The Board’s proposal concerning disposition of the company’s earnings (item 10)
The Board has proposed that no dividend be distributed.

The Board’s proposed decision on guidelines for remuneration to senior executives (item 16)
The Board’s proposal, which includes guidelines on salaries, pensions and other terms of employment for senior executives, is contained in the statutory administration report in the company’s annual report.

Nomination committee (item 17)
The Nomination Committee proposes that until the general meeting resolves otherwise, a Nomination Committee shall be appointed by the representatives of the four largest shareholders listed in the company's share register kept by Euroclear Sweden, as of 30 September, as well as the Chairman of the Board. In the assessment of the four largest shareholders, a group of shareholders shall be regarded as one owner provided that they (i) have been grouped together in the Euroclear Sweden system or (ii) have made public and notified the company in writing that they have agreed in writing to have a long term unified conduct regarding the management of the company through coordinating the use of their voting rights.

If any of the largest shareholders do not wish to appoint a member of the Nomination Committee, the largest shareholders in turn shall be contacted. If any of the shareholders in turn refrain from appointing a member of the Nomination Committee, the Chairman of the Board will only need to contact the eight largest shareholders in order to obtain a Nomination Committee composed of at least five members (including the Chairman of the Board). If a Nomination Committee composed of five members (including the Chairman) is not obtained after having contacted the eight largest shareholders, the Chairman shall continue to contact the shareholders that are next in turn until a Nomination Committee composed of four members (including the Chairman) has been obtained.

Changes to the composition of the Nomination Committee shall be announced immediately.

The Chairman of the Board shall convene the first meeting of the Nomination Committee. Chairman of the Nomination Committee shall, if the members of the committee unanimously do not agree otherwise, be the member that represents the shareholder controlling the largest number of votes.

The Nomination Committee´s term of office extends until a new Nomination Committee has been appointed.

Decision to authorise the Board to resolve on issuance of shares (item 18)
The Board proposes that the meeting authorises the Board, until the next annual general meeting, on one or more occasions, with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, to resolve on new issues of shares corresponding to not more than ten (10) per cent of the total number of outstanding shares in the company per the day of publication of this notice. The authorisation shall also include the right to resolve on new issues where the shares are to be paid for with non-cash consideration, through set-off or otherwise with conditions pursuant to the Swedish Companies Act.

The reason for the proposal and the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights is to permit flexibility in connection with possible further acquisitions and capital raisings. The basis for the subscription price shall be the market value of the share.

A valid resolution must be supported by shareholders representing at least two thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting

Decision to authorise the Board to resolve upon acquisition and transfer of own shares (item 19)
The Board proposes that the meeting authorises the Board, until the next annual general meeting, on one or more occasions to resolve upon the acquisition of a maximum number of own shares so that, after the purchase, the company holds not more than five (5) per cent of the total number of shares in the company. Such shares shall be purchased on Nasdaq Stockholm at a price that is within the registered price interval (spread) at any given time, meaning the interval between the highest bid price and the lowest ask price, and in other respects in accordance with the rules of Nasdaq Stockholm at any given time. The purpose of the repurchase of own shares is to align the company’s capital structure to the company’s capital requirements and, where appropriate, to enable share transfers in conjunction with the financing of company acquisitions and other types of strategic investments and acquisitions.

The Board further proposes that the meeting authorises the Board, until the next annual general meeting, on one or more occasions to resolve upon the transfer of own shares. The shares may only be transferred as part of the purchase price in conjunction a company acquisition or a merger, and the transfers may not exceed the maximum number of own shares held by the company at any given time. Payment for shares transferred in this manner may be made through a non-cash issue or offsetting of claims against the company, or on other specific terms. The reason for the board of directors’ authorisation to waive the shareholders’ preferential rights is, where appropriate, to be able to transfer shares in conjunction with carrying out any company acquisitions and other types of strategic investments and acquisitions in a cost-efficient manner.

A valid resolution must be supported by shareholders representing at least two thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.
