Item 12: Resolution regarding guidelines for remuneration to senior executives

The board of directors of the Company proposes that the annual general meeting resolves on guidelines for remuneration to senior executives in accordance with the below.

Who the guidelines include and the applicability of the guidelines

These guidelines for remuneration to senior executives include directors, the CEO and persons who report directly to the CEO.

The guidelines shall be applied to fixed based salary and variable remuneration agreed upon, and to changes made to such remuneration, after the guidelines have been adopted by the general meeting.

The guidelines do not include remuneration resolved by the general meeting or other remuneration paid to senior executives and which is not explicitly stated in these guidelines.

The board of directors shall have the right to temporarily deviate, in whole or in part, from the guidelines if in an individual case it is considered that a deviation from the guidelines is commercially justified according to the Board's assessment.

The forms of remuneration, etc.

Remuneration to senior executives consists of a fixed based salary and variable remuneration (short-term incentives). The general meeting may in addition - and independently of these guidelines - resolve on share or share price-related remuneration.

The Company's board of directors must in special cases be able to be remunerated for services within their respective areas of competence, which do not constitute board work. A market fee must be paid for these services, which must be approved by the board of directors and informed at the general meeting.

Fixed based salary

Fixed based salary for the CEO and other senior executives is reassessed annually.

Variable compensation (short-term incentives)

The variable remuneration shall consist of two parts. One part is determined by the achievement of certain goals for the Company, while the other part is determined by the achievement of individual goals.

The main part of the variable remuneration is linked to the Company's financial targets, while the individual part constitutes a smaller share of the same.

Goals for the CEO are proposed by the Remuneration Committee and decided by the Board, while goals for other senior executives are proposed by the CEO and decided by the Remuneration Committee.

Goals are decided during the first quarter of each financial year and the fulfillment of goals is measured and payment is made as soon as possible after the annual general meeting has approved the annual report for the year of earnings.

The variable remuneration can amount to a maximum of 30 percent of the fixed basic salary for the CEO and CFO and 20 percent of the fixed basic salary for other senior executives.

The current employment agreement runs during the notice period. If severance pay were to be paid, no variable compensation is paid for the period after the end of the notice period. The variable remuneration must be pensionable.

Long-term incentives

Senior executives may be offered incentive programs which are mainly to be share or share price related. Share and share price-related incentive programs must be resolved by the general meeting and are therefore not covered by these guidelines.

Item 13: Resolution for the board to resolve on issuances

The board of directors of the Company proposes that the annual general meeting of the shareholders shall resolves to authorize the board of directors until the next annual general meeting, on one or more occasions, with or without preferential rights for the shareholders, to issue shares, convertibles and/or warrants, with the right to subscribe for and convert into shares in the Company, respectively, corresponding to a maximum of 10 percent of the Company's share capital after dilution based on the number of shares in the Company at the time when the authorization is used for the first time, to be paid in cash, through set-off or in kind. The reason for the authorization and deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is to enable raising capital for expansion through acquisitions of companies or assets and for the business of the Company as well as to adapt the Company’s capital and/or ownership structure. If issuances are carried out with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, such issue shall be made in accordance with customary market terms. If the board of directors finds it suitable in order to enable delivery of shares in connection with a share issuance as set out above it may be made at a subscription price corresponding to the shares quota value.

The board of directors or anyone appointed by the board of directors is given the right to make the adjustments necessary in connection with the registration of the resolution at the Companies Registration Office.

Item 14: Resolution regarding incentive program 2021/2024 for senior executives and employees through issuance and transfer of warrants

Upon recommendation of the remuneration committee, the board of directors of the Company proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to implement an incentive program through issuance of warrants to senior executives, employees and other key persons within the Company and the company group and to Nilar AB, reg. no. 556790-0815, (the "Subsidiary"), with subsequent transfer to senior executives, employees and other key persons within the Company and the company group ("Incentive program 2021/2024") in accordance with the below.

Background and rationale

The purpose of the proposal is to establish conditions to maintain and increase the motivation of senior executives, employees and other key persons within the Company and company group. The board of directors finds that it is in all shareholders' interest that senior executives, employees and other key persons, which are considered important to the development of the company group, have a long term interest in developing high value of the Company's share. A long term ownership engagement is expected to stimulate an increased interest for the business and result in a whole as well as to increase the motivation for the participants and to create a common interest for the Company's shareholders and the participant.

Resolutions in accordance with items 14a and 14b below shall be made as one resolution and are therefore conditional on each other.

A description of other incentive programs, the preparation of the proposal, costs for the program and effect on important key figures etc. is presented below.

Item 14a: Resolution regarding issue of warrants

The board of directors of the Company proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to issue a maximum of 370,000 warrants, which may result in a maximum increase in the Company's share capital of SEK 61,666.67. The warrants shall entitle to subscription of new shares in the Company.

The following terms shall apply to the issuance:

The warrants shall be subscribed for by senior executives, employees and key persons in the Company and company group and the Subsidiary, with the right and obligation to, at one or several occasions, transfer the warrants to senior executives, employees and key persons, who are or will become employed by the Company or within the company group, at a price that is not less than the fair market value of the warrant according to the Black & Scholes valuation model and otherwise on the same terms as in the issuance.

The warrants shall be subscribed for as of 1 July 2021 up to and including 2 July 2021 on a separate subscription list, with a right for the board to extend the subscription period.

The subsidiary has the right to subscribe for warrants without consideration and the senior executives, employees and key persons in the Company and company group have the right to subscribe for the warrants at a price equal to the warrant's market value, which shall be calculated according to the Black & Scholes valuation model or other generally accepted valuation model made by an independent appraiser or audit firm.

Senior executives, employees and key persons within the Company and company group will within Incentive program 2021/2024, be offered to subscribe for warrants divided into three different categories as set out below:

The management of the company group comprising of up to two positions, where the managing director may acquire a maximum of 40,000 warrants and the CFO a maximum of 30,000 warrants, in total 70,000 warrants;

Employees of the company group comprising up to five persons are offered to subscribe for a maximum of 30,000 warrants each and in total 150,000 warrants; and

A maximum of 28 other key persons within the company group are offered to subscribe for a maximum of 10,000 warrants each and in total 280,000 warrants.

The Subsidiary has the right to subscribe for the warrants which are not subscribed for by the categories set out above that later may be offered to current and future senior executives, employees and other key persons within the company group in accordance with the proposed allotment principles, in accordance with item 14b. Existing participants are offered to acquire only as many warrants as stated in the above categories.

Payment for subscribed warrants issued for payment shall be made in cash no later than on 1 August 2021, with a right for the board to extend the payment date.

Each warrant entitles to subscription of one (1) new share in the Company during the period from 1 August 2024 up to an including 30 September 2024 or the earlier date set forth in the terms for the warrants.

The subscription price shall be determined to an amount equal to 200 percent of the volume weighted average price at Nasdaq First Growth Market Premier during the period from 15 June 2021 up to and including 29 June 2021. The calculated subscription price shall be rounded to the nearest SEK 0.01, where SEK 0.005 shall be rounded upwards to SEK 0.01. The subscription price may not amount to less than the quota value of the company's shares. Upon subscription of shares, the part of the subscription price that exceeds the quotient value of the previous shares shall be allocated to the non-restricted share premium fund.

A new share subscribed for by exercise of a warrant has a right to dividends as of the first record day for dividends following registration of the new share issue with the Companies Registration Office and after the share has been registered in the share register maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB.

The purpose of the issuance and the deviation from the shareholders preferential rights is to implement the Incentive program 2021/2024.

In connection with the subscription of the warrants by the participants, the Company shall through an agreement reserve the right to repurchase the warrants, if the participant's employment or assignment in the company group ceases or if the participant, in turn, wishes to transfer the warrants.

The complete terms and conditions for the warrants are available at the Company and will be published on the Company’s website no later than three weeks before the annual general meeting, including conditions regarding re-calculation, in certain cases, of the subscription price and the number of shares a warrant entitles to.

The board of directors or a person nominated by it, shall be authorized to make such minor adjustments as may be required in connection with registration of the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and, if applicable, Euroclear Sweden AB.

Item 14b: Resolution regarding approval of transfer of warrants

The board of directors of the Company proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to approve that the Subsidiary may transfer the number of warrants in the Company of series 2021/2024, that are not subscribed for by the categories as set out in item 14a, to future senior executives, employees and other key persons within the Company and company group, or in any other matter dispose of the warrants to fulfill the obligations under Incentive program 2021/2024.

The Subsidiary shall be entitled to retain warrants that later may be offered to current and future senior executives, employees and other key persons within the company group in accordance with the proposed acquisition and allotment principles. Existing participants shall acquire warrants no later than 30 July 2021 and future senior executives, employees and other key personnel within the company group shall acquire warrants no later than 31 December 2021.

Future senior executives, employees and key persons within the Company and company group will within Incentive program 2021/2024, be offered to acquire warrants in accordance with the principles for allotment set out in item 14a.

The board of directors of the Company will not participate in Incentive program 2021/2024.

Notification to acquire warrants shall be made during the period from 2 July 2021 up to and including 31 December 2021. The warrants shall be transferred to the participants no later than 15 January 2022, provided that the transfers in accordance with item 14a do not exceed the maximum number of warrants issued.

Transfer of the warrants shall be made at a price equal to the warrant's market value at the time of transfer, which shall be calculated according to the Black & Scholes valuation model or other generally accepted valuation model. Valuation of the options shall be performed by an independent appraiser or audit firm. In connection with the transfer of the warrants to the participants, the Company or the Subsidiary shall through an agreement reserve the right to repurchase the warrants, if the participant's employment or assignment in the company group ceases or if the participant.

The warrants shall be transferred to senior executives, employees and other key persons no later than 15 January 2022, where any not transferred warrants shall be cancelled.

A general meeting in the Subsidiary shall also approve the subsequent transfers of warrants as set out above.

Preparations of the board of directors proposal for Incentive program 2021/2024, costs for the program, other outstanding share based incentive programs, dilution etc.

Incentive program 2021/2024 has been prepared by members of the company group management and external advisors and in accordance with guidelines from the remuneration committee and the board of directors, and in consultation with major shareholders.

Valuation

Subscription (except by the Subsidiary) and transfer of the warrants shall be made at a price equal to the warrant's fair market value, which means no social fees should arise for the company group in connection with the subscription and transfer of warrants. The warrants fair market value, according to a preliminary valuation based on the market value of the underlying share of SEK 62, SEK 2.10 per warrant, assuming an exercise price of SEK 124 per share. The Black & Scholes valuation model has been used for the valuation, assuming a risk free interest rate of -0.24 percent and a volatility of 30 percent, taking into account that no dividends and other distributions to shareholders are expected during the period of the program.

Costs and effects on key figures

As the warrants are subscribed for and transferred at fair market value, it is the Company´s assessment that there will be no social fees for the Company as a result of the subscriptions and transfers. The costs will therefore consist only of minimal costs for the implementation and administration of Incentive program 2021/2024.

Dilution

The total number of registered shares and votes at the time of this proposal amount to 45,299,427. The maximum dilution of Incentive program 2021/2024 is estimated to be a maximum of approximately 0.81 percent of the total number of shares and votes in the Company (calculated on the number of existing shares the Company), assuming full subscription and exercise of all warrants offered. The maximum dilution of Incentive program 2021/2024 plus the other outstanding incentive programs in the Company is estimated to be a maximum of approximately 1.04 percent, assuming full subscription and exercise of all warrants offered and outstanding.

Other outstanding share based incentive programs

The Company has previously established three incentive programs, series 2017, 2021:1 and 2021:2 For more information, see the Company's website and the annual report for 2020.

Majority requirements

A resolution in accordance with item 13 is valid where supported by shareholders representing at least two thirds of the votes cast and the shares represented at the general meeting.

A resolution in accordance with item 14 requires support by shareholders holding not less than nine-tenths of both the shares voted and of the shares represented at the general meeting, due to the fact that the issue and transfer of warrants is made to persons who belong to one or more of the categories according to Ch. 16 of the Swedish Companies Act.

Number of shares and votes

The total number of shares and votes in the Company as of the date of the notice amounts to 45,299,427. The Company does not own any shares.

Other

Copies of accounts, auditor statement and proxy form are available at least three weeks in advance of the annual general meeting.

About Nilar

Nilar is a Swedish-based developer and manufacturer of stationary energy storage systems, so-called Electrical Energy Storage (ESS) systems. Energy storage systems can be used to bridge imbalances between energy production and demand in order to, for example, improve the utilization of intermittent electricity production from renewable energy sources, such as solar energy and wind power, as well as to strengthen the increasingly strained power grids. Nilar's battery technology is based on nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) electrochemistry with a water-based electrolyte, which results in a strong environmental and safety profile together with a competitive price over a life cycle. The Company is headquartered in Täby and the energy-efficient production facility is, since 2012, located in Gävle, where the Company's research and development also takes place.

The Nilar share is listed at Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market, ticker NILAR. FNCA Sweden is Certified Adviser +46 8 528 00 399. For more information go to www.nilar.com.
