Euroclear Sweden AB is expected to commence on May 7, 2010.

Guidelines for remuneration to management
The Annual General Meeting resolved on the adoption of guidelines for
remuneration to management, principally entailing that the remuneration and
terms of employment shall be competitive and in accordance with market
conditions, in order to ensure that the Loomis Group will be able to attract and
keep competent management employees. The guidelines principally entail that the
total remuneration to management shall consist of fixed salary, possible
variable remuneration and other customary benefits and pension. The variable
remuneration shall have an upper limit and be based on pre-determined targets.
Pension rights for management employees shall be applicable as from the age of
65, at the earliest. All group management employees shall be comprised by
fee-based pension plans. The Board shall be entitled to deviate from the
guidelines in individual cases if there are particular grounds for such
deviation. The complete guidelines are published on the company website.



Incentive Scheme
The Meeting resolved, in accordance with the Board proposal, on the
implementation of a share and cash based incentive scheme (the “Incentive
Scheme”). The implementation of the Incentive Scheme principally entails that
1/3 of any annual bonus earned under the performance based cash bonus schemes,
after a 20 per cent increase of the potential maximum amount, will be converted
into a right to receive shares, with delayed allotment and subject to continued
employment. In connection herewith, the salaries will be frozen during 2010 (to
the extent possible with regard to local rules and undertakings). Thereafter the
salaries will be subject to customary revisions. 

Approximately 350 employees now participating in the Loomis cash bonus schemes
will participate in the Incentive Scheme and thereby be entitled to receive a
part of the yearly bonus in the form of shares in Loomis, provided that certain
predetermined and measurable performance criteria, which currently apply under
the cash bonus schemes, are met. The existing principles include clearly
measurable, performance based targets set as close to the local business as
possible and aim for long term profitability of the group.

Provided that the applicable performance criteria are met, the yearly bonus will
be determined at the outset of 2011 and be payable by (i) 2/3 in cash at the
outset of 2011 and (ii) 1/3 in shares of series B (the “Bonus Shares”) at the
outset of 2012. The number of shares to which each participant will be entitled
shall be determined by the ratio between the available bonus and the share price
at the time of determination of the bonus. Distribution of Bonus Shares in
accordance with (ii) presupposes that the participant is employed by Loomis as
of the last day of February 2012. If the total accrued bonus amounts to less EUR
4,200, the whole bonus will be paid out in cash in accordance with (i) above.

Furthermore, in order to enable Loomis' delivery of Bonus Shares in accordance
with the Incentive Scheme, the Meeting resolved to authorize the Board to
resolve, on one or several occasions until the AGM 2011, on the acquisition of a
maximum of 280,000 treasury shares of series B on the NASDAQ OMX Stockholm
Exchange at a price within the price interval that may be registered at any
given time, referring to the interval between the highest purchase price and the
lowest selling price.

To be able to deliver Bonus Shares to the participants in the Incentive Scheme,
the Meeting resolved to transfer a maximum of 280,000 treasury shares of series
B. The right to acquire shares shall accrue to participants in the Incentive
Scheme. The transfer of shares shall take place free of charge.

CEO comments
In his address to the Annual General Meeting, Loomis' CEO Lars Blecko stated
that the intensive change program, conducted in the Group during 2009, has been
successful, even if a great deal of work still remains to be done.

Through the streamlining and adapting of the organization, and thus of the
costs,  to the scope of the operations, we were able to improve income by 12
percent for 2009, compared to 2008. The operating margin, currently our most
important key ratio, also increased to 7 percent in 2009, Lars Blecko noted. He
also highlighted the fact that due to this increase, in combination with the
fact that the margin for the fourth quarter surpassed 8 percent, the Company
deems the premises for reaching the previously communicated target of an 8
percent operating margin for the full year 2010 to be good.      
  
Lars Blecko also noted that due to the increased efficiency at a large number of
the branch offices, these improvements have been achieved in spite of the major
economic downturn and a relatively weak market in the countries in which Loomis
operates.

When Lars Blecko turned his attention to the operations' future focus, he
described the Group's service strategy, which is centered on offering more
integrated services, that is, that Loomis will aim at taking care of customers'
cash management requirements in their entirety, and not, as currently occurs in
many cases, providing only cash transport. 

Regarding the first quarter of 2010, Lars Blecko stated that the market for cash
handling displays a trend towards stability, primarily in Europe, and that the
operating margin improved by nearly one percentage point, to 6.5 percent,
compared to the first quarter 2009.
