  1. A fixed base salary, set at a level aimed at attracting and retaining executives with professional and personal competences required to drive the company’s performance.
  2. Short-term incentives, based on the achievement of a number of individual, pre-defined financial and strategic business targets approved by the board of directors. Short-term incentives cannot exceed 50 percent of the fixed base salary, and are partly related to financial targets and partly to non-financial, strategic business targets.

The board of directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to authorize the board of directors to, at one or several occasions, during the time up until the next Annual General Meeting, with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, resolve to issue shares. A new issue should be able to be made with or without provisions regarding contribution in kind, set-off or other conditions. The total number of shares issuable pursuant to the authorization shall not exceed 10 percent of the total number of existing shares in the company at the time of the Annual General Meeting. In case the authorization is used for a new issue with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, the subscription price shall be on market terms (subject to customary new issue discount, as applicable). The purpose of the authorization is to be able to execute and finance acquisitions of companies and assets.

Item 16: Resolution on implementation of a long-term incentive program by way of (A) implementation of a performance-based share program; (B) amendment of the Articles of Association; (C) authorization on directed issues of series C shares; (D) authorization on repurchase of series C shares; and (E) resolution on transfer of own ordinary shares

The board of directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to implement a long-term incentive program in the form of a performance-based share program (the "LTI 2019") for the company’s CEO, Group Management and key employees in accordance with A below. The resolution is conditional upon that the Annual General Meeting also resolves to amend the Articles of Association in accordance with B below whereby the possibility to issue series C shares is introduced and that the Annual General Meeting resolves on hedging measures in accordance with C – E below.

The long-term incentive program is intended to be annual, wherefore the board of directors after having evaluated the program, intends to present new proposals for corresponding or adjusted programs ahead of the forthcoming Annual General Meetings.

A. Implementation of a performance-based share program

Background

The overall purpose with LTI 2019 is to align the interests of the company's senior executives and key employees with those of the shareholders and thus ensure a maximum long-term value adding commitment. LTI 2019 is also considered to create a long-term focus on increase in earnings and growth among the participants. LTI 2019 is further considered to facilitate for the company to recruit and retain senior executives and key employees.

Terms and conditions for LTI 2019

1.          In total, LTI 2019 is proposed to comprise approximately 30 participants composed of senior executives and key employees, divided into three categories. Provided that the performance targets mentioned below are met or exceeded, participants in LTI 2019 shall be given the opportunity to receive ordinary shares in the company free-of-charge ("Performance Shares").

2.         The total number of Performance Shares shall not exceed 406,994.

3.         The maximum number of Performance Shares that can be allotted to the participants in the respective category shall not exceed the numbers set out in the table below:

Category Maximum number of Performance Shares per participant
CEO 51,366
Other Group Management (7persons) 160,044 Performance Shares may in the aggregate be allotted to this category but noparticipant may be allotted more than 32,310Performance Shares.
Key employees (approximately 23persons) 195,584 Performance Shares may in the aggregate be allotted to this category but noparticipant may be allotted more than 21,492Performance Shares.

4.         A condition for the right to receive Performance Shares is that the participant, subject to certain customary good leaver exemptions, has continued to be employed by the company until the expiration of the Performance Period (as defined below).

5.         The performance targets (the "Performance Targets") that have to be met or exceeded relate to (i) the share price development of the company’s shares (the "Share Price Target"), (ii) the company's organic revenue growth (the "Revenue Growth Target"), (iii) the company's earnings per share after dilution (adjusted for share based payments) (the "EPS Target") and the company's Net Promoter Score (the "NPS Target"). All Performance Targets, except for the Share Price Target will be related to the development during the financial years 2019-2021 (the "Performance Period"). The number of Performance Shares allocated to each participant in relation to each Performance Target shall be weighted in accordance with the following:

Performance Targets CEO and other Group Management Key Employees
Share Price Target 40% N/A
Revenue Growth Target 20% 40%
EPS Target 20% 40%
NPS Target 20% 20%

The Share Price Target relates to the development of the company’s share price over the period from the date of the Annual General Meeting 2019 to and including 31 December 2021. The share price development will be measured based on the volume weighted average share price 30 trading days immediately following the Annual General Meeting 2019 and 30 trading days immediately preceding 31 December 2021. An increase in the share price with less than 24.7 per cent (minimum level) does not entitle to any vesting of any of the Performance Shares pertaining to the Share Price Target, an increase in the share price with 24.7 per cent will entitle to vesting of 25 per cent of the Performance Shares pertaining to the Share Price Target, an increase in the share price with 26.0 per cent (target level) will entitle to vesting of 50 per cent of the Performance Shares pertaining to the Share Price Target and an increase in the share price with 27.3 per cent or more (maximum level) will entitle to a vesting of all of the Performance Shares pertaining to the Share Price Target. In the event of an increase in the share price of between the minimum level and the target level or between the target level and the maximum level, respectively, vesting of the Performance Shares pertaining to the Share Price Target will occur linearly between 25 per cent and 50 per cent of the Performance Shares pertaining to the Share Price Target and between 50 per cent and 100 per cent of the Performance Shares pertaining to the Share Price Target, respectively.

The Revenue Growth Target, the EPS Target and the NPS Target shall be determined by the board of directors before LTI 2019 is offered to the participants. For each of these respective Performance Target, a minimum level, a target level and a maximum level shall be determined. If the minimum target is not achieved, no Performance Shares are vested in relation to the relevant Performance Target, if the minimum target is achieved, 25 per cent of the Performance Shares pertaining to the relevant Performance Target are vested, if the target level is achieved, 50 per cent of the Performance Shares pertaining to the relevant Performance Target are vested and if the maximum level is achieved, all the Performance Shares pertaining to the relevant Performance Target will be vested. In the event of an outcome between the minimum level and the target level or between the target level and the maximum level, respectively, vesting of the Performance Shares pertaining to the relevant Performance Target will occur linearly between 25 per cent and 50 per cent of the Performance Shares pertaining to the relevant Performance Target and between 50 per cent and 100 per cent of the Performance Shares pertaining to the relevant Performance Target, respectively.

The board of directors intends to present the determined targets regarding the Revenue Growth Target, the EPS Target and the NPS Target as well as the achievement of these in connection with the expiration of LTI 2019 at the latest.

The final number of Performance Shares vested by each participant shall be rounded downwards to the nearest whole number.

6.         In addition to the achievement of the Performance Targets, the allocation of Performance Shares shall be conditional upon that the weighted average quarterly ratio (calculated based on each of the four quarters in the financial year 2021) for "Net working capital - per cent of LTM net revenue" as reported in the company's full-year report for the financial year 2021 (the "NWC Ratio"), does not exceed certain levels to be determined by the board of directors before LTI 2019 is offered to the participants. The board of directors shall determine one threshold level and one maximum level for the NWC Ratio. If the threshold level is exceeded but the maximum level is not reached, the board of directors shall be entitled to decrease the number of Performance Shares to be allocated to the lower number of shares that the board of directors finds reasonable and if the maximum level is exceeded, no Performance Shares shall be allotted in LTI 2019.

7.          Before the number of Performance Shares to be allocated is finally determined, the board of directors shall also make a general evaluation if allocation pursuant to the principles set out above is reasonable, having regard to the company’s results and financial standing, to conditions on the stock market and to other circumstances in general. If the board of directors finds that it is not reasonable, then the board of directors may decrease the number of Performance Shares to be allocated to the lower number of shares that the board of directors finds reasonable. 

8.         The number of Performance Shares shall be subject to recalculation in consequence of a bonus issue, split, rights issue, and/or other similar company actions. 

9.         Allotment of Performance Shares shall take place within 30 days from the publication of the year-end report for the financial year 2021.

10.        Participation in LTI 2019 is conditional upon that the participation is legally possible and

that the participation in the company’s sole opinion can be made with reasonable administrative costs for the company.

11.         The board of directors shall be responsible for the details and management of LTI 2019

within the framework of the main conditions as set out above, and the board of directors shall be authorized to make minor adjustments to these conditions as required by law or for administrative reasons. The board of directors shall also be authorized to adjust or deviate from the terms and conditions as required by local laws and regulations as well as existing market practices. Furthermore, in the event of a public take-over offer, a sale of the company’s business, liquidation, merger or any other such transaction affecting the company, the board of directors shall, at its sole discretion, be entitled to resolve that the Performance Shares (partially or in full) shall vest and be allotted on completion of such transaction. The board of directors will make this resolution based on the level of achievement of the Performance Targets and any other factors deemed relevant by the board of directors. Finally, the board of directors is also entitled to adjust vesting and allotment if such has been made based on information which later proves to be incorrect.

B. Amendment of the Articles of Association

In order to enable the issuance of series C shares under LTI 2019, the board of directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to incorporate a new § 5 in the company’s Articles of Association in accordance with the following wording. Following the incorporation of the new section in the Articles of Association, the already existing shares shall be ordinary shares. 

5 § Classes of shares

Shares may be issued in two classes, ordinary shares and series C shares. The ordinary shares shall carry one vote per share and series C shares shall carry one-tenth of a vote per share. Shares of either share class may be issued up to an amount corresponding to the full share capital.

Series C shares do not entitle to dividends. Upon the dissolution of the company, series C shares shall carry equivalent right to the company’s assets as other shares, however, not to an amount exceeding the quota value of the share.

If the company resolves to issue new ordinary shares and series C shares, against payment other than contribution in kind, owners of ordinary shares and series C shares shall have pre-emption rights to subscribe for new shares of the same class pro rata to the number of shares previously held by them (primary pre-emption right). Shares which are not subscribed for pursuant to the primary pre-emption rights shall be offered to all shareholders for subscription (secondary pre-emption right). If the shares thus offered are not sufficient for the subscription pursuant to the secondary pre-emption rights, the shares shall be allocated between the subscribers pro rata to the number of shares previously held and, to the extent such allocation cannot be effected, by the drawing of lots.

If the company resolves to issue new shares of either solely ordinary shares or series C shares, against payment other than contribution in kind, all shareholders shall, irrespective of whether their shares are ordinary shares or series C shares, have pre-emption rights to subscribe for new shares pro rata to the number of shares previously held by them.

What is set out above with regard to pre-emption rights shall apply mutatis mutandis in the event of issues of warrants and convertible bonds, and shall not limit the right to resolve upon an issue with deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emption rights.

In the event of a bonus issue, new shares of each class shall be issued pro rata to the number of shares of the same class previously issued. In connection therewith, the owners of existing shares of a certain class shall entitle the holder to new shares of the same class. This shall not entail any restrictions on the possibility of issuing new shares of a new class by means of a bonus issue, following the required amendments of the Articles of Association.

Reduction of share capital, which in any case shall not fall below the minimum share capital, may, at the request of a holder of a series C share and after resolution by the company’s board of directors or a shareholders’ meeting, take place through redemption of series C shares. A request from a shareholder must be submitted in writing. When a resolution on reduction has been passed, an amount corresponding to the reduction amount shall be transferred to the company’s reserve fund, if the required funds are available. The redemption amount per series C share shall be the quota value of such share.

Following receipt of the redemption resolution, holders of shares subject to redemption shall promptly receive payment for the shares, or, if authorization for the redemption from the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Sw. Bolagsverket) or a court is required, following the receipt of notice that the final and effected resolution has been registered.

Series C shares held by the company may, upon resolution of the board of directors be reclassified into ordinary shares. Immediately thereafter, the board of directors shall register the reclassification with the Swedish Companies Registration Office. The reclassification is effected when it has been registered and the reclassification has been reflected in the central securities depository register. 

As a result of the incorporation of the new section, the existing sections 5 – 12 of the Articles of

Association will be renumbered.

C. Authorization on directed issues of series C shares

The board of directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to authorize the board of directors, for the period up until the next Annual General Meeting, on one or several occasions, to issue a maximum of 406,994 series C shares. The new shares may, with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, only be subscribed for by a bank or a securities company at a subscription price which corresponds to the quota value of the shares. The purpose of the authorization and the reason for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights in connection with an issue of shares is to secure delivery of Performance Shares under LTI 2019, which shall be effected through the company repurchasing the series C shares issued pursuant to the authorization in section D below and thereafter, when the series C shares have been converted to ordinary shares, by transferring ordinary shares to the participants in LTI 2019 in accordance with section E below. 

D. Authorization on repurchase of series C shares

The board of directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to authorize the board of directors, for the period up until the next Annual General Meeting, on one or several occasions, to repurchase its own series C shares. Repurchase may only be effected through a public offer directed to all holders of series C shares and shall comprise all outstanding series C shares. Repurchase may also be made of so-called interim shares, by Euroclear Sweden AB designated as a Paid Subscribed Share (Sw. Betald Tecknad Aktie (BTA)), regarding a series C share. Repurchase shall be made at a purchase price per share which corresponds to the quota value of the share. The purpose of the proposed repurchase authorization is to secure delivery of Performance Shares under LTI 2019. 

E. Resolution on transfer of own ordinary shares

In order to fulfil the company’s obligations towards participants in LTI 2019, the board of directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves that the company shall be entitled to transfer the company’s own ordinary shares as follows:

  1. The company shall have the right to transfer the number of ordinary shares that the company has a maximum obligation to allocate as Performance Shares to participants in LTI 2019, at most 406,994 shares.
  2. The number of shares that may be transferred pursuant to LTI 2019 shall be subject to recalculation in consequence of a bonus issue, split, rights issue, and/or other similar corporate action which affects the number of shares in the company.
  3. The right to acquire ordinary shares shall, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, vest in participants in LTI 2019 who are entitled to be allotted Performance Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of the program.
  4. Transfer of shares to participants in LTI 2019 shall be made free of charge and be executed at the relevant time specified in the terms and conditions for LTI 2019.

The reason for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights in connection with the transfers of own ordinary shares is to enable the company’s delivery of Performance Shares to participants in LTI 2019.

Costs, impact on key ratios, existing incentive programs and dilution

LTI 2019 will be accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2 which stipulates that the right to receive Performance Shares shall be expensed as a personnel cost over the vesting period.

The board of directors has made a preliminary cost calculation for LTI 2019, which is based on the assumption of a share price of SEK 67 at the start of the program. Based on a Monte Carlo simulation, the company estimates that the IFRS 2 costs of the Performance Shares related to the Share Price Target are SEK 30 per Performance Share. The IFRS 2 costs for the Performance Shares related to the other Performance Targets have been estimated to SEK 67 per Performance Share. If the company estimates an employee turnover of 0 per cent until shares are received approximately three years later, and excludes future dividends of the company's share, the total costs for LTI 2019 including costs for social security contributions, are estimated to be approximately MSEK 32.7, provided that all the Performance Targets are met in full.

As per the date of the notice, the number of shares in the company amounts to 57,082,433.

The maximum number of Performance Shares amounts to 406,994, which corresponds to a dilution of approximately 0.71 per cent of the company’s share capital and votes after full dilution, calculated on the number of shares that will be added upon full issuance of Performance Shares in connection with LTI 2019.

Based on the calculation of cost and the dilution as per the above, the key figure earnings per share for the full year 2018, assuming a corporate tax of 21.4 per cent, had been changed from SEK 0.75 to SEK 0.65 had the company expensed a 8/36 of the program in 2018.

Since previously, there are two incentive programs in the form of one employee option program (the "Options Program 2015") and one warrant program (the "Warrants Program 2018/2021") outstanding in the company. In case all warrants issued in connection with the outstanding incentive programs are exercised for subscription of shares, a total of 3,603,347 new shares will be issued. In case all outstanding incentive programs as well as the proposed LTI 2019 are exercised in full, a total of 4,010,341 new shares will be issued, which corresponds to a dilution of approximately 6.56 per cent of the company’s share capital and votes after full dilution, calculated on the number of shares that will be added upon full exercise of all outstanding incentive programs as well as the proposed LTI 2019.

The above calculations regarding dilution and impact on key ratios are subject to re-calculation of the warrants in accordance with the customary recalculation terms included in the complete applicable warrant terms. 

Preparation of the proposal

The proposal for LTI 2019 has been prepared by the Remuneration Committee together with

external consultants. The final proposal has been resolved upon by the board of directors.

Particular majority requirements

For a valid resolution on the proposal pursuant to item 15, the proposal has to be supported by

shareholders representing at least two-thirds of the votes cast as well as of all shares represented at the Annual General Meeting. For a valid resolution on the proposal pursuant to item 16, the proposal has to be supported by shareholders representing at least nine-tenths of the votes cast as well as of all shares represented at the Annual General Meeting.
