Re-election of the accounting firm Ernst & Young AB, for a period of mandate of
one year, consequently up to and including the Annual General Meeting 2017,
whereby the accounting firm has informed that the authorised public accountant
Johan Thuresson will be appointed as auditor in charge. The auditor shall be
remunerated according to agreement.

At the statutory board meeting following the AGM, Melker Schörling (Chairman)
and Ulrik Svensson were re-elected members of the Remuneration Committee for the
time period until the next statutory board meeting. For the same term, Ulrik
Svensson (Chairman), Malin Persson and Märta Schörling were elected members of
the Audit Committee.

Dividend

The AGM resolved in accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors that
a dividend of SEK 1.70 per share be declared for the financial year 2015 and
that the accumulated earnings be carried forward. The record date for the
dividend shall be May 3, 2016.

Nomination Committee

The meeting re-elected Mikael Ekdahl (Melker Schörling AB), Åsa Nisell (Swedbank
Robur fonder), Henrik Didner (Didner & Gerge Fonder) and Elisabet Jamal
Bergström (Handelsbanken Fonder) as members of the Nomination Committee in
respect of the AGM 2017. Mikael Ekdahl was re-elected as Chairman of the
Nomination Committee.

Incentive Program 2016/2020

The Annual General meeting resolved to implement an incentive program for the
Managing Director and Group CEO, group management, senior executives and key
employees in the HEXPOL Group through a directed issue of 2,100,000 subscription
warrants.

The right to subscribe for the subscription warrants shall be granted to
Gislaved Gummi AB, a wholly-owned subsidiary of HEXPOL AB for subsequent
transfers to around 60 participants identified by the Board of Directors to the
issue rate of SEK 9 per subscription warrant and any remaining warrants shall be
reserved for future recruitments. The issue rate may be adjusted in case of
material changes in the price of HEXPOL AB’s share from the time of this notice
until subscription is made by Gislaved Gummi AB.

Each subscription warrant entitles to subscribe for one series B share in HEXPOL
AB during the period commencing on June 1, 2019 up to and including December 31,
2020. The subscription rate for one new share shall be based on a market
valuation of the subscription warrants including the issue rate per subscription
warrant, which shall be established by an independent valuation institute in
accordance with an established valuation method (Black & Scholes) in connection
with the allotment of the warrants to Gislaved Gummi AB. The proposed issue of
subscription warrants entails a dilution of maximum approximately 0,61 percent
in relation to the number of shares in the company.

The reasons for deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights are that
HEXPOL AB wishes to introduce a warrants program intended for allotment to
senior executives and key employees within the HEXPOL Group, whereby they will
be offered the opportunity to take part in a value increase of the company’s
share. This is expected to increase the interest in the company’s development –
as well as in the company’s share price development – and to stimulate a
continued company loyalty over the forthcoming years.

Guidelines for remuneration to senior executives

The AGM resolved on the adoption of guidelines for remuneration to the CEO and
other senior executives principally entailing that the remuneration shall
consist of a basic salary, a variable remuneration, other benefits and pension
and all in all be competitive and in accordance with market practice. The
variable remuneration shall be maximized in relation to the basic salary, tied
to such performance that the relevant individual may influence and based on the
outcome in relation to individually established goals. The variable remuneration
is capped and shall constitute a maximum of 130 per cent of the basic
remuneration. The Board shall annually consider whether a share or share price
related incentive program shall be proposed to the AGM. The notice period shall
normally be six months on the part of the employee. In case of notice of
termination of the managing director by the company, a notice period of 24
months shall apply. For other senior executives the notice period on the part of
the company is normally 12 months. The pension rights shall be either benefit or
fee based, or a combination of both, with an individual pension age, however,
not lower than 60 years.
