Resolution regarding the nomination committee The nomination committee proposes that the AGM resolves: To re-appoint all current nomination committee members: Hampus Ericsson and Erik Sjöström as representatives of the company’s two largest shareholders (JCE Group AB and Skandia Liv, respectively), John Örtengren, representative for minority shareholders via the Swedish Shareholders' Association, and Wigon Thuresson, board chairperson, as convener and committee member. Thuresson does not have voting rights. Unless members agree otherwise, the nomination committee chairperson must be the committee member who represents the shareholder with the most votes. That if, during the nomination committee’s term of office, a shareholder who is represented in the nomination committee is no longer one of the two largest shareholders (block of votes), then the member who represents such a shareholder must relinquish his or her position, and the shareholder who enters the rank of the two largest shareholders appoints a new member. Shareholders that appoint nomination committee members have the right to discharge members and appoint new members. Changes in the nomination committee’s composition shall be made public as soon as they occur. That the nomination committee shall develop and submit proposals to the 2011 AGM for: • AGM chairman • Board members • Board chairman • Board remuneration, i.e., for chairman and for other members plus remuneration for possible committee work • Auditors’ fees • Nomination committee rules for the 2011 AGM That in conjunction with its assignments, the nomination committee shall comply with the Corporate Governance Code concerning nomination committee responsibilities such as submitting certain information to the company so that the company can fulfil its communications obligations per the code. That the nomination committee sits until a new nomination committee is appointed (or the AGM decides otherwise). Item 16. Resolution concerning remuneration guidelines for senior executives The board proposes that the AGM pass a resolution on remuneration guidelines for executives. The resolution follows the guidelines determined by the 2009 AGM, and is based on existing contracts between Cybercom and the executives (here, executive means the CEO and other persons in Group management). Cybercom's website clearly presents this group. Cybercom shall offer market rates that enable recruitment and retention of executives. Remuneration to senior executives consists of a fixed salary, variable pay, pension provisions, and other benefits such as leasing cars. The variable part is based on achieving operational goals, of which the absolute majority is based on financial goals. The CEO’s variable pay shall not exceed 30% of the fixed salary. For other executives, variable pay may not exceed two monthly salaries. Retirement age for executives is 65. The company shall annually set aside an amount equivalent to 30% of the CEO's annual salary for pension and insurance solutions. Other executives’ pension benefits are determined by a Group-wide scale based on age and salary. Local rules apply to persons outside Sweden. All executives, including the CEO, are obligated to give six-month notice when terminating their employment. The company is obligated to give 6-month notice when terminating the CEO’s employment, and between six and 18-month notice for other executives. The CEO and certain other executives are entitled to 6-month severence pay in addition to salary during the notice period. Total value of these benefits, in relation to the total remuneration, must be limited and equivalent to normal market terms and conditions. The board may make exceptions to these guidelines if, in an individual case, there is reason to do so. Item 17. Changes to the articles of association The board proposes changing the company name in the articles of association, section 1 from “Cybercom Group Europe AB” to “Cybercom Group AB (publ)”. Majority requirements A valid decision – as per the board's proposal in items 17 – requires that the decision is supported by at least two-thirds of the votes cast as well as represented shares at the AGM. Number of shares and votes in the company The total number of shares and votes in the company on the date this notification was issued is 36,087,899.
