Item 1. Opening of the meeting and election of chairman of the meeting

The board of directors proposes that attorney Marcus Nivinger is elected chairman of the meeting.

Item 6. Resolution on approval of the board of directors’ resolution on a new issue of convertible bonds of series 2022:2

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to approve the board of directors’ resolution of 28 November 2022 to issue a convertible loan at a par value of not more than SEK 1,500,000 directed to Hans von Uthmann and Gulfstream Investment Group LCC (Bjarne Borg). The convertible holder can choose to have the loan repaid in cash at maturity or convert the loan into shares of the Company on 9 November 2023. Each convertible carries a par value of SEK 100,000.

The following terms and conditions shall apply to the issue of convertibles.

  1. The convertibles shall be issued and subscribed for at a price equal to 100 per cent of their principal amount.
  2. The right to subscribe for the convertibles shall with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights belong to Hans von Uthmann och Gulfstream Investment Group LCC.
  3. Before maturity the Company may repay the loan plus a premium of two (2.00) per cent of the nominal convertible loan amount. In addition, accrued interest shall be paid. The Company may carry out such early repayment each ninetieth day after 28 November 2022 (T), being the nearest banking day after T+90, T+180 and T+270. The notice period for such early repayment is 30 calendar days. In this event, the convertible holder has the right to choose shares in the Company instead of cash. Upon choosing shares, the convertible holder shall inform the Company of such choice not later than 10 banking days before the date of the early repayment.
  4. The convertible loan carries an annual interest rate of twelve (12.00) per cent from 28 November 2022 up until and including 23 November 2023, when it becomes due for payment and when the aggregate nominal amount for the outstanding convertibles shall be repaid in full to the extent that conversion or early repayment has not yet taken place. Interest shall be paid in connection with repayment of the loan on the due date or in connection with early repayment, whichever occurs earliest. Upon conversion, no interest is paid. To compensate for the fact that no interest is paid upon conversion, the conversion price shall be calculated in accordance with item 8 below.
  5. The convertible holder can choose to have the loan repaid in cash at maturity or convert the loan into shares in the Company on 9 November 2023. The convertible holder shall at the latest 14 calendar days before maturity inform the Company whether it want to have the loan repaid in cash or convert the loan into shares. Should the total loan amount be repaid in part at maturity, the repayment is to be distributed between the convertible holders on a pro-rata basis of the convertible holders’ respective total nominal amount of convertibles held.
  6. Subscription for the convertibles shall be made on a separate subscription list on 28 November 2022. Payment for the subscribed convertibles shall be made in cash no later than on 1 December 2022. The board of directors shall be entitled to extend the subscription period and the time of payment.
  7. Convertible holders are entitled to convert at 9 November 2023 all or part of the outstanding loan amount into new shares of the Company.
  8. The initial conversion price shall be calculated in accordance with the calculations below, provided that the conversion price shall be at least SEK 1.00 and not more than SEK 2.50. “VWAP” means the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market during 30 trading days preceding conversion. The total amount by which the share capital may be increased on account of the conversion of the convertibles shall amount to not more than SEK 16,800.

Conversion price
Period 1 (T+90): 100/(((1.12^(90/360)+0.02) x 100)/75 per cent of VWAP) =
Conversion price, period 1
 
Period 2 (T+180): 100/(((1.12^(180/360)+0.02) x 100)/75 per cent of VWAP) =
Conversion price, period 2
 
Period 3 (T+270): 100/(((1.12^(270/360)+0.02) x 100)/75 per cent of VWAP) =
Conversion price, period 3
 
Period 4 (T+360 (due date)): 100/(112/75 per cent of VWAP) =
Conversion price, period 4

  1. The terms and conditions for the convertibles include customary adjustment conditions in respect of the conversion price on the occurrence of certain corporate events (e.g. dividends, bonus issues and share issues).
  2. New shares issued upon conversion of the convertibles shall convey right to dividends for the first time on the first record date set for dividends after the registration of the new shares with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
  3. Any premium at conversion that exceeds the share's quotient value shall be allocated to the Company's unrestricted share premium reserve.
  4. The complete terms and conditions for the convertibles will be available on the Company’s website www.hexicon.dev8.qte.nu.

The purpose of the new issue and the reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights is that the Company has a strong need for additional working capital and due to the extended time period required to carry out a rights issue and the current market sentiment, it is the board's assessment that an issue with deviation from the shareholder's preferential rights is in the Company's and all shareholder's interest and therefore also justifies deviation from the main rule that new issues shall be carried out with preferential rights for the shareholders. The board of directors’ assessment is that the terms and conditions of the issue is in accordance with market conditions, since they have been determined through a negotiation at arm's length between the Company and the investors. During the negotiations a comparison was made with terms and conditions in other issues of convertibles. Further, the board of directors has taken into account general market conditions that make it difficult to raise capital, whereby the terms and conditions in an overall assessment are deemed to be in accordance with market conditions.

The CEO of the Company shall be authorized to make such minor formal adjustments to the issue resolution, which may be required for registration of such convertibles with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or Euroclear Sweden AB.
