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 may be paid in the form of shares of series B in
Loomis with delayed payment and subject to continued employment with Loomis.

Approximately 300 employees currently participating in the Loomis incentive
scheme will participate in the Incentive Scheme and thereby be entitled to
receive a part of the annual bonus in the form of shares in Loomis, provided
that certain predetermined and measurable performance criteria, which currently
apply under the incentive schemes, are met. The existing principles relates to
result improvement and are 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 annual bonus will
be determined at the outset of 2013 and be payable by (i) 2/3 in cash at the
outset of 2013 and (ii) 1/3 in shares of series B (the “Bonus Shares”) at the
outset of 2014. 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 2014. 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 2013, on the acquisition of a
maximum of 350,000 treasury shares of series B on 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. The Board may resolve on acquisition of treasury shares within
the scope of a repurchase program in accordance with the Regulation of the
European Commission (EC) No. 2274/2003.

To be able to deliver Bonus Shares to the participants in the Incentive Scheme,
the Meeting resolved to transfer a maximum of 350,000 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.

To cover costs of withholding tax or similar taxes and fees and to be able to
dispose of treasury shares that remain unused in Loomis´ possession after the
allotment of Bonus Shares the Meeting resolved to authorize the Board of
Directors to resolve, on one or several occasions until the AGM 2013, on the
transfer of a maximum of 350,000 treasury shares of series B on NASDAQ OMX
Stockholm Exchange at a price within the price interval registered at any given
time, such interval being the interval between the highest purchase price and
the lowest sales price.

CEO comments
“In fall 2010 we presented our new strategy, along with operational and
financial goals. Our operational goals include an increased market presence in
new markets, to increase the share of comprehensive solutions and to improve
efficiency throughout the business in general and in our almost 400 branches in
particular. Among our financial targets are to achieve an operating margin of at
least 10 percent by 2014 at the latest, and to pay a dividend of 40-60 percent
of net income,” Loomis’ CEO Lars Blecko told the meeting.

“In 2011 and early 2012 we established operations in two new countries – Turkey
and Argentina. The proportion of branches that did not achieve our profitability
targets continued to reduce; and at the same time, price increases exceeded cost
increases. The operating margin for full-year 2011 increased to 8.3 percent,
demonstrating that we are on course for 10 percent, and the 53 percent dividend
is approximately in the middle of the range set.”

“I am therefore able to state that we delivered what we promised, and that we
continued to create value for our shareholders in 2011,” said Lars Blecko.

Of the acquisitions made, Lars Blecko chose to highlight the acquisition of the
Argentinean cash handling company Vigencia at the beginning of April this year.
It represents Loomis’ expansion into Latin America, which is fully in line with
the strategy presented in 2010. Lars Blecko sees Argentina as a base for further
expansion in Latin America, which offers several growth markets for cash
handling services with a low degree of outsourcing.

Lars Blecko pointed out that the market for Loomis’ services developed
positively in 2011, and that this is partly due to the fact that the amount of
cash in circulation has increased both in Europe and in the USA.

Regarding the Group’s results for 2011, Lars Blecko mentioned a number of
highlights. These included organic growth of 1 percent compared with ‑1 percent
in 2010, and an increase in real growth to 8 percent from ‑1 percent. He also
pointed out that earnings per share increased by SEK 0.23 to SEK 7.03, and that
the dividend increased by just over 7 percent to SEK 3.75.
