Item 10
Proposal for resolution regarding cancellation of Share Programme 2008.

Background
The Annual General Meeting 2007 passed a resolution to establish a long-term, performance-based share programme (“Share Programme 2008”) directed towards about 100 key employees.

At the same time as the resolution was adopted, in order to enable the programme, resolutions were passed regarding an amendment of the Articles of Association, according to which a new class of shares designated preference shares was introduced, a directed share issue by way of issuing 935 000 preference shares, an authorisation for the Board to decide on a directed purchase offer of own preference shares, and a resolution regarding transfer of own ordinary shares to the participants in Share Programme 2008.

All of the above resolutions, except the resolution regarding the transfer of ordinary shares to the participants in Share Programme 2008, have been carried out.

The Extraordinary General Meeting held on 21 November 2007, resolved to instruct the Board of Directors to study how Share Programme 2008 should be adjusted taking into consideration the revaluation of the trading portfolio. The Board of Directors has thereafter, in consultation with Carnegie’s Group Management, considered the matter. The Group Management have proposed to the Board of Directors to cancel Share Programme 2008 and replace it with a new long-term incentive programme which better serves the interests of the Shareholders and the employees.

The Board of Directors
The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting adopts a resolution that Share Programme 2008 will be cancelled in advance, meaning, inter alia, that no transfer of ordinary shares to the participants in Share Programme 2008 will be carried out. During 2008, the Board intends to return to the Shareholders with a proposal regarding a new long-term incentive programme for employees.

Item 11
The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting approves that the following guidelines on remuneration for the senior management of the Company be applied.

Remuneration policy 2008 on remuneration for senior management.
Carnegie applies the following policy on remuneration for senior management. Senior management is defined as Group Management of Carnegie, i.e the CEO, the COO, the CFO and the Heads of the Business Areas. Remuneration to the Group Management is based on the same principles for remuneration applicable for all employees in the Carnegie Group.

A clear and stable incentive structure is important in order to attract and retain the best employees, as the personal commitment and interest in Carnegie’s total progress plays a major role in increasing productivity and improving performance. The personal commitment is promoted through Carnegie’s profit-share system, which was introduced in the 1990’s and through share-related incentive programmes, as described in the IPO prospectus in 2001.

Total compensation to all employees is composed of a fixed part and a variable part. The fixed part consists of salaries and salary-based premium payments for pension insurance. All of Carnegie’s pension obligations are based on defined contribution plans and are reinsured with external parties. The variable part is the profit-share, calculated as a fixed formula, 50 per cent of the Group’s operating profit, before profit-share, after a deduction of an amount equal to 12- months STIBOR (Stockholm Interbank Offered Rates) on the opening balance of the Shareholders’ equity for the year, adjusted for any dividends distributed to Shareholders. Profit-share is only distributed following a positive result for the full year, and zero or negative results therefore leads to zero profit-share.

Profit-share is allocated to all employees on a discretionary basis. The basis for the allocation of profit-share to individuals is a company-wide evaluation process, including Group Management, with the purpose to review the employees according to professional competence, leadership skills, achievement of previously set objectives and corporate values. The evaluation process is reviewed and approved by the Remuneration Committee. In addition to this, the Chairman of the Board also holds individual discussions with members of the Board and of Group Management in order to evaluate the CEO.

In 2008 a special arrangement will apply for Carnegie’s new CEO, Mikael Ericson. The bonus for Mikael Ericson, which is a fixed amount, shall become payable provided that Mikael Ericson has acquired Carnegie shares to an amount which is equal to the gross bonus amount, and also that Mikael Ericson when payment of the bonus is due in March 2009, still is active, and has not been given notice as CEO in Carnegie and, furthermore still is the owner of the acquired Carnegie shares.

In addition to Carnegie’s profit-share system, the employees have during 2001-2004 been offered participation in long-term incentive programmes in the form of warrants. The last of the three warrant programmes issued expired in April 2007. As of 31 December 2007, there were zero (0) remaining warrants outstanding. The Company has no outstanding accounts payable due to these programmes nor any costs associated with these during 2007.

At the Annual General Meeting 2007 it was resolved to introduce Share Programme 2008 directed towards about 100 key employees. Provided that the Annual General Meeting resolves in accordance with the Board’s proposal regarding the advance cancellation of Share Programme 2008, Share Programme 2008 will not be a part of the remuneration to the Executive Officers in Carnegie during 2008. During 2008 the Board intends to return to the Shareholders with a new proposal for a long-term share based incentive programme to replace Share Programme 2008. The issued preference shares which afterwards have been repurchased by the Company due to Share Programme 2008, will at present be kept by the Company in order to await a resolution regarding whether the preference shares will be used within the framework of a new incentive programme.

The total cost for the Company, when it comes to remuneration to senior management will consequently consist of a fixed part and a variable part. If the result is zero or negative, no variable part will be paid. If the result is positive, the variable part of the remuneration will be paid discretionally, within the framework of the profit-share system.


Item12
The Nomination Committee proposes that the Annual General Meeting adopts the following procedure for appointment of the Nomination Committee.

Until the Nomination Committee has elected a Chairman among themselves the Chairman of the Board shall be the convener of the Nomination Committee.
