It was resolved that director fees would be paid in a total amount of SEK 2,450,000, to be distributed in an unchanged amount of SEK 575,000 to the Chairman of the Board and SEK 375,000 to each other member elected by the Annual General Meeting. The Meeting re-elected Viveca Ax:son Johnson (chairman) and elected Kerstin Stenberg, Board member of Swedbank Robur Fonder AB, and Peter Rudman, Corporate Governance Director at Nordea Funds, as members of the Nomination Committee. It was resolved that the guiding principles for determining the salary and other remuneration of the President and other members of the company’s management, as adopted at the 2009 Annual General Meeting, will continue to apply in all material respects. The Meeting authorized the Board, prior to the next Annual General Meeting, to repurchase a maximum of 10 percent of the total number of NCC shares. The shares are to be purchased on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm at prices within the registered span of share prices at each particular purchase occasion. The reason for the repurchases is to provide the Board with an opportunity to adjust the Company’s capital structure.
