The authorisation also includes the right to issue special rights, in the

to the Company's new shares or the Company's own shares held by the Company
against consideration.
The amount of shares to be issued shall not exceed 2,172,396 shares, which

Act. The Board can use the authorisation in one or several tranches to all
purposes decided by the Board of Directors.
