Annual General Meeting resolved to declare a dividend of SEK 2.00 per share for
2014. Further, it was resolved that the dividend shall be paid in two partial
payments for a more favorable adaptation to the group’s cash flow profile. 4 May

2015 as record date for the second payment of SEK 1.00. The first payment by
Euroclear is expected to start on 7 May 2015 and the second payment on 14
October 2015.

Principles for the Nomination Committee
The Annual General Meeting resolved in accordance with the Nomination
Committee’s proposal for principles for the Nomination Committee. The proposal
principally entails the following. The Nomination Committee in respect of the
Annual General Meeting shall be composed of the representatives of the four
largest shareholders in terms of voting rights listed in the share-holders’
register maintained by Euroclear as of September 30 each year, and the Chairman
of the Board of Directors, who will also convene the first meeting of the
Nomination Committee. The member representing the largest share-holder in terms
of voting rights shall be appointed chairman of the Nomination Committee, if not
the Nomination Committee unanimously appoints someone else.  The composition of
the Nomination Committee for the Annual General Meeting shall normally be
announced no later than six months before that Meeting. Remuneration shall not
to be paid to the members of the Nomination Committee. The term of office for
the Nomination Committee ends when the composition of the following Nomination
Committee has been announced. The Nomination Committee shall propose the
following: Chairman at the General Meeting, Board of Directors, Chairman of the
Board of Directors, auditor, remuneration to the Board of Directors divided
between the chairman and the other directors as well as remuneration for
committee work, remuneration to the company’s auditor and any changes in the
proposal for Nomination Committee for the Annual General meeting (if any). The
principles shall apply until further notice.

Guidelines for Remuneration to Senior Executives
The Annual General Meeting approved the Board’s proposal for guidelines for
remuneration to senior executives. The proposal principally entails the
following. The remuneration of senior executive management is to comprise fixed
salary, possible variable salary, pension and other benefits. The total
remuneration package should be based on market terms, be competitive and reflect
the individual’s performance and responsibilities as well as, with respect to
share based incentive schemes, the value growth of the Thule Group share
benefitting the shareholders. The variable salary may comprise annual incentives
in cash and long-term incentives in cash, shares and/or share-based instruments
in Thule Group AB. Variable salary in cash is condi-tional upon the fulfillment
of defined and measurable goals and should be maximized up to 75 per cent of the
annual fixed salary for the CEO and for the other executive management up to 60
per cent. Terms and conditions for variable salary should be designed so that
the Board, if exceptional economic circumstances prevail, has the option of
limiting or refraining from payment of variable salary if such a measure is
considered reasonable. The Board shall have the right to depart from the
guidelines resolved by the Annual General Meeting if, in an individual case,
there are special reasons for this.
