Suggestion regarding change to the articles of association (item 12)
The board suggests that the annual general meeting decides on changes in the articles of association partly as a result of the new Companies' Act (2005:551), and partly in the form of editorial changes.

- § 1 it is suggested, should have the following wording: "The company's trade name is Mandator AB (publ)."
- § 3 it is suggested, that the wording should be changed in order to clarify the company's objective. It is suggested that the wording should be as follows: "Operations - The object of the company's operations shall be to own and administer stocks and shares in Swedish and foreign companies, to carry out activities that are common to the group, to carry out either themselves or via their subsidiaries; consultancy, training and development operations within the following areas: computer hardware, data based information, communication and accounting systems, consultancy operations within company management and company development; to carry out operations concerning simulators, telecommunications, energy distribution, industrial technology, process and installation technology as well as media, film and TV technology along with carrying out design work for Internet systems, financial operations; the administration of valuable documents as well as other things related to the above mentioned areas of operation.

- § 5 it is suggested, should have the following wording: "Shares - The number of shares shall be, no less than 56,000,000 and no more than 224,000,000."

- § 6 it is suggested, should have the following wording: "The board shall consist of a minimum of three and a maximum of eight board members with a maximum of three deputies."

- A new § 9 is suggested, with the following wording: "A shareholder's right to participate in the annual general meeting - Shareholders who want to participate in negotiations at the annual general meeting, should on the one hand, be listed on the printout or other report in the entire register of shareholders, with regard to circumstances, five days before the meeting, and on the other hand, register their participation to the company at the latest by 12.00 o'clock on the day indicated on the notice to attend the meeting. The last mentioned day may not be a Sunday, or a general bank holiday, a Saturday, Midsummer Eve, Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve and may not fall earlier than the fifth working day before the annual general meeting.

- A new § 10 is to be added with the following wording: "Representatives and assistants at the annual general meeting - Shareholders or their representatives may have, at the most, two assistants with them at the annual general meeting. Shareholder assistants may come to the annual general meeting only if the shareholder has registered the number of assistants to the company in advance. This registration must be done at the latest when registering shareholders' participation at the annual general meeting."

- § 9 changes number to § 11 and it is suggested that the first paragraph should be worded as follows: "The following matters should be taken up at the annual general meeting."

- § 10, it is suggested that this is deleted.

- § 12 changes number to § 13 and it is suggested that it should have the following wording: "The shares of the Company shall be registered in a reconciliation record in accordance with Act (1998:1479) regarding account management of financial instruments."

The board suggests finally that the chairman of the board be authorised to undertake any adjustments in the changed articles of association which the Swedish Companies Registration Office may demand for registration.

Suggestion for the establishment of a nominating committee (item 13)
The board suggests that a nominating committee is appointed so that the three largest shareholders as of 31 August along with the share investors are encouraged to elect their own representatives, who together with the chairman of the board as convenor, work out a suggestion which can be presented at the annual general meeting. The committee's nominations shall be made public at the latest, 6 months before the annual general meeting.

Suggestion regarding the authorisation for the board to make a decision on a new share issue for acquisition (item 14)
The board suggests that at the annual general meeting the board receives authorisation, assuming that the articles of association do not need to be changed on one or more occasions during the period leading up to the next annual general meeting, to take a decision on an increase in share capital of, at the most, 4,229,313 sek and 50 öre via one or several emissions of a total of 16,917,254 shares. It is suggested that this authorisation shall include the right, for the board, to make a decision that the issue shall be able to take place with a deviation from shareholders' preferential rights and/or including terms of subscription in-kind and/or set-off or else with terms. The reason for the possibility of deviating from the shareholder's preferential rights is to create the conditions so as to be able to acquire companies. The issuing price shall be determined based on a market price.
___________________________
For a valid decision in accordance with items 12 and 14 above, it is required that the decision is assisted by shareholders representing at least two thirds of the votes cast as well as the shares which are represented at the annual general meeting.

Accounting information and the auditor's report, along with the board's complete proposal for the decision in accordance with items 13 and 14, as well as the articles of association in their suggested new wording will, from Thursday 23 March 2006 be available at the company and will be sent out to shareholders who desire a copy and who submit their postal address.
