Long-term share-based incentive programme
The AGM resolved to establish a long-term share-based incentive programme – performance based Share Savings Scheme 2019 – in accordance with the Board’s proposal.

Share Savings Scheme 2019
Approximately 30 senior executives and other key employees in the group will be offered participation in the performance based Share Savings Scheme.

Participation in the Share Savings Scheme 2019 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% to 12.5% of the respective participant’s annual fixed base salary for 2019. If the Savings Shares are retained during the established three-year 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 2019 is limited to 252,000 shares, which corresponds to approximately 1 percent of all shares and approximately 0.3 percent of all votes in the Company.

The total cost is estimated to MSEK 12.3 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 3.9. The costs for the Share Savings Scheme 2019, including social security contributions, amounts to approximately 2.0 percent of the Company´s total costs for salaries and remuneration based on stated assumptions.

Authorization for the Board to resolve on acquisitions and transfer of shares
The AGM resolved in accordance with the Board’s proposal to authorize the Board of Directors, during the period up until the next AGM, on one or more occasions, to resolve to execute the acquisition of Class B shares in the Company. Acquisitions shall take place on Nasdaq Stockholm of a maximum of 331,180 Class B shares. Acquisition of Class B shares shall take place on Nasdaq Stockholm and at a price per Class B share at each time within the registered price interval. Payment for Class B shares shall be paid in cash. Purchase may be made in order to secure the Company’s undertakings (including social costs) in connection with the Share Savings Scheme 2019.

Furthermore, the AGM resolved to authorize the Board, during the period up until to the next AGM, on one or more occasions, to decide to transfer a maximum of 79,180 Class B shares in the Company to enable hedging of costs (including social security costs) and delivery in connection with the implementation of the Company’s Share Savings Scheme 2019. Transfer of Class B shares shall take place on Nasdaq Stockholm and at a price per share of Class B at each time within the registered price interval. Transfer of shares may also take place outside Nasdaq Stockholm to a bank or other financial institution, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights.

Transfer of own shares
The AGM further resolved, in accordance with the Board’s proposal, on transfer of a maximum of 252,000 Class B shares in the Company (or the higher number of Class B shares that may result from recalculation according to the terms) to participants in the Share Savings Scheme 2019 which, under the terms, are entitled to receive allotment of Class B shares.
