Resolution regarding the principles for the composition of the nomination committee (item 12)

The nomination committee proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to approve the nomination committee’s proposal for resolution regarding the nomination committee as set forth below.

Ahead of the annual general meeting 2020, the board of directors proposes that the nomination committee shall be composed of members appointed by the three largest shareholders listed in the shareholders’ register maintained by Euroclear Sweden as of 31 August 2019 and the chairman of the board of directors, or another board member appointed by the board of directors who has good knowledge about Swedish Corporate Governance, who shall convene the first meeting of the nomination committee. The member that is appointed by the largest shareholder shall be appointed chairman of the nomination committee, unless the nomination committee unanimously appoints someone else. However, the chairman of the board of directors may not be chairman of the nomination committee. If earlier than three months prior to the annual general meeting, one or several of the shareholders that have appointed members to the nomination committee no longer are among the three largest shareholders, members appointed by these shareholders shall resign and the shareholders who then are among the three largest shareholders may appoint their members. Should a member resign from the nomination committee before its work is completed, and the nomination committee consider it necessary to replace him or her, such substitute member is to be appointed by the same shareholder or, if the shareholder is no longer one of the largest shareholders, the largest shareholder in turn. Changes of the composition of the nomination committee must be announced immediately. The members of the nomination committee shall not receive any remuneration. Edgeware is to pay any expenses that the nomination committee may incur in its work. The term of office for the nomination committee ends when the composition of the following nomination committee has been announced.

Resolution regarding guidelines for remuneration and other terms of employment for the group management (item 13)

The board of directors proposes that the remuneration of the executive management shall consist of fixed salary, variable remuneration, long-term share based or share related incentive program (LTI) and pension provisions. The total remuneration shall be based on market terms, be competitive, well balanced and not wage leading as well as contribute to good ethics and company culture. Fixed salary shall be based on the executive management’s competence and area of responsibility, be individual and shall normally be reviewed every year. Variable remuneration shall be linked to predetermined and measurable criteria based on the Company's net sales. These criteria are designed with the aim of promoting long-term value creation. For the CEO the variable remuneration may not exceed
60 percent of the fixed annual salary, for the sales manager the variable remuneration may not exceed 205 percent of the fixed annual salary and for other members of executive management the variable remuneration may not exceed 65 percent of the fixed annual salary. The executive management may also be granted customary non-monetary benefits, such benefits shall however not constitute a material part of total remuneration.

The vesting period of the LTI-program must be at least three years. The LTI-program shall be based on shares or share related securities. The LTI shall ensure long-term incentives linked to Edgeware’s development. Every share based LTI-program shall require approval of shareholders before launch.

Pension benefits shall be premium based and constitute 4.5 percent of the pension qualifying salary up to 7.5 income base amounts and 30 percent on any excess amount.

The board of directors is entitled to deviate from the guidelines if a special justification exists in an individual case.
