DIVIDENDS

PRINCIPLES FOR APPOINTING THE MEMBERS OF THE NOMINATION COMMITTEE
In accordance with the proposal from the Nomination Committee, it was resolved
to adopt amended principles for appointment of members of the Nomination
Committee, entailing the following.
The Chairman of the Board shall convene a Nomination Committee which, in
addition to the Chairman, shall consist of representatives from two or three of
the company’s largest shareholders in accordance with Euroclear Sweden AB’s list
of registered shareholders as of August 30. If any of these shareholders should
wish to abstain from the possibility to appoint a representative, the right
shall be transferred to the shareholder who after such shareholders has the
largest holding in the company.
GUIDELINES FOR REMUNERATION TO SENIOR MANAGEMENT
In accordance with the proposal of the Board, the AGM resolved to adopt
guidelines for remuneration to senior management principally entailing that
remuneration and terms of employment shall be competitive and in accordance with
market conditions. In addition to fixed salary, management may also receive
variable salary, which shall be based on the group’s result and individual
goals. The variable part of the salary may amount to a maximum of 75% of the
fixed salary for the managing director and 50% of the fixed salary for the other
members of senior management. Remuneration may also be paid by way of warrants
and other share-related incentive programs. At termination of employment, a
mutual notice period of 6 months shall apply for the managing director and of 3
-6 months shall apply for the other members of senior management. Redundancy
payment to the managing director may be paid by a highest of 6 monthly salaries
if the employment is terminated by the Company. Other members of senior
management shall not be entitled to redundancy payment. The retirement age for
all members of senior management shall be 65 years and the pension premium shall
be calculated based on age and salary and may amount to a maximum of 25% of the
fixed salary. The resolution entails a level of remuneration principally in
accordance with that of the previous year.
AUTHORIZATION FOR THE BOARD TO RESOLVE UPON NEW ISSUES OF SHARES AND/OR
CONVERTIBLES
In accordance with the proposal of the Board, the AGM resolved to authorize the
Board to decide on new issues of shares and/or convertibles. Such issue may
entail a deviation from the shareholders' preferential right for payment in
cash, in kind and/or through set-off. The issue may result in an aggregate
increase in the share capital corresponding to the issue of a maximum of
34,530,609 shares and/or convertibles to be converted into a maximum of
34,530,609 shares. Full exercise of the authorization, and where applicable full
conversion, is equivalent to a dilution of approximately 10% of the current
share capital and votes. The purpose of the authorization and the reason for the
deviation from the shareholders’ preferential right is to enable the company, by
way of issues of new shares/convertible bonds for payment in cash, in kind or
through set-off, to effect company acquisitions, other strategic investments or
to obtain capital contributions from new owners that are considered
strategically important from an operational, financial, structural or other
perspective.
RESOLUTION AMENDMENT OF THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION AND REDUCTION OF THE SHARE
CAPITAL
In accordance with the proposal of the Board, the AGM resolved to reduce the
share capital of the company for allocation to unrestricted shareholders’
equity. The reduction shall be effected without retirement of shares and without
repayment to the shareholders. The purpose of the reduction is to better adjust
the size of the company’s share capital to its business. The reduction
represents a decrease in share capital of SEK 86,326,523.56, from SEK
96,685,706.38 to SEK 10,359,182.82, allocated between a total number of
345,306,094 shares. The reduction entails a reduction of the quota value of the
shares with SEK 0.25, from SEK 0.28 to SEK 0.03.
In connection with the decision on reduction of share capital, the AGM resolved
to amend the limits for share capital in the company’s articles of association,
so that the share capital shall be no less than SEK 5,000,000 and no more than
SEK 20,000,000.
