The AGM resolved, in accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors, to
authorize the Board to decide, on one or several occasions up to the AGM 2015,
on the transfer of the company’s own shares, for the purpose of enabling BE
Group to finance minor company acquisitions. Transfer of shares may be made with
deviation from the shareholders’ preferential right of maximum 538,381 shares,
equivalent to the company's existing holding of own shares. Transfer of shares
may take place as payment of whole or part of the purchase price at the
acquisition of a company or business or part of a company or business, and the
consideration shall be equal to the assessed market value of the share. On such
transfer, payment may be made by assets contributed in kind or by set-off of a
claim against BE Group. Transfer may also be made against cash payment by sale
on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm, at a price within the price interval that may be
registered at any given time, i.e. the interval between the highest purchase
price and the lowest sales price at the time of transfer. The Board of Directors
shall be entitled to determine the other terms and conditions of the transfer.
