10. that fees be paid to the Board of Directors in the amount of SEK 1,025,000 to the Chairman of the Board and SEK 375,000 to each non-executive Board member. Compensation to members in respect of committee work shall be paid in the amount of SEK 50,000 each, with the exception of the position of Chairman of the Audit Committee, for which payment shall be made in the amount of SEK 75,000. Fees shall be paid to the auditor in accordance with approved invoices;
11. that all Board members be re-elected, i.e. Carl Bennet, Anders G. Carlberg, Olof Faxander, Sverker Martin-Löf, Marianne Nivert, Anders Nyrén, Matti Sundberg and Lars Westerberg.
12. that Sverker Martin-Löf be re-elected as Chairman of the Board of Directors;
13. that the registered accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers AB, be re-elected as auditor. (At the 2003 Annual General Meeting, the registered accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers AB, was appointed as auditor for a term until the close of the 2007 Annual General Meeting);
14. that the Chairman of the Board be authorised to invite not less than three and not more than five of the largest shareholders in terms of votes to each appoint a member who, together with the Chairman of the Board, shall constitute a Nomination Committee. The determination as to which shareholders constitute the three to five largest shareholders in terms of votes shall be based on ownership information from the VPC register as per the final day of trading in August unless, not later than the sixth weekday in September, any other shareholder gives written notice to the Chairman of the Board and proves his status as one of the three to five largest shareholders in terms of votes. If deemed appropriate as a consequence of any subsequent change in ownership structure, the Nomination Committee shall be entitled to invite additional shareholders to assume a place on the Nomination Committee; however, the total number of members shall not exceed six. The member representing the largest shareholder shall be Chairman of the Committee. The composition of the Nomination Committee shall be published not later than six months prior to the next Annual General Meeting. In the event a member of the Nomination Committee leaves the Committee before its work is completed, the Chairman of the Board of Directors shall invite the same shareholder ─ or, if the latter is no longer one of the largest shareholders, the shareholder who, in terms of size of shareholding, is next entitled ─ to appoint a replacement. Members of the Nomination Committee shall receive no fees, but any costs incurred in the course of the nomination work shall be borne by the Company. The term of office of the Nomination Committee shall extend until a new Nomination Committee is appointed.

B. The Board of Directors' proposals:

7 b and c). Disposition of profit

A dividend shall be paid in the amount of SEK 4.50 per share, with April 4, 2007 as the record date for the right to receive dividends. Payment from VPC is estimated to take place on April 11, 2007.

15. Authorisation for the Board of Directors to decide upon repurchase of the Company's own shares

The Annual General Meeting shall authorise the Board of Directors, on one or more occasions prior to the 2008 Annual General Meeting, to decide upon repurchase of the Company's own shares, which may take place both on Stockholmsbörsen (Stockholm Stock Exchange) and pursuant to a purchase offer directed to all shareholders or through a combination of these two alternatives. The maximum number of shares repurchased shall be such that shares held in treasury from time to time do not exceed 10 percent of all shares in the Company. Repurchase of shares on Stockholmsbörsen may take place only at a price within the spread between the highest bid price and lowest ask price as registered from time to time on Stockholmsbörsen. Repurchase of shares through a purchase offer directed to the Company's shareholders may take place at a purchase price which exceeds the prevailing market price. It will thereupon be possible, by means of detachable put options (Sw. säljrätter), for each shareholder to enjoy the value of the premium which may arise as a consequence of the Company repurchasing shares at a price in excess of the market price for the shares. It is intended that the put options shall be listed on Stockholmsbörsen. With respect to shareholders who inadvertently fail to participate in the purchase offer, the following procedure shall be applied in order to provide compensation to such shareholders: upon expiry of the application period but otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions of the purchase offer, a bank or a securities institution appointed by the Company shall be entitled to transfer shares and to disburse to shareholders who hold non-exercised put options the purchase price less the bank's costs. However, the compensation payable may not exceed the amount payable per put option in the event of a commission-free sale of put options. In the event foreign legal and/or administrative rules significantly impede implementation of a purchase offer in a particular country, the Board of Directors or a party appointed by the Board of Directors in its stead shall be entitled to effect a sale of put options on behalf of the affected shareholders and shall, instead, pay the cash amount received upon a sale carried out with due care, less costs incurred. The Board of Directors shall be entitled to decide on other terms and conditions for the purchase.

The purpose of the proposal is to provide the Board of Directors with an instrument to adapt and improve the Company's capital structure and thereby create added value for the shareholders. Exercise of the authorisation to repurchase shares, together with the proposed dividend, should be aimed at increasing the net debt/equity ratio to approximately 30%, which is in line with the Group's target. At present, the Company holds no shares in treasury.
16. Authorisation for the Board of Directors to decide on transfers of treasury shares

The Annual General Meeting shall authorise the Board of Directors, on one or more occasions prior to the 2008 Annual General Meeting and by way of derogation from the shareholders' pre-emption rights, to decide upon a transfer of treasury shares off Stockholmsbörsen in connection with an acquisition or expansion. Transfer may take place of all shares held in treasury on the date of the Board's decision regarding transfer pursuant to this authorisation and shall take place in exchange for consideration equal to the assessed market value, which may also comprise payment in kind. The Board of Directors shall be entitled to decide on other terms and conditions for the transfer.

Provided that the Board of Directors does not decide on a transfer of shares held in treasury in accordance with the above, the Board of Directors intends to propose to the 2008 Annual General Meeting that a resolution be adopted regarding cancellation of the treasury shares through a reduction of the Company's share capital without repayment to the shareholders.

17. Approval of guidelines for determination of salary and other compensation for the President and other senior executives

Compensation to the President and other senior executives shall consist of fixed salary, any variable compensation, other benefits and pension. “Other senior executives” means members of Group Management, currently four persons other than the President. The total compensation package shall be on market terms and conditions and competitive on the employment market on which the executive operates. Fixed salary and variable compensation shall be related to the executive's responsibilities and powers. The variable compensation shall be based on results compared with defined and measurable targets and shall not exceed an established percentage of fixed salary. Variable compensation shall not be included in the basis for pension calculation. The period of notice of termination of employment shall be six months in the event of termination by the executive. In the event of termination by the company, the total of the period of notice of termination and the period during which severance compensation is payable shall not exceed 24 months. Pension benefits shall be either benefit-based or contribution-based or a combination thereof, with individual retirement ages, however in no case earlier than the age of 60. Benefit-based pension benefits are conditional on the benefits being earned during a pre-determined period of employment. In the event the employment terminates prior to the retirement age, the executive shall receive a paid-up policy in respect of earned pension. The Board of Directors shall be entitled to deviate from the guidelines where special cause exists in a particular case.
