Nothing in the above shall restrict the company's ability to decide on a cash issue or set-off issue without preferential right for the shareholders.

If a class A share has been transferred from one shareholder to another shareholder in the company, or to someone not previously a shareholder in the company, the share shall immediately be offered to the other holders of class A shares for redemption through a written application to the company's Board of Directors. The acquisition of the shares must hereby be verified. The provision applies to all forms of acquisition.  A pre-emptive offer may not be exercised for a smaller number of shares than the offer includes.

The Board of Directors must immediately notify everyone entitled to redemption, whose postal address is entered in the share register or is otherwise known to the company, of the application for transfer of the A shares, with the request that anyone wishing to exercise their redemption rights submit a written claim for redemption to the company within two months of the application to the Board regarding share transfer. 

If several shareholders wish to exercise their rights, the order of priority shall be decided by drawing lots, carried out by a notary public. However, if at the same time several shares have been offered for redemption, the shares shall first be allocated, as far as possible, pro rata to the shareholders' existing holding of A shares. 

The redemption price shall be determined as follows: 
a) if the ownership has been transferred through purchase, the redemption price shall correspond to the consideration; and 
b) if the ownership has been transferred other than through purchase and an agreement on the redemption price has not been reached, the redemption price shall be the amount that the share is valued at by an arbitrator appointed in accordance with the provisions of the Swedish Arbitration Act.
If the acquirer and the person who has requested redemption do not reach an agreement on the redemption price, the person who has requested redemption may, within two months of the date when the claim for redemption was submitted, refer the dispute for settlement by arbitration in accordance with the Swedish Arbitration Act. 
The consideration for the shares shall be paid within one month of the date on which the redemption amount was determined. 

If, within the stipulated period of time, no redemption claim is submitted or the redemption price is not paid, the person who offered the share for redemption shall be entitled to be registered as the holder of the share.
