Deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights shall be allowed in situations where a directed issue is deemed more appropriate for the Company due to timing, commercial or similar reasons, and in order to enable acquisitions.

5. Payment for transferred shares may be made in cash, through in-kind payment, or through set-off against claims with the Company.

The purpose of the authorizations is to give the board of directors greater scope to act and the opportunity to adapt and improve the Company’s capital structure and thereby create further shareholder value, and take advantage of any attractive acquisition opportunities. The board of directors shall have the right to resolve on other terms for repurchases and transfers of own shares in accordance with its authorization.
