Board of directors etc (items 1 and 11–13)
The nomination committee, comprising Anders Algotsson (AFA Försäkring and chairman of the nomination committee), Bo Öberg (shareholder of class A-shares and founder), Caroline af Ugglas (Skandia Liv) and the chairman of the board of directors of Medivir Göran Pettersson, proposes the following:

• Attorney at law Erik Sjöman to be appointed chairman of the meeting (item 1).
• The board of directors shall consist of six members with no deputies. The company shall have one auditor without deputy auditors (item 11).
• The remuneration to the board of directors shall be paid in a total amount of not more than SEK 2,055,000 allocated as follows. The chairman shall receive SEK 470,000 and other members which are not employed by the company shall receive SEK 210,000 each. Remuneration for work performed in relation to committees is proposed to be paid in a total amount of not more than SEK 535,000, whereof SEK 210,000 shall be allocated to the audit committee (whereof SEK 80,000 to the summoner of the committee and SEK 65,000 to each of the other two members), SEK 115,000 to the remuneration committee (whereof SEK 65,000 to the summoner of the committee and SEK 50,000 to the other member) and SEK 210,000 to the R&D committee (whereof SEK 80,000 to the summoner of the committee and SEK 65,000 to each of the other two members). For board members resident outside of Europe (this currently applies to the proposed new board member Rolf A.

Further information on the proposed members of the board is available at www.medivir.se.

Nomination committee (item 14)
The nomination committee proposes that the annual general meeting shall resolve to appoint a nomination committee for the annual general meeting 2013 mainly in accordance with the same procedure as the preceding year.

The chairman of the board shall contact the three largest shareholders in respect of voting power by the end of the third quarter. These three shareholders are offered to appoint one representative each for the nomination committee. In addition, the chairman of the board shall be a member of the nomination committee. If a shareholder chooses not to exercise the right to appoint a representative, the right shall pass on to the largest shareholder in respect of voting power who has not appointed a representative. The nomination committee is to elect a chairman among its members to lead the work of the committee.

If any of the shareholders who has appointed a member of the nomination committee sells a not insignificant part of its shareholding during the nomination committees’ term or for any other reason ceases to be a larger shareholder with rights to appoint a member of the nomination committee, the member appointed by such shareholder should resign from the nomination committee. This member shall then be replaced by a member appointed by the shareholder who, based on voting power following the sale, instead is one of the three largest shareholders in the company. If such shareholder does not utilise its right to appoint a member of the nomination committee, the above described procedure shall be applied.

In the event a member no longer represents the shareholder who appointed him or her, or otherwise resigns from the nomination committee prior to the completion of the nomination committee’s work, the shareholder shall be given the opportunity to appoint a new member of the nomination committee.

The nomination committee shall pursue the tasks that, according to the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance, are the responsibility of the nomination committee.

Guidelines for remuneration to the management (item 15)
The board proposes remuneration guidelines for senior executives that generally correspond to the guidelines that have been applied up to now. Under the guidelines, the company shall offer a total remuneration on market norms and enable skilled senior executives to be hired and retained. The remuneration to senior executives may consist of fixed salary, variable salary, incentive programmes resolved by the general meeting, pension and other benefits. The fixed salary shall relate to individual responsibilities and experience. The variable cash remuneration may not exceed 50% of the annual fixed salary. In order to facilitate the company’s long-term value creation, variable remunerations shall be based on pre-determined and measurable criteria.

Authorisation to issue new shares (item 16)
The board of director proposes that the general meeting resolves to authorise the board, for the period up to the next annual general meeting to adopt decisions, whether on one or several occasions and whether with or without pre-emption rights for the shareholders, to issue new shares of class B to an amount not exceeding in total 10 per cent of the total number of outstanding class B-shares in the company following utilization of the authorisation. New issue may be made with or without provisions concerning non-cash consideration, set-off or other provision specified in Chapter 13 Section 5, first paragraph, 6, of the Swedish Companies Act. The purpose of the authorisation is to provide the board with flexibility in its work to secure that the company, in a suitable way, can be provided with capital for the financing of the business, acquisitions of companies and products, and to enable a broadening of the ownership of the company.

The board or the managing director shall have the right to make such minor adjustments in this resolution that may be necessary in connection with the registration.

Documentation
The annual report and other supporting documentation for resolutions will be available at the company’s offices, Blasieholmsgatan 2, 111 48 Stockholm, at latest three weeks prior to the general meeting and will be sent to shareholders who so request and who have specified their postal address.
