Share Savings Scheme 2020
Approximately 30 senior executives and other key employees in the group will be offered participation in the performance-based Share Savings Scheme 2020.

Participation in the Share Savings Scheme 2020 requires that participants with their own funds invest in Class B shares in the Company (“Savings Shares”) at market price on Nasdaq Stockholm for an amount corresponding to a maximum of 4.2 percent to 12.5 percent of the respective participant’s annual fixed base salary for 2020. If the Savings Shares are retained during the established three-year vesting period, which runs from 1 August 2020 (“Vesting Period”) and certain conditions are met, inter alia continued employment in the group during the entire Vesting Period, obtains, free of charge, one Class B share in the Company provided that the total return of the share (“TSR”) is positive during the Vesting Period, and – provided that some other performance requirements are met on an annual basis during the three-year Vesting Period – another maximum of one to four Class B shares in the Company. The maximum number of Class B shares in the Company that can be allocated according to the Share Savings Scheme 2020 is limited to 400,000 shares, which corresponds to approximately 1.6 percent of all shares and approximately 0.5 percent of all votes in the Company.

The total cost is estimated to MSEK 6.5 excluding social security charges, based on the assumptions stated in the proposal and the costs for social contributions are estimated to amount to a maximum of approximately MSEK 2.0. The costs for the Share Savings Scheme 2020, including social security contributions, amounts to approximately one percent of the Company´s total costs for salaries and remuneration based on stated assumptions.
