The work of preparing proposals to the 2015 AGM regarding the directors of the board and auditor, and their remuneration, as well as the proposal on the Chairman of the 2015 AGM and the procedure for the Nomination Committee shall be performed by a Nomination Committee. The Nomination Committee will be formed during October 2014 in consultation with the largest shareholders of Transcom as per 30 September 2014. The Nomination Committee will consist of at least three members appointed by the largest shareholders of Transcom (that have wished to appoint a member). A representative of the largest shareholder at the time of the announcement will be a member of the Committee and will also act as its convenor. The members of the Nomination Committee will appoint the Nomination Committee Chairman at their first meeting. The Nomination Committee is appointed for a term of office commencing at the time of the announcement of the interim report for the period January – September 2014 and ending when a new Nomination Committee is formed. If a member resigns during the term of the Nomination Committee, the Nomination Committee can choose to appoint a new member. The shareholder that appointed the resigning member shall be asked to appoint a new member, provided that the shareholder still is one of the largest shareholders of Transcom. If that shareholder declines participation on the Nomination Committee, the Nomination Committee can choose to ask the next largest qualified shareholder to participate. If a large qualified shareholder reduces its ownership, the Nomination Committee can choose to appoint the next largest shareholder to join. In all cases, the Nomination Committee reserves the right to reduce its membership as long as the number of members remains at least three. The Nomination Committee shall have the right to upon request receive personnel resources such as secretarial services from Transcom, and to charge Transcom with costs for recruitment consultants and related travel if deemed necessary.
