The convertible bonds shall be either A convertible bonds (convertible bonds of series A), which can be converted into A shares, or B convertible bonds (convertible bonds of series B), which can be converted into B shares. The nominal amount of the convertible bonds shall be SEK 20. 2. Elekta’s shareholders shall have the pre-emptive right to subscribe for new convertible bonds in relation to the number of shares they already own (primary preferential right to subscribe for convertible bonds), where holdings of A shares entitle the holder to subscribe for A convertible bonds, and holdings of B shares entitle the holder to subscribe for B convertible bonds. Convertible bonds that are not subscribed for by exercising the primary preferential right to subscribe for convertible bonds shall be offered to all shareholders (subsidiary preferential right to subscribe for convertible bonds). If the convertible bonds offered in this manner do not sufficiently cover the subscription with the subsidiary preferential right to subscribe for convertible bonds, the convertible bonds shall be allotted between subscribers pro rata in relation to the number of shares they already own in the company. To the extent this is not possible, the allotment shall be made by a lottery conducted by a notary public. If a subscription right is sold, the subsidiary preferential right to subscribe for convertible bonds is transferred to the new holder of the subscription right. 3. In the event all convertible bonds are not subscribed for by utilising the primary or subsidiary preferential right to subscribe for convertible bonds, the Board of Directors will decide on, within the maximum amount of the issue, allotment of convertible bonds subscribed for without preferential right in accordance with the following. Allotment shall be made to those others who have subscribed for convertible bonds, and who reasonably can be accepted by the company in consultation with the company’s financial advisors. If the convertible bonds offered in this manner do not sufficiently cover the subscription, the convertible bonds shall be allotted pro rata in proportion to the number of convertible bonds that each subscriber has subscribed for. To the extent this is not possible, the allotment shall be made by a lottery. 4. Subscription of convertible bonds shall be made during the period from and including April 11, 2012, up to and including April 25, 2012. Subscription of convertible bonds using subscription rights shall be made by cash payment. Subscription of convertible bonds not using subscription rights shall be made on a separate subscription list and payment for such subscribed and allotted convertible bonds shall be paid in cash no later than three business days after the transaction note has been sent to the subscriber. The Board of Directors shall be entitled to extend the subscription and payment period. 5. In accordance with the terms and conditions of Elekta’s warrants 2007/2012 and warrants 2008/2012, the date before which the warrants must be exercised in order for shares, subscribed for by exercising the warrants, to be entitled to participate in the issue of convertible bonds with preferential rights for the Company’s shareholders, is set out to March 16, 2012. Should the warrants not be exercised before March 16, 2012, the warrants will be recalculated in accordance with the terms and conditions for the warrants. 6. The record date for receiving subscription rights shall be April 5, 2012. 7. The Board of Directors is authorized to, no later than March 30, 2012 decide on the loan amount, the price to be paid for each convertible bond, interest rate, conversion price, and all other special conditions related to the loan which the company raises by the rights issue. The amount by which the share capital may be increased if the convertible bonds are converted in full will follow from the loan amount and the conversion price. The amount to be paid for each convertible bond and other terms and conditions shall be the same for each A convertible bond as for each B convertible bond. 8. Conversion may be requested by the holder and by the company, respectively, in accordance with the terms and conditions for the convertible bond. 9. The new shares entitle to dividend for the first time on the record date for dividend which occurs immediately after the new shares have been finally registered by the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Sw. Bolagsverket). According to the Articles of Association, A shares are subject to pre-emption obligation (Sw. hembud) and there is a possibility to convert A shares into B shares. 10. The Convertible Bonds constitute unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the Company. Bondholders may request conversion of the convertible bonds into shares at any time until four weeks prior to the maturity date for the convertible bonds during spring 2017. The Company may, at its sole discretion, convert all convertible bonds into shares as from spring 2015, if the average closing price of the Company’s B share at NASDAQ OMX Stockholm during a certain number of days at such time would exceed the then applicable conversion price of the convertible bonds by a certain percent. Adjustment of the conversion price may be made in certain circumstances in accordance with customary re-calculation provisions. 11. The Board of Directors or the President and CEO or any person appointed by the Board of Directors or the President and CEO is authorized to make such minor adjustments to the resolution as may be required in connection with its registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or Euroclear Sweden AB.
