Authorization of the Board to resolve on acquisition of the company’s shares
The Annual General Meeting resolved to authorize the Board to resolve upon
acquisition of the company’s own shares of Series B, in accordance with the
Board’s proposal, according the following terms: Acquisition of shares may take
place on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm, acquisition of shares may take place on one or
several occasions during the time up to the AGM for 2015, acquisition of shares
may only be made so that the shares held by the company at any point in time

shares shall be made at a price which falls within the prevailing price interval
registered at each point in time, meaning the interval between the highest
purchase price and the lowest selling price, payment for acquired shares shall
be made in cash, and the Board should be authorized to decide upon any
additional terms for the acquisition. The purpose of the proposed authorization
to acquire shares is to allow the Board to adjust the company’s capital
structure, to contribute to shareholder value. If shares are repurchased, the
Board intends to propose that the company’s share capital shall be decreased
through share reduction of the repurchased shares.

Guidelines for remuneration to management
The Annual General Meeting resolved on the adoption of guidelines for
remuneration to management, principally entailing that entails that the total
remuneration shall be competitive and in accordance with market conditions. The
benefits shall consist of fixed salary, possible variable remuneration and other
customary benefits and pension. The variable remuneration shall have an upper
limit and be related to the fixed salary. The variable remuneration shall be
based on the outcome in relation to set targets and be in line with the
interests of the shareholders. Pension benefits shall be fee-based and pension
rights shall be applicable as from the age of 65, at the earliest. The variable
remuneration shall not be pension qualifying unless local regulations provide
otherwise. The Board shall have the right to deviate from the guidelines in
individual cases if there are particular grounds for such deviation.The complete
guidelines are published on the company website www.securitas.com/remuneration
-senior-management.

Incentive scheme
The Annual General Meeting resolved on a share and cash bonus scheme, a similar
incentive scheme that has been decided for the past four Annual General
Meetings. The Board notes that the program is now well established throughout
the organization and is delivering the expected results. As per March 2014, a
total of 1,524 employees have received shares through the program.  In keeping
with the Board’s communicated intention when the previous programs were
proposed, the Board therefore proposes that a similar incentive scheme be
adopted by the AGM in 2014.
The motive for the proposal is the Board’s intention to continue with the
redesigned bonus structure to enable the Group to gradually have approximately
2,500 of Securitas top managers as shareholders, thus strengthening the employee
ownership in Securitas’ future success and development to the benefit of all
shareholders. The Board is of the opinion that these benefits may be achieved by
continuing to provide a share related part in the existing performance-based
cash bonus schemes. It is the assessment of the Board that the scheme will also
increase the Group’s attractiveness as an employer.
The proposal principally entails that 1/3 of any annual bonus earned under the
performance based cash bonus schemes would be converted into a right to receive
shares, with delayed allotment and subject to continued employment.

CEO Comments
President and CEO Alf Göransson reported on Securitas operations during. The
presentation is published at www.securitas.com/agm2014. The quotas below refer
to the strategy direction of the company:

“The security industry is currently undergoing the most exciting change it has
faced for a long time, as traditional guarding is gradually, but increasingly,
being transformed. And what is even more exciting is that Securitas is leading
this paradigm shift. Our strategy is clear: to integrate on-site, remote and
mobile guarding services with technology solutions to achieve cost-efficiency,
added value, longer customer relations, improved earnings and increased
shareholder value..“

“Not only will the profitability of our existing portfolio improve, our strategy
will also enable us to capture market shares, particularly from smaller and mid
-sized competitors that are not strong enough to invest in competence and
capital expenditure. In combination, we are confident that this strategy will
help us achieve our annual earnings per share growth target of 10 percent.”
