Resolution on remuneration guidelines for senior executives (item 13)
The board of directors proposes the following guidelines for remuneration to senior executives in the Company.
The board of directors proposes a minor adjustment to the guidelines adopted at the Annual General Meeting 2024. The adjustment concerns the maximum level of variable compensation for the CEO, which is increased in order to better reflect market conditions and to strengthen the Company’s ability to attract and retain qualified senior management.
The group management falls within the provisions of these guidelines. The guidelines are forward-looking, i.e. they are applicable to remuneration agreed, and amendments to remuneration already agreed, after adoption of the guidelines by the Annual General Meeting. These guidelines do not apply to any remuneration decided or approved by the General Meeting.
Remuneration under employments subject to other rules than Swedish may be duly adjusted to comply with mandatory rules or local practice, taking into account, the overall purpose of these guidelines.
The guidelines' promotion of the Company’s business strategy, long-term interests and sustainability
In short, the Company's business strategy is the following:
- Expansion in the US-market with Traffic Enforcement as a Service
- Entry into new markets with Traffic Enforcement as a Service
- Developing scalable software & flexible hardware
- Extension of the service scope in existing markets
For more information regarding the Company’s business strategy, please see www.sensysgatso.com.
The Company shall offer total remuneration at the prevailing market rate to enable the recruitment and retention of senior executives.
Types of remuneration, etc.
Remuneration of the group management shall consist of a base salary, variable remuneration, pension and other benefits and remuneration. Together, these various parts shall comprise each individual’s total remuneration.
Additionally, long-term share-related incentive plans can be implemented in the Company. Such plans are resolved by the General Meeting and are therefore excluded from these guidelines.
Variable remuneration covered by these guidelines shall aim at promoting the Company's business strategy and long-term interests, including its sustainability.
The base salary and variable compensation together constitute the senior executive's annual salary.
The base salary shall take into consideration each individual's area of responsibility and experience.
The variable compensation shall be linked to predetermined and measurable criteria. The variable compensation is based on the Company’s net sales and EBITDA for the financial year, and may be paid to the group management. For the CEO, the variable compensation can amount to a maximum of 100 per cent of the annual base salary. For other members of the group management, the variable compensation can amount to a maximum of 50 per cent of their annual base salary.
No variable compensation is to be paid out in the event of negative EBITDA. The board of directors is responsible for evaluating to what extent the criteria have been satisfied.
The criteria shall be designed so as to contribute to the Company's business strategy and long-term interests, including its sustainability, by for example being clearly linked to the business strategy or promoting the executive's long-term development.
The CEO shall benefit from a supplementary pension scheme with a premium that represents approximately 30 per cent of the current annual salary. Other members of the group management shall have the right to retirement pensions as per the Swedish ITP plan or equivalent. The retirement age is 65 years.
Other remuneration and benefits shall be paid at market rate and contribute to enabling each senior executive to fulfil their duties. Such benefits may be of a limited amount.
For employments governed by rules other than Swedish, pension benefits and other benefits may be duly adjusted for compliance with mandatory rules or local practice, taking into account, the overall purpose of these guidelines.
The CEO’s employment contract includes termination conditions. The notice period is six months. If notice is made from the Company’s side severance pay in the form of another three months' salary is paid. The customary notice period of three to six months applies to all other members of the group management. The fixed salary shall remain unchanged during the notice period.
Additionally, remuneration may be paid for non-compete undertakings. Such remuneration shall compensate for loss of income and shall only be paid in so far as the previously employed executive is not entitled to severance pay. The remuneration shall be based on the fixed cash salary at the time of termination of employment and be paid during the time the non-compete undertaking applies, however not for more than 9 months following termination of employment.
Salary and employment conditions for employees
In the preparation of the board of directors' proposal for these remuneration guidelines, salary and employment conditions for employees of the Company have been taken into account by including information on the employees' total income, the components of the remuneration and increase and growth rate over time, in the remuneration committee's and the board of directors’ basis for decision when evaluating whether the guidelines and the limitations set out herein are reasonable.
The decision-making process to determine, review and implement the guidelines
The Company does not have a Remuneration Committee, instead the board of directors handles all matters. The matters that would have been handled by a Remuneration Committee are instead handled by the board of directors, inter alia, by preparing the board of directors' decision to propose guidelines for executive remuneration. The board of directors also monitors and evaluates questions regarding the CEO’s terms of employment, pension benefits and variable remuneration, and resolves on corresponding terms regarding other senior executives. The board of directors shall prepare a proposal for new guidelines at least every fourth year and submit it to the General Meeting. The guidelines shall be in force until new guidelines are adopted by the General Meeting. The board of directors shall also monitor and evaluate programs for variable remuneration for the executive management, the application of the guidelines for executive remuneration as well as the current remuneration structures and compensation levels in the Company. The CEO and other members of the executive management do not participate in the board of directors’ processing of and resolutions regarding remuneration-related matters in so far as they are affected by such matters.
Derogation from the guidelines
The board of directors may temporarily resolve to derogate from the guidelines, in whole or in part, if in a specific case there is special cause for the derogation and a derogation is necessary to serve the Company’s long-term interests, including its sustainability, or to ensure the Company’s financial viability. As set out above, the board of directors’ tasks include preparing the resolutions in remuneration-related matters. This includes any resolutions to derogate from the guidelines.
Resolution regarding issue and transfer of warrants (item 14)
Background to the renewed submission of the proposal regarding issue and transfer of warrants
At the 2025 Annual General Meeting, the board of directors submitted a proposal for a long-term incentive program for key executives and employees of the Company (“LTIP 2025”), consisting of three parts: (a) adoption of the incentive program, (b) issue and transfer of warrants, and (c) authorisation for the board of directors to enter into equity swap arrangements as an alternative hedging instrument.
The Meeting resolved to adopt the proposals under item (a) and item (c). However, the proposal under item (b) regarding the issue and transfer of warrants did not achieve the qualified majority of nine-tenths of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the Meeting required for a valid resolution, and was therefore not adopted.
The board of directors considers that the ability to issue warrants and transfer warrants constitutes the most cost-efficient and appropriate way to secure the Company’s obligations and social security costs associated with LTIP 2025. The board of directors therefore resubmits the proposal regarding issue and transfer of warrants for resolution at the 2026 Annual General Meeting.
Issue and transfer of warrants
In order to ensure the delivery of shares under LTIP 2025 and for the hedging of social security costs, the board of directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to issue a maximum of 750,000 warrants, whereby the Company's share capital may be increased by not more than SEK 3,000,000 in accordance with the following:
- The right to subscribe for the warrants shall, with deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emptive rights, only vest in Sensys Gatso Sweden AB, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The reason for the deviation from the shareholders' pre-emptive rights is to enable the delivery of shares under LTIP 2025. Sensys Gatso Sweden AB shall be entitled to transfer the warrants free of charge to the participants or to a financial intermediary in connection with exercise, or in another way dispose of the warrants in order to be able to secure the Company's commitments and costs in relation to LTIP 2025.
- The warrants shall be issued free of charge and shall be subscribed for no later than 30 June 2026.
- The warrants may be exercised during the time period from the registration of the warrants with the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Sw. Bolagsverket) up to and including 31 December 2030.
- The exercise price for subscription for shares based on the warrants shall correspond to the share's quota value.
- Shares issued upon exercise of warrants shall confer right to dividend in accordance with the terms and conditions of the warrants.
- The chair of the board of directors shall be authorised to make such minor adjustments that may be required to register the issuance.
Dilution
The maximum number of shares that may be issued pursuant to an exercise of Options under LTIP 2025 is 750,000 shares (including hedging of social security costs), technically corresponding to a maximum dilution of approximately 6.5 percent. However, to promote continued share ownership and to minimise dilution, the Company will seek to meet its obligations through "net settled" arrangements, where the participant receives the net value in shares. To illustrate this, if the Company grants 90 percent of all options when the volume weighted average share price is SEK 40, the exercise price will be 10 percent higher at SEK 44 and the total number of options will be 675,000, including a 25 percent hedge for social security. If the options are settled with a corresponding number of shares the dilution will be 5.9 percent. But if the option is "net settled", only the value increase will need to be met. For example, at a 100 percent share price increase this would require 303,750 shares, or 2.6 percent dilution over a three-year period, equalling an average of 0.88 percent dilution per year.
The Company currently has one outstanding share-based incentive program. For more information, please see the Annual Report for 2025.
Scope and costs of the program
LTIP 2025 will be accounted for in accordance with "IFRS 2 – Share-based payments". IFRS 2 stipulates that the Options shall be expensed as personnel costs over the vesting period and will be accounted for directly against equity. Personnel costs in accordance with IFRS 2 do not affect the Company's cash flow.
Assuming a share price at the time of allocation of SEK 40, a volatility of 38.06 percent, a risk-free rate of return of 2.339 percent, 0 percent dividend yield, five years to exercise, a 10 percent premium for the exercise price and that all Options are vested and exercised, the annual cost for LTIP 2025 is estimated with a Black-Scholes model to approximately SEK 2.7 million per year before tax and approximately SEK 8 million over the lifespan of the program. Within these amounts, the annual and total costs for Options granted in 2026 are estimated to be approximately SEK 2.4 million and SEK 7.2 million respectively.
The social security costs associated with LTIP 2025 are covered by hedging measures through the issue of warrants, which will be exercised by a financial intermediary in connection with the exercise of the Options, and are estimated at 25 percent. The hedging measures will result in an additional dilution of the Company's current shareholders (which is included in the dilution calculations presented under the heading "Dilution" above). Under a scenario where the share price grows by 10 percent per annum and options are exercised on the vesting date, the social security cost will be approximately SEK 1.5 million including costs associated with the establishment and administration of LTIP 2025. In addition, minor brokerage costs will arise in connection with the exercise of hedging warrants by a financial intermediary.
The costs associated with LTIP 2025 are expected to have a marginal effect on the Company's key performance indicators.
A valid resolution requires that the proposal is supported by shareholders holding at least nine-tenths of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the Annual General Meeting.
Resolution to authorise the board of directors to make decisions concerning the issuance of shares (item 15)
The board of directors proposes that the Meeting authorises the board of directors, on one or more occasions during the period until the next Annual General Meeting, with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, to make decisions concerning an issuance of new shares corresponding to no more than ten (10) percent of the total number of the Company’s outstanding shares as of the date when the authorisation first is used. This authorisation is to include the right to make a decision concerning the issuance of new shares with a provision on an issue in-kind, offset or otherwise with conditions in accordance with the Swedish Companies Act.
The reason for the proposal and the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights is to allow flexibility in connection with possible further acquisitions or the raising of capital. The basis for the subscription price shall be the market price of the share.
A valid resolution requires that the proposal is supported by shareholders holding at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the Annual General Meeting.
