The board of directors' proposal for a resolution on dividend of all shares in the Company's subsidiary containing the line of business Digital Pathology. (item 6)
The board of directors proposes that the extraordinary general meeting resolves that all shares in the company's wholly-owned Swedish subsidiary Inify Laboratories AB (under name change from Goldcup 100833 AB), reg.no 559345-4431, ("Inify Laboratories") containing ContextVision AB's current business segment Digital Pathology to be distributed to the shareholders in ContextVision AB, whereby one (1) share in ContextVision AB shall entitle to receipt of one (1) share in Inify Laboratories. The board of directors further proposes that the extraordinary general meeting authorises the board of directors to determine the record date for the right to receive the dividend.
The distribution of the shares in Inify Laboratories is expected to be made in accordance with the so-called Lex Asea rules. Lex Asea is a Swedish tax regulation. The provision implies, in brief, that the shares in a subsidiary under certain circumstances can be distributed without triggering any immediate taxation of the dividend for Swedish resident shareholders (instead, the tax basis for the shares in the parent company is allocated between the shares in the parent company and the received shares in the subsidiary).
Before the distribution is carried out, tangible assets, intangible assets, intellectual property rights and cash corresponding to an aggregate value of SEK 31,253,000 will be transferred from ContextVision AB to Inify Laboratories (the "Carve Out").
The value of the distribution of the shares in Inify Laboratories is determined based on the book value at the time of the distribution of the shares to ContextVision AB's shareholders by application of relevant accounting rules. ContextVision AB estimates the book value at the time of the distribution to be SEK 31,753,000, which hence is the total value that is proposed to be distributed to the shareholders.
According to the company's latest approved balance sheet, the company has SEK 30,955,000 in unrestricted equity. No previous resolution on value transfer has been made since the balance sheet was adopted and no alterations in the restricted equity have resulted in the available capital for dividends, pursuant to Chapter 17, Section 3, first paragraph of the Swedish Companies Act, to be limited. In connection with the Carve Out, the portion of ContextVision AB's fund for development costs relating to Digital Pathology, amounting to SEK 13,293,717, will be dissolved, implying that ContextVision AB's unrestricted equity will increase with the same amount. The board of directors therefore assesses that the proposed dividend falls within the available unrestricted equity. Following the distribution of ContextVision AB's shares in Inify Laboratories in accordance with the board of directors' proposal it is assessed, pursuant to Chapter 17, Section 3, first paragraph of the Swedish Companies Act, that the remaining available capital will amount to approximately SEK 12,495,717.
Following the execution of the dividend, a reverse stock split of the shares in Inify Laboratories will be carried out, whereby ten (10) shares in Inify Laboratories will be combined into one (1) share. The reverse stock split is conditional upon that one of Inify Laboratories' large shareholders will agree to contribute with shares to the shareholders whose holding of shares is not evenly divisible by ten (10), as well as to round down its remaining holding of shares in Inify Laboratories to the nearest number that is evenly divisible by ten (10). The reverse stock split is taking place in order to achieve an appropriate number of shares in Inify Laboratories. Following the reverse stock split the number of shares in Inify Laboratories will amount to 7,736,750.
The board of directors proposes that the board of directors, the CEO or any person they appoint shall have the right to make minor adjustments of the resolution above that are deemed necessary in conjunction with the registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and/or Euroclear Sweden AB and/or VPS, and otherwise to take necessary measures to implement the resolution.
In order for the resolution by the extraordinary general meeting in accordance with the board of directors’ proposal under item 6 above to be valid, shareholders representing more than fifty per cent of the votes cast must be in favour of the proposal or, in case of parity of votes, the chairman of the meeting being in favour of the proposal.
The number of shares and votes
The number of outstanding votes in the company at the time of this notice amounts to a total of 77,367,500 divided into a total of 77,367,500 shares. The company holds no own shares.
