Item 14 – Resolution on policies regulating the appointment of the Nomination
Committee and its work
The Nomination Committee proposes that unchanged principles for the appointment
of the Nomination Committee to those adopted at the 2013 AGM apply until the
2015 Annual General Meeting:

1. Annually and not later than the end of the third quarter every year, the
Chairman of the Board of Directors convenes the three largest shareholders or
shareholder groups (this includes directly registered and trustee-registered
shareholders) in the Company, as registered at August 31 according to Euroclear
Sweden AB, which are then each entitled to appoint one member of the Nomination
Committee. The appointee in question should not be a Board member. If any of the
three largest shareholders wishes to refrain from a place on the Committee, the
place on the Committee is offered in turn to the next-largest shareholder. In
addition to the above, the Chairman of the Board can be appointed to the
Nomination Committee. If any shareholder should waive their right to appoint a
member of the Nomination Committee, only the five largest shareholders need to
be asked unless this would result in the Nomination Committee consisting of less
than its minimum of three members (including, where applicable, the Chairman of
the Board of Directors). The President and senior executives of the Company
should not be members of the Nomination Committee.

2. The Chairman of the Board is the convener of the first meeting of the
Nomination Committee and an owner representative should be appointed as Chairman
of the Nomination Committee. The Nomination Committee should prepare written
rules of procedure to govern its work. The mandate period of the Nomination
Committee extends until such time as a new Nomination Committee has been
appointed.

3. The composition of the Nomination Committee must be announced a minimum of
six months prior to the AGM, thereby providing all shareholders with information
regarding which individuals to contact regarding nomination issues.

4. If shareholders have been added among the three largest shareholders after
the Nomination Committee has held it statutory meeting, said shareholders may
contact the Chairman of the Nomination Committee to make a request to appoint a
member of the Committee. The Chairman of the Nomination Committee must then
inform the other Committee members of this wish. If the ownership change is not
insignificant, the member appointed by the shareholder that is no longer among
the three largest shareholders should vacate his position and the new
shareholder can then be permitted to appoint a member. However, the structure of
the Nomination Committee should not be changed less than two months prior to the
Annual General Meeting. Changes in the Nomination Committee are announced
immediately.

5. The Nomination Committee should prepare and submit proposals to the AGM in
respect of:
• the election of the Chairman of the AGM;
• the election of the Chairman of the Board of Directors and other Board members
on the Company’s Board of Directors;
• Directors’ fees specified between the Chairman of the Board of Directors and
other Board members;
• the election of and approval of fees to the auditor and deputy auditor (where
applicable); and
• resolutions on policies regulating the appointment of the Nomination Committee
(where applicable).

6. No fees are payable to members of the Nomination Committee. The Nomination
Committee is entitled to charge the Company with expenses including the cost of
recruitment consultants or other expenses required for the Nomination Committee
to fully execute its assignment.

Item 15 – Resolution on guidelines for the remuneration of senior executives
The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM passes a resolution on the
following guidelines for determining remuneration and other terms of employment
for the President (the “President”) and other senior executives (“Senior
Executives”). The proposal for guidelines for determining remuneration and other
terms of employment for the President and Senior Executives is, essentially, the
same as those guidelines adopted at the 2013 AGM, with the exception that no
proposed option program is included in the proposal.

The overriding policies for remuneration of Senior Executives are that
remuneration should reflect the position, the individual’s performance and the
Group’s earnings, and be market-based and competitive in the country of
employment. Total remuneration to Senior Executives should comprise a fixed
salary, variable salary in the form of Short-Term Incentives (STIs) based on
annual performance targets, Long-Term Incentives (LTIs) based on performance
over a multi-year period as well as pension and other benefits. In addition to
the aforementioned come the terms for notice of termination and severance pay.
Fixed salaries should be set below median market rates, however, total
remuneration, including STIs and LTIs, should enable median market salaries to
be exceeded. Total remuneration should be reviewed annually to ensure that it
reflects market rates and is competitive. Comparisons should take into
consideration the position, the Company’s size, the level of salary and the
individual’s experience.

Fixed salary
Fixed salary comprises the basis for total remuneration. The fixed salary should
relate to the relevant market and reflect the scope of the responsibility
entailed by the position.

Variable salary (Short Term Incentives “STI”)
In addition to their fixed salaries, Senior Executives should receive STIs for
performance that surpasses one or more predetermined performance targets during
the fiscal year. Remuneration from the STI program is limited to a maximum of
100% of the fixed salary for the President and 30% of fixed salary for other
management, which means that Byggmax can immediately calculate the maximum
variable remuneration level. STIs are measured with qualitative and quantitative
measures. The maximum cost of the Byggmax Group’s STI program is estimated to
amount to SEK 4.0 million (excluding social security contributions).

Long Term Incentives “LTI”
The 2011 AGM resolved on a long-term incentive program in the form of a warrants
-based incentive program. This incentive program is described in Note 9 of the
2013 Annual Report and can be viewed on the Company’s website, www.byggmax.se.

The 2013 AGM resolved on an additional long-term incentive program in the form
of a warrants-based incentive program. This incentive program is described in
Note 9 of the 2013 Annual Report and can be viewed on the Company’s website,
www.byggmax.se.

Pension
Where possible, pension agreements should be premium-based and designed in
accordance with the levels and practices applicable in the country where the
Senior Executive is employed.

Other benefits
Other benefits may apply in accordance with the terms applicable for the country
of employment of the Senior Executive. However, all such benefits should be as
limited in scope as possible and are not permitted to comprise a significant
proportion of total remuneration.

Notice period and severance pay
Senior Executives should be offered terms complying with prevailing legislation
and practices in the country of employment of the Senior Executive. During the
notice period, Senior Executives should be prevented from working in a competing
business. In specific cases, a non-compete clause against continued compensation
is applicable for a period of up to 24 months after termination of the notice
period. At present, the longest notice period in the Byggmax Group is 12 months
and no severance pay agreement exists in any employment contract.

The Board has the right to deviate from the aforementioned guidelines if the
Board deems that it is motivated in specific cases.

Information concerning the AGM
The Board of Directors and the President must, if a shareholder so requests and
the Board of Directors considers it possible without this resulting in material
damage to the Company, provide information concerning, conditions that could
influence the assessment of an item on the agenda, conditions that could
influence assessments of the financial condition of the Company or subsidiaries
and the company’s relationship to other Group companies.

Documentation for the Annual General Meeting
The financial statements and auditors’ report, the auditors’ opinion on the
application of guidelines for the remuneration of Senior Executives, a complete
set of proposals for the resolutions, and, where applicable, reasoned opinions
as well as other documents pursuant to the Companies Act will be available from
the Company at Armégatan 40 in Solna, Sweden, and on the Company’s website,
www.byggmax.se, not later than three weeks before the AGM, that is, not later
than April 17, 2014. Copies of the documents are sent to shareholders who have
requested this and provided their postal address. The documents will also be
available at the AGM.
