Articles of Association

1 § NAME

The company’s business name is Catella AB. The company is a public company (publ).

2 § REGISTERED OFFICE

The registered office is located in Stockholm municipality, Stockholm County.

3 § OBJECTS

The company shall own and manage shares and participations in companies engaged in business administration, real estate or financial consultancy, securities operations, or fund operations, directly or indirectly acquire, manage, develop and sell real property, and to engage in activities compatible with the foregoing. The company shall further manage securities, handle group-wide tasks and carry out the above-mentioned compatible activities.

4 § SHARE CAPITAL AND SHARES

The share capital shall be not less than eighty million kronor (SEK 80,000,000) and not more than three hundred and twenty million kronor (SEK 320,000,000). There shall be no fewer than forty million (40,000,000) shares and no more than one hundred and sixty million (160,000,000) shares.

Shares may be issued in two classes: not more than one hundred and sixty million (160,000,000) class A shares, carrying five (5) votes per share, and not more than one hundred and sixty million (160,000,000) class B shares, carrying one (1) vote per share.

In the event the company decides to issue new shares of two classes (class A and class B) through a cash issue or a set-off issue, holders of class A and class B shares shall have pre-emption rights to subscribe for new shares of the same class pro rata to the number of shares owned by the holder prior thereto (primary pre-emption rights). Shares which are not subscribed for pursuant to primary pre-emption rights shall be offered for subscription to all shareholders (secondary pre-emption rights). In the event such offered shares are insufficient to satisfy subscription pursuant to secondary pre-emption rights, the shares shall be allotted among the subscribers pro rata to the number of shares held prior thereto and, to the extent such cannot take place, through the drawing of lots.

In the event of the company decides to issue only class A shares or class B shares through a cash issue or a set-off issue, all shareholders shall have pre-emption rights to subscribe for new shares pro rata to the number of shares held prior thereto, irrespective of whether they hold class A or class B shares.

In the event the company decides to issue subscription warrants or convertible debentures through a cash issue or a set-off issue, the shareholders shall have pre-emption rights to subscribe for subscription warrants as if the issue related to the new shares which may be subscribed for by virtue of the warrant and pre-emption rights to subscribe for convertible debentures as if the issue related to the shares for which the debentures may be exchanged.

The foregoing does not entail any restriction on the possibility to decide on a cash issue or set-off issue in derogation of the shareholders’ pre-emption rights.

Upon an increase in the share capital through a bonus issue, new shares shall be issued of each class pro rata to the number of shares of the same class issued prior thereto. Old shares of a particular class shall carry an entitlement to new shares of the same class. The foregoing shall not entail any restriction on the possibility, following a requisite alteration of the articles of association, to issue shares of a new class by means of a bonus issue.

Class A shares may be subject to reclassification into class B shares. Owners of class A shares shall be entitled, during February and August each year (the “Reclassification Periods”), to request that all or part of their class A shares are reclassified to class B shares. Requests for reclassification, which must be made in writing and specify the number of shares to be reclassified, are to be submitted to the Company no later than last day during the relevant Reclassification Period. The Company shall without delay after the end of the relevant Reclassification Period provide notification of the reclassification to the Companies Registration Office for registration. Reclassifications become effective when the shares have been registered and a note of this has been entered in the CSD register.
