The company’s business name is AcadeMedia AB. The company is a public limited liability company (publ).
The company’s registered office shall be situated in Stockholm.
The company shall, directly or indirectly, act for an appropriate co-ordination and development of the business carried out in subsidiaries, and any other activities compatible therewith.
The number of shares shall be not less than 60,000,000 and not more than 240,000,000. The share capital shall be not less than SEK 60,000,000 and not more than SEK 240,000,000.
Two classes of shares may be issued, ordinary shares and Class C shares. The ordinary shares shall carry one vote each and the Class C shares shall carry one tenth vote each. Shares of either class may be issued up to an amount corresponding to the entire share capital.
Owners of Class C shares are not entitled to dividends. Upon the company’s liquidation, Class C shares carry equivalent right to the company’s assets as other shares, however not to an amount exceeding the quota value of the share.
If the company resolves to issue new ordinary shares and Class C shares, against payment other than contribution in kind, owners of ordinary shares and Class C shares shall enjoy preferential rights to subscribe for new shares of the same class pro rata to the number of shares previously held by them (primary preferential rights). Shares which are not subscribed for pursuant to the primary preferential rights shall be offered to all shareholders for subscription (subsidiary preferential rights). If the number of shares thus offered are not sufficient for the subscription on the basis of subsidiary preferential rights, the shares shall be allocated between the subscribers pro rata to the number of shares previously held and, to the extent such allocation cannot be effected, by the drawing of lots.
If the company resolves to issue new shares of either solely ordinary shares or Class C shares, against payment other than contribution in kind, all shareholders, irrespective of whether their shares are ordinary shares or Class C shares, have preferential rights to subscribe for new shares pro rata to the number of shares previously held by them.
What is set out above with regard to preferential rights shall apply mutatis mutandis in the event of issues of warrants and convertible debentures, and shall not limit the right to resolve upon an issue with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights.
In the event of a bonus issue, new shares of each class shall be issued pro rata to the number of shares of the same class previously issued. In connection therewith, the owners of existing shares of a certain class shall entitle the holder to new shares of the same class. This shall not entail any restrictions on the possibility of issuing new shares of a new class by means of a bonus issue, following the required amendment to the articles of association.
Reduction of share capital, which in any case shall not fall below the minimum share capital, may, upon the request of an owner of Class C shares and a resolution by the company’s board of directors or the general meeting, take place through redemption of Class C shares. A request from an owner of Class C shares shall be made in writing. When a resolution on reduction has been passed, an amount corresponding to the reduction amount shall be transferred to the company’s reserve fund, if required funds are available. The redemption amount per Class C share shall correspond to the quota value of such shares.
Following notice of the redemption resolution, holders of shares shall promptly receive payment for the shares, or, if authorization from the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Sw. Bolagsverket) or a court is required, following notice that the final decision has been registered.
