from last year by a total of SEK 110,000, of which SEK 50,000 to the chairman
and SEK 15,000 to each of the Board members elected by the meeting. A total fee

independent in relation to the company and the senior management team, but he
can be considered independent in relation to the major shareholders. The other
proposed Board members can be considered independent in relation to the company,
the senior management team and the major shareholders. The nominations
committee’s justifications for these proposals and information about the
proposed Board members are available on the company’s website, www.semcon.se.

Point 17. Election of auditors, deputy auditors or registered public accounting
firms

The 2013 AGM elected Deloitte AB as auditors of the company up to the time of
the end of the 2014 AGM. The nominations committee proposes that the registered
public accounting firm Deloitte AB be re-elected as the company’s auditor for a
period of one year.

Point 18. Decision regarding the nominations committee

The nominations committee proposes, as last year, that the company shall have a
nominations committee, that no remuneration be paid to the committee although
the company shall pay the costs of the committee, and that there be a
nominations process with the following content. The nominations committee shall
comprise the chairman of the Board and three, or in some cases four, additional
members. Based on the shareholder statistics on 31 August, the chairman shall
contact the three largest shareholders (based on number of votes) and ask each
of them to appoint one member of the nominations committee. If a shareholder
declines this offer, the offer shall be made to the next largest shareholder.
The member proposed by the shareholder holding the most votes shall act as
chairman of the nominations committee. If there are changes in the shareholder
structure after 31 August and earlier than two months before the AGM, and if a
shareholder consequently becomes one of the three largest shareholders and
wishes to be represented on the nominations committee, then this shareholder
shall have the right to either appoint an additional committee member or, if the
nominations committee so decides, to appoint a representative to replace the
representative of the shareholder who has the least number of votes after the
ownership changes. If a member of the nominations committee resigns or is unable
to fulfill his or her obligations, then the chairman shall without delay ask the
shareholder to appoint a new representative within a reasonable time. If the
shareholder declines to replace a representative the place on the committee
shall be offered to

the next largest shareholder who has not already appointed a representative or
who has refrained from doing so. The nominations committee shall perform the
duties that from time to time arise in accordance with Swedish Code of Corporate
Governance. The duties of the nominations committee include making proposals for
(i) chairman of the AGM, (ii) chairman of the Board and other Board members,
(iii) fees and other remuneration for Board assignments for each Board member,
(iv) fees for auditors, (v) selection of auditors and (vi) fees for members of
the nomination committee and proposals for the nomination process in general.

Point 19. Decision regarding guidelines for determining salaries and other
remuneration to senior executives

The Board proposes that the meeting establish guidelines for determining
salaries and other remuneration to senior executives with the following main
content. The company shall have a remuneration level and other employment terms
that are needed to recruit and keep key decision makers with the right skills
and capabilities to achieve the company’s objectives. Total remuneration – made
up of various components such as fixed salary, bonus, participation in share
-linked incentive scheme, pension benefits and other remuneration and benefits –
shall be reasonable, competitive and market-based, and shall be decided with
regard to, among other things, performance, position and importance for the
Group. Fixed salary shall be paid for satisfactory work and shall normally be
reviewed once a year. A bonus shall be offered, but shall be primarily based on
results and bonus targets, established once a year, and be a maximum of 6
months’ salary. Senior executives shall be given the right to arrange individual
pension solutions under certain provisions via salary or bonus waivers. Pension
solutions shall be premium-based. Notice of dismissal from the company’s side
shall be at most 12 months. Dismissal salary and severance compensation combined
shall not exceed 12 months’ salary. In addition, other remuneration and benefits
may be offered to facilitate possibilities to complete work assignments. The
Board has the right to deviate from these guidelines in individual cases if
there is good reason. To ensure continuity, the Board’s proposals are in line
with previous years’ remuneration principles and agreements.

Point 20. Decision to authorize the Board to decide on new issues of ordinary
shares

The reason for the proposal, the main content of which is presented below, and
the reason for deviating from preferential rights for existing shareholders, is
that the Board wishes to create cost-efficient and flexible opportunities for
making payments for acquisitions of companies or businesses or parts thereof.

The Board proposes that the meeting authorize the Board to decide, on one or
more occasions prior to the next AGM, on a new share issue with deviation from
existing shareholders’ rights, of at most a total of 1,811,253 ordinary shares
in Semcon to be used as liquidity in the financing or acquisition of companies
or businesses or parts thereof, at which time the subscription price shall
correspond to the share’s assessed market value. Payment for the shares shall be
in capital contributed in kind. On full utilization of the authorization to
issue new shares, the total number of shares and votes in the company can
increase by 1,811,253, representing dilution of around 10% of current shares and
votes.

Point 21. Decision to authorize the Board to decide on (a) acquisitions of
ordinary shares and (b) transfer of ordinary shares

The reason for the proposal, the main content of which is presented below and
the reason for deviating from preferential rights for existing shareholders, is
that the Board wishes to create cost-efficient and flexible opportunities to
improve the company’s capital structure and thus improve the share value and to
make payments for or financing acquisitions of companies or businesses or parts
thereof.

(a) – Authorization for Board to decide on acquisitions of ordinary shares

The Board proposes that the meeting authorize the Board to decide, prior to the
next AGM, on the purchase of ordinary shares on the OMX Nordic Exchange
Stockholm or through purchase offers directed to all owners

of ordinary shares. Purchases of shares on each occasion shall be a maximum,
after the purchase, of 10% of

all shares in the company, purchases on the stock exchange shall be at a price
within the current share price range or, for cases where the board commissions a
stock exchange member with the task of accumulating a certain amount of the
company’s shares over a certain timeframe, at a price in line with the specific
share price at the time, or at the equivalent volume-weighted average price
paid, acquired through offers at a price that is, at most, a price equivalent to
the market price at the time of the offer with an additional maximum of 20% and
payment shall be in cash.

(b) – Authorization for Board to decide on transfer of ordinary shares

The Board proposes that the meeting authorize the Board to decide, prior to the
next AGM, on the transfer of ordinary shares to be as liquidity for the
acquisitions of companies or businesses or parts thereof. Transfers on each
occasion may be of the total number of ordinary shares owned by the company
(except for ordinary shares generated through conversion of C shares), transfer
may be made with deviation from preferential rights of existing shareholders, at
a price corresponding to the share’s assessed market value, and payment for the
shares shall be with capital contributed in kind or through settlement of a
receivable.

Special majority requirement

For a decision relating to points 20 and 21 to be valid requires the respective
decision must be supported by shareholders with a minimum of two-thirds of the
voting rights and shares represented at the meeting.

Disclosures at the meeting

Board doesn’t consider it to have a negative impact on the company, provide
