The Board of Directors proposes that no dividend is paid and that the loss for the year is carried forward.
Item 15 - Resolution to adopt guidelines for remuneration for the CEO and executive management
The Board of Directors proposes that guidelines for remuneration for the CEO and executive management should entail that remuneration to the executive management team shall be in accordance with markets standards to secure the Company's ability to attract and maintain competent leaders. The total remuneration for the executive management team shall consist of a fixed salary, long term incentives and other benefits, such as non-monetary benefits, as well as pensions and insurances.
Item 16 - Resolution to grant the Board of Directors the authority to issue new shares, whether applying or disapplying pre-emption rights for the company's shareholders
The Board of Directors proposes that the shareholders adopt a resolution at the Annual General Meeting granting the Board of Directors the authority, on one or more occasions, for the period until the end of the next Annual General Meeting, to issue new shares, either applying or disapplying shareholders' pre-emption rights.
If the Board of Directors resolves to issue new shares disapplying the shareholders' pre-emption rights, the reason for this must be to implement an acquisition agreement, or, alternatively, to procure capital for such acquisition.
The number of shares issued by virtue of the authority may not exceed an increase of ten (10) percent of the share capital based on the share capital of the company on the date of the Annual General Meeting 2018.
Item 17 - Resolution regarding a long-term incentive program, issue of warrants and transfer of share and/or warrants.
The board of directors of MAG Interactive AB (publ) proposes that the annual general meeting resolves on (A) a long-term incentive program (the "LTIP 2018"), (B) issuance of warrants and (C) transfer of shares and/or warrants, in accordance with the below.
Background and rationale
The board of directors considers it to be in the interest of the company and the shareholders that the executive management and other employees of the company are made part of the company's development by being offered employee stock options in a new incentive program. The reasons for the proposal are to contribute to the possibilities to retain and attract qualified personnel and to increase motivation for the executive management and other employees of the company by being involved in and working for a positive value increase of the company's shares during the period covered by the LTIP 2018. After implementation, the board of directors will evaluate the LTIP 2018 and if deemed beneficial for the company and the shareholders the board of directors intends to propose that the annual general meetings to be held in 2019 and 2020, respectively, resolve upon additional incentive programs, mainly in accordance with the proposal below.
In light of the terms and conditions, size of allotment and other circumstances, the board of directors considers the LTIP 2018, in accordance with the below, to be reasonable and advantageous for the company and its shareholders.
A. The Board of Director's proposal for implementation of the LTIP 2018
The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting of the company resolves to implement the LTIP 2018 in accordance with the following substantial guidelines:
In total, the LTIP 2018 shall consist of no more than 526,428 employee stock options, entitling to subscription for an equal number of shares, in accordance with the below.
Each employee stock option entitles the holder to acquire one (1) new share in the company against cash consideration at an exercise price of SEK 30. The exercise price and the number of shares that each employee stock option entitles to may be subject to recalculation in the event of a bonus issue, split, rights issue, etc., wherein the recalculation terms in the complete terms and conditions of the warrants shall be applied.
The LTIP 2018 shall be offered to the executive management and other employees in the company.
Notice of participation in the LTIP 2018 shall have been received by the company on 28 February 2019 at the latest, and the board of directors shall be entitled to extend this time period. The allotment of employee stock options to participants shall be made promptly after the expiration of the notification period.
The allotted employee stock options will be vested over a three-year period in accordance with the following:
a) 1/3 of the allotted employee stock options will be vested on 1 March 2020;
b) 1/3 of the allotted employee stock options will be vested on 1 March 2021; and
c) 1/3 of the allotted employee stock options will be vested on 1 March 2022.
Vesting is accelerated, under certain conditions, in case of a merger in which the company is absorbed by another company or in case of a public offer for all shares in the company.
Vesting requires that the participant is still employed by the company and that the employee has not terminated the employment as of the date when the relevant vesting occurs. If a participant ceases to be employed or terminates the employment before a vesting date, the already vested employee stock options can be exercised on the ordinary date of exercise in accordance with the below, but further vesting will not take place. However, if the employee's employment expires due to termination by the company for any other reason than scarcity of work (Sw. arbetsbrist) or termination by the company without a valid reason (Sw. utan saklig grund), also vested options will expire.
The employee stock options shall not constitute securities and shall not be able transferable or pledged.
The employee stock options shall be allotted without consideration.
The holders can exercise allotted and vested employee stock options during the period from and including 2 March 2022 up to and including 2 April 2022.
Regarding employees resident outside of Sweden, participation requires that such participation is in accordance with applicable laws, and that the board of directors, in its sole discretion, consider it to be possible with reasonable administrative and economic efforts.
The employee stock options shall be governed by separate agreements with each participant. The board of directors shall be responsible for the preparation and management of the LTIP 2018 within the above mentioned substantial terms.
B. The Board of Director's proposal for an issue of warrants
In order to enable the company's delivery of shares under the LTIP 2018, the board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to issue not more than 526,428 warrants, free of charge, to a wholly owned subsidiary of MAG Interactive AB (publ) (the "Subsidiary"). Each warrant entitles to subscription for one (1) share in MAG Interactive AB (publ) during the period from the registration of the warrants with the Swedish Companies Registration Office up to and including 15 May 2022 at an exercise price of SEK 30. If the warrants are exercised in full the share capital will increase by SEK 13,673.454636. The subscription for warrants shall be made no later than 15 March 2019. However, the board of directors shall be entitled to extend the subscription period. There can be no over-subscription.
C. The Board of Director's proposal for approval of transfer of shares and/or warrants
The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to approve that the Subsidiary may transfer shares to the participants in the LTIP 2018 in connection with exercise of the employee stock options in accordance with the terms set out in section A.
Dilution effect, market value, costs, etc.
The Board of Director's proposal to resolve on issuance of warrants entails a dilution effect corresponding to a maximum of approximately 1.96 percent of the shares and votes in the company if the proposed warrants are exercised in full. The dilution effect is calculated as the relation between the additional shares that the warrants will be exercised for and the sum of the current number of shares and the additional shares that the warrants will be exercised for. The LTIP 2018 is expected to have only marginal effects on the company's key ratios.
The employee stock options do not have a market value since they are not transferable. However, the board of directors has calculated a theoretical value of the employee stock options in accordance with the Black-Scholes formula. In accordance with this valuation, the value of the employee stock options in the LTIP 2018 is approximately SEK 3 per employee stock option.
The board of directors' opinion is that the LTIP 2018/2022 will trigger costs mainly related to administration and social security contributions.
The total costs for administration are estimated to amount to approximately SEK 200,000.
The total costs for social security contributions during the vesting period will depend on the number of employee stock options that will be vested and the value of the benefit that the participant will receive. When assuming that 100 percent of the employee stock options in the LTIP 2018 will be
vested and with an assumed share price of SEK 60 when the options are exercised, the total preliminary costs for social security contributions will amount to approximately SEK 5 million.
Previous incentive programs in MAG Interactive AB (publ)
The company currently has two ongoing warrant programs to key employees and other employees. These previously approved warrant programs are, together with the LTIP 2018, expected to entail a dilution of approximately 3.64 percent of the total number of shares outstanding if all outstanding and proposed warrants are exercised in full. The dilution effect is calculated as the relation between the additional shares that the warrants will be exercised for and the sum of the current number of shares and the additional shares that the warrants will be exercised for. The costs of the warrant programs are expected to amount to approximately SEK 600,000 in total. For a more detailed description of the company's other share related incentive programs, reference is made to the annual report for 2017/2018.
Preparation of the proposal
The proposal has been prepared by the board of directors together with external advisors.
