Item 10 Nomination Committee
The Board of Directors proposes the general meeting to establish a Nomination Committee and to adopt the following rules for the Nomination Committee. The rules shall apply until the general meeting decides otherwise.
Appointment of the members of the Nomination Committee.
The Nomination Committee shall consist of the chairman of the Board of Directors and three members which are appointed by the company’s largest shareholders as follows. The chairman of the Board of Directors shall each year contact the company’s three largest shareholders as of 31 August and offer each of them to appoint a member of the Nomination Committee. By “three largest shareholders” is also referred to known groups of shareholders. If any of these shareholders refrains from appointing a member, the offer shall instead be given to the next largest shareholder. However, it is not necessary to contact more than five additional shareholders, unless the chairman of the Board of Directors considers that there are special reasons for this. If fewer than three members are appointed by the shareholders in this way, the Nomination Committee shall consist of the chairman of the Board of Directors and the members that have been appointed.
The member appointed by the largest shareholder shall be the chairman of the Nomination Committee, unless the Nomination Committee decides otherwise.
The names of the Nomination Committee’s members and of the shareholders that they have been appointed by shall be announced as soon as the Nomination Committee has been appointed, but no later than six months before the next annual general meeting.
In the event that a shareholder who has appointed a member has considerably reduced its shareholding in the company before the Nomination Committee has completed its work, such member may resign and, if the Nomination Committee deems appropriate, the shareholder who is the next largest shareholder shall be offered to appoint a member. A shareholder who has appointed a representative as a member of the Nomination Committee may dismiss such member and appoint a new representative as a member of the Nomination Committee. Changes to the Nomination Committee shall be announced as soon as they have taken place.
The Nomination Committee’s assignment
The Nomination Committee shall make the following proposals to the annual general meeting:
- proposal for the chairman at the meeting
- proposal for the Board of Directors
- proposal for the chairman of the Board of Directors
- proposal for the compensation to be paid to the Board of Directors and for work in the committees (if applicable)
- proposal for the auditors (if applicable)
- proposal for the compensation to be paid to the auditors
The Nomination Committee shall also when required make proposals for changes to this instruction.
The assignment as a member of the Nomination Committee applies until a new Nomination Committee has been appointed. The members of the Nomination Committee do not receive any compensation, but the company will cover reasonable costs attributable to the Nomination Committee’s work.
The chairman of the Board of Directors shall convene the first meeting of the Nomination Committee.
Item 11 Authorization for the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors proposes the general meeting to resolve upon an authorization for the Board on the following terms and conditions:
- The Board of Directors is authorized, for the period until the next annual general meeting, on one or more occasions, and with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preemptive rights, to adopt a resolution to increase the share capital of the company through a new issue of shares, convertibles and/or warrants, up to a total gross amount in the issues of SEK 750 million.
