Resolution in respect of guidelines for remuneration of senior executives (item
16)
The board proposes that the AGM decides on guidelines for remuneration and other
terms of employment for senior executives according to the following.

These guidelines for remuneration of senior executives include salary and other
terms for the CEO and other senior executives in Recipharm. Other senior
executives are those who, together with the CEO, constitute the group management
as well as the CEO/managing director or equivalent in subsidiaries.

The opinion of Recipharm is that remuneration shall be paid according to
competitive terms, which enables senior executives to be recruited and retained.
Remuneration of senior executives may consist of basic salary, annual bonus,
pension, other benefits and share-based incentive programs. The remuneration of
the CEO and other senior executives shall be based on factors such as duties,
expertise, experience, position and performance. Furthermore, the relationship
between basic salary and annual bonus shall be proportionate to employees’
responsibilities and duties. The annual bonus shall be linked to pre-determined
criteria designed to promote the company’s creation of value in the long-term.
The remuneration shall not discriminate on grounds of gender, ethnic background,
national origin, age, disability, religion or other irrelevant factors.

In addition to salary, the CEO and other senior executives are generally
entitled to an annual bonus of up to 40 per cent of the base salary, annual
pension equivalent to up to 35 per cent of annual salary or according to
collective agreements, sick pay equivalent to 75-90 per cent of the monthly
salary during the first 3-6 months of a period of sickness. The CEO and other
senior executives generally have the right to health insurance and company car
as well as other benefits in accordance with local practice. When possible, the
pension arrangements shall be in accordance with current collective agreements.
In addition to the bonus, approved share or share-price related incentive
programs may be added.

Regarding senior executives, provided that collective agreements do not state
otherwise, the employee and the employer have a mutual notice period of up to
six months. In addition to salary during the notice period, severance pay of up
to six months of salary may occur.
Senior executives residing outside Sweden may receive other remuneration or
benefits that are competitive in the country of their residence, preferably
equivalent to those of other senior executives residing in Sweden.

The board members are paid fees determined by the general meeting. Board members
elected by the shareholders’ meeting shall, in specific cases, receive a fee for
services within their respective areas of expertise, which do not constitute
work of the board. These services shall be remunerated according to market
terms, which shall be approved by the board.

The board shall be entitled to deviate from the guidelines in individual cases
if there are special reasons for doing so.
Resolution to implement a share savings program for 2016 (item 17)
Recipharm applies a share savings program for the employees adopted the first
time at the annual general meeting 2014. The share savings program was renewed
on substantially the same terms and conditions at the annual general meeting
2015. The board of directors proposes that the AGM resolves to implement a share
savings program also for 2016 as described below (the “Program”) and with the
intention that as many employees of the group as possible shall be able to
participate in the Program.
Resolution to approve the program (item 17(a))
The main purpose of the Program is to increase the possibilities to recruit and
retain employees of the group and that ownership commitment among the
participants of the Program is expected to increase the interest in the
operations and the results, improve motivation as well as increase the sense of
togetherness with Recipharm. The board therefore proposes that the AGM resolves
to approve a share savings program for 2016 based the program for 2015 and in
accordance with the following conditions and principles.

 1. The Program shall cover as many employees of the Recipharm group as
possible. Participation in the Program requires that participants, with their
own funds, during the period from July 2016 to July/August 2017, acquires shares
of series B in Recipharm (“Saving Shares”) at market price on Nasdaq Stockholm
and for an amount not exceeding 5 per cent of each participant’s annual fixed
salary. Participation for senior executives, and operating company management
team members and certain key employees, who are also eligible for the
Performance Shares, as described below, requires that participants acquire
Saving Shares for an amount not exceeding 10 per cent of the annual fixed
salary.

 2. The duration of the Program is proposed to be over 3 years from launch of
the Program (“Savings Period”).

 3. Participants who retain the Saving Shares during the Savings Period, and are
also employed by the group during the entire Savings Period, will, at the end of
the Savings Period, receive one share of series B in Recipharm (“Matching
Share”) free of charge.

 4. The group’s senior executives and management team members of operating
companies and certain key employees will, in addition to Matching Shares, be
able to receive additional shares of series B in Recipharm (“Performance
Shares”) free of charge, provided that the participant is employed by the group
during the entire Savings Period and that certain performance criteria are met.
The performance criteria requires that the total return on the Recipharm share
during the Savings Period is positive and the outcome of the Program is
dependent on the total return of the Recipharm share in relation to certain
predetermined companies of comparison. The company’s CEO is entitled to up to
six Performance Shares for each Saving Share and certain other senior executives
(including GMs) are entitled to up to four Performance Shares. Members of local
management teams (excluding GMs) and certain key employees are entitled to one
Performance Shares for each Saving Share. The company’s current CEO, Thomas
Eldered (also one of the main shareholders of the company) has informed that he
will not participate in the Program.

 5. The number of Matching Shares and Performance Shares may be subject to
recalculation as a result of bonus issue, split, rights issue and/or similar
measures.

 6. The board, or the company’s remuneration committee, shall be responsible for
preparing the details and the specific terms of the Program, in accordance with
the terms and guidelines mentioned herein. The board shall have the right to
make necessary adjustments to comply with regulations, market conditions or
restrictions in certain jurisdictions, or, if participation and/or delivery of
shares to participants outside Sweden cannot be arranged for at reasonable costs
or with reasonable administrative efforts, to make adjustments, including, among
other things, a right to decide that an employee may be offered cash settlement.
Furthermore, it is proposed that the board shall have the rights to make other
alterations, if deemed appropriate by the board, if there are changes in the
Recipharm group or its environment which means that the Program no longer meets
the Program’s overall purpose.

 7. The maximum number of shares covered by the Program amounts to 617,000
shares of series B, corresponding to approximately 1.3 per cent of the number of
issued shares after dilution and approximately 0.4 per cent of the votes after
dilution. Considering also the number of shares expected to be issued under the
share saving program for 2014 and 2015 the total dilution effect is
approximately 1.9 per cent of the number of issued shares after dilution and
approximately 0.6 per cent of the votes after dilution.

The complete proposal for adoption of share savings program for 2016 will be
available in accordance to the section “Documents” below.
Resolution in respect of authorization for the board to resolve on directed
issue of shares of series D (item 17(b))
The board proposes that the AGM resolves to authorize the board to, at one or
several occasions during the period until the next AGM, increase Recipharm’s
share capital by up to SEK 308,500 through the issue of up to 617,000 shares of
series D, each with a par value of SEK 0.50. The new shares shall, with
deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, be able to be subscribed
for by a bank or a securities company at an issue price equal to the par value.
The purpose of the authorization and the reason for the deviation from the
shareholders’ preferential rights when carrying out the issue of the shares is
to ensure delivery of shares to participants in accordance with all Recipharm’s
share saving programs.
Resolution in respect of authorization for the board to resolve to repurchase
shares of series D (item 17(c))
The board proposes that the AGM resolves to authorize the board to, for the
period until the next AGM, decide on a repurchase of shares of series D. The
repurchase may only be effected through a public offer directed to all holders
of shares of series D and shall comprise all outstanding shares of series D.
Purchases shall be made at a price equal to the share’s par value. Payment for
the shares shall be made in cash. The purpose of the repurchase is to ensure
delivery of shares in accordance with the Program.

The board’s opinion, pursuant to Chapter 19, section 22 of the Swedish Companies
Act, on the proposal to authorize the board to decide on a repurchase of shares
of series D is available in accordance to the section “Documents” below.
Resolution to amend the Articles of Association (item 18)
The Board proposes that the AGM resolves to (i) amend paragraph 4 of the
Articles of Association whereby the share capital shall be not less than SEK
20,000,000 and not more than SEK 80,000,000; that the number shares shall be not
less than 40,000,000 and not more than 160,000,000; and that the number of
shares of series A and series B respectively shall not exceed 160,000,000; (ii)
remove the possibility of issuing series C shares by removal of paragraph 5 of
the Articles of Association; (iii) make certain editorial amendments to
paragraphs 4 and 7 relating to the removal of the possibility of issuing series
C shares, and (iv) adjust the numbering of the Articles of Association to take
account of the removal of paragraph 5 of the Articles of Association.
The board of directors’ complete proposal will be made available in accordance
to the section “Documents” below.
Resolution in respect of authorization for the board to resolve to issue of
shares and/or convertible bonds (item 19)
Recipharm has a clear acquisition strategy aimed at enable the company to
participate in the consolidation of CDMO industry. Through acquisitions,
Recipharm is offered the opportunity to have access to both new technologies and
extended capacity, and new customers and markets. Through acquisitions,
Recipharm also strengthen its presence in emerging markets.

The board of directors proposes that the AGM authorizes the board of directors
to, on one or several occasions during the period until the next AGM, with or
without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, resolve on share
issues and/or issues of convertible bonds that involve the issue of or
conversion to a maximum of 4,900,000 shares of series B, corresponding to a
dilution of approximately 9.9 per cent of the share capital and approximately
3.0 per cent of the voting rights, based on the current number of shares in the
company.

The purpose of the authorization and the reason for the deviation from the
shareholders’ preferential rights, if any, is to enable the company to carry out
issues of shares and/or convertible bonds in a time-efficient way to finance
acquisitions or investments in new or existing businesses. The issuance of
shares or convertible bonds under the authorisation shall, in case of deviation
from the shareholders’ preferential rights, be made at a subscription price
according to the prevailing market conditions at the time of the issuance of the
shares and/or convertible bonds. Payment for subscribed shares and/or
convertible bonds shall be made in cash, in kind or by way of set-off.
