Guidelines for remuneration to senior executives

The AGM resolved on the adoption of guidelines for remuneration to senior
executives principally entailing that the remuneration shall consist of a basic
salary, a variable remuneration, other benefits and pension and all in all be
competitive and in accordance with market practice. The variable remuneration
shall be maximized to 60 per cent in relation to the basic salary, related to
the earnings trend which the relevant individual may influence and based on the
outcome in relation to individual targets. The Board shall annually consider
whether a share- or share price related incentive program shall be proposed to
the Annual General Meeting.

The notice period shall normally be six months on the part of the employee. In
case of notice of termination by the company, the notice period and the period
during which severance payment is paid shall, all in all, not exceed 24 months.
The pension rights shall be either benefit or fee-based, or a combination of
both, with an individual pension age, however, not lower than 60 years.

Authorisation of the Board to resolve on acquisition and transfer of the
company's shares

The AGM resolved to authorise the Board of Directors to, on one or several
occasions during the time period until the next annual general meeting, resolve
on the acquisition and transfer of the company's own shares. Acquisitions and
transfers may thereby be made of no more than such number of shares which from
time to time represent 10 per cent of the total number of shares in the company.
Acquisitions may be made on the NASDAQ OMX Stockholm at the stock-exchange
quotation applicable at the time of acquisition. Transfer may take place with
deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights at NASDAQ OMX Stockholm as
well as to a third party in connection with the acquisition of a company or
business. Payment for shares transferred shall be made in cash, by contribution
in kind or by set-off. Transfer in connection with the acquisition of a company
may take place at a market value appraised by the Board of Directors. The
purpose of the authorisation is to give the Board of Directors the opportunity
to adjust the company's capital structure and to finance acquisitions by
utilisation of the company's own shares.
