Resolution on amending the terms of the Company’s outstanding convertible bond (item 7) The Board of Directors proposes that the Extraordinary General Meeting resolves to amend the terms of the Company's outstanding convertible bond 2016/2021:1. In the context of the company restructuring initiated in the Company on December 3, 2018, negotiations have been conducted with, among others, the holder of the Company's convertibles 2016/2021:1. These negotiations have resulted in an agreement entailing, inter alia, that the terms for payment will be amended in order to enable a successful company restructuring. As a result of the agreement entered into, the Company has undertaken to convene an Extraordinary General Meeting and to propose at this Extraordinary General Meeting to amend the terms of the convertible bond. The holder of the convertible bond, Smilegate Holdings Inc., has agreed to amend the terms of the convertible bond as proposed. The Board of Directors proposes, against the background of the above, that the Extraordinary General Meeting resolves to amend the terms for the Company's convertibles 2016/2021:1 in accordance with paragraphs a – i below.

1. in the definition of "Final Due Date", the introductory part "... refers to the day that occurs five (5) years after Registration ..." is replaced by "... refers to December 6, 2024 ...";
2. item 2 c) shall read: “The loan is due for payment in accordance with the terms set out in 2 f) below. However, notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 2 f), outstanding amounts of capital and accrued interest are due on the Final Due Date.
3. paragraph 2 d) shall read: “The convertibles constitute direct, unconditional obligations for the Company which are subordinated to the benefit of other creditors in the composition proposal settled for the Company on December 6, 2019. Collateral has been provided for the convertibles in the form of a pledge of shares in New Starbreeze Publishing AB, which pledge is subordinated to the benefit of other mortgagees and is conditional in that it may only be used provided that all the Company's other creditors in the composition proposal that was settled for the Company on December 6, 2019, received full payment in accordance with the proposal. In priority right, the Convertibles are ranked pari passu without mutual preference.
4. paragraph 2 f) shall read: "Capital amounts and interest shall be paid quarterly in arrears on January 31, April 30, July 30 and October 31, annually, for the first time on January 31, 2020. If a due date now specified is not a banking day, payment should instead be made on the next banking day. The capital amount is paid in 20 equal installments together with accrued unpaid interest. Payment is deducted primarily against the amount of capital and, secondly, against accrued interest. The stated payment obligation is conditional and must be fulfilled on specified due dates with an amount that corresponds to the entire free net cash flow. The free net cash flow, when applying these conditions, is defined as consolidated, free cash flow in the Company after tax in the period-ending financial statement that preceded the current maturity date, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), after deduction of a buffer corresponding to an amount which corresponds to the net liquidity needs of the next calendar quarter according to the established liquidity forecast. In applying these terms, it is further considered that the right to payment for the Convertibles is subordinated in the manner set out in 2 d) above,
5. in paragraph 10 (a), the conversion price of SEK 13.49 stated at the end of the first sentence shall be adjusted to the value corresponding to the average quoted price of the shares during the trading days December 9, 2019, to January 10, 2020,
6. paragraph 9 (a) is amended from “… at any time during the period…” to “… from the first day of the period following from paragraph 9 (b)…”,
7. paragraph 9 (b) first sentence shall be amended from “… The convertible holder may request Conversion during the period beginning at Registration…” to “… The convertible holder may request Conversion during the period beginning on the day after January 13, 2020, when the Swedish Companies Registration Office has registered the resolution to adjust the Conversion Rate… ”,
8. the terms of paragraphs 6 and 8 shall be deleted in its entirety; and
1. the terms shall otherwise be amended to reflect the changes resulting from the agreement with the holder and the company restructuring that has taken place in the Company, and the implementation of the settled restructuring plan.

For a valid decision as above, it is required that the resolution is supported by shareholders with at least two thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
