Resolution on Remuneration Policy for senior executives (item 15)
Renumeration of the President and other senior executives is comprised of a basic salary, short-term variable remuneration, pension benefits and other benefits. All pension benefits are defined-contribution based. Short-term variable renumerations are decided by the Board of Directors.
The distribution between the basic wage and, at times, the short-term variable renumeration, should be in proportion with the executive’s responsibilities and authority. The short-term variable renumeration is for the President maximized at 40 percent of the annual salary. For other senior executives, it is maximized to 0-30 percent of the annual salary. The variable renumeration for the President and other senior executives is based on the outcome of a number of quantitative parameters, compared to their targets. The quantitative parameters are related to the development of the company’s operations and each business year’s prioritized matters.
In such events where a member of the board is employed by the company, outside of his or her role as a board member, a market-oriented cash compensation be paid according to the decision of the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors proposes the Annual General Meeting to authorize the Board of Directors to, on one or more occasions until the next Annual General Meeting, issue new shares in the company.

The issuance of new share may only increase the total number of shares by 900.000, meaning around 10% of the total number of shares as per the day of this notice. This authorization is to include the right to issue shares with cash payment, payment by contribution in kind or payment by way of set-off, and otherwise subject to conditions as set out in Chapter 2, section 5, second paragraph 1–3 and 5 of the Swedish Companies Act. The reason for deviating from the shareholder’s preferential rights is that the company should, in case of an acquisition, be given the opportunity to gain one or more owners of strategic importance for the company. The share price of new shares shall be made through a judgement of the market value of the shares. The Annual General Meeting is also proposed to authorize the Board of Directors, the President and whoever the Board of Directors authorize, to make minor adjustments necessary to register the decision with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
