Remuneration to the Board members and the auditor
The meeting resolved on the following remuneration for Board assignments to Board members who are elected by the Annual General Meeting and not employed by the Company:
- SEK 1,500,000 (1,200,000) to the Chairman of the Board of Directors and SEK 550,000 (400,000) each of the other members of the Board of Directors
- SEK 200,000 (150,000) to the Chairman and SEK 100,000 (75,000) to each of the other members of the Audit Committee
- SEK 100,000 (100,000) to the Chairman and SEK 50,000 (50,000) to each of the other members of the Remuneration Committee
- SEK 200,000 (150,000) to the Chairman and SEK 100,000 (75,000) to each of the other members of the Risk- and compliance Committee.
The Nomination Committee's aim is for each board members' shareholding in the Company to correspond to such board member's annual net compensation (including remuneration for work on board committees). Accordingly, the Nomination Committee encourages board members whose current shareholding does not meet this threshold to invest 50 percent of their total net annual remuneration in shares in the Company until the target level has been reached. The Nomination Committee will take this objective into consideration when preparing proposals for the re-election of Board members at future Annual General Meetings.
The meeting resolved that the auditor's fees shall be paid against approved invoice.
Authorisation for the Board of Directors to resolve on acquisition and transfer of own shares
The meeting resolved to authorise the Board of Directors to decide on the acquisition and transfer of own shares on or outside Nasdaq Stockholm or in accordance with an offer of acquisition made to all shareholders. The authorisation may be exercised on one or more occasions until the next Annual General Meeting.
A maximum of so many shares may be acquired that the Company's holdings, including shares that have otherwise been acquired and held, will not exceed five per cent of all shares in the Company. Transfer in accordance with the authorisation may be made of all own shares held by the Company at the time of the Board's decision.
The purpose of the authorisation is to give the Board increased scope for action and the opportunity to continuously adapt the Company's capital structure, thereby contributing to increased shareholder value and to capture attractive business opportunities by fully or partially financing corporate acquisitions with own shares and to secure undertakings and social security contributions under outstanding incentive programs.
Authorisation for the Board of Directors to resolve on new share issues
The meeting resolved to authorise the Board, on one or more occasions, to resolve on new share issues. The number of shares issued pursuant to the authorisation may not exceed an increase of twenty per cent of the share capital based on the share capital of the Company at the time of the Annual General Meeting's resolution on this authorisation. Payment may, in addition to cash payment, be made by way of contribution or set-off, or otherwise with conditions. If the Board of Directors decides to issue new shares with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, the reason for this shall be to provide the Company with new owners of strategic importance to the Company or in order to implement an acquisition agreement, or alternatively to procure capital for such acquisitions.
Amendment of the Articles of Association and Share Split
The meeting resolved to increase the number of shares in the Company through a share split, whereby each existing share is divided into three shares (Share Split 3:1), in accordance with the following terms. The purpose of the share split is to achieve a number of shares that is appropriate for the Company.
The resolution consisted of two parts, which were adopted as a single resolution and were conditional upon both being approved by the Meeting. The resolutions under these items may be registered jointly or in whole or in part separately.
Amendment of the Articles of Association
In order to enable the share split as set out in item 2 below, the Meeting resolved to amend the limits for the number of shares in § 5 of the Articles of Association as set out below.
Previous wording | New wording | |
§ 5 Number of shares The number of shares in the Company shall be not less than 21,500,000 and not more than 86,000,000. | § 5 Number of shares The number of shares in the Company shall be not less than 64,650,000 and not more than 258,600,000. |

The Share Split entails an amendment of the quota value of the share from SEK 5.00 to SEK 1 2/3.
