Articles of association

§ 1 COMPANY NAME

The name of the Company is Train Alliance Sweden AB, a public company (publ.).

§ 2 REGISTERED OFFICE

The objective of the company is to invest in and manage real estate, either owned directly or through companies, primarily real estate facilities for rail-related operations such as workshops, logistics halls, and other facilities related to rolling stock and compatible activities.

§ 4 SHARE CAPITAL

The share capital shall amount to no less than SEK 650,000,000 and no more than SEK 2,600,000,000.

§ 5 NUMBER OF SHARES

The number of shares shall amount to no less than 26,000,000 and no more than 104,000,000. Two classes of shares may be issued, class A and class B. Class A shares and class B shares may be issued to a total corresponding to the highest number of shares that may be issued according to these articles of association. Class A shares shall have ten (10) votes and class B shares shall have (1) vote.

§ 6 RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS IN THE INCREASE OF SHARE CAPITAL

Should the company decide, through cash issue or through set-off issue, to issue new shares of class A and class B, the owners of shares of class A and class B shall have preferential right to subscribe for new shares of the same class 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 preferential right). Should the number of shares offered in this way not be enough for subscription through subsidiary preferential right, said shares shall be apportioned among subscribers in proportion to their existing shareholdings, and to the extent that this cannot be done, by lottery.

Should the company decide to issue warrants or convertibles through a cash issue or through a set-off issue, all shareholders shall have preferential right to subscribe for warrants as if the issue was in respect of the shares that may be subscribed for by exercising the warrants and to subscribe for convertibles as if the issue was in respect of the shares that the convertibles may be exchanged against. The aforesaid shall not imply any limitation in the possibility of a decision on cash issue or set-off issue with divergence from shareholders’ preferential right. By increase of share capital through a bonus issue, new shares will be issued of each share class in proportion to the number of existing shares of the same class. This way old shares of a specific class shall convey the right to new shares of the same share class. What has just been said shall not imply any limitation in the possibility that through bonus issue, after appropriate amendment to the Articles of Association, shares of a new class may be offered.


§ 7 CONVERSION CONDITION FOR A-SHARES

Class A shares can be converted into class B shares according to the following procedure. A written request shall be made to the company’s board of directors. The request shall specify how many shares should be converted, and, if the conversion does not include the holder’s entire holding of class A shares, which shares the conversion concerns.

The conversion shall immediately be reported for registration and is effected when the registration is completed and noted in the control register.
