Proposals for resolution

Item 7 – Approval of the board of directors’ resolution on a directed share issue

The board of directors proposes that the EGM approves the board of directors’ resolution of October 29, 2019 to issue a maximum of 9 257 143 new shares, entailing an increase in the share capital of not more than SEK 1 157 142,875 with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights under the following terms and conditions.

1. The right to subscribe for the new shares shall vest with Accendo Capital SICAV SIF ("Accendo Capital") and Hyundai Motor Company ("Hyundai"). Accendo Capital shall have the right to subscribe not more than 3 857 143 shares and Hyundai shall have the right to subscribe not more than 5 400 000 shares.

1. The reasons for the deviation from shareholders’ preferential subscription rights are to carry out the capital increase in a timely and cost-efficient manner and diversify the shareholder base with an industrial owner that is one of the world’s leading automotive companies. Further, existing shareholders are compensated for potential ownership dilution through the pricing of the directed share issue at a premium to the volume-weighted average share price. Therefore, the board of directors considers the directed share issue to be of benefit to the Company and its shareholders.

1. A subscription price of SEK 7.00 shall be paid for each subscribed share. The price corresponds to a 30 per cent premium to the Company’s volume-weighted average share price during the period October 7-11, 2019.

1. Subscription for the newly issued shares shall be made on a separate subscription list no later than on October 29, 2019. Payment for the shares subscribed shall be made through cash payment within 5 days from the date of the EGM's approval of the directed share issue decision to a bank account designated by the Company.

1. The board of directors shall be entitled to extend the subscription period and the time for payment under section 4.

1. The new shares shall entail the right to a dividend for the first time on the record day for dividend that is closest after the time that the directed share issue has been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and the shares are entered in the share register with Euroclear Sweden AB.

The CEO or any person appointed by the board of directors shall be authorised to make minor adjustments to the resolution above should it be required in conjunction with registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or Euroclear Sweden AB.

A resolution in accordance with item 7 requires that shareholders representing no less than two-thirds of the votes cast as well as the shares represented at the EGM approve the resolution.

Item 8 – Resolution of number of board members and election of new board member

The board of directors proposes that the board shall be increased from five members to six members and that Sukhwan Yun, nominated by Hyundai, is elected as a new member of the board of directors.

Sukhwan Yun is a Senior Manager in the Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) Team of Hyundai Motor Company. Previously, he was a Senior Research Engineer at Hyundai’s Fuel Cell Research Lab and was in charge of developing fuel cell electric vehicles (Tucson ix35 and NEXO). Dr. Yun earned B.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Chemical Engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago. His doctoral research focused on polymer electrolyte membranes for energy conversion in fuel cell and battery applications. As Senior Manager of CVC, Dr. Yun is responsible for sourcing and executing high-potential investments in the automotive and ancillary industries on behalf of Hyundai and its subsidiary companies. Dr. Yun currently has no corporate board assignments and owns no shares in Impact Coatings.

Item 9 – Resolution on remuneration to the board

Conditional on the EGM electing Sukhwan Yun as a new member of the board of directors in accordance with item 8 above, the board of directors proposes that Sukhwan Yun shall receive an annual remuneration of SEK 180 000 corresponding to the remuneration received by other members of the board of directors.

Available documents

The complete proposals, as well as other documents in accordance with the Swedish Companies Act, will be available on the company’s website www.impactcoatings.com and on the Company’s office at Westmansgatan 29G in Linköping, no later than two weeks prior to the EGM.
