Nomination Committee The General Meeting resolved that the Chairman of the Board of Directors shall be appointed as member of the Nomination Committee and shall be instructed to appoint, in consultation with the (by voting rights) major shareholders of the company as per September 1, 2007, another three members. The names of such members shall be published no later than six months before the Annual General Meeting 2008.

Resolution on guidelines for compensation for the executive management The General Meeting resolved to adopt guidelines for compensation for the executive management in accordance with the proposal by the Board of Directors. Authorization for the Board of Directors to issue shares and/or convertibles The General Meeting resolved to authorize the Board to issue shares and/or convertibles with or without deviation from the shareholders' pre-emption rights. The Board of Directors shall have the right to resolve that the shares and/or the convertibles shall be paid in kind or otherwise be subject to conditions referred to in Chapter 2 Section 5 second paragraph 1-3 and 5 of the Swedish Companies Act or that the shares and/or the convertibles shall be subscribed for with a right of set-off. The Board's resolutions may result in an increase of the number of shares in the company by not more than 8,800,000 shares in total. Adoption of a global employee stock option program and authorization for the Board of Directors to issue warrants with the right to subscribe for new shares in relation to the employee stock option program The General Meeting resolved to adopt a global employee stock option program, according to which employees of the group can be allocated, at no premium, in total not more than 1,000,000 employee stock options until the Annual General Meeting 2008. The exercise price for the options shall correspond to the higher of either (a) 110 per cent of the average of the last price paid for a share in Biotage as quoted on the Official List of the Stockholm Stock Exchange during the five trading days immediately preceding the date of allocation, and (b) 110 per cent of the last price paid on the date of allocation. The duration period shall be seven years from the date of allocation and the options vest after one to three years after the date of allocation, by one-third of the number of allocated options for each one-year period. Upon full exercise of all the employee stock options, the employees will acquire shares in the company corresponding to approximately 1.1 per cent of the share capital and votes based on the existing number of shares (after such exercise). In order to secure the proposed employee stock option program, the General Meeting resolved to authorize the Board to issue warrants with the right to subscribe for new shares in Biotage. In total, not more than 1,250,000 warrants may be issued, of which a total of not more than 250,000 warrants are intended to be used in order to cover the costs that may arise because of the employee stock option program. Each warrant shall entitle to subscription for one new share in Biotage. The right to subscribe for the warrants shall, with deviation from the shareholders' pre-emption rights, only vest with a bank, securities broker or similar, alternatively a wholly owned subsidiary to the company, appointed by the Board of Directors. Assuming that all warrants are exercised for subscription of new shares, the company's share capital will increase by SEK 1,250,000, which corresponds to a dilution of approximately 1.4 per cent of the share capital and votes based on the existing number of shares (after such exercise).
