Nomination Committee's proposals (Items 10 - 15 on the agenda) 
In accordance with a resolution by IBS' 2007 Annual General Meeting, a
Nomination Committee has been formed comprising the Chairman of the Board and
representatives of the four largest shareholders on September 30, 2007. The
resolution by the Meeting stipulated that significant ownership changes that
occurred during the fourth quarter should be taken into account. In view of the
change of chairman of the Board and major ownership changes Dr. Pallab
Chatterjee has replaced Johan Björklund and Rishi Bajaj, Silverpoint Capital has
replaced Henrik Jonsson of Catella Investments. 

Accordingly, the Nomination Committee comprises George Ho (chairman), Deccan
Value Advisors, Henrik Strömbom, Case Asset Management, Rikard Svensson, Arvid
Svensson Invest ASI, Rishi Bajaj, Silverpoint Capital and Dr. Pallab Chatterjee,
Chairman of the Board of IBS. The Nomination Committee proposes the following. 

Resolution regarding number of members of the Board of Directors (Item 11 on the

The Nomination Committee proposes six Board members and no deputy members. 

Director fees/audit fees (Item 12 on the agenda) 
The Nomination Committee proposes the following director fees (provided that the
proposed board members are elected): SEK 600,000 to the Chairman of the Board,
Dr. Pallab Chatterjee , SEK 200,000 to each of Vinit Bodas, Bo Pettersson and
Fredrik Svensson and SEK 250,000 to each of Gunnel Duveblad and Bertrand Sciard.
Dr. Pallab Chatterjee is to be paid an additional SEK 150,000 as travel-time
compensation, since he is based in Dallas, Texas, USA. Finally, supplementary
fees amounting to at most SEK 300,000 will be distributed to the members of the
Board of Directors appointed to committees according to the Board's decisions.
Accordingly, total director fees will amount to not more than SEK  2,150,000.
It is proposed, as previously, that the fees paid to the auditors be based on
separate invoices.

Vinit Bodas (re-election)

Gunnel Duveblad (re-election)

Bo Pettersson was born in 1958 and is president of Case Investment AB. He is
also chairman of the board of Case Asset Management AB and board member of E
Öhman J:or Investment AB and Sjöö Sandström Sweden AB.

The Nomination Committee proposes Dr. Pallab Chatterjee as Chairman of the
Board. 
Election of Auditors of the Company (Item 14 on the agenda)
The Nomination Committee proposes that KPMG Bohlin AB be elected as auditors of
the company. KPMG has informed the company that Åsa Wirén Linder will be
responsible for the audit.

Resolution on Nomination Committee (Item 15 on the agenda) 
The Nomination Committee proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolve on the
following procedure for the appointment of a Nomination Committee ahead of the
next Annual General Meeting. 

It is proposed that the Nomination Committee shall consist of the Chairman of
the Board plus one representative for each of the four largest shareholders. As
soon as possible after the close of September, the Chairman of the Board will
contact the company's four largest shareholders, each of whom will be entitled
to appoint a member of the Nomination Committee. If any of the four largest
shareholders declines the right to appoint a member of the Nomination Committee,
the next largest shareholder in turn will be given an opportunity to appoint a
member of the Nomination Committee. If several shareholders decline, no more
than the eight largest shareholders need be consulted, as required to ensure
that the Nomination Committee consists of at least four members (including the
Chairman of the Board). If the ownership structure should change as of the end
of the fourth quarter, the composition of the Nomination Committee must, if
possible, be adapted to reflect the new ownership structure. Subsequent changes
in ownership shall not occasion any change in the composition of the Nomination
Committee. Shareholders who have appointed a member of the Nomination Committee
have the right to discharge such a member and appoint a new member of the
Nomination Committee. In the event that a member representing a shareholder
leaves the Nomination Committee and the shareholder does not appoint a new
member, the next largest shareholder will be given an opportunity to appoint a
member of the Nomination Committee in the manner described above. 

The Nomination Committee's chairman shall be elected by and from among the
committee members, but may not be the Chairman of the Board. The Nomination
Committee shall serve until such time as a new Nomination Committee is
appointed. The Code of Corporate Governance shall constitute the guidelines for
the Nomination Committee's work. 

Information regarding the composition of the Nomination Committee (including the
names of the members and the shareholders that they represent) shall be
announced as soon as the Nomination Committee is appointed. Changes in the
composition of the Nomination Committee shall be announced as soon as such
changes occur. 

The Nomination Committee is assigned to prepare and present proposals regarding
Chairman of the Board and Members of the Board to the 2009 Annual General
Meeting. The Nomination Committee is also assigned to propose the fees to be
paid to the Chairman of the Board, Members of the Board and auditors, and to
submit proposals regarding the process for appointing a new Nomination
Committee.

Approval of the Board of Directors' motion concerning guidelines for the
remuneration of senior executives (Item 16 on the agenda) 
The Board's motion concerning guidelines for the remuneration of senior
executives is intended to ensure that, from a global perspective, IBS is able to
offer market-based and competitive remuneration that is sufficient to attract
and retain skilled employees to IBS' Group management. 

All senior executives receive remuneration in accordance with the following
principle: fixed salary, target-related salary, maximum salary and long term
incentive programs. These various increments are intended to create a
well-balanced remuneration and benefits program that reflects the skills,
experience and performance of the individuals concerned. 

The fixed salary, which is individual and differentiated, is revised annually. 

Total remuneration shall comprise the following increments: (i) fixed basic
salary; (ii) variable salary; (iii) pension benefits; (iv) other benefits; and
(v) severance terms. The variable salary shall be paid in accordance with the
attainment of earnings-related targets for the company as a whole and with
earnings-related targets for the individual employee or unit. The variable
salary shall not exceed 70 percent of fixed basic salary. 

The Board shall be entitled to disregard the guidelines resolved by the Annual
General Meeting if there are special reasons for doing so in individual cases. 

The circle of executives covered by the motion comprises the President and Chief
Executive Officer and other members of Group management.

The Board's proposal regarding Incentive Program and on transfer of the
Company's own shares (Item 17 on the agenda) 
The Board proposes that the Meeting approve a call option program for the
Company's President and other members of the management group and certain key
employees (in total about 20 persons). The call option program shall comprise a
maximum of 2,240,000 options, each of which will carry entitlement to receive a
cash amount corresponding to the listed share price of the company's B share,
less the exercise price at the time of exercise of the option. The board shall
execute the program prior to the expiry of the present fiscal year.
The duration for the call options shall be at most three years and 14 days from
the time of the Board's resolution to execute the program. The options may be
exercised during the last 14 days of the duration of the program. The exercise
price shall be determined as a price equal to 150 per cent of the average volume
weighed closing price for the company's B-share at the OMX Nordic Exchange
during a period of 10 trading days following the Board's resolution to execute
the program. The options will be cash settled and will not entitle to delivery
of B shares in the company.
It shall be possible to acquire the options at an assessed market price in
accordance with the generally accepted valuation model (Black & Scholes). The
options shall be fully transferable and are after acquisition not linked to
employment. 
As a consequence of the above proposal the Board proposes that in conjunction
with the exercise of the options, with waiver of the preferential rights of
shareholders, the Company may transfer a maximum of 2,240,000 B shares in the
Company at a sales price which is equivalent to the above mentioned exercise
price. The number of shares and the sales price of shares comprised by this
decision may need to be re-calculated as a result of e.g. bonus issues, shares
splits, reversed share splits, issues of new shares and similar measures.
Detailed terms and conditions for the incentive programme and the options will
be included in the Board's complete proposal.
The decision by the Meeting in accordance with this point 17 is valid only if it
is supported by shareholders with at least two thirds of the votes cast and the
shares represented at the Meeting.
