APPROVAL OF THE RESTRICTED SHARES AGREEMENTS WHEREBY EACH DIRECTOR IS GRANTED RESTRICTED CLASS A SHARES AND CLASS B SHARES OF THE COMPANY (item 8) The Nomination Committee and the Board of Directors propose to the Meeting that, going forward, the Directors' fees be composed of (a) a payment in cash and (b) a payment in kind consisting of the grant of restricted Class A shares and Class B shares of the Company. The restricted shares will be subject to a one-year holding period. The aggregate number of restricted shares to be allocated to each Director will be determined at the occasion of each AGM. The new remuneration policy will be effective as from the Meeting. In order to implement this new remuneration policy in respect of the period until the end of the next AGM to be held in 2008, the Nomination Committee and the Board of Directors propose that the Company enters into a restricted shares agreement with each Director whereby each Director of the Company is granted the right to receive restricted Class A shares and Class B shares, for no consideration other than their remuneration as a Director of the Company (each a Restricted Shares Agreement). The following principles will be applicable under each Restricted Shares Agreement. Part of the Directors' fees overall amount for the period until the end of the next AGM to be held in 2008 shall be paid in cash to the Directors and part of this overall amount shall be represented by restricted Class A and Class B shares. The number of restricted Class A and Class B shares to be allocated to the Directors shall be determined on the basis of the volume weighted average price of the Class A shares and the Class B shares during a period of 10 trading days on the Stockholm Stock Exchange, such period starting on and including the day of the holding of the AGM. The restricted Class A and Class B shares cannot be transferred by the Directors during the period of one year as from the date of grant of the restricted Class A and Class B shares. The Company, and the Company's subsidiaries have the right to purchase the restricted Class A and Class B shares for EUR 1 (one Euro) per restricted share if the Director ceases to be a Director within this one-year period because of (i) his/her wilful misconduct or (ii) his/her resignation. If the Director ceases to be a Director of the Company for any other reasons within the holding period (including his/her death), the transfer restrictions regarding the restricted Class A and Class B shares shall terminate subject to Board approval. In the case of a change of control, the transfer restrictions regarding the restricted Class A and Class B shares shall also terminate. The Nomination Committee and the Board of Directors propose that the Meeting approves the principles of the Restricted Shares Agreements that are set out above, and the entry into and performance under the Restricted Shares Agreements by the Company on or around the date hereof. DIRECTORS' FEES (item 9) The Nomination Committee proposes that the Meeting resolves that the fees for the members of the Board of Directors for the period until the end of the next AGM to be held in 2008 be a total of EUR 275,000, and with such amount to be split as follows: Mr William Walker, Chairman, fees in an amount of EUR 95,000; Mr James Beers, Chairman of the Audit Committee, fees in an amount of EUR 50,000; Mr Roel Louwhoff, fees in an amount of EUR 45,000; Ms Cristina Stenbeck, fees in an amount of EUR 42,500; and Ms Mia Brunell, fees in an amount of EUR 42,500.

The purpose of the authorisation is so that the Board of Directors obtains increased freedom to act and obtains the ability to continuously adapt the Company's capital structure and thereby contribute to increased shareholder value as well as have the ability to finance future acquisitions. To Board of Directors further proposes to the Meeting that the acquisitions, disposals, exchanges, contributions and transfers of Class A and Class B shares can be carried out by all means, on the Stockholm Stock Exchange or off the market, including by a public offer to buy back shares or by the use of derivatives or option strategies.

The Board of Directors proposes to the Meeting that the authorization will be valid for a period up to the AGM to be held in 2008. The Board of Directors proposes to the Meeting that the maximum number of Class A and Class B shares that can be acquired is the maximum allowed by the Law in such a manner that the par value of the Class A and Class B shares held by the Company (or other companies in the Transcom group of companies referred to in article 49bis of the Law) cannot in any event exceed 10 per cent of its subscribed share capital. The Board of Directors proposes to the Meeting that the purchase of the Class A and Class B shares may only occur at a price within the share price interval quoted on the Stockholm Stock Exchange, where share price interval means the difference between the highest buying price and lowest selling price during the given period and subject to the terms of this buy back plan.
