Resolution to introduce a long-term share-based incentive scheme 2016

The AGM resolved to introduce a long-term share-based incentive scheme 2016
(“the Scheme”). The Scheme is designed for around 15 senior executives and key
individuals (the “Participants”), who are members of the Group’s senior
management team or extended management team. The Scheme requires that the
Participants shall make their own investment in shares in the company
corresponding to at least 5 per cent and at most 15 per cent of their gross base
pay in 2016. Provided that the Participant remains in employment after the end
of a three-year qualification period and retains the initial shareholding, the
Participant shall receive without consideration one so-called matching share for
each savings share. Furthermore, if certain performance targets are met, the
Participant shall receive without consideration a maximum of a further 3-4
performance shares (depending on position). To receive the maximum allocation of
such shares, it is required that targets set by the Board for growth in earnings
per share, measured as an average over the period 2016-2018, are met. Allocation
of shares shall be linear between the minimum and maximum level, where the
minimum level is an average annual increase of 10 per cent and the maximum level
is an average increase of around 20 per cent or more. Based on the assumption of
maximum investment in shares at the start of the Scheme and maximum allocation
of matching and performance shares, the number of shares that shall be
transferred to Participants plus shares used for hedging of social security
contributions associated with the Scheme amounts to a maximum of 300,000,
corresponding to a dilution effect of around 1.5 per cent of votes and shares.

Resolution to transfer treasury shares as part of the incentive scheme

The AGM resolved, in accordance with the Board’s proposal, that the company
shall have the right to transfer without consideration at most 250,000 treasury
shares, with deviation from shareholders’ preferential rights, to Participants
in the Scheme.

Resolution to authorize the Board to decide on transfers to cover payment of
social security contributions relating to the Scheme
The AGM resolved, in accordance with the Board’s proposal, to authorize the
Board on one or more occasions up to the time of the next AGM, to decide on
transfers of at most 50,000 treasury shares on the Nasdaq Stockholm exchange at
a price per share within, at any time, the prevailing price interval, to cover
payment of social security contributions relating to the Scheme.

Resolution to authorize the Board to decide on acquisition and transfer of
treasury shares
The AGM resolved, in accordance with the Board’s proposal, to authorize the
Board on one or more occasions up to the time of the next AGM, to decide on:

(a)           acquisitions of the company’s own shares on the Exchange in the
context of a price per share that is within, at any time, the registered price
range. The maximum total purchase of shares shall be such that the company's
holding after the acquisition shall in total be no more than one tenth of all
shares in the company.

(b)           the sale of a maximum of all of the company’s treasury shares on
the Exchange and / or otherwise with or without deviation from shareholders
preferential rights and with or without non-cash stipulations, offsetting of
claims against the company or other conditions. Transfer of shares on the
Exchange may only be made at a price per share within the prevailing registered
price interval and if the transfer takes place in another way, for a price
equivalent in cash or value of property received which corresponds to the market
price at the time of transfer of the shares transferred with such deviation as
the Board finds appropriate.

Resolution to authorize the Board to decide on new share issue
The AGM resolved, in accordance with the Board’s proposal, to authorize the
Board on one or more occasions up to the time of the next AGM, to decide on a
new issue of shares and/or subscription options and/or convertibles with or
without deviation from the preferential rights of shareholders and with
acquisition in kind, offsetting or other conditions. The purpose is to give the
Board flexibility in the work of financing and enabling an accelerated expansion
and development of the Group, its markets and products. The share issue shall be
on market terms. The number of shares to be issued shall be a maximum of
1,052,010 shares, which represents a dilution of around 5 per cent of all the
shares in the company on the date of the notice to attend the 2016 AGM.
