Based on the decision of the Board of Directors the payment of convertible bond or other convertible debt instrument can be made either in cash, fully or partially by way of conversion of other debt of the Company into convertible bonds or other convertible debt instrument or in other values than cash, this including that the Company in connection with the issue of convertible bonds or other convertible debt instruments against consideration in convertible bonds or other convertible debt instruments takes over existing enterprises, activity or company or shares in other company (merger); that the company in connection with the issue of convertible bonds or other convertible debt instruments without consideration in convertible bonds or other convertible debt instruments accepts such other values. Sub clause 2. The Board of Directors is empowered to increase the share capital accordingly in case of conversion of the convertible bonds or other convertible debt instruments into share capital. The Board of Directors decides the terms of the convertible bond or other convertible debt instrument and the terms for subscription of shares by conversion of convertible bonds or other convertible debt instrument into share capital based on the authority delegated in this clause with the restriction that the following conditions shall apply to the subscription of said share capital: 1.
