Closing the Meeting Nomination Committee Bruce Grant (representing Garden Growth Capital and Chairman of NOTE AB), Kjell-Åke Andersson (representing his own shareholdings), Stefan Charette (representing Investment AB Öresund) and Ulf Strömsten (representing Catella Fondförvaltning), Chairman, participated in the Nomination Committee. Nomination Committee proposals (items 2, 10, 11, 12 and 13) 2. Bruce Grant is proposed as Chairman of the Meeting 10. The Board of Directors is proposed to consist of six ordinary members without deputies. 11. Proposed directors’ fees for the period until the end of the next Annual General Meeting are a total of SEK 760,000. The proposal for allocating the Directors’ fees is as follows: fees for the Chairman SEK 200,000 and fees for other members SEK 100,000 per member. Additionally, SEK 60,000 is proposed for allocation between members of Committees pursuant to the Chairman of the Board’s decision. Board members employed by the company will not receive Directors’ fees. Overall, this implies that the proposed fee levels per member are unchanged in comparison with the previous year, although with the amendment that the total fees reduce by SEK 150,000 because fewer members have been proposed, and no increased fees are payable to the Deputy Chairman, if the Board decides to appoint such position. Auditors’ fees are proposed according to open account. 12. Re-election of the following Board members is proposed: Bruce Grant and Göran Jansson. Election of the following is proposed: Kjell-Åke Andersson, Stefan Charette, Henry Klotz and Peter Laveson, with Stefan Charette as Chairman. 13. The Nomination Committee shall be formed by each of the four largest shareholders that wish to participate appointing a representative, with the Chairman of the Board as convener, at least six months prior to the Annual General Meeting of shareholders. Where one or more shareholders decline this right, the next-largest shareholder will be offered the corresponding opportunity. The names of the four representatives will be published as soon as they are appointed. The majority of the members of the Nomination Committee may not be Board members or the Chief Executive Officer, nor should any other member of the corporate management be a member of the Nomination Committee. Unless the members agree otherwise, the Chairman of the Nomination Committee will be that member representing the largest shareholder in terms of voting rights. However, a Board member may not be Chairman of the Nomination Committee. The Nomination Committee’s mandate runs until the appointment of a new Nomination Committee. A member will leave the Nomination Committee if the shareholder they represent is no longer one of the four largest shareholders. In circumstances where more than one member leaves the Nomination Committee for the aforementioned reason, the four largest shareholders at that time will then appoint four representatives to the Nomination Committee. However, unless there are special circumstances, no changes will occur to the Nomination Committee’s composition if only marginal changes to the number of votes have occurred, or if the change occurs earlier than two months prior to the Annual General Meeting. Shareholders that have appointed a representative as a member of the Nomination Committee possess the right to dismiss such member and appoint a new representative as a member of the Nomination Committee. Changes to the composition of the Nomination Committee will be published as soon as they occur. The Nomination Committee will prepare a proposal for a Chairman of the Meeting, Board of Directors, Chairman of the Board, Directors’ fees, principles for appointing the Nomination Committee, and where applicable, the auditors, and remuneration of auditors to be submitted to the Annual General Meeting (and where applicable, Extraordinary General Meeting) for resolution. On demand from the Nomination Committee, the company will provide personnel such as secretarial functions for the Nomination Committee to facilitate the work of the Nomination Committee. Where necessary, the company will also bear reasonable costs for external consultants that the Nomination Committee considers necessary for the Nomination Committee to be able to perform its duties. Board of Directors’ proposal (item 14) 14. The Board is proposing that the guidelines for remunerating senior executives as adopted by the AGM 2009 are adopted without amendment for 2010. Documentation for the Meeting The accounting records, Audit Report, the Board’s complete proposals and other documentation required according to the Swedish Companies Act will be available as of 13 April 2010 from the company at Vendevägen 85 A, Danderyd, Sweden.
