Proposal of the Board of Directors for a resolution regarding an option programme for employees of Enea TekSci Inc. including issue of warrants and assignment of warrants (item 16)
The Annual General Meeting of the Company in 2003 resolved on athree-year option programme for employees of the Company's whollyowned U.S. subsidiary Enea TekSci, Inc. ("Enea TekSci"). The programmeis referred to below as Stock Option Plan 2003 or the programme.
Given that the Stock Option Plan 2003 expires on December 31,2006, the Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meetingresolves upon a new three-year option programme for the employees ofEnea TekSci, referred to below as Stock Option Plan 2006 or theprogramme. The proposal is closely connected with Stock Option Plan2003.
Under Stock Option Plan 2006 non-transferable options giving theright to acquire a combined total of 2,000,000 shares in the Companycould be allocated to current and future officers of the company andother employees of Enea TekSci for no payment. The initial allocationof a total of approximately 1,400,000 options is to be made to currentemployees and the remaining options, approximately 600,000, are to bereserved for allocation to new employees during the duration of theprogramme, to render possible for Enea TekSci to recruit on marketterms. In addition it will be possible to allocate options to newemployees during the duration of the programme as set out below.
An initial allocation of a maximum of 200,000 options per employeein the Senior Vice Presidents category shall be made, which includesthe Chief Executive Officer of Enea TekSci. There shall be a furtherinitial allocation of a maximum of 100,000 options to employees in theVice Presidents category. These two categories comprise a total ofapproximately 15 current employees and the total allocation to SeniorVice Presidents and Vice Presidents shall not initially exceed1,000,000 options. In addition there shall be an initial allocation ofa maximum of 50,000 per employee in the Senior Consultants categoryand of a maximum of 20,000 options to other employees allocation towhom is considered desirable in the light of the object of theprogramme and the prevailing market conditions. The last twocategories comprise a total of approximately 20 current employees andthe combined allocation categories shall not initially exceed 400,000options.
Under the terms of the options, the extent to which thoseallocated can be exercised by the holder shall be dependent on theemployment relationship persisting until the commencement of theredemption period. It shall be possible to allocate allocated optionsthat cannot be exercised as a result of the holder's employmentceasing before the commencement of the redemption period to newemployees of the company.
Subject to the above restriction, every allocated option shallentitle the holder to acquire one share in the Company during theperiod from June 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009 inclusive at aredemption price of 115 percent of the volume-weighted average quotedprice paid for Enea shares on the Stockholm Stock Exchange during theperiod from May 22, 2006 to May 26, 2006 inclusive. It shall bepossible to exercise the options earlier - 'premature redemption' - inthe event of the holder's employment ceasing before the commencementof the redemption period and the holder thereupon being entitled tosome extent to exercise allocated options, and in the event of amerger whereby the Company is merged into another company, or othersimilar event. The exercise price and the number of shares which eachoption entitle the holder to purchase shall be recalculated in theevent of a share split or reverse split, issue, etc. on the customaryterms.
A special options committee shall be formed to implement StockOption Plan 2006 in accordance with the above. The committee shallconsist of at least two persons and the Chief Executive Officer andFinance Manager of the Company shall be members of it.
As surety for Enea TekSci's undertakings under Stock Option Plan2006 on redemption of the options, it is proposed that 2,000,000warrants (the "Warrants") be issued to Enea TekSci, which companyshall be entitled to dispose over them and transfer them withoutpayment with the aim of fulfilling the undertakings under Stock OptionPlan 2006. The Warrants shall confer the right to subscribe for sharesat the price set out in the above terms for the options. As surety forEnea TekSci's undertakings under Stock Option Plan 2006 in respect ofthe opportunity for premature redemption, it shall be possible tosubscribe for shares using the Warrants during the period from August1, 2006 until December 31, 2009 inclusive. It shall be possible toincrease the share capital with not more than SEK 100,000 subjectalways to the increase that may be caused by recalculation resultingfrom new issues, etc.
There will be a combined total of not more than 2,000.000additional shares in the Company on full exercise of the options underStock Option Plan 2006, subject to such recalculation under the termsof the options as may arise as a consequence of a share split, reversesplit etc. Assuming full exercise, new shares will constituteapproximately 0.5 of the subscribed shares and votes taken after fullexercise of the options under Stock Option Plan 2003 and Stock OptionPlan 2006. On full exercise of the options under Stock Option Plan2003 and Stock Option Plan 2006, the number of new shares should beapproximately 1.3% of the subscribed shares and votes, taken afterfull exercise of the options under Stock Option Plan 2003 and StockOption Plan 2006. Stock Option Plan 2006 may incur costs for the Eneagroup in the form of social security charges on exercise andaccounting costs during the term of the options.
Given the North American market's importance to the Enea group,the competitive situation in that market and the existence of similarincentive programmes among the employers with whom Enea TekSci mainlycompetes for staff, the programme is considered to be important forrecruiting and retaining staff for the North American business andhence important for Enea TekSci's continued development. Taking thisinto account and having regarded the terms and scope of the programme,the Board of Directors considers the proposed programme to bereasonable and advantageous to Enea TekSci and hence to the Companyand its shareholders.
A resolution on the above lines requires the support ofshareholders with at least nine tenths of both the votes cast and theshares represented at the meeting.
Proposal of the Board of Directors for a resolution to authorize the Board of Directors to decide on new share issues for acquisitions of shares or businesses (item 17)
The Board of Directors proposes that, for the period until thenext Annual General Meeting, the Annual General Meeting authorizes theBoard of Directors to decide on one or more occasions on new shareissues, with deviation from the preferential rights of shareholdersand on issues in kind or other conditions as referred to in the firstparagraph of Chapter 13, Section 5 of the Swedish Companies Act, andon the conditions of the new share issue in other respects.
The issue price must, however, be established on market termscorresponding to maximum of 5% of the number of outstanding shares ason the day of this notice.
The reason for deviation from the preferential rights ofshareholders and the right to decide on issues in kind or otherconditions as referred to in the Swedish Companies Act is to enablethe Company to issue shares for acquisitions of shares or businesses.
The passing of a resolution in accordance with this item requiresthe support by shareholders comprising at least 2/3 of both the votescast and the shares represented at the Meeting.
This resolution replaces the previous resolution on authorizationpassed at the Annual General Meeting on May 19, 2005.
