Resolution on new incentive program and resolution to authorise the Board of Directors to issue warrants (item 18)
The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting resolves on a new warrant program and issuance of warrants (the "Warrant Program").

Background and motive
The Board of Directors considers it to be in the interest of the company and the shareholders that the executive management and other employees of the company are made part of the company's development by being offered warrants in a new warrant program. The reasons for the proposal are to create opportunity to retain and attract qualified personnel to the group and to increase motivation for the executive management and other employees of the company by being involved in and working for a positive value increase on the company's share during the period covered by the Warrant Program.

Given the terms and conditions, size of allotment and other circumstances, the Board of Directors consider the Warrant Program, in accordance with the below, to be reasonable and advantageous for the company and its shareholders.

Allotment, transfer and regarding the terms and conditions for the warrants
In total, no more than 7,000,000 warrants is proposed to be issued through the Warrant Program for the executive management and other employees in accordance with the below. Entitled to subscribe for warrants is the wholly owned subsidiary The Mollet AB, which will transfer the warrants to employees in the group. The warrants shall be issued free of charge to The Mollet AB.

Transfer of warrants to participants shall be made at a price corresponding to the market value of the warrant (i.e. the warrant premium) determined using the Black & Scholes-formula. The transfer of warrants to the participants shall be made before the end of the second quarter 2018. The valuation of the warrants shall be made by an independent financial adviser or accounting firm. Transfer of warrants to participants in the Warrant Program shall be made in accordance with the allocation below.

Not more than a total of 7,000,000 warrants may be allotted within the Warrant Program.

Each warrant entitles to subscription of one share in the company during a period of two weeks directly following the publication of Invuo's interim report for the period January – March 2021, to an exercise price corresponding to 170 per cent of the average volume weighted Invuo share price as quoted on Nasdaq Stockholm during the period 10 trading days calculated from the general meeting that resolves on the Warrant Program and onwards. The calculated exercise price shall be rounded off to nearest even tenth of a krona, whereupon 0.05 krona will be rounded up.

The exercise price and number of shares that each warrant entitles to subscribe for shall be recalculated in the event of a share split, share consolidation, new issue, etc. in accordance with customary conversion conditions. The warrants may, in accordance with customary terms and conditions, be exercised prior to the exercise period in the event of, for example, compulsory acquisition of shares, liquidation or merger whereupon Invuo will merge into another company.

Right to hold and exercise the warrants assumes that the holder is employed in the Invuo group up until the moment when the warrants may be exercised. In connection with the transfer of warrants to the participants, The Mollet AB will reserve the right to buy back warrants if the participant's employment or assignment in the group ends or if the participant wants to reassign the warrants.

Regarding employees resident outside of Sweden, participation requires that transfer of warrants is legal, and that the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, consider it to be possible within reasonable administrative and economic efforts.

Dilution effect, costs, etc.
The Board of Directors' proposal to resolve on issuance of warrants entails a dilution effect corresponding to a maximum of approximately 7.9 per cent of the shares and votes in the company if the proposed warrants are exercised in full. For information regarding the company's existing incentive programs, please refer to the company's annual report for 2017 and the company's website (www.invuo.com). The Warrant Program is expected to have a marginal effect on the Invuo group's key ratios.

The subscription price at the transfer of warrants will correspond to the market value of the warrants, why no costs pertaining to employees or social costs will arise for the company in connection with the issue.

Preparation of the proposal
The proposal has been prepared of the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors will execute the resolution above to issue warrants.
