ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

Adopted at Extraordinary General Meeting on 31 October 2019

1 Business name    

The business name of the company is Midsona AB. The Company is a public company (publ).
 

2 Registered office of the company

The registered office of the Board of Directors is in Malmö.
 

3 Business activities

The company will, directly or through subsidiaries, develop and market health products, including medicinal products and biotechnical products, natural remedies and dietary supplements, consumer healthcare products, health foods and related products, and pursue business compatible therewith.
 

4 Share capital

The Company's share capital shall be not less than SEK 125 000 000 and not more than SEK 500 000 000.
 

5 Number of shares

The number of shares shall be not less than 25 000 000 and not more than 100 000 000.

Shares in the Company may be issued in two classes, class A and class B. Each class may be issued in an amount that corresponds to 100 % of the share capital. In voting at the Annual General Meeting, one A share gives entitlement to ten (10) votes and each B share to one (1) vote.

Should the Company decide to issue new shares of class A and class B through a cash or set-off issue, holders of class A and class B shares shall have pre-emptive rights to subscribe for new shares of the same class in proportion to the number of shares already held (primary pre-emptive right). Any shares not subscribed for on the basis of primary pre-emptive rights shall be offered to all shareholders for subscription (secondary pre-emptive right). If the number of shares offered in this manner is not sufficient for subscription on the basis of secondary pre-emptive rights, the shares shall be distributed among the subscribers in proportion to the number of shares already held or, to the extent that this is not possible, by lottery.

Should the Company decide to issue new shares of only class A or class B through a cash or set-off issue, all shareholders shall have pre-emptive rights to subscribe for new shares in proportion to the number of shares already held, regardless of whether their shares are of class A or class B.
The provision above on the pre-emptive rights of shareholders shall be correspondingly applicable in the issuing of warrants and convertibles.
The aforementioned pre-emptive rights shall in no way restrict the Company’s opportunities to decide on issues with waiver of the shareholders’ pre-emptive rights.
In the event that the share capital is increased through a bonus issue, new shares of each class shall be issued in such numbers that the proportional relationship between the respective share classes is preserved. Existing shares of a certain class shall thus carry entitlement to new shares of the same class. The aforementioned shall in no way restrict the Company’s opportunities, after making the requisite amendments to the Articles of Association, to issue shares of a new class through a bonus issue.
 

6 Board of Directors

The Board of Directors shall consist of between three and nine members elected by a General Meeting. No deputy members shall be appointed.
