Gerd Tenzer has declined re-election. The Nomination Committee proposes that Tom Nyman is re-elected as Chairman of the Board of Directors. Item 14, Election of auditor The Nomination Committee proposes that PwC, with the authorised public accountant Johan Engstam as auditor in charge, is appointed as auditor for a term until the close of the Annual General Meeting 2016.

Item 16, Resolution on the Nomination Committee for the Annual General Meeting The Nomination Committee proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves upon the adoption of the following guidelines for appointment of the Nominating Committee. The guidelines shall apply until a resolution regarding change of the procedure for nominating the Nomination Committee is resolved by the General Meeting. The Company shall have a Nomination Committee consisting of four members; one to be appointed by each of the three shareholders or group of shareholders controlling the greatest number of votes and the Chairman of the Board of Directors. The Chairman of the Nomination Committee shall be the member who has been appointed by the shareholder controlling the greatest number of votes, unless the members decide differently. The Nomination Committee shall be formed based on shareholding statistics from Euroclear as per the last banking day in August the year before the Annual General Meeting, and other information on shareholding which is available to the Company at that point in time. The names of the members and the names of the shareholders they have been appointed by shall be announced as soon as they have been appointed. If, during the Nomination Committee's term of office, one or more shareholders who have appointed a member/members to the Nomination Committee no longer are among the three shareholders controlling the greatest number of votes, the members appointed by such shareholder(s) shall resign and be replaced by a new member/members appointed by the shareholder(s) that at that time is/are among the three shareholder(s) controlling the greatest number of votes who have not already appointed a member to the Nomination Committee. Unless specific reasons are at hand, no changes shall occur in the Nomination Committee's composition if merely marginal changes in the number of votes have occurred, or if the changes have occurred later than three months prior to the Annual General Meeting. The Nomination Committee shall draw up proposals, on the issues mentioned below, for presentation to and decision by the Annual General Meeting: a. proposal for the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting; b. proposal for Board of Directors; c. proposal for Chairman of the Board of Directors; d. proposal for remuneration and other compensation to each member of the Board of Directors for work of the Board of Directors and compensation for committee work; e. proposal for auditor; and f. proposal for remuneration to the auditor. Item 17, Resolution on guidelines for remuneration to the senior executives The Board of Directors has prepared a proposal regarding principles for remuneration and other employment terms of the senior executives. Remuneration and other benefits for the senior executives consist of base salary, a variable part, pension, other customary benefits and the possibility to participate in the share savings program that is proposed to the annual general meeting and possible other future long term incentive programmes of Transmode. The total remuneration shall be in accordance with market practice and be competitive and reflect the officers' areas of responsibility, the complexity of the position and the individual's competence and performance. For the Chief Executive Officer the variable remuneration shall not exceed 80 percent of the base salary. For the Company's three region managers the variable remuneration shall not exceed 113 percent of the base salary. For other members of the management group the variable part shall not exceed half of the base salary. The variable remuneration shall be based on the achievement of various targets determined by the Board of Directors, and will primarily be connected to the Company's overall financial targets and to a certain extent include the individual performance by the officer. The variable remuneration shall be conditional upon that the Company does not show any loss for the year the remuneration refers to. The variable remuneration shall not entitle to pension benefits but entitles to holiday pay. Item 18, Resolution on incentive programme 2015 A Implementation of share savings program 2015 The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to implement a long term incentive program 2015 ("LTIP") in the form of a share savings program for all employees in the Company. The principal objectives of the Board's proposal for the LTIP is to strengthen the Company's ability to attract and retain key employees, motivate personnel on all levels and markets, create a long-term focus on the Company's profitability and growth and further align the participants' interest with the interest of the shareholders. The LTIP comprises all approximately 290 employees within Transmode, divided into the following four categories: (i) chief executive officer, (ii) senior executives, (iii) senior management and specialists, and (iv) other employees. Each participant is expected to invest a maximum of 3 to 5 percent, depending on category, of his/her monthly gross base salary for purchase of savings shares. Employees who choose to participate in the LTIP will, provided they make a personal investment in shares in Transmode (so-called saving shares), be allotted, free of charge, shares in Transmode (by so-called matching share rights and performance share rights) approximately three years after their investment (the vesting period). In order for matching share rights to vest and give the participant a right to receive shares in Transmode, the participant must have been continuously employed by Transmode during the vesting period and not having divested any saving shares during the vesting period and Transmode shall in average during 2015 - 2017 have achieved an operating margin at least above the threshold of eight percent. In addition to the above, performance share rights can be allotted to the employees. For these performance share rights to vest and give right to shares in Transmode, certain challenging financial performance conditions for Earning Per Share (EPS), as specified by the Board, must have been fulfilled and the participant must have been continuously employed by Transmode during the vesting period and not having divested any saving shares during the vesting period. Provided that the conditions for receiving matching share rights are fulfilled, and subject to the certain performance conditions based on Transmode's financial objectives during 2015-2017 each saving share that the participants have invested in entitles the participants to receive, free of charge, performance share rights in accordance with the following: (i) the chief executive officer is entitled to receive a maximum of four performance share rights, (ii) senior executives are entitled to receive a maximum of three performance share rights, (iii) senior management and specialists are entitled to receive a maximum of two performance share rights, and (iv) other employees are entitled to receive a maximum of one half performance share right. The LTIP involves a maximum allotment of 161,200 shares in Transmode (of which a maximum of 68,500 shares as a result of matching share rights and a maximum of 92,700 shares as a result of performance share rights), corresponding to approximately 0.58 percent of the total number of outstanding shares and votes in Transmode at the time of the proposal. To ensure delivery of shares in Transmode under the LTIP, the Board proposes in accordance with item B below that the Board shall be authorised to decide on repurchase of shares on Nasdaq Stockholm or another regulated market. The Board proposes that delivery of shares can also instead be arranged for by Transmode entering into a share swap agreement with a third party, whereby such third party shall in its own name acquire and transfer shares in Transmode to employees that participate in the LTIP, as determined by the Board. The preliminary total cost for the LTIP, based on certain assumptions set out in the Board's complete proposal, equals approximately SEK 7.2 m at 0 percent of performance shares and approximately SEK 16.9 m at 100 percent of performance shares, including SEK 2.2 m and SEK 5.2 m respectively in social security costs. A resolution to introduce the LTIP, in accordance with the Board's proposal, is valid where supported by shareholders with at least nine-tenths of the votes cast as well as the shares represented at the Annual General Meeting. B Authorisation for the Board to repurchase the Company's own shares In order to ensure delivery of shares under the LTIP, the Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorises the Board to pass a resolution on repurchasing the Company's own shares in accordance with the following conditions: 1. The repurchase of shares shall take place on Nasdaq Stockholm or another regulated market in accordance with the rules regarding purchase and sale of own shares as set out in the Nasdaq Stockholm Rule Book for Issuers 2. Repurchase of shares may take place on one or more occasions during the period up until the next Annual General Meeting in the Company 3. So many shares may be repurchased up to an amount where the Company's holding does not at any time exceed 1.6 percent of the total number of shares and votes in the Company (comprising all incentive programmes resolved on by the annual general meetings 2013-2015) 4. Repurchase of shares at Nasdaq Stockholm may occur at a price within the share price interval registered at that time, where the share price interval means the difference between the highest buying price and the lowest selling price 5. Payment for the shares shall be made in cash A valid resolution requires approval of shareholders representing at least two- thirds of the votes cast as well as the shares represented at the Annual General Meeting. C Transfer of shares The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves on the transfer of a maximum number of 161,200 shares in the Company, corresponding to 0.58 percent of the total number of shares and votes in the Company at the time of the proposal, to employees in the Company participating in the LTIP, in accordance with the above. It is proposed that the shares to be transferred shall consist of treasury shares. Transfer may take place during the period until the next Annual General Meeting, to a maximum number of approximately 290 employees in the Company. The transfer is related to the LTIP as described above under item A. The Board is of the opinion that it is to the advantage of the Company and the shareholders that the employees in this way have an opportunity to become shareholders in the Company. A shareholding creates an increased common interest between employees and owners and is expected to have a performance enhancing effect. A valid resolution requires approval of shareholders representing at least nine- tenths of the votes cast as well as the shares represented at the Annual General Meeting. ______________________ The annual report, the auditor's report and complete proposals and other documentation in accordance with the Companies Act will be available at the Company's head office no later than on 26 March 2015 and in electronic format at the Company's web page, www.transmode.com.
