The remuneration package at Attendo shall be competitive, but not market-leadning.

Item 16 - Resolution regarding authority for the Board of Directors to issue new shares, whether applying or disapplying pre-emption rights for the company’s shareholders
The Board of Directors proposes that the shareholders adopt a resolution at the Annual General Meeting granting the Board of Directors the authority, on one or more occasions, for the period until the end of the next Annual General Meeting, to issue new shares, either applying or disapplying shareholders’ pre-emption rights.

If the Board of Directors resolves to issue new shares disapplying the shareholders’ pre-emption rights, the reason for this must be to provide the company with new owners of strategic importance to the company or in order to implement an acquisition agreement, or, alternatively, to procure capital for such acquisition.

The number of shares issued by virtue of the authority may not exceed an increase of ten (10) percent of the share capital based on the share capital of the company on the date of the Annual General Meeting 2017.

Item 17 - Resolutions regarding adoption of share savings program, Attendo+ 2017, acquisition and transfer of the company’s own shares, and the entering into a share swap agreement with third party
A. Resolution regarding adoption of share savings program, Attendo+ 2017 
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to implement a long-term share savings program (Attendo+ 2017). The Board of Directors wishes to establish a long-term incentive program for certain key employees to increase and enhance its ability to recruit, retain, and motivate employees, and to encourage personal long-term ownership of Attendo shares. Participation in the program requires that the participant acquires and retains Attendo shares ("Savings Shares") during the whole vesting period. For each acquired Savings Share, the participant shall be entitled to, after the end of a vesting period and subject to the fulfilment of certain performance requirements, allotment of additional Attendo shares ("Performance Shares"). Allotment of Performance Shares to the participant shall be free of charge.

Acquisition of Savings Shares will be made through periodical savings over a period of maximum 12 months following the launch, whereby the investments will take place on a few occasions during this period. The starting point is that periodical savings for investments in Savings Shares is made by monthly salary deductions and investments are made quarterly.

On the basis of maximum participation and maximum fulfilment of performance requirements plus the current social security contributions, a maximum of 825,000 Attendo shares might be transferred to participants under Attendo+ 2017 and, for the part of social security contributions are financed, on Nasdaq Stockholm (the "Stock Exchange"). The maximum number of shares is calculated based on a stock price at the investments of SEK 70, at the lowest. A participant’s right to obtain allotment of Performance Shares is conditional upon the participant remaining as an employee in the Attendo Group during the whole vesting period up until allotment as well as the participant, during this period, has kept all Savings shares for any vesting period not yet ended.

Allotment of Performance Shares is dependent on the outcome of a range determined by the Board of Directors regarding the development of the Attendo Group’s accumulated profit (EBITA) for the period 2017-2019. The range established by the Board will be unveiled to the shareholders after the vesting period.

Under the assumption of an investment corresponding to the maximum investment amount for all categories, at a stock price of SEK 80 at each investment, 50 percent of the maximum number of Performance Shares being allotted, and an annual increase of the stock price by 10 percent during the vesting period, the total cost for Attendo+ 2017, including social costs, is estimated to approximately SEK 25 million before tax, and considering of adopted employee turnover. If the performance requirements are fully met and there is an absence of any employee turnover, the corresponding cost is estimated to approximately SEK 63 million before tax. Furthermore there are certain additional costs related to the administration of the program estimated to a maximum of SEK 5 million for the entire period.

B. Resolution regarding acquisition and transfer of the company’s own shares 
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to authorise the Board of Directors to resolve on acquisition of a maximum of 825,000 Attendo shares through trading on the Stock Exchange to enable transfer of own shares under Attendo+ 2017 in accordance with the below. Attendo shares acquired on the Stock Exchange may only be acquired at a price within the spread registered on the Stock Exchange from time to time, meaning the spread between the highest bid price and the lowest ask price.

The Board of Directors further proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves that transfer of a maximum of 825,000 Attendo shares under Attendo+ 2017 may be carried out in accordance with conditions defined in the program. The number of shares is calculated on the basis of maximum participation and maximum fulfilment of performance requirements plus the current social security contributions. Attendo shares may be transferred to the participants in Attendo+ 2017 and, to the extent social security contributions are financed, on the Stock Exchange. Share transfer to participants in Attendo+ 2017 should be free of charge and be carried out at the time and subject to the other conditions under which participants in Attendo+ 2017 have the right to be allotted shares.

C. Resolution regarding the entering into a share swap agreement with third party 
In the event that necessary majority is not obtained for item B above (proposal on resolution regarding acquisitions and transfer of the company’s own shares) the Board of Directors proposes that delivery of shares under Attendo+ 2017 shall be made through the entering into a share swap agreement with a third party.

Item 18 – Resolution regarding acquisition and transfers of the company’s own shares
