The board’s proposal on authorising the board to decide on new share issues (item 16)
The board has proposed that the AGM authorise the board, on one or more occasions until the next AGM, to decide on new share issues of up to a total of 3,000,000 series B shares. In this respect the board shall be entitled to decide to deviate from the preferential rights of shareholders as well as to decide on provisions pursuant to chapter 13, section 5, paragraph 1, item 6 of the Swedish Companies Act (in kind, offset or other terms). The issue price for the new shares shall be determined on the basis of the market price for the shares at the time of the issue. The purpose of the authorisation is to facilitate the financing of acquisitions.
If the authorisation is used to the full, it will result in a dilution of about 4.6% of the capital and 4.2% of the voting rights.

Resolution as to principles for remuneration of executive management (item 18)
The board of director's proposal on guidelines for remuneration of executive management entails the following major items. Executive management consists of the CEO of Teleca AB and the executives in the corporate management team. The guidelines will apply to employment contracts signed after the board of director's proposal on guidelines for remuneration of executive management has been approved by the decision of the AGM. This also applies to such cases where changes are made to employment contracts after the decision of the AGM.

Teleca AB shall offer competitive remuneration and other employment terms in order to recruit and retain an executive management with high competence. The remuneration to executive management shall consist of fixed salary, possible variable salary, pension and other benefits.

The fixed salary, take into account the individuals areas of responsibility and experience. Reviews should be conducted every year.

The variable salary should be dependent on the individual’s completion of quantitative and qualitative targets. The variable salary shall not exceed 45 per cent of the fixed salary.

Pensions shall be fee-based. The retirement age shall be 65. The pensions shall correspond to what can be considered feasible on the market in which the relevant member of the executive management is active. The CEO can cancel his employment contract with a six months term of notice. Upon cancellation of the CEOs employment contract by the Company, a 12 months term of notice applies. For other members of the executive management a six months mutual term of notice applies.

The executive management may be awarded other customary benefits, such as company car and company healthcare etc.

The board may derogate from the above guidelines where there in an individual case are special reasons for doing so.

Appointment of the nomination committee (item 19)
Shareholder Danir AB has proposed that the AGM assign the chairman of the board, based on share ownership at the end of September 2007, to convene a nomination committee made up of the chairman of the board and a representative from each of the four largest shareholders in the company in terms of voting power. The names of the members of the nomination committee shall be published in the interim report for the third quarter. The nomination committee shall propose both the new board of directors to be elected at the AGM in 2008 and the directors’ fees.

The nomination committee shall remain until the next nomination committee has been appointed. Should a member of the nomination committee resign or cease to represent one of the largest shareholders in the company, then the nomination committee shall be entitled to replace such a member with another representative of the shareholder.
