Proposals related to Agenda items

Agenda item 2
The Board of Directors proposes that Gunnar Johansson be elected Chairman of the Meeting.

Agenda item 8 and 24

The general options scheme
The authority to allot new ordinary shares comprises a maximum of 400,000 options to be issued after the release of the interim report for the second quarter 2007. Some of these options may be issued at another point in time during 2007. These options will constitute the third series of four within Unibet’s share option scheme. Unibet intends to obtain authority to allot future shares for series 2008 at a future annual general meeting.

The balance of the authority to allot new ordinary shares relates to the options outstanding at 31 December 2006 which were taken over from the previous parent company following the scheme of arrangement.

Each option shall entitle the holder to subscribe for one share with a nominal amount of 0.5p each. The exercise price for these options shall correspond to 110 percent of the average market value of the Unibet share during a 5 day period prior to the decision to issue the options. The newly issued options will entitle the holder to subscribe for a share in the company from November 1, 2010 to November 15, 2010. The options will be issued to employees in the group management of Unibet.

The right to exercise the granted options will be conditional upon the holder remaining an employee of Unibet for at least three years, up to the time when the options are exercised, and on the achievement of a number of financial goals for 2007. The financial goals will be set by the board, which will also determine whether the goals were met or not at the end of each year.

Addendum relating to the general programme
There is an addendum to the previous scheme which applies to the recruitment of new staff. Options issued under the addendum give the employee the right to subscribe for shares, provided that he or she remains an employee of Unibet for a period of at least one year from the grant date. The options may be granted at other times than in connection with the interim report for the second quarter. In other respects, the terms and conditions are the same as for the general options scheme.

Information relating to both programmes
Since the number of options that become exercisable depends upon the company’s performance during the term of the options, it is difficult to forecast the actual dilution resulting from the options. If all the issued 400,000 options are exercised, the increase in the company’s share capital will be GBP 2,000, corresponding to 1.4% of the share capital after dilution. Also considering previously issued options, the aggregate dilution amounts to 2.7% of the share capital.

The purpose with the proposed plan is to retain and recruit key individuals to the group, as well as increasing the motivation of the employees. The board considers the proposed plan to be advantageous for the group and the company’s shareholders.

Agenda item 10
The Board of Directors proposes that a dividend of SEK 5.50 (equivalent to GBP 0.40 at current exchange rates and payable in SEK) be declared to be paid to owners of shares/SDR’s as at 25th April 2007. A VPC record date 30th April is proposed. If the AGM approves, the dividend is expected to be distributed by VPC on 4th May 2007. For accounting purposes the rate of exchange to be used shall be the SEK-GBP rate prevalent on the date of payment.

Agenda item 11
The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM approves the principles for remuneration as set out in the remuneration report on pages 28 and 29 of the Company’s Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31st December 2006.

Agenda item 12
The Nomination Committee proposes that the Board of Directors should consist of six Directors and no Deputy Directors.

Agenda item 13
The Nomination Committee proposes that a total fee of GBP 301,750 be paid to Directors elected at the AGM, who are not employees of the Company. It is proposed that the Board of Directors will distribute the fee within the Board so that the Chairman will receive a fee of GBP 130,000 and a fee of either GBP 39,750 or GBP 26,250 be paid to each other Director, and an additional GBP 7,000 be paid for Audit Committee work, 3,500 for Remuneration Committee work and GBP 10,000 for Legal Committee work and an additional GBP 1,750 be paid to the Chairman of each committee.

The Remuneration Committee also proposed that for project work outside of normal Board work, which is assigned by the Board, a fee of GBP 1,000 per full working day be paid.

Agenda item 14-18
CVs for Directors are to be found on page 60 in the Unibet Group plc Annual Report for 2006 and on the company’s website.

Agenda item 19
Staffan Persson is a Swedish citizen, born 1956 and has a B.Sc. Economics degree. Mr Persson is one of the founders and senior partners of the venture capital company ITP. ITP focuses on early investments in growth companies and has been a shareholder in Unibet since 1999. Mr. Persson is also non-executive chairman in the Swedish DMA-specialist Neonet. During 1985 to 1995 Mr. Persson held senior positions at several Swedish and international investment banks including HSBC Investment Bank, focusing on M&A and corporate finance.

Agenda item 20
The Nomination Committee proposes that Anders Ström is appointed the Chairman of the Board and Daniel Johannesson is appointed Deputy Chairman.

Agenda item 21
It is proposed that the Chairman of the Board be authorised to invite not less than two shareholders to each appoint a member who, together with the Chairman of the Board, shall constitute a Nomination Committee. The composition of the Nomination Committee shall be published in connection with the interim financial statements for the third quarter 2007. Members of the Nomination Committee shall receive no fees, but any costs incurred in the course of the nomination work shall be borne by the Company. The term of office of the Nomination Committee shall extend until a new Nomination Committee is appointed.

Agenda item 23
The Board of directors proposes that the AGM resolves upon guidelines for remuneration to management.

Remuneration to senior management shall be composed of a fixed basic salary, potential variable remuneration, other benefits and pension. The total remuneration shall be in accordance with market conditions. The variable remuneration shall have a predetermined limit and be based on the outcome of specified financial and other goals (and in some cases other key figures) within the individual’s area of responsibility.

In the event that a management employee is dismissed, there may be a right to payment in lieu of notice, in which case there will be a predetermined limit. Should the employee resign, there shall be no right to such a payment. At management employee’s resignation, the notice period shall be determined by the terms of his employment contract..

The normal age for retirement shall be 65.

The Board of directors shall have the right to depart from the guidelines in individual cases if there are particular grounds for such departure.

Agenda item 25
The Board of Directors proposes that the acquisition of shares/SDR’s shall take place on the Stockholm Stock Exchange or via an offer to acquire the shares/SDR’s to all shareholders. Repurchases may take place on multiple occasions and will be based on market terms, prevailing regulations and the capital situation at any given time. Notification of any purchase will be made to the Stockholm Stock Exchange and details will appear in the Company’s annual report and accounts.

The objective of the buyback is to achieve added value for the Company’s shareholders and to give the Board increased flexibility with the Company’s capital structure.

Following repurchase the intention of the Board would be to either cancel, use as consideration for an acquisition or issue to employees under a Share Option programme.

Once repurchased under the Maltese Companies Act further shareholder approval will be required before those shares could be cancelled only.

If used as consideration for an acquisition the intention would be that they would be issued as shares/SDR’s and not sold first.


Shareholders/SDR holders representing approximately 24.4% of the voting rights of all shares in the Company have stated that they intend to vote in favour of the proposals of the Nomination Committee.


The Annual Report in Swedish and English, will be available on the Company’s website www.unibetgroupplc.com from 27 March 2007.


By order of the Board
Unibet Group plc
