Nomination committee (item 14)

The three major shareholders and the chairman of the board of directors propose
that the annual general meeting shall resolve to adopt the following principles
for the appointment of a nomination committee for the annual general meeting
2017.

The committee shall be composed of representatives of the three largest
shareholders listed in the shareholders’ register maintained by Euroclear Sweden
as of 31 March each year, as well as the chairman of the board, who will also
convene the first meeting of the committee. The member representing the largest
shareholder shall be appointed chairman of the committee, unless the committee
unanimously appoints someone else. If earlier than three months prior to the
annual general meeting, one or more of the shareholders having appointed
representatives to the committee no longer are among the three largest
shareholders, the representatives appointed by such shareholders shall resign
and the shareholders who then are among the three largest shareholders may
appoint their representatives. Should a member resign from the committee before
its work is completed and the committee considers it necessary to replace him or
her, such substitute member shall

represent the same shareholder or, if such shareholder no longer is one of the
largest shareholders, the largest shareholder in turn. Changes to the
composition of the committee must be announced immediately.

The nomination committee shall prepare and submit proposals to the annual
general meeting on: chairman of the meeting, board members, chairman of the
board, board fees to each of the board members and the chairman as well as

Authorization to issue new ordinary shares (item 15)

The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to
authorize the board of directors, for the period up to the next annual general
meeting, to adopt decisions, whether on one or several occasions and whether
with or without pre-emption rights for the shareholders, to issue new ordinary
shares to an amount not exceeding in total 10 percent of the total number of
outstanding ordinary shares in the company following utilization of the
authorization. New issues may be made with or without provisions concerning non
-cash consideration, set-off or other provisions specified in Chapter 13 Section
5, first paragraph, 6, of the Swedish Companies Act. The purpose of the
authorization is to provide the board with flexibility in its work to secure
that the company, in a suitable way, can be provided with capital to enable a
broadening of the ownership structure of the company, increase the liquidity in,
and trading volume of, the share and to be used in strategic partnerships.

Proposal for the adoption of Warrant Program 2016/2021 and the issue of warrants
(item 16)

Background

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to implement a
warrant program (“Warrant Program 2016/2021”), with two series, addressed to new
members of the group management and other new employees of the company, in order
to promote and stimulate continued loyalty with the operations by linking the
interests of these persons with the interests of the shareholders.

Number of warrants and exercise price

The board of directors proposes that the meeting resolves to issue not more than
493,000 warrants, in two series, of which 480,000 warrants of Series 1 and
13,000 warrants of Series 2, within the scope of an incentive program for the
group management and other employees. In total, the incentive programme will
encompass a maximum of approximately 18 individuals.

Each warrant shall entitle the holder to subscribe for one new ordinary share.
The warrants shall be issued free of charge and be subscribed for by the wholly
-owned subsidiary Nuevolution A/S for further transfer free of charge to the
participants in accordance with the below. There can be no over-subscription.
The company shall in connection with the transfer of the warrants to the
participants reserve a pre-emption right regarding the warrants, with certain
exceptions, if the participant’s employment or assignment within the group is
terminated or if the participant wishes to transfer its warrants.

The warrants are granted to the participants over a period of four years, of
which one quarter of the warrants shall be deemed granted on 31 October 2017,
2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. Each warrant shall, during the period from 31
October 2017 and up to and including 31 August 2021, entitle the holder to
subscribe for one new ordinary share in Nuevolution AB (publ) at an exercise
price in accordance with the below.

The exercise price for one ordinary share subscribed for by the exercise of one
warrant of Series 1 shall be SEK 1,000,000 and the exercise price for one
ordinary share subscribed for by the exercise of one warrant of Series 2 shall
be SEK 11.25. Subject to the fulfillment of an Exit Event (as described below
and in the terms and conditions of the warrants), the subscription price per
ordinary share for warrants of Series 1 shall instead be SEK 17.50.

Pursuant to the terms and conditions for warrants of Series 1, an “Exit Event”
occurs if more than 90 percent of the shares are sold to a buyer and the
purchase price corresponds to at least SEK 22.975 per share, if the company’s
operations or a substantial part of the company’s assets are sold and the
purchase price corresponds to at least SEK 22.975 per share, if the company is
liquidated and the distribution proceeds correspond to at least SEK 22.975 per
share or if the trading price of the company’s share on Nasdaq First North or
Nasdaq Stockholm at the time of applying for subscription of shares corresponds
to at least SEK 22.975 per share.

The exercise price and the number of ordinary shares that each warrant entitles
to subscription for shall be recalculated in the event of a split,
consolidation, new share issue etc., in accordance with market practice.

Allocation of warrants

Group management and other employees who have entered into a pre-emption
agreement with Nuevolution AB (publ) shall be entitled to be transferred
warrants, where a maximum of 90,000 warrants shall be allocated to one member of
the group management, of which 85,000 are warrants of Series 1 and 5,000 of
Series 2; a maximum of 148,000 to Other key employees, of which 140,000 are
warrants of Series 1 and 8,000 of Series 2, whereof no individual Other key
employee can be granted more than 74,000 warrants; and a maximum of 255,000
warrants of Series 1 shall be allocated to Other employees, whereof no
individual Other employee can be granted more than 17,000 warrants. Board
members shall not be eligible to participate in the incentive programme.

Scope and costs of the program

The fair value of the warrants under Warrant Program 2016/2021 amounts to SEK
3.1 million, using the so-called Black&Scholes model (based on a risk-free
interest rate of -0.53 percent, assumed volatility of 45 percent and estimated
maturity of the warrants of 4.9 years). The amount will, in accordance with
IFRS, be recognized as non-cash expenses in the consolidated financial
statements as the warrants are granted to the individuals. The company estimates
that the costs for advisors will amount to, in total, approximately SEK
0.2 million during the term of the program.

Dilution of existing shares and votes

Based on the number of shares and votes outstanding in the company, the proposed
incentive programme implies, upon exercise of all 493,000 warrants, a full
dilution corresponding to approximately 1.0 per cent of the total number of
shares and votes outstanding in the company. If all outstanding incentive
programs in the company are included in the calculation, the corresponding
maximum level of dilution amounts to approximately 11.5 per cent.

Information about Nuevolution’s current incentive programs is available in the
annual report for the financial year 2015/16, note 20, and on the company’s
website, www.nuevolution.com.

If all warrants are exercised the share capital will increase by SEK 493,000.

The rationale for the proposal

According to the board of directors, it is important that the company’s
employees have sufficient incentives and hold shares in the company in order to
align the employees’ and the company’s interests in order to create
opportunities to keep and increase motivation among its employees. The board of
directors considers that the adoption of Warrant Program 2016/2021 is beneficial
to the Nuevolution group and the shareholders of the company.

Preparations of the proposal

The program has been prepared by the company’s board of directors in
consultation with external advisors.

Majority requirements

A resolution in accordance with this item 16 requires approval of least nine
tenths (9/10) of the shares represented and votes cast at the general meeting.
