In all essential aspects, the Board’s proposal regarding supplementation is that these principles be extended to also serve as guidance for the executive managements of the portfolio companies. Item 8 – The Board’s proposal for resolution regarding share option and warrant programmes in subsidiaries The Board of Directors proposes that the EGM authorise the implementation of share option and warrant programmes in the subsidiaries Citat Group AB, Cygate AB and Mercuri International Group AB. All of the following programmes will be offered to the employees at fair market value, confirmed through an independent valuation by ÖhrlingsPricewaterhouseCoopers AB (ÖPWC), as determined on the date of grant. Item 8(a) – Share options programme in Citat Group AB The programme refers to share options for shares in Citat Group AB. The number of options offered corresponds to 8 per cent of Bure’s shareholding in the company (720,654 options). The company has no outstanding options programmes. The number of participants will be no more than 8. The options have a term of 5 years and may be exercised to purchase shares during the period 1-31 August 2011 or such earlier date when the company’s shares are listed or transferred to another party. The exercise price will be the estimated current market value of the share indexed by 10 per cent annually, equal to SEK 46.50 at the expiry date. Since all transactions will be carried out at fair market value, no social security expenses or other costs in accordance with IFRS 2 will arise for the company. ÖPWC has set the value per share option at SEK 2.20. Item 8(b) – Share options and warrant programmes in Cygate AB The programme refers to the issuance of share options to some 10 employees in Sweden, and the sale of shares to some 5 employees in Finland. The share options refer to shares in Cygate AB, and will be offered to the employees at market value as determined on the date of grant.

Since all transactions will be carried out at market value, no social security or other expenses as defined by IFRS 2 will arise for the company. ÖPWC has set the value per share option at SEK 0.07 and the value per share at SEK 0.75. The offer includes a total of no more than 3 per cent of the outstanding shares in Cygate (15,981,728 shares).
