ownership information from Euroclear Sweden AB's (formerly VPC AB) register as
per the final day of trading in August (grouped by owner) unless, not later than
the sixth weekday in September, any other shareholder gives written notice to

14.	Approval of guidelines for determination of salaries 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 the Group Executive Committee, currently eight
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 authority.  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, other than in those
cases where so provided in the rules of a general pension plan (e.g. the Swedish
ITP plan). For senior executives outside Sweden, all or part of the variable
compensation may be included in the basis for pension calculation due to
legislation or competitive practice on the local market. For detailed
information regarding current compensation, reference is made to note 2 in the
annual report for 2008.

Consultant fees may be payable insofar as any director performs work on behalf
of the Company, in addition to the Board work. 

The period of notice of termination of employment for senior executives in
Sweden 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 for earned pension. For senior
executives outside Sweden, the termination period and severance compensation may
vary due to legislation or competitive practice on the local market.

The Board of Directors shall be entitled to deviate from the guidelines where
special reasons exist in an individual case. 


15.	Amendment of the by-laws
The Board of Directors proposes that Article 1 of the by-laws be amended.
Current wording: “The Company's name is SSAB Svenskt Stål Aktiebolag (publ). The
Company's name in English is SSAB Swedish Steel Corporation.” Proposed wording:
“The Company's name is SSAB AB. The Company is a public company (publ). The
Company's name in English is SSAB Corporation.”
