Bong has previously announced the agreement in principle made with the company’s
two main lending banks regarding repurchase of the banks’ claims on Bong in
order to significantly reduce and change the nature of Bong’s indebtedness (the
“Transaction”). Certain prerequisites for the Transaction were to implement a
bond issue and to convert all convertible bonds under series 2013/2018. The
final implementation of the bond issue and the conversion of the convertible
bonds were subject to resolutions by the extraordinary general meeting in
accordance with the Board’s proposals on amendment of the terms and conditions
for the convertible bonds, a reduction of the company’s share capital, a set-off
issue, a directed share issue and a directed issue of subscription warrants. The
extraordinary general meeting has now passed the following resolutions in
accordance with the proposals from the Board.

Amendment of terms and conditions for convertible bonds
The meeting resolved in accordance with the Board’s proposal on the amendment of
the terms and conditions for convertible bonds under series 2013/2018 in order
to enable Bong, and the convertible bond holders, to convert, at any time, all
convertible bonds into shares in Bong at a conversion price of SEK 2.75 per
share. Upon registration of the amendment of the terms and conditions with the
Swedish Companies Registration Office (Sw. Bolagsverket), Bong intends to
convert the aggregate outstanding nominal amount of SEK 75,000,000 into
27,272,727 shares in Bong.

Reduction of the share capital
The meeting resolved in accordance with the Board’s proposal to reduce Bong’s
share capital by SEK 59,530,650, without a share reduction, for allocation to
non-restricted equity. After the reduction of the share capital the quota value
of each share will be SEK 1.12. The Company’s share capital and equity will be
restored by the implementation of the set-off issue and the conversion of the
convertible bonds.

Set-off issue
The meeting resolved in accordance with the Board’s proposal to issue not more
than 27,272,727 new shares at a subscription price of SEK 1.50 per share by way

by setting off part of the banks’ claim on Bong, in total SEK 40,909,090.50.

Directed share issue
The meeting resolved in accordance with the Board’s proposal to issue not more
than 19,999,975 new shares at a subscription price of SEK 1.00 per share. The
right to subscribe for 10,000,000 shares shall accrue to Bong’s main lending
banks in equal parts and the right to subscribe for 9,999,975 shares shall
accrue to ABG Sundal Collier AB on behalf of the convertible bond holders.
Subscription may take place between 28 January 2016 and 28 April 2016.

Issue of subscription warrants
