6. any agreements have been entered into on non-market terms between MEAB and the CEO and/or the COO of MEAB involving an increase in the earn-outs of the CEO and/or the COO (also a seller under the SPA) under the SPA, and if such agreements are duly concluded following a resolution of the MEAB Board of Directors;

7. any of the board members of MEAB have been employed by or had assignments with MEAB in any capacity or has been compensated by MEAB in any way outside of the board member’s ordinary remuneration;

9. any board member or the CEO of MEAB received complaints or had knowledge of complaints of sexual harassment from any board member or employee of MEAB, and if so, whether (i) such complaints were properly handled, (ii) there was any cover-up of such complaints, (iii) there was any financial payment in connection with any such complaint, or (iv) there was retaliation against any person who made such complaints; and

10. if MEAB’s CEO or Board of Directors has acted in violation of the Swedish Companies Act in connection with the convening of the 2024 AGM and if MEAB’s CEO, directly or indirectly, has offered or accepted services or benefits in exchange for votes cast or promised at general meetings or board meetings of MEAB.
