Further information regarding the new proposed director
Name: Antonius Reiner Fromme
Education and background: Mr. Fromme is a graduate business engineer from the University of Karlsruhe and has been
employed with the freenet Group since 2009.
Born in Paderborn (05/20/1974), he commenced his career in mobile communications in 2001 with debitel AG in Stuttgart,
and can look back on many years of experience in the telecommunications sector.
Current Assignments: Antonius Fromme has been the Chief Customer Experience Officer (CCE) of freenet AG since 1 June
2018. In his function as member of the Executive Board, he is responsible for the direct customer activities in the
company's core business of mobile communications as well as all online and offline marketing activities. He is also
responsible for digitalization of all customer interactions and transactions. Furthermore, he is in charge of the
development of the digital lifestyle strategy and the digital lifestyle portfolio within the freenet Group.
Year of birth: 1974
Nationality: German
Direct or related person ownership in the Company: No. The proposed director is considered independent to the Company,
the management of the Company and the Company's major shareholders. The new composition of the board of directors will
therefore following the election fulfill the independency requirements stipulated in the Swedish Corporate Governance
Code.
Agenda item 9; Extraordinary resolution to increase and re-classify the Company's authorised share capital, including
the creation of a new class of shares (and consequent amendment to article 5 of the Memorandum of Association)
The Company's authorised share capital is currently set at EUR300,000,000 divided into 300,000,000 ordinary shares having
a nominal value of EUR1 per share. To ensure that the Company maintains a sufficient amount of authorised share capital
to allow it to raise the capital required to fund the further growth of its business (including through acquisitions),
the Board proposes that the Company's authorised share capital be increased by EUR20,000,000 to EUR320,000,000.
Additionally, in order to give the Company flexibility in the equity instruments which it can offer to investors, the
Board is proposing that (a) that the Company's current authorised (and issued) ordinary shares be re-classified as
Ordinary A Shares, retaining their current nominal value of one EUR1 each and (b) that the EUR20,000,000 increase in
authorised share capital be allocated to a new class of Ordinary B Shares, divided into 200,000,000 Ordinary B Shares
having a nominal value of EUR0.10 each;
The Board further proposes that:
(a) each Ordinary A Share shall have the right to (i) receive notice of, attend, speak, and vote at general meetings of
the Company and shall have 10 votes; (ii) the right to participate in a distribution of profits or assets of the
Company, including in a winding up of the Company, pro rata with all other shareholders of the Company based solely on
number of shares held and irrespective of the class and nominal value of shares held; and (iii) a repayment of capital
in a winding up of the Company;
(b) each Ordinary B Share shall have the right to (i) receive notice of, attend, speak, and vote at general meetings of
the Company and shall have 1 vote; (ii) the right to participate in a distribution of profits or assets of the Company,
including in a winding up of the Company, pro rata with all other shareholders of the Company based solely on number of
shares held and irrespective of the class and nominal value of shares held; and (iii) a repayment of capital in a
winding up of the Company; and
(c) save as otherwise provided above and as specifically set out in the Articles, all the shares in the Company shall
rank pari passu in all respects including, inter alia, in respect of dividend distributions.
The Board therefore proposes that the Adjourned Meeting adopts the following Extraordinary Resolutions:
1. That article 5.1 of the Company's memorandum of association be deleted and replaced in its entirety by the
following:
"The authorised share capital of the Company is three hundred and twenty million Euro (EUR320,000,000) divided into:
(a) three hundred million (300,000,000) Ordinary A Shares having a nominal value of one Euro (EUR1) each; and
