Item 7
On 11 June 2007, a decision by the Company was announced regarding write-off of
(i) the deficit of SEK 175 million in the opening balance at 1 January 2007 relating to profit shares paid for the years 2005 and 2006 and
(ii) the deficit of SEK 140 million arising during 2007 in the profit-sharing system (“the write offs”).
These deficits and the write offs were the result of the revaluation of trading positions that were announced on 8 May and 24 May 2007.
On 11 June 2007, it was announced that certain senior executives in the Company had decided to forego profit share relating to the year 2007. Furthermore, it was announced that the Company’s Board of Directors had decided that the allocation to the employees (excluding the aforementioned senior executives) share in Carnegie’s profit-sharing system (described in the 2006 Annual Report and including the 50-per cent principle adopted by the Board of Directors) will take place for the year 2007 without taking the write offs into account but with consideration taken to the profit share from which the senior executives have abstained (“the Allocation Decision”), meaning that other employees’ share in the profit-sharing system will be higher with respect to the year of 2007 than what follows from the 50-per cent principle. The Company’s Board of Directors decided to propose that the Allocation Decision be approved at an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Shareholders. If the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Shareholders should not approve the Allocation Decision, it will be rescinded.
The Board of Directors proposes that the Allocation Decision is approved.
____________________________________
The Board of Directors’ complete proposal as set forth above for a resolution regarding item 7 is also available to the Shareholders at the Company’s offices and on the Company’s website www.carnegie.se/ir. A copy of the proposal will also be sent, free of charge to the recipient, to Shareholders who so request and who provide their postal addresses.
