Articles of Association

§1

The corporate name of the company is Eltel AB. The company is public (publ).

§2

The registered office of the company shall be in Stockholm.

§3

The company’s objects are to directly or through wholly-owned or part-owned subsidiaries provide services in the form of maintenance, upgrades and project deliveries in the fields of energy, communications, infrastructure and defense and, within the scope of such business acquire, own, manage or sell shares, interests, securities, securities-related instruments, companies or parts thereof and to manage and sell properties on its own behalf together with any other activities compatible therewith.

§4

The company’s share capital shall amount to not less than EUR 63,161,238 and not more than EUR 252,644,952.

§5

Number of shares and share classes

The minimum number of shares shall be 63,161,238 and the maximum number shall be 252,644,952.

Shares may be issued in two series, ordinary shares and Class C shares. Ordinary shares may be issued in a maximum number corresponding to not more than 100 per cent of the total number of shares in the company and Class C shares may be issued in a maximum number corresponding to not more than 3.0 per cent of the total number of shares in the company.

Each ordinary share entitles the holder to one vote and each Class C share entitles the holder to one-tenth of a vote.

Class C shares do not entitle to dividends. Upon the company’s liquidation, Class C shares carry an equal right to the company’s assets as ordinary shares, however not to an amount exceeding up to the quota value of the share.

Should the company decide to issue new ordinary shares and Class C shares through a cash issue or a set-off issue, owners of ordinary shares and Class C shares shall have preferential right to subscribe for new shares of the same series in proportion to their existing shareholdings (primary preferential right). Shares that are not subscribed for with primary preferential right shall be offered to all shareholders for subscription (subsidiary subscription). Should the number of shares offered not be enough for subscription through subsidiary preferential right, the said shares shall be apportioned among the subscribers in proportion to their existing shareholdings and, to the extent that this cannot be done, by lottery.

Should the company decide through a cash issue or a set-off issue to offer only ordinary shares or C shares, all shareholders, regardless of whether their shares are ordinary shares or Class C shares, shall have right to subscribe for new shares in proportion to their existing shareholdings.

The above shall not constitute any restriction on the possibility to decide on a cash issue or a set-off issue, deviating from the preferential rights of the shareholders. What is stated above about the shareholders´ preferential rights shall apply mutatis mutandis for new issues of warrants and convertibles not made against contribution in kind.

If the share capital is increased through a bonus issue, new shares in each series shall be issued in proportion to the existing number of shares in each series. Old shares in a specific series shall thus carry entitlement to new shares in the same series. The aforesaid shall not constitute any restriction on the possibility to issue new shares of a new series through a bonus issue, following the requisite amendment to the Articles of Association.

The board may resolve on reduction of the share capital by redemption of all outstanding Class C shares. In case of a resolution on redemption, holders of Class C shares shall be obliged to redeem all Class C shares against a redemption amount corresponding to the share’s quota value. Payment of the redemption amount shall be made as soon as possible.

Class C shares held by the company itself may, upon request by the board, be reclassified into ordinary shares. Immediately thereafter, the board shall report the reclassification to the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Sw. Bolagsverket) for registration. The reclassification is effected when it has been registered in the Swedish Register of Companies and the reclassification been noted in the Swedish Central Securities Depository Register.
