It is Ernst & Young Aktiebolag’s intention to appoint Jonas Svensson as auditor in charge.

Item 11

The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves on guidelines for remuneration to the Company’s senior executives in accordance with the following.

The guidelines encompass remuneration for the Company’s senior executives. Senior executives refer to the CEO, the deputy CEO, the CFO and any other members of the group management. The guidelines shall apply to remuneration agreed, and amendments to remuneration already agreed, after adoption of the guidelines at the AGM 2024. These guidelines do not apply to any incentive programs resolved or approved by a general meeting.

The guidelines promotion of the Company’s strategy and long-term, i.e. sustainable, interests

For information about the Company’s strategy, see the Company’s website, https://www.sagax.se/about/business-concept-and-strategy.

A prerequisite for the successful implementation of the Company’s strategy and safeguarding of its long-term, i.e. sustainable, interests, is that the Company is able to recruit and retain qualified personnel. To this end, it is necessary that the Company offers remuneration and employment terms on market terms.

Variable remuneration covered by these guidelines shall aim to promote the Company’s strategy and long-term, i.e. sustainable, interests.

Types of remuneration etc.

The remuneration to senior executives may consist of a fixed and a variable remuneration component as well as pension benefits and other benefits. The types of remuneration shall be simple, long-term and measurable.

The fixed remuneration shall be on market terms and based on competence, responsibility and performance.

Variable remuneration may be paid to senior executives where the Board of Directors deems it appropriate. The variable remuneration shall reward specific, predetermined, results or performance goals. The variable remuneration shall be determined through simple and transparent criteria and be maximized. Variable remuneration goals shall be related to financial goals, sustainability goals, operational goals, or individual goals within each person’s area of responsibility. The measurement period for the variable remuneration shall, as a general rule, be based on performance over a period of twelve months. To which extent the criteria for awarding variable cash remuneration has been satisfied shall be evaluated/determined when the measurement period has ended. The Remuneration Committee is responsible for the evaluation with regard to variable remuneration to the CEO. With regard to variable remuneration to other executives, the CEO is responsible for the evaluation.

Variable remuneration shall not be pensionable and shall as a main rule not exceed 50 percent of the respective senior executive’s annual fixed remuneration. Additional variable remuneration may however be paid provided that such special arrangements are limited in time and only made on an individual basis, either for the purpose of recruiting or retaining senior executives, or as remuneration for extraordinary efforts that go beyond the executive’s ordinary duties. Such extraordinary variable remuneration may not exceed an amount corresponding to 100 percent of the executive’s annual fixed remuneration. Resolutions on such extraordinary variable remuneration shall be made by the Board of Directors.

The extent to which the goals for variable remuneration have been met shall be determined at the end of the relevant measurement period. The Board of Directors is responsible for such assessment in respect of variable remuneration to the CEO. With respect to variable remuneration to other senior executives, the CEO is responsible for the assessment.

Non-monetary benefits shall facilitate the senior executive’s work performance and correspond to what can be considered reasonable in relation to practice in the market where the respective senior executive is active. Premiums and other costs (including costs for social security contributions) for the employer in connection with such benefits may (when the benefit is resolved) amount to a maximum of 10 percent of the executives’ annual fixed remuneration.

Senior executives’ pension terms shall be based on defined contribution pension solutions and follow or correspond to, and thus be limited to, the general pension plan under the ITP plan.

Share and share price related incentive programs shall, where applicable, be resolved by the general meeting and are therefore not covered by these guidelines. For more information on outstanding share and share price related incentive programs, see the Company’s website www.sagax.se.

Regarding employment conditions that are subject to other rules than Swedish, as far as pension benefits and other benefits, appropriate adjustments may be made to comply with mandatory rules or local practice, whereby the overall purpose of these guidelines shall, as far as possible, be met.

Termination of employment

The notice period for the CEO may not exceed 12 months regardless of whether notice is given by the Company or by the CEO. For other senior executives, the notice period may not exceed six months regardless of whether notice is given by the Company or by the executive. No severance pay shall be paid.

Salary and employment conditions for employees

In the preparation of the Board of Directors’ proposal for these remuneration guidelines, salary and employment conditions for employees of the Company have been taken into account by including information on the employees’ total income, the components of the remuneration and increase and growth rate over time, in the Board of Directors’ basis of decision when evaluating whether the guidelines and the limitations set out herein are reasonable.

The decision-making process to determine, review and implement the guidelines

The Board of Directors has established a Remuneration Committee, consisting of two members of the Board of Directors. The Committee’s tasks include preparing the Board of Directors’ decision to propose guidelines for executive remuneration. The Board of Directors shall prepare a proposal for new guidelines at least every fourth year and submit it to the AGM. The guidelines shall be in force until new guidelines are adopted by the general meeting. The Remuneration Committee shall also monitor and evaluate programs for variable remuneration for the executive management, the application of the guidelines for executive remuneration as well as the current remuneration structures and compensation levels in the Company. The CEO and other members of the executive management do not participate in the Board of Directors’ processing of and resolutions regarding remuneration-related matters in so far as they are affected by such matters.

Derogation from the guidelines

The Board of Directors may temporarily resolve to derogate from the guidelines, in whole or in part, if in a specific case there is special cause for the derogation and a derogation is necessary to serve the Company’s long-term interests, including its sustainability, or to ensure the Company’s financial viability.

Description of significant changes to the guidelines and how the shareholders’ views have been considered

The Board of Directors has reviewed the guidelines, and the Board of Directors’ proposal for guidelines for renumeration to senior executives largely corresponds to the existing guidelines adopted in 2021 but with some revisions. The updated guidelines include, among other things, that the CEO’s notice period may not exceed 12 months and that the Board of Directors shall be able to resolve on additional variable cash remuneration in extraordinary circumstances.

It was noted that no comments were received from shareholders on previous guidelines for remuneration to senior executives.

Item 12

The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM approve the Board of Directors’ Remuneration Report for 2023 in accordance with Chapter 8, Section 53 a of the Swedish Companies Act.

Item 13

The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves on the introduction of an incentive program through the Company conducting an issue of warrants and transfer of warrants to persons who are or become employed by the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries, with the exception of the CEO in the Company (”Employees”), on the terms and conditions below (”Incentive Program 2024/2027”).

A.       Issue of warrants to the Subsidiary

The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves on an issue of a maximum 400,000 warrants of series 2024/2027. The right to subscribe shall, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, belong to the wholly owned subsidiary Satrap Kapitalförvaltning AB, Corp. Reg. No. 556748-3309 (the ”Subsidiary”). The warrants shall be issued without consideration. Each warrant shall entitle the holder to subscribe for one (1) new ordinary share of series B (“Ordinary Share”) in the Company. The warrants shall be subscribed for during the period from and including 10 May 2024 to and including 20 May 2024 on a separate subscription list. The Board of Directors is authorised to extend the subscription period.

The subscription price for a Ordinary Share upon exercise of a warrant shall consist of the Ordinary Share’s average closing price during the period from 24 May 2027 up to and including 28 May 2027 according to Nasdaq Stockholm’s official price list (the “Closing Price”) reduced by an amount corresponding to the highest of:

(i)      the share price of the Ordinary Share at the time of issue, which consists of the average closing price during the period from and including 10 May 2024 up to and including 16 May 2024 according to Nasdaq Stockholm's official price list (the "Starting Share Price"), multiplied by the difference between

1. the change in the average total return index value for the Ordinary Shares during (i) the period from and including 10 May 2024 up to and including 16 May 2024 (the "Start Index for the Ordinary Shares") and (ii) the period from and including 24 May 2027 up to and including 28 May 2027 (the "End Index for the Ordinary Shares"),
2. the change in the average total return index value calculated according to the Total Return Real Estate Index (TRREX), a total return index calculated by Millistream Market Data AB, during (i) the period from and including 10 May 2024 up to and including 16 May 2024 (the "TRREX Start Index") and (ii) the period from and including 24 May 2027 up to and including 28 May 2027 (the "TRREX End Index"), and

(ii)     zero.

TRREX is a total return index calculated by Millistream Market Data AB and comprises all property companies listed on Nasdaq Stockholm's main list taking into account the companies' share price development and dividends paid. Sagax shares are excluded from the benchmark index TRREX.

If the Company has insider information during any part of the period from and including 10 May 2024 up to and including 16 May 2024, the Board of Directors shall be entitled to postpone the subscription period and the measurement period for the average price of the Ordinary Share and the TRREX. The subscription price may not be lower than the current quota value of the Ordinary Share.

Holders of the warrants shall have the right to request that an alternative exercise model is applied in accordance with the complete terms and conditions when subscribing for shares using the warrants. When applying the alternative exercise model, the subscription price for each Ordinary Share shall correspond to the share's quota value and the warrants shall entitle to a recalculated, initially lower, number of Ordinary Shares. However, the warrants shall not entitle to more than one (1) Ordinary Share per warrant, subject to possible recalculation in accordance with the complete warrant terms and conditions. Assuming that the subscription price for the Ordinary Shares in the Company to which the warrants entitle the holder to subscribe for is set at SEK 250, the application of the alternative exercise model would have the following effects in the event of full subscription with the support of all 400,000 warrants and assuming full application of the alternative exercise model at the share prices for the Company's Ordinary Shares prior to the subscription period as stated below:

Illustrative calculation example based on an assumed subscription price of SEK 250. The dilution in the calculation example is based on the total number of outstanding ordinary shares of series A and B in the Company

The warrants can be exercised by application for subscription of new shares during the period from 31 May 2027 to and including 11 June 2027. Shares subscribed for by exercise of the warrants entitle to dividend for the first time on the record date for dividends that occurs immediately after the subscription has been executed. If the warrant holder is prohibited from subscribing for Ordinary Shares during this period due to applicable insider legislation, the Company shall be entitled to instead permit such warrant holder to subscribe for shares as soon as the warrant holder no longer is prohibited from doing so, but no later than 30 calendar days after such impediment has ceased.

The maximum number of additional Ordinary Shares are estimated to no more than 400,000 which corresponds to approximately 0.12 percent of the total number of ordinary shares of series A and B in the Company (excluding the Company’s own holding of ordinary shares of series B), provided full subscription, and full exercise of all warrants. In such case, the increase in the share capital will amount to a maximum of SEK 700,000.

The reason for deviating from the shareholders’ preferential rights is that the Board of Directors want to promote the Company’s long-term interests by offering Employees a well-balanced incentive program, which gives them the opportunity to take part in the Company’s long-term value development.

B.         Approval of transfer of warrants to Employees

The Board of Directors further proposes that the AGM resolves to approve that the Subsidiary may transfer a maximum 400,000 warrants in the Company of series 2024/2027 to Employees, or otherwise dispose of the warrants to secure the commitments under the Incentive Program 2024/2027.

Each Employee shall be offered to acquire warrants, in the Incentive Program 2024/2027, in an amount corresponding to a maximum of one twelfth (1/12) of the Employee’s annual salary before income tax. In the event that the Employee has been on leave, parental leave, long-term sick or similar during the twelve-month period preceding the day when the Employee is offered to acquire warrants under the Incentive Program 2024/2027, an adjustment of the number of warrants that the Employee is offered to acquire shall take place. Such adjustment shall imply that the number of warrants offered to the Employee is reduced in proportion to the number of months the Employee has not been in service. In the event that Employees do not subscribe for all warrants that they have been offered to subscribe, the other Employees participating in the Incentive Program 2024/2027 may be offered to acquire the warrants that have been offered but not subscribed. In such cases, allotment shall take place pro rata in relation to the number of warrants for the Employees have been allotted in the initial allotment.

The warrants shall be offered to Employees at a price corresponding to an estimated market value for the warrants with the application of an option valuation model based on Monte Carlo-simulation and accepted assumptions on, inter alia, volatility, direct return and correlation at the time of the transfer. The calculation is performed by People & Corporate Performance AB, based on a subscription price for the Ordinary Shares corresponding to the average closing price paid during the period from and including 10 May 2024 to and including 16 May 2024 according to Nasdaq Stockholm’s official price list. If the Company has inside information during this period, the Board of Directors shall have the right to postpone the measurement period for the share’s average volume-weighted price paid for the share.

With regard to the fact that the warrants are to be transferred to Employees at a calculated market price, the Incentive Program 2024/2027 is not considered to entail any costs in addition to certain minor costs for preparation and administration for the program. Provided that it is one of the first three times that an Employee participates in an incentive program in the Company and the Employee’s annual salary does not exceed SEK 500,000 alternatively EUR 50,000 for Employees receiving salary in Euro, the Employee shall receive a premium subsidy in the form of an extra salary. The number of Employees currently entitled to such premium subsidy amounts to 12, corresponding to 12.5 percent of the total number of employees. The cost of this premium subsidy is estimated to amount to a maximum of SEK 428,000. The warrants will also not have any accounting implications other than the premium subsidy mentioned. However, the dilution effect of the warrants may affect key ratios per share in accordance with the accounting standard IAS 33.

Assuming that the value of the Company's Ordinary Share at the time of the valuation of the warrants amounts to SEK 274.40, an initial subscription price of SEK 274.40, a volatility of 28.9 percent for the Ordinary Share and 21.2 percent for TRREX and a correlation of 88.6 percent, the value per warrant will be SEK 26.75, of which existing Employees will be offered to acquire a total of 320,000 warrants. The Company will then receive a total warrant premium of SEK 8,560,000 (without deduction for premium subsidy). Upon full exercise of the warrants and at an assumed subscription price of SEK 250, the Company will also receive an issue proceeds of approximately SEK 80,000,000. If, under these circumstances, additional warrants would be acquired by Employees that are added during the year, the Company may receive an additional warrant premium of a maximum of SEK 2,140,000. Upon full exercise of these warrants, the Company may also receive additional issue proceeds of approximately SEK 20,000,000.

Transfer to the Employees shall be conditional upon that Sagax and the Employee entering into an warrant agreement containing, inter alia, provisions on transfers, pledging, repurchase in certain cases and other customary provisions.

For participants in jurisdictions other than Sweden, it is implied that the further transfer of the warrants is legally possible and that further transfer, in the Board of Directors’ opinion, can be carried out with reasonable administrative and financial efforts at their established market value. The Board of Directors shall have the right to adjust the terms of the Incentive Program 2024/2027 to the extent required in order for allotment and exercise of warrants to participants in other jurisdictions, to the extent practically possible, to be carried out under the same conditions imposed by the Incentive Program 2024/2027.

The warrants shall be transferred to the Employees no later than before the AGM 2025, after which non-transferred warrants shall be canceled.

The reason for deviating from the shareholders’ preferential rights is that the Board of Directors want to promote the Company’s long-term interests by offering Employees a well-balanced incentive program, which gives them the opportunity to take part in the Company’s long-term value development.

Item 14

The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves to authorise the Board of Directors to, within the framework of the current Articles of Association, with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, on one or more occasions until the next AGM, resolve on an increase in the Company’s share capital through a new issue of ordinary share of series A, ordinary shares of series B, ordinary shares of series D, warrants and/or convertibles in the Company. The total number of shares covered by such issues may correspond to a total of no more than ten percent of the share capital in the Company, based on the share capital in the Company at the time when the Board of Director first exercises the authorisation. The issues shall be made at a market price, subject to a market discount if applicable, and payment may, in addition to cash payment, be made by contribution in kind or by way of set-off, or otherwise with conditions. The purpose of the authorisation and the reasons for any deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights is that issues may be executed to finance the acquisition of properties or real estate companies, or part of properties or real estate companies or alternatively to finance general business purposes.

Item 15

The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves to authorise the Board of Directors to, on one or more occasions until the next AGM, resolve on the acquisition of a total of so many ordinary shares of series A, ordinary shares of series B, ordinary shares of series D, warrants and/or convertibles that the Company’s holdings at any given time do not exceed one tenth of all shares in the Company. Acquisition of own shares shall take place on Nasdaq Stockholm and may only take place at a price within the price interval applicable at any given time, by which is imply the interval between the highest purchase price and lowest selling price, or through an acquisition offer addressed to all shareholders, whereby the acquisition shall take place at a price which at the time of the resolution corresponds to not less than applicable share price and a maximum of 150 percent of the applicable stock exchange price. Acquisition of own warrants and/or convertibles shall take place at a price that at the time of the decision corresponds to not more than market value.

Furthermore, it is proposed that the AGM resolves to authorise the Board of Directors to, on one or more occasions until the next AGM, resolve on transfer, with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, of all or parts of the Company’s holding of ordinary shares of series A, ordinary shares of series B, ordinary shares of series D, and/or warrants as payment in connection with the acquisition of properties or real estate companies, or part of properties or real estate companies at a price corresponding to the share price, or in the case of warrants, the market value at the time of the transfer. Transfer of all or parts of the Company’s holding of own ordinary shares of series A, ordinary shares of series B, ordinary shares of series D may also take place, on one or more occasions until the next AGM, to finance such acquisitions, alternatively to finance general business purposes, whereby the sale of shares shall take place on Nasdaq Stockholm at a price within the price range applicable at any given time.

The authorisation is intended primary to give the Company flexibility in financing the acquisition of properties or real estate companies, or part of properties or real estate companies, but also to give the Board of Directors increased freedom regarding work with the Company’s capital structure.

Special majority requirement

A resolution by the AGM in accordance with item 13 is only valid if supported by shareholders representing at least nine tenths of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the AGM. Resolutions by the AGM in accordance with item 14 and 15, are only valid if supported by shareholders representing at least two thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the AGM.

Disclosures at the AGM

The Board of Directors and the CEO shall, if requested by any shareholder and if the Board of Directors is of the opinion that it can be done without causing material harm to the Company, provide disclosures about conditions that may impact assessment of an item of business on the agenda, about conditions that may impact assessment of the Company’s or a subsidiary’s financial situation, and about the Company’s relationship with another group company.
