The Meeting appointed Charlotte Axelsson, Chairman of the Board, Göran Larsson, proposed by Gösta Welandson with company, Eva Gottfridsdotter-Nilsson, proposed by Länsförsäkringar Fondförvaltning and Michael Green proposed by Handelsbanken Fonder as members of the Nomination Committee.

The Meeting adopted the Board of Directors’ proposal on remuneration guidelines for senior executives.

The Meeting approved the Board of Directors’ proposal to authorise the Board to make decisions on one or more occasions for the period up until the next AGM, to repurchase and transfer that total number of shares so that the company’s holdings do not exceed ten per cent of all the shares of the company at any time. Repurchases of shares shall be on Nasdaq Stockholm, and may only be executed at a price within the quoted price interval on each occasion, which means the interval between the highest bid price and lowest offer price. Transfer may be conducted on Nasdaq Stockholm or otherwise, including a right to resolve upon deviations from the shareholders’ preferential rights. The purpose of this authorisation is for the Board to attain the flexibility to enable decision-making regarding an altered capital structure on a continuous basis, and thus contribute to increased shareholder value. The purpose is also to enable repurchased shares as payment for acquisitions, or to settle any deferred payments for such acquisitions, or to finance such acquisitions or deferred payments. 

The Meeting approved, in accordance with the Nomination Committee´s proposal, to elect Ernst & Young AB as auditor for the period until the close of the next Annual General Meeting. Ernst & Young AB will appoint the Authorised Public Accountant Ingemar Rindstig as auditor in charge.
