The board of directors proposes that the annual shareholders' meeting resolves to approve the board of directors' remuneration report for the financial year 2023.

Item 14: Resolution on guidelines for remuneration to senior executives

The board of directors proposes, with amendments to the guidelines adopted by the annual shareholders' meeting 2023, that the annual shareholders' meeting resolves to adopt the following guidelines for remuneration to senior executives.

Scope and applicability of the guidelines

Saniona AB (publ)

Smedeland 26B

Web: saniona.com

DK-2600 Glostrup

Denmark

These guidelines comprise the persons who are part of Saniona's group management (including the CEO). The guidelines also encompass any remuneration to members of the board of directors, in addition to board remuneration.

These guidelines are applicable to remuneration agreed, and amendments to remuneration already agreed, after adoption of the guidelines by the annual shareholders' meeting 2024. These guidelines do not apply to any remuneration resolved by the shareholders' meeting, such as e.g. board remuneration and share-based incentive programs.

The guidelines' promotion of the company's business strategy, long-term interests and sustainability

Saniona is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of medicines modulating ion channels. In short, Saniona's business strategy includes proprietary development of product candidates for the treatment of epilepsy and other diseases of the central nervous system where there are large unmet medical needs, with the goal of obtaining market approval in the US and Europe. For more information about Saniona's business strategy, see Saniona's latest annual report.

A successful implementation of Saniona's business strategy and safeguarding of Saniona's long-term interests, including its sustainability, require that the company is able to recruit and retain highly competent senior executives with a capacity to achieve set goals. In order to achieve this, Saniona must offer a competitive total remuneration on market terms, which these guidelines enable.

Long-termshare-based incentive programs have been implemented in Saniona. For further information about these programs, see Saniona's latest annual report. The share-based incentive programs have been approved by the shareholders' meeting and are therefore not covered by these guidelines.

Types of remuneration, etc.

The remuneration shall be on market terms and be competitive and may consist of the following components: fixed salary, variable cash remuneration, pension benefits and other benefits. For the individual senior executive, the level of remuneration shall be based on factors such as work duties, expertise, position, responsibilities and performances. Additionally, the shareholders' meeting may - irrespective of these guidelines - resolve on, e.g. share and share price-related remuneration.

For employments governed by rules other than Swedish, pension benefits and other benefits may be duly adjusted for compliance with mandatory rules or established local practice, considering, to the extent possible, the overall purpose of these guidelines.

Fixed salary

The CEO and other senior executives shall be offered a fixed annual cash salary. The fixed cash salary shall as a starting point be determined per calendar year with salary revision on an annual basis.

Variable cash remuneration

In addition to fixed salary, the CEO and other senior executives may, according to separate agreements, receive variable cash remuneration. Variable cash remuneration covered by these guidelines is intended to promote Saniona's business strategy and long-term interests, including its sustainability.

The satisfaction of criteria for awarding variable cash remuneration shall be measured over a period of one year. Any variable cash remuneration may not exceed 50 per cent of the fixed annual cash salary. Variable cash remuneration shall not qualify for pension benefits, save as required by mandatory collective bargaining agreements.
