Item 15. Resolution on an incentive programme and issuance of warrants to senior management and key employees (LTIP)

The board of directors in Maha Energy AB (publ) (the “Company”) proposes that the annual general meeting resolves on an incentive programme for senior management and certain key employees through issuance of warrants entitling to subscription of new shares of class A in the Company (“Shares”) as set forth below.

Background

The proposal to launch an incentive programme by the issuance of warrants is presented by the board of directors of the Company in order to strengthen the retention of employees with the company group and to motivate the employees to create shareholder value. The board of directors assess that these objectives are in line with all shareholders’ interests.

The programme encompasses employees employed by the Company and subsidiaries of the Company (together, the “Group”). Board members are not allowed to participate. Those entitled to participate in the incentive programme are hereinafter referred to as “Participants”.

Terms and conditions for the issue of warrants

  1. The Company shall issue not more than 460,000 warrants. Each warrant entitles to subscription of one (1) new Share, each with a quotient value of SEK 0.011.
  2. The warrants may, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, only be subscribed for by Maha Energy Inc (the “Subsidiary”), a subsidiary of the Company, after which the Subsidiary is to transfer the warrants to the Participants in accordance with the resolution adopted by the general meeting and instructions from the board of directors of the Company.  
  3. Subscription of warrants shall be made by the Subsidiary on a subscription list following the general meeting’s issue resolution, but no later than 1 June 2020. The board of directors of the Company shall be entitled to prolong the subscription period.
  4. The warrants shall be issued without consideration (i.e. free of charge) to the Subsidiary.
  5. If all issued warrants are subscribed for by the Subsidiary, transferred to and exercised by the Participants for subscription of new Shares, the Company’s share capital will increase with SEK 5,060 (subject to potential recalculations in accordance with standard terms and conditions applicable to the warrants).
  6. The warrants may be exercised for subscription of new Shares during the period from and including 1 June 2023 until and including 29 February 2024. Warrants that have not been exercised for subscription of new Shares by 29 February 2024 shall lapse.
  7. Each warrant shall entitle the warrant holder to subscribe for one new Share in the Company at a subscription price per Share (the “Exercise Price”) corresponding to 100% of the volume weighted average last closing price for the Company’s share on Nasdaq First North Growth Market during the period from and including 20 May 2020 until and including 27 May 2020. The Exercise Price thus calculated shall be rounded off to the nearest whole SEK 0.10, whereupon SEK 0.5 shall be rounded upwards. The Exercise Price may never be below the quotient value of the shares.
  8. The warrants are subject to customary recalculation conditions.

Allocation principles to be applied in relation to Participants

Warrants subscribed for by the Subsidiary shall be transferred to the Participants in accordance with instructions from the board of directors of the Company and the principles set forth below.

The transfers of warrants from the Subsidiary to the Participants are to be made without consideration (i.e. free of charge).

The Participants’ right to receive warrants shall be differentiated based on position, responsibility and work performance in the Group and the maximum allocation of warrants for each Participant is set forth in the following schedule:

Participant Country Maximum no. of
allocated warrants
VP Operations Canada 175,000
VP Exploration & Production Canada 30,000
CFO Canada 30,000
Other key employees (maximum of 15) USA, Brazil, Canada, Sweden 225,000
Total: 460,000

Allocated warrants may be exercised for subscription of new Shares in the Company during the period from and including 1 June 2023 until and including 29 February 2024. Subscription of new Shares may however not take place during so-called closed periods according to the EU Market Abuse Regulation, or otherwise in breach of relevant insider rules and regulations (including the Company’s internal guidelines in this respect).

Warrant agreement

All warrants will be governed by warrant agreements to be entered into between each Participant and the Subsidiary in connection with the transfer of warrants from the Subsidiary. The warrant agreement will include certain transfer restrictions and other terms and conditions customary for such agreements.

Reasons for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights

The reasons for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights is that the Company wishes to offer warrants to employees of the Group in order to strengthen the retention of employees and to motivate them to contribute to the creation of shareholder value.

Dilution, costs, etc.

Upon full subscription, transfer and exercise of all 460,000 issued warrants; a total of 460,000 new Shares will be issued in the Company (subject to potential recalculations in accordance with standard terms and conditions applicable to the warrants). This would lead to a dilution corresponding to approx. 0.5 per cent of the total share capital and number of votes in the Company (based on the share capital and number of shares in the Company registered as of the date of this proposal and calculated as the maximum amount of share capital and number of shares that may be issued, divided by the total share capital and the total number of shares in the Company after the proposed warrants to be issued have been exercised).

The incentive programme is expected to have a marginal effect on the Company's earnings per share. A preliminary estimate of the market value of the warrants is SEK 3.63 per warrant for the call period (as at 22 April 2020), assuming an underlying market value and exercise price of SEK 8.15 per share (as at 22 April 2020). The Black Scholes valuation model has been used for valuing the warrants and assumes a risk free interest of -0.27 percent and a volatility of 61.5 percent.

Costs related to the issuance of warrants under the incentive programme will be accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2 and recognized as an expense in the income statement during the vesting period. The preliminary estimate of total cost to be recorded during the term of the programme is SEK 1,670,628. Ongoing administration costs and other costs of the programme are minimal.

Outstanding incentive programmes

In addition, 2,000,000 warrants are outstanding under three (3) long term incentive program for employees and senior management of the Group, of which the first program comprises of 750,000 warrants (“Program One”), the second program comprises of 750,000 warrants (“Program Two”), and the third program comprises of 500,000 warrants (“Program Three”). Each warrant under the respective program entitles to subscribe for one new Share in the Company. The exercise price of the warrants corresponds to 100 per cent of the volume weighted average last closing price for the Company’s share on Nasdaq First North Growth Market during the period from and including (i) 12 June 2017 until and including 15 June 2017 for Program One, (ii) 24 May 2018 until and including 29 May 2018 for Program Two, and (iii) 17 May 2019 until and including 23 May 2019 for Program Three. The warrants may be exercised from and including (i) 1 June 2020 until and including 31 December 2020 for Program One, (ii) 1 May 2021 until and including 30 November 2021 for Program Two, and 1 June 2022 until and including 28 February 2023 for Program Three.

Approval of transfer of warrants from the Subsidiary to Participants

A resolution to issue warrants in accordance with this proposal also includes an approval of the transfers of warrants from the Subsidiary to the Participants.   

Majority requirements

This proposal to adopt the incentive programme and to issue warrants, as well as the approval of the transfers of warrants from the Subsidiary to the Participants, is governed by the provisions in Chapter 16 of the Swedish Companies Act (Sw. Aktiebolagslagen (2005:551)), and a valid resolution therefore requires that the proposal is supported by shareholders representing at least nine-tenths (9/10) of the votes cast as well as of all shares represented at the meeting.

Miscellaneous

The chairman of the board of directors, the managing director or a person appointed by the board of directors shall be authorised to make any minor adjustments required to register the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

Item 16. Resolution regarding authorization for the board of directors to increase the share capital

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves on an authorization for the board of directors to – for the period up to the next annual general meeting and at one or more occasions – resolve upon issuance of new shares, warrants and/or convertible debentures. Payment may be made in cash, in kind, through set-off of claims or otherwise be conditional. The company’s share capital may by support of the authorization be increased by an amount corresponding to 20 per cent of the share capital and number of shares in the company as of on the date the board of directors make use of the authorization. Deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights shall be allowed in situations where a directed issue is deemed more appropriate for the company due to timing, commercial or similar reasons, and in order to enable acquisitions. The chairman of the board of directors, the managing director, or anyone authorized by the board of directors, shall have the right to make any minor adjustments required in order to register this resolution.

Majority requirements

Item 17. Resolution on changes to the prerequisites for participating in shareholders’ meetings in the articles of association

The following change to the articles of association is proposed by reason of the right to participate at the general meeting being regulated by the Swedish Companies Act (2005: 551) and therefore does not need to be part of the articles of association, and that an expected legislative change in 2020 will lead to the current wording being contrary to law. The board of directors proposes to change the prerequisites for participating in shareholders’ meetings in the articles of association (§ 12), whereby the following wording in § 12, second paragraph is changed: “Shareholders wishing to participate in shareholders’ meetings must be listed as shareholder in a printout or other presentation of the entire share register reflecting the circumstances five weekdays before the shareholders’ meeting and notify the company no later than the date specified in the notice of the shareholders’ meeting. The last mentioned date may not be a Sunday, other public holiday, Saturday, Midsummer’s Eve, Christmas Eve or New Year’s Eve and may not occur earlier than the fifth weekday before the shareholders’ meeting. A shareholder may be accompanied by advisors at a shareholders’ meeting only if he or she notifies the company of the number of advisors in accordance with the procedure prescribed for in respect of notice of attendance to be made by a shareholder.” It is proposed that said provision is changed to the following new wording: “Shareholders wishing to participate in shareholders’ meetings must notify the company no later than the date specified in the notice of the shareholders’ meeting. A shareholder may be accompanied by advisors at a shareholders’ meeting only if he or she notifies the company of the number of advisors in accordance with the procedure prescribed for in respect of notice of attendance to be made by a shareholder.”

The chairman of the board of directors, the managing director or a person appointed by the board of directors shall be authorized to make any minor adjustments required to register the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

Majority requirements

For a valid decision on the proposal on to change the articles of association, as outlined above, requires that the proposal is supported by shareholders representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.

Item 18. Resolution on changes to the articles of association (removal of share classes C1 and C2)

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to change the articles of association, with the effect that the company will, after the registration of the new articles of association, only have two types of shares, series A and B. The articles of association in their proposed new version are set out in the board’s complete proposal.

The chairman of the board of directors, the managing director or a person appointed by the board of directors shall be authorised to make any minor adjustments required to register the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

Majority requirements

For a valid decision on the proposal on to change the articles of association, as outlined above, requires that the proposal is supported by shareholders representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.
