other purposes resolved by the Board. Under the authorization, the Board may
issue new shares or shares held by the Company. The authorization includes the
right for the Board to resolve on all the terms and conditions of the issuance
of shares and special rights entitling to shares, including issuance of shares
or special rights in deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive rights within
the limits set by law. The authorization is effective until November 23, 2018
and it terminated the corresponding authorization granted by the Annual General
Meeting on June 16, 2016. The authorization did not terminate the authorization
