The warrant plan comprises a maximum of 575,000 warrants (each warrant entitles to subscription of one new share in MIPS at a subscription price corresponding to 130 percent of the average volume-weighted price paid for the MIPS share on Nasdaq Stockholm during the period from and including 8 May 2020 up to and including 14 May 2020) and essentially retains a similar structure as the warrant plans adopted 2017.
 
Performance share plan, authorisation for the Board to resolve upon acquisition of own shares, transfer of acquired shares to the participants, and authorisation for the Board to resolve upon transfer of acquired shares on Nasdaq Stockholm
The Meeting resolved, in accordance with the Board's proposal, to adopt a long term performance share plan for employees in MIPS, LTIP 2020, which comprises all employees within the MIPS group except for the employees who are offered to participate in the Warrant plan 2020/2023 (in total 42 persons).
 
Participation in the plan[1] requires a personal investment and the participants may as a maximum invest in a number of shares with a value corresponding to the participant's monthly salary in April 2020 before taxes, assuming a share price of SEK 211.43. Each investment share entitles to one share right and each share right entitles the holder to receive one share in MIPS, subject to the following conditions being fulfilled; (i) that the participant remains employed within the MIPS group until, and including, the day on which MIPS' interim report for the first quarter of 2023 is announced, (ii) that the participant has kept all of its investment shares, and (iii) that the performance target is fulfilled. The performance target is achieved if the annual average total shareholder return (TSR) on MIPS' share amounts to 10 percent or more during the measurement period (March 2020 – March 2023). Allocation of shares shall normally take place within two weeks after announcement of MIPS' interim report for the first quarter of 2023. As a maximum, 7,000 shares in MIPS can be allocated under LTIP 2020.
 
The Meeting further resolved to (i) authorise the Board to resolve upon acquisition of own shares to ensure that MIPS can deliver shares under LTIP 2020, (ii) to transfer shares which MIPS acquires by use of the authorisation to acquire own shares to the participants, and (iii) to authorise the Board to resolve upon transfers of acquired shares on Nasdaq Stockholm.
 
Amendments to the Articles of Association
The Meeting resolved, in accordance with the Board's proposal, to amend article 1 in the Articles of Association so that “firma” is replaced with “företagsnamn”, and article 9 of the Articles of Association so that the article only sets forth the requirement of notification of attendance to a general meeting.
 
Inaugural Board meeting
At an inaugural Board meeting held in connection with the Annual General Meeting, Pär Arvidsson and Jenny Rosberg were elected as members of the Audit Committee with Pär Arvidsson as Chairman of the committee. Magnus Welander and Jonas Rahmn were elected members of the Remuneration Committee with Magnus Welander as Chairman of the committee.
