Guidelines for remuneration to Eltel’s senior management
The AGM approved the proposal by the Board of Directors regarding guidelines for
remuneration to senior management as follows:

Eltel’s overall objective is to offer senior management a competitive and market
-based level of remuneration consisting of fixed and variable salary, pension
and other remuneration components. Remuneration shall be determined in relation
to area of responsibility, duties, expertise and performance. The fixed salary
component equals and compensates for an engaged work of management at a high
professional level, creating value to Eltel. The short-term variable salary
component is based on predetermined and measurable financial targets recommended
by the Remuneration Committee and ultimately decided by the Board of Directors.
The pension terms of senior executives should be market based in relation to
those that generally apply for comparable executives. In addition, senior
executives may be offered long term incentive schemes on market-based terms. The
Board shall have the right to deviate from the guidelines in individual cases if
there are particular grounds for such deviation.

Long-term incentive programme for 2016 (LTIP 2016)
The Board of Directors decided to withdraw its proposal for implementation of a
share savings programme 2016 for key individuals at Eltel Group. The Board has
the intention to convene an extraordinary general meeting in the near future and
present a revised proposal for the incentive programme.

Authorisation for the Board of Directors to resolve to issue new shares,
repurchase and transfer own shares
The AGM resolved to authorise the Board of Directors, on one or more occasions
during the period until the next Annual General Meeting, with or without
deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, against cash payment, for
payment in kind or by way of set-off, to resolve on share issue of a maximum of
6,250,000 shares (corresponding to a dilution of approximately 10.0 percent of
the share capital and the votes).

The AGM also resolved to authorise the Board of Directors to repurchase, on one
or several occasions prior to the next Annual General Meeting, as many shares as
may be purchased without the Company’s holding at any time exceeding 10 per cent
of the total number of shares in the Company. The shares shall be acquired on
Nasdaq Stockholm where shares in the Company are listed and only at a price
within the price range registered at any given time, i.e. the range between the
highest bid price and the lowest offer price.

The AGM also resolved to authorise the Board of Directors to transfer the
Company’s own shares, on one or several occasions prior to the next Annual
General Meeting, with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential
rights, against cash payment, for payment in kind or by way of set-off.

The authorisations are valid until the 2017 Annual General Meeting.
