9. In the event all units in the rights issue are not subscribed for with the support of unit rights, the board of directors shall, within the maximum amount of the rights issue, resolve on the allotment of units subscribed for without the support of unit rights. In case of over-subscription, allotment shall be made in according to the following principles:
   i.  Firstly, allocation shall be made to those who subscribed for units with the support of unit rights, regardless of whether the subscriber was a shareholder on the record date or not, and, in case of oversubscription, in relation to the number of unit rights that each party has exercised for the subscription of units, and, if this is not possible, by drawing lots.
   ii.  Secondly, allocation shall be made to other subscribers who subscribed to Units without the support of unit rights, and, in case of oversubscription, in relation to the subscribed amount, and, if this is not possible, by drawing lots.
   iii.  Thirdly, allocation of any remaining Units shall be made to guarantors in accordance with signed guarantee commitments. In the event that allotment cannot be made in full, allotment shall be made in proportion to the amount guaranteed by each guarantor and, if this is not possible, by drawing lots.

The board of directors, the CEO, or anyone appointed by the board of directors or the CEO, shall be authorized to make such minor amendments to the above resolution as may be necessary in connection with the registration of the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or Euroclear Sweden AB or due to other formal requirements.

A resolution in accordance with this item 8 is conditional on that the general meeting also resolves in accordance with items 7 and 9.

Item 9 - Resolution to approve of the board of directors' resolution on a directed issue of units

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to approve the board of directors' resolution, taken on 12 November 2024, on a new issue of a maximum of 50,008,872 shares, entailing a maximum increase of the share capital of SEK 2,500,443.60, and a new issue of a maximum of 50,008,872 warrants of series TO 3 entitling subscription of 50,008,872 shares in the Company, whereby the share capital may increase by an additional maximum of SEK 2,500,443.60 if all issued warrants of series TO 3 are exercised. In total, the share capital may increase by a maximum of SEK 5,000,887.20.

The issues shall be treated as one resolution and be carried out through the issuance of so-called units. One (1) unit consists of three (3) new shares and three (3) warrants of series TO 3.

Otherwise, the following conditions shall apply.

1. The right to subscribe for units shall, with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, vest with Maria Anderkvist, Praktikerinvest AB, Victor Anderkvist, Haga Gruppen Holding AB, Kåre Gilstring, Ulf Andersson, Johan Gyllenswärd AB, Sven Holmgren, Max Leitgeb, Opthron Förvaltning Aktiebolag, Klimage AB, MLJK Konsult AB and Irene Kotschy. Oversubscription may not occur.  
2. The Company's board of directors has made an overall evaluation and carefully considered raising the necessary capital only through a rights issue, but has made the assessment that, for several reasons, it is more favorable for the Company and the shareholders to partially raise capital in the capital raising through a directed issue. Among other things, the directed issue reduces the need for guarantee commitments in the rights issue and thus also the fee to guarantors. The directed issue also contributes to strengthening the shareholder base in the Company with professional investors, which is considered positive in a long-term perspective. Since the subscription price in the directed issue was determined by the board of directors based on arms-length discussions with investors at a price corresponding to the closing price of the Company's share on Nasdaq First North Growth Market on 11 November 2024, it is the board of directors' assessment that the subscription price in the directed issue therefore reflects current market conditions and demand. Conclusively, the directed issue is deemed to be in the interest of the Company and all shareholders.
3. The subscription price for each unit is SEK 1.35, corresponding to a subscription price of SEK 0.45 per share. The amount that exceeds the share's quota value shall be transferred to the unrestricted premium reserve. Warrants of series TO 3 are issued free of charge. The subscription price has been determined based on an assessment of the current market situation, the historical development of the business and the Company's business prospects.
4. Subscription and payment of units shall be made no later than on 20 December 2024. The board of directors shall have the right to extend the time for subscription and payment.
5. One (1) warrant of series TO 3 gives the holder the right to subscribe for one (1) new share in the Company against a cash payment amounting to 80 percent of the volume-weighted average price of the Company's share on Nasdaq First North Growth Market during the measurement period from and including 10 November 2025 until and including 21 November 2025, however, not less than SEK 0.45 and not more than SEK 0.75 per share. The amount that exceeds the quota value of the share shall be transferred to the unrestricted premium reserve. Warrants of series TO 3 may be exercised during the period from and including 24 November 2025 until and including 5 December 2025.
6. The full terms and conditions for the warrants of series TO 3 are available on the Company's website, https://scibase.com/.
7. The new shares issued in the directed issue shall carry a right to dividends commencing on the first record date that occurs after the registration of the shares with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and the entry of the shares in the share register kept by Euroclear Sweden AB. Shares issued as a result of exercise of warrants of series TO 3 shall carry a right to dividends commencing on the first record date that occurs after the interim registration of the shares in the share register kept by Euroclear Sweden AB.

The board of directors, the CEO, or anyone appointed by the board of directors or the CEO, shall be authorized to make such minor amendments to the above resolution as may be necessary in connection with the registration of the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or Euroclear Sweden AB or due to other formal requirements.

A resolution in accordance with this item 9 is conditional upon that the meeting also resolves in accordance with items 7 and 8. A valid resolution requires that the resolution is supported by shareholders representing at least two thirds of the votes cast as well as of the shares represented at the extraordinary general meeting.
