and the auditor’s report for the financial

year 2018, will be held available at the company’s office on Råsundavägen 12, SE-169 67 Solna,

Sweden, and on the company’s webpage www.xspraypharma.com, at least three weeks before the

meeting. Further, the nomination committee’s proposal and motivated statement will be available on

the address stated above as well as on the website stated above at least four weeks before the

meeting. Copies of the documents will be sent to the shareholders who so request and who inform the

company of their postal address. The company has its registered office in Solna.

About Xspray Pharma

Xspray Pharma AB (publ) is a product development company with several product candidates in clinical

development. Xspray Pharma uses its innovative patented RightSize technology to develop improved generic

versions of marketed drugs, primarily protein kinase inhibitors (PKIs) for the treatment of cancer. The segment

is the second-largest in the field of oncology and drug prices are high. Through its innovative technology, Xspray

Pharma’s strategy is, through outlicensing to an appropriate pharmaceutical company, to enter the market as

first competitor to the original drugs before the exclusivity from secondary patents expires. Three PKIs have been

identified as the initial product candidates (HyNap-Dasa, HyNap-Sora and HyNap-Nilo). Xspray Pharma’s goal is

to have up to seven products ready for launch in the US market, where the first product to launch in 2021 will be

HyNap-Dasa. The substance patents for Sprycel®(dasatinib)*, expire in 2020 and the secondary patents expire in

2026, which can give Xspray Pharma’s HyNap-Dasa a five-year period of special position before other competitors

get access to the market. The company has patented manufacturing technology, equipment and the resulting

products. The shares in Xspray Pharma are traded on Nasdaq First North Stockholm.
