Account of events and cancellation of the invitation to the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders published on 25 January 2017

After the publication of the invitation to the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders published on 25 January 2017 at 9:00 am, it has come to the attention of the Board of Directors of Nexstim that the Board of Directors has in error exceeded the authorisations regarding share issuances and issuances of special rights to shares granted by the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of Nexstim held on 18 August 2016.

The Transaction entered into with Bracknor and Sitra has created extensive obligations for Nexstim to issue shares and special rights entitling to shares under the Transaction. In order to fulfil these obligations, the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on 18 August 2016 resolved to authorise the Board of Directors to resolve by one or several resolutions on:

  1. issues of shares to Nexstim itself without payment (up to 15,000,000 shares);

  2. issues of shares (up to 15,000,000 shares); and

  3. issues of special rights entitling to shares referred to in Chapter 10 of the Finnish Companies Act (up to 18,000,000 shares).

In addition to the above, the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on 31 March 2016 had authorised the Board of Directors to resolve on issuances of shares and special rights entitling to shares in the maximum amount of 1,201,613 shares. Immediately prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on 18 August 2016, a total number of 299,743 shares remained of this authorisation.

After the resolutions of the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on 18 August 2016, the Board has in error exceeded its authorisations by issuing altogether 48,901,870 shares to Bracknor and Sitra instead of the authorised maximum number of 33,299,743. Of this authorised maximum number, 15,000,000 have been authorised as directed shares issues, 18,000,000 as special rights entitling to shares and 299,743 as directed share issues or special rights entitling to shares. Thus, a total of 15,602,127 shares have been issued without proper authorisation.

Furthermore and in relation to the above, also the authorised number of special rights entitling to shares has been exceeded. The Board has in error issued to Bracknor and Sitra without proper authorisation special rights entitling to a total number of 31,167,761 shares in Nexstim. These special rights entitling to shares, however, have not yet been converted into shares.
