Guidelines for remuneration to management
The Annual General Meeting resolved on the adoption of guidelines for
remuneration to management, principally entailing that the remuneration and
other terms of employment shall be competitive and in accordance with market
conditions, in order to ensure that the Securitas Group will be able to attract
and keep competent management employees. The guidelines principally entail that
the total remuneration to management shall consist of fixed annual salary,
variable remuneration, pensions and other benefits. The variable remuneration
shall be based on the outcome in relation to financial goals and growth targets
within the individual area of responsibility (group or division) and be in line
with the interests of the shareholders. The variable remuneration shall amount
to a maximum of 50 % of the fixed annual salary for the President and 35-200 %
for other management employees. Pension rights for management employees shall be
applicable as from the age of 65 at the earliest. All group management employees
shall be comprised by fee-based pension plans, for which pension plans insurance
premiums shall be transferred from the individual's total remuneration and be
paid by the company during the term of employment. The variable remuneration
shall principally not be pension qualifying. At dismissal of a management
employee, the notice period shall amount to a maximum of 12 months with a right
to redundancy payment equivalent to a maximum of 100 % of the fixed salary for
not more than 12 months. At resignation by a management employee, the notice
period shall amount to a maximum of 6 months. The Board shall be entitled to
deviate from the guidelines in individual cases if there are particular grounds
for such deviation. The complete guidelines are published on the company
website.

CEO Comments
President and CEO Alf Göransson reported on Securitas operations during the year
2007 and commented further work within Securitas. The script and the
presentation are published in complete versions at www.securitas.com. The quotas
below are from the script and refer to the operations:

“The security services part of the Group enjoyed the same good organic sales
growth in 2007 as in 2006, i.e. 6%. The operating margin was 5.6%, which also
was similar to 2006. Essentially - the growth was acceptable.”

“ In Europe, just like in 2006, Securitas continues to increase its market
share. In North America Securitas grows at a rate of one or two percentage
points below the market, On the other hand, the operating margin continues to
improve and the US organization is full of confidence, energy and pride over
their ´turnaround´.”

“Loomis, on the other hand, had a year full of problems, disappointments and
harsh realities. But as its core, Loomis is a very good business which is
capable of achieving good profitability. At the end of 2008 we expect to be able
to allocate Loomis' shares to our shareholders.”

“In 2007 we made eight acquisitions in South America, India and Eastern Europe.
We are continuing along this path this year, among other things by gradually
establishing a presence in the fast-growing Middle East.”

“Over the next few years the Group will develop in the direction of increased
specialization and segmentation.”
