(Lex Leo).
Against the above background, the board of directors hereby

the below notice.
EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING IN OXE MARINE AB (PUBL)
The shareholders in OXE Marine AB (publ), reg. no 556889-7226
(the "Company"), are convened to the extraordinary general
meeting of shareholders to be held on Tuesday 13 December
2022.
The board of directors has resolved, in accordance with the act
(2022:121) on temporary exceptions to facilitate the execution of
general meetings in companies and other associations, that the
general meeting shall be held without the physical presence of
shareholders, proxies or any third parties, and that the
shareholders' voting rights may only be exercised in advance by
postal voting.
Right to attend and notice
Shareholders who want to attend the extraordinary general
meeting must:
- be recorded as a shareholder in the share register prepared by
Euroclear Sweden AB ("Euroclear") relating to the

below.
Nominee-registered shares
Shareholders whose shares are registered in the name of a
nominee must, in addition to notify their intention to attend the
extraordinary general meeting, re-register their shares in their
own name so that the shareholder is recorded in the share register
on 5 December 2022. Such registration
may be temporary (so-called voting right registration) and is
requested from the nominee in accordance with the nominee's
procedures and in such time in advance as the nominee determines.
Voting right registrations duly effected by the nominee no later
than 7 December 2022 will be regarded in the preparation of
the share register.
Postal voting
The shareholders may exercise their voting rights at the general
meeting only by postal voting in accordance with sections 20 and 22

execution of general meetings in companies and other associations.
A special form shall be used for the postal voting, which will be
made available on the Company's website. The postal vote will also
constitute the shareholder's notification of participation.
Shareholders may not provide the postal vote with any special
instructions or conditions. If so, the vote (i.e. the postal vote
in its entirety) is invalid. Further instructions and conditions
will be set forth in the postal voting form.
The completed postal voting form must have been received by
Advokatfirman Lindahl no later than Monday 12 December 2022. The form shall be sent by

A shareholder may in the postal voting form request that one or
several matters in the proposed agenda is postponed to a so called
continued general meeting, which may not be held solely by postal
voting. Such a continued general meeting shall be convened if the
general meeting resolves in accordance with such request or if
shareholders representing at least one tenth of all shares in the
Company so request.

Proposals
Item 1 - Election of chairman of the general

The board of directors proposes that attorney-at-law
Mikael Mellberg is elected as chairman of the general
meeting.
Item 2 - Preparation and approval of the voting list
The board of directors proposes that the voting list to be

on the Company's EGM share register and the received postal
votes.
Item 3 - Election of one or several persons to verify the
minutes of the meeting
The board of directors proposes that Theodor Jeansson is elected
to verify the minutes of the general meeting.
Item 6 - Resolution to approve the board of director's
resolution to issue new shares
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting
resolves to approve the board of directors' resolution on
20 November 2022 (subject to approval
by the general meeting) to increase the Company's share capital
with not more than SEK 29,984.62 by an issue of not more than
1,000,000 new shares on the terms and conditions set out below:
- The right to subscribe for new shares shall, with deviation
from the shareholders' pre-emption rights, belong to Alpraaz AB,
reg. no. 556451-9378, a company owned by the Company's board member
Christian von Koenigsegg.
- In connection with the resolution on this share issue, the
board has also resolved, as authorized by the general meeting on
2 May 2022, on a directed share issue
to a group of existing and new investors on the same terms as for
this issue. Thus, the reason for the deviation from the
shareholders' preferential right in this issue is the same as for
the other directed share issue, namely to, in a time and
cost-effective way, secure the Company's need for additional
funding. The board of directors has made an overall assessment of
the various alternatives at hand and has carefully considered the
possibility of raising the required capital by carrying out a share
issue with preferential rights for the existing shareholders. After
close evaluation together with its advisers, the board of directors
has concluded that a preferential rights issue would entail a
significant risk that the Company would not be able to raise the
required funding, the main reason being that a rights issue would
be significantly more time-consuming and therefore subject to
higher market risk exposure compared to a directed issue. As a
consequence, especially due to the higher than normal market
volatility observed in 2022 and which is still ongoing, the board
of directors has assessed that a rights issue would require
underwriting commitments in amounts close to the full amount
sought, which the board assesses that it would not be able to
obtain on acceptable terms under current market conditions. In any
case, the costs for the necessary underwriting commitments and
advisers in a rights issue would have used up a large part of the
subscription price, which would have been to the detriment to the
Company and its shareholders compared to the directed issues at
hand. The board of directors has therefore made the assessment that
directed share issues on the terms described in this release is the
most favorable alternative for the Company and in the best interest
of the Company's shareholders.
- Subscription shall be made on a subscription list not later
than 22 November 2022. The board of
directors shall have the right to extend the subscription
period.
- The new shares are issued at a subscription price of
SEK 1.425 per share. The part of the
subscription price exceeding the quotient value of the previous
shares shall be transferred to the unrestricted premium
reserve.
- The subscription price for the new shares has been determined
in negotiations between the Company and the persons entitled to
subscribe for shares in the share issues resolved on by the board
on 20 November 2022.
- Payment for new shares shall be made not later than
22 November 2022. The board of
directors shall have the right to extend the payment period.
- The new shares entitle to dividends for the first time on the
first record date for dividend that take place after the issue of
new shares has been registered with the Swedish Companies
Registration Office and been recorded in the share register kept by
Euroclear Sweden AB.
- The managing director, or any other person appointed by the
board of directors, shall have the right to take those smaller
measures that may be required in order to register the resolution
with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden
AB.
Majority requirements
An approval by the general meeting of the board of director's
resolution is valid only if supported by shareholders holding at
least nine-tenths of both the votes cast and the shares represented
