Guidelines of remuneration Item 13 on the agenda The meeting also adopted the board’s proposal of guidelines of remuneration and other terms of employment for executive managers for the year 2010. Long-term incentive programs Item 14 on the agenda The board’s proposal for share programs 2010 with the same conditions as previous programs was approved. Two forms of share-related saving programs are introduced; a general share savings program targeted at the majority of the employees, and a performance-related share program aimed at managers and key personnel. In the general share savings program, which is addressed to everyone except those included in the performance-related share program, employees may acquire shares in Saab through a monthly deduction from their net salary up to a maximum of 5 percent of the fixed gross salary. After three years, the employee will be allocated the corresponding number of matching shares. This program comprises up to 840,000 B series shares. The performance-related share program is aimed at up to 286 key personnel, including the President. The employee can make a monthly deduction from net salary up to 7.5 percent of the fixed gross salary for the purchase of shares. Upon fully achieving the established financial targets after three years, a maximum of between 2 and 5 matching shares will be allocated for each share purchased. If the financial targets are not achieved, there will be no matching. The performance-related share program is therefore tied to a risk and linked to performance. This program comprises up to 500,000 B series shares. Acquisition and transfer of the company’s own shares Item 15 on the agenda The AGM also authorized the Board to decide on acquisition and transfer of own shares. The purpose is to allow the Board increased scope for action in working with the company’s capital structure or the financing of company’s acquisitions and to give the company the possibility to transfer shares to the employees and secure the associated costs under the long-term Share Matching Plan and the Performance Share Plan.
