Proposals by the Nomination Committee

The Nomination Committee consists of Jorgen Durban, Chairman of the Nomination Committee, representing Erik Fallstrom/Achilles Capital AB, Todd Thomson, representing Kairos Ventures, Andre Netzen Orn, representing Cicero Fonder, and Bami Bastani, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Sivers Semiconductors AB. The Nomination Committee has presented the following proposed resolutions to items 1 and 6 in the proposed agenda.

Election of Chairman of the Meeting (item 1)

The Nomination Committee proposes that advokat Jorgen S. Axelsson is elected as Chairman of the Meeting.

Election of auditor (item 6)

The Nomination Committee proposes that the assignment of the Company's auditor Deloitte AB is terminated before the end of its term of office, with effect from the close of the Extraordinary General Meeting, and that the registered public accounting firm Ernst & Young AB is elected as auditor for the period until the close of the next Annual General Meeting. The number of auditors shall remain unchanged and the auditor's fees shall continue to be paid in accordance with approved invoices.

Deloitte AB has been the Company's auditor for ten years. Under Article 17 of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014, the audit engagement of a public-interest entity may as a general rule not exceed ten consecutive years. The proposal follows a recommendation by the Audit Committee to change audit firm after ten years of service, which the Nomination Committee approved unanimously. The Nomination Committee considers it appropriate to establish a new long-term audit relationship with a Big Four firm in view of the Company's growth, its increasing international presence and its preparations for a potential dual listing of the shares in the United States, expected to be completed during the first half of 2027. Ernst & Young AB has extensive experience of Swedish listed companies with U.S. capital markets activities and SEC reporting requirements. The proposal is not based on any disagreement regarding the Company's accounting or financial reporting, and the Nomination Committee considers that the circumstances constitute objective grounds under Chapter 9, Section 22 of the Swedish Companies Act (2005:551).

The proposal has been prepared in accordance with Article 16 of that Regulation and is in accordance with the recommendation of the Audit Committee. A resolution pursuant to this item is valid if approved by shareholders representing more than half of the votes cast.

Proposals by the Board of Directors

Resolution on a long-term incentive program (item 7)

For the purpose of improving the opportunity for retaining and recruiting competent personnel to the Sivers Semiconductors Group (the "Group") and increasing the motivation amongst the employees, the Board of Directors proposes that the Extraordinary General Meeting resolves to introduce an incentive program (the "P11") for employees of the Group. P11 can be allotted to employees in the United States, Scotland, Sweden, India and China. These are the countries in which the Group conducts its operations and employs personnel, and the participation of employees in all of these countries on equal terms is intended to support a consistent group-wide approach to retention and recruitment. Board members who are not employed by the Group shall not be entitled to participate in P11.

Background and rationale

In preparing the proposal, the Company has engaged with shareholders and proxy advisors and has benchmarked the proposal against prevailing Swedish market practice for long-term incentive programs. P11 has been designed in the light of that feedback.

The rationale for the proposal for P11 is to improve the conditions for retaining and recruiting competent personnel to the Group and increasing the motivation of the employees. Furthermore, more visible opportunities are established for long-term participation in the Group's operations and in reaching the Company's overall targets. The Board of Directors is of the opinion that the introduction of P11 as described above benefits the Group and the Company's shareholders. The structure of P11, under which no options vest or become exercisable before the third anniversary of the date of grant, has been adopted in order to ensure that P11 is sufficiently long-term in nature and consistent with prevailing Swedish market practice and the expectations of institutional shareholders and proxy advisors.

General

P11 consists of stock options intended for the employees of the Group (the "Stock Options").

- The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issues landmark permit advancing America's nuclear energy leadership.

- First U.S. site cleared to move forward with BWRX‑300 Advanced Reactor.

- TVA's Clinch River Nuclear Site positioned as nation's premier location for small modular reactor innovation, strengthening U.S. energy security.

- Editor's Note: Download video, audio and photos of signing ceremony. (Password: NRCSep2026)

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Tennessee Valley Authority Tuesday achieved a nationally significant milestone in America's nuclear energy future with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) issuance of the construction permit for Clinch River Unit 1, a GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy BWRX‑300 small modular reactor (SMR), at TVA's Clinch River Nuclear Site near Oak Ridge, Tenn.

While no construction date has been announced, TVA is now the first U.S. utility permitted to construct the BWRX‑300 SMR. This is only the second advanced reactor construction permit ever issued in the nation. This milestone underscores TVA's proven track record of nuclear excellence, safe operations, and long‑term energy leadership.

"This construction permit is more than a regulatory achievement – it's foundational for America's nuclear future," said Mike Skaggs, TVA Interim President & CEO. "We are proud to be part of this effort to partner with the NRC, GVH and the Administration to explore the opportunities of new nuclear as we continue to serve the Valley region and the nation."

During the signing ceremony, TVA recognized the NRC's evaluation process that enabled the permit to be issued ahead of schedule.

"We appreciate the NRC's leadership, transparency, and commitment to safe, effective nuclear development as TVA advances next‑generation nuclear technologies," said TVA's Chief Nuclear Officer Matt Rasmussen. "The NRC's strong engagement with the industry is essential to support America's energy leadership and help build the foundation for the nation's advanced nuclear future."

The NRC's action reflects modern regulatory efficiency, streamlined licensing, and enhanced federal‑industry coordination. The Clinch River permit establishes a clear, repeatable licensing pathway for future BWRX-300 SMR applicants – improving predictability, lowering barriers, and accelerating deployment timelines nationwide.

TVA's Clinch River site is strategically located near the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, placing it at the epicenter of America's nuclear innovation. Backed by strong community, state, and federal support, Clinch River stands as a model for the nation's growing nuclear ecosystem and a pathway for future SMR development.

"Tennessee has the legacy and expertise to lead America's nuclear future, and today's milestone brings that vision closer to reality," said Governor Bill Lee. "The Clinch River project represents the next chapter in our state's legacy of innovation, strengthening America's energy security and creating opportunity for generations to come. I'm grateful to TVA, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and our federal, state, and industry partners whose leadership made this achievement possible."

"America's nuclear renaissance runs through Tennessee, and TVA's Clinch River site is a big reason why," said U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn. "This permit brings TVA one step closer to building one of the nation's first small modular reactors that will power Tennessee homes and businesses with clean, reliable energy, and I applaud TVA and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for making this moment possible."

"The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's effort to open the door for more rapid technology investment in state and regional industry leaders like TVA is the exact approach our country needs to advance abundant, reliable, and affordable energy," said U.S. Senator Bill Hagerty. "I have every confidence that through this partnership, the addition of the Clinch River unit will further cement Tennessee's position as the epicenter of nuclear innovation and unleash energy that powers our state and nation."

"It was a tremendous honor to stand alongside the visionary leadership of the Tennessee Valley Authority and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission at the signing ceremony for the Clinch River Construction Permit. I have worked closely with TVA, our state government, local leaders, and communities to ensure the Tennessee Valley leads the way in groundbreaking nuclear technology and the revival of American industry that comes with it," said U.S. Representative Chuck Fleischmann. "TVA is leading the nation in mass nuclear deployment and setting the gold standard for reliable utilities across America. Affordable, clean, and reliable energy powers our economic prosperity and strengthens our national security. It is essential to the American way of life. I will always champion efforts that keep Tennessee and our nation at the forefront of energy innovation and abundance."

"I am excited to celebrate the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's issuance of a construction permit for TVA's Clinch River Unit One. TVA cleared a regulatory hurdle that will help future projects move even faster. This is a big win not just for TVA, but for the country, and it's happening right here in East Tennessee," said U.S. Representative Tim Burchett. "I am also looking forward to the new jobs that this project will create, and I want to thank President Trump for encouraging the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to update their plan of action, which helped streamline this process. Nuclear energy is national security."

SMRs are advanced nuclear reactors that generate up to 300 megawatts of electricity; about one‑third the size of traditional nuclear units. Their modular design allows major components to be built in factories and shipped to the site, which reduces construction time, cost, and complexity. SMRs offer passive safety features, smaller land and water requirements, and the ability to be added in phases to meet growing energy demand.

TVA continues negotiations with industry partners to ensure responsible cost sharing and financial accountability throughout design and construction.

"Our priority is ensuring the people of the Valley do not shoulder the costs of first‑of‑a‑kind technology that benefits the nation and world," Skaggs said. "Strategic partnerships enable shared responsibility, shared value, and shared progress as we deploy advanced nuclear infrastructure to meet our nation's energy security and AI dominance goals."

About TVA

The Tennessee Valley Authority is the nation's largest public power supplier, delivering energy to more than 10 million people across seven southeastern states. TVA has one of the most diverse energy systems – including nuclear, hydro, coal, gas, and advanced technologies. TVA is making significant investments in its power system toward new generation and transmission.

The article explains how consistent bookkeeping supports cash flow management, profitability, and long-term business growth.

FRANKLIN, Ind., Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- What business owners should know about year-round bookkeeping? HelloNation has published an article that provides the answer, drawing on insights from Joshua Case, CPA of American Tax Service LLC in Franklin, Indiana.

The article explores why bookkeeping should be viewed as an ongoing business function rather than a task reserved for tax season. According to the HelloNation article, maintaining accurate financial records throughout the year gives business owners a clearer understanding of their company's financial position and supports more informed decision-making. Consistent recordkeeping allows owners to monitor income, expenses, and profitability with greater accuracy.

The article explains that year-round bookkeeping provides visibility into the financial patterns that shape a business's success. Rather than relying on estimates or year-end summaries, business owners can use regularly updated records to evaluate performance and identify trends. This ongoing awareness supports planning and creates opportunities to address concerns before they become larger problems.

A major focus of the article is cash flow management. The HelloNation article notes that some businesses may appear profitable while still facing cash shortages. By maintaining current financial records, owners can better identify seasonal changes, recurring costs, and unpaid invoices. Understanding these factors can help businesses anticipate challenges and make timely adjustments. Effective cash flow management remains one of the most important benefits of year-round bookkeeping because it provides insight into how money moves through the business.

The article also discusses the value of reviewing financial performance throughout the year. Regular reporting allows business owners to evaluate results on a monthly or quarterly basis rather than waiting until year-end. The article describes how this approach supports budgeting, pricing decisions, and strategic planning. It also helps owners respond more effectively when market conditions or operating expenses change.

Another key topic involves the transition from DIY bookkeeping to professional support. The article explains that many small business owners begin by handling their own records, especially during the early stages of growth. However, as operations become more complex, bookkeeping demands often increase significantly. Financial records require greater accuracy and more attention as revenue, expenses, and responsibilities expand.

The HelloNation article identifies several signs that a growing business may have outgrown DIY bookkeeping. These signs can include spending excessive time on financial tasks, experiencing delays in reporting, struggling with account reconciliations, or lacking confidence in profitability data. The article notes that these challenges can limit a business owner's ability to make informed decisions and may indicate that professional bookkeeping assistance is warranted.

Tax preparation is another area where consistent bookkeeping provides advantages. The article explains that organized financial records help simplify tax preparation throughout the year. Maintaining accurate documentation can reduce the risk of missed deductions, overlooked deadlines, and last-minute efforts to gather important information. The article notes that reliable bookkeeping practices often contribute to a smoother and less stressful tax preparation process.

The article further emphasizes that business growth depends on having reliable financial information available when important decisions are made. Whether evaluating expansion opportunities, hiring employees, purchasing equipment, or managing operating costs, current financial records provide valuable insight. Tax Experts often recognize that timely information can play a significant role in helping businesses navigate growth while maintaining financial stability.

The article concludes that year-round bookkeeping creates a strong foundation for financial awareness, planning, and long-term success. Tax Experts understand that maintaining accurate records throughout the year can help business owners reduce uncertainty, strengthen profitability, and make decisions with greater confidence.

DoorDash's $131.5 million New York City payout over alleged delivery-worker underpayment equals roughly 66% of its second-quarter 2026 GAAP net income, and DASH shareholders are now counting the cost.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DoorDash (NASDAQ: DASH) shareholders may have suffered a loss as the market absorbed the Company's record $131.5 million settlement with New York City over alleged underpayment and late payment of delivery workers. If you bought DoorDash shares and are now sitting on a loss, your recovery rights may be at stake. Investors who lost money are encouraged to review your DASH losses with our team now. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. via email at [email protected] or by telephone at (888) SueWallSt.

Here is how the payment compares with DoorDash's own numbers. The $131.5 million equals approximately 66% of the Company's second-quarter 2026 GAAP net income and about 32% of its $406 million litigation reserve balance. Measured against full-year 2025, it equals roughly 18% of the $723 million in operating income DoorDash reported.

Market coverage after the announcement cited direct financial costs, ongoing compliance obligations, and possible margin pressure in other markets as investor concerns. SueWallSt notifies investors of a pending investigation into whether DoorDash may not have adequately disclosed the scale of its delivery-worker pay exposure. The investigation is also examining whether shareholders who suffered losses may be able to recover for potential securities law violations.

Frequently Asked Questions About the DASH Investigation

Q: Which statements are being investigated as potentially misleading?A: The investigation concerns whether DoorDash made materially false or misleading statements regarding its exposure to litigation and regulatory matters involving delivery-worker pay. When the Company disclosed a $131.5 million agreement with New York City resolving allegations that delivery workers were underpaid or paid late, the stock price declined.

Q: When did DoorDash allegedly mislead investors?A: The investigation concerns statements DoorDash made before it disclosed the $131.5 million New York City agreement. These statements allegedly caused investors to purchase DASH securities at inflated prices.

Q: What do DASH investors need to do right now?A: Investors may gather brokerage records showing purchase dates, share quantities, and prices paid. Submit your information for a no-cost, no-obligation evaluation of your potential recovery. No immediate action is required to remain eligible to participate in the investigation.

Q: What documents do I need to participate?A: Brokerage statements or trade confirmations showing purchase dates, share quantities, prices paid, and any subsequent sale dates and prices.

Q: What if I already sold my DASH shares -- can I still recover losses?A: Yes. Eligibility is based on when you purchased, not whether you still hold the shares. Investors who bought DASH and sold at a loss may still participate in the investigation.

Q: What does it cost me to participate?A: There is no upfront cost to submit your information and review whether you may be eligible to recover. Should you choose to participate in any resulting action, these matters are generally handled on a contingency basis, with any attorneys' fees and expenses subject to court approval.

Q: Do I need to go to court or give testimony?A: No. Participating in the investigation does not require court appearances or depositions. If legal action is later pursued, the overwhelming majority of affected investors never appear in court either.
