The chairman of the board of directors shall as soon as possible when the information regarding the three shareholders as per the end of September is known, contact the three largest shareholders to find out whether they wish to appoint a representative to the Nomination Committee. In case one of the three largest shareholders refrain from appointing a representative, or such representative resign prior to completion of the assignment and without the shareholder who has appointed the representative appointing a new member, the chairman of the board of directors shall encourage the next owner in size (i.e. in the first place the fourth largest shareholder) to appoint a representative. The procedure shall go on until the Nomination Committee is composed of four members including the chairman of the board of directors.

- election of auditor and fees to the auditor; and
- principles for appointment of the Nomination Committee.
Item 13: Determination of Remuneration Policy for senior executives
The board of directors proposes to the annual shareholders’ meeting that the following guidelines for remuneration to senior executives are adopted.
The company shall offer remuneration levels and employment terms at market terms, aimed at facilitating the recruitment and retention of senior executives with high competence and capacity, in order to achieve established targets. It is noted that the company is highly international with employees in several countries. When determining the remuneration level and other employment terms, the starting point should be that the terms should be competitive considering the situation in the country in which the employee is employed. The guidelines shall apply to employment agreements entered into after the adoption of these guidelines by the shareholders’ meeting or amendments to existing agreements made after the adoption of the guidelines.
The remuneration to the CEO and other senior executives can be comprised of fixed salary, variable remuneration, pension benefits, share-based incentive programs resolved by the shareholders’ meeting and other benefits. Senior executives refer to the CEO and the other persons forming part of the company’s management team.
Remuneration and other employment terms for the CEO and other senior executives are prepared by the Remuneration Committee and resolved by the board of directors.
The fixed salary shall take into consideration the individual’s competence, area of responsibility and performance. A review should generally be made annually.
The variable remuneration is to be based on the outcome of predetermined well defined objectives. The variable consideration is to be limited and may not exceed 75 per cent of the fixed annual salary for the CEO and 40 per cent of the fixed annual salary for other senior executives, whereby the individual highest level should be based on factors such as the position held by the specific individual.
The company’s commitments in reference to variable remuneration for the CEO and other senior executives who can be entitled to variable remuneration targets are for 2019 calculated to amount to, if all targets are met in full and based on the current exchange rates, approximately SEK 5 million (excluding social charges) at the highest. The calculation is based on the persons currently being senior executives and who can be entitled to variable remuneration.
In addition to what follows from law or collective bargain agreements or other agreements, the CEO and other senior executives may be entitled to arrange individual pension schemes. Refrained salaries and variable remuneration can be used for increased pension contributions, provided that the total cost for the company is unchanged over time.
Share-based incentive programs shall, where applicable, be resolved by the shareholders’ meeting.
The senior executives may be awarded other customary benefits, such as a company car, occupational health services, etc.
In case of termination of the CEO’s employment by the company, the notice period should not exceed 6 months. In case the company terminates the CEO without cause the CEO shall, in addition to salary during the notice period, be entitled to severance payment corresponding to 12 months’ base salary. The notice period for other senior executives shall, in case of termination by the company, not exceed 12 months. In case of termination by the company, in addition to salary during the notice period, severance payment corresponding to an amount equal to up to 12 months base salary may be paid.
At the time of the annual shareholders’ meeting on 14 May 2019, the company has no outstanding remuneration commitments towards senior executives except for running commitments.
To the extent that a member of the board of directors performs consultancy work on behalf of the company, in addition to the assignment as member of the board of directors, consultancy fees and other remuneration for such consultancy work should be payable. Such remuneration shall be paid on market terms and the remuneration as well as other terms shall be resolved upon by the board of directors.
The board of directors shall be entitled to deviate from the guidelines in individual cases if there are special reasons for doing so.
Item 14: Resolution on implementation of a long-term incentive program for employees by way of (A) implementation of a performance-based share saving program; (B) authorization on directed issues of series C shares; (C) authorization on repurchase of series C shares; and (D) resolution on transfer of own ordinary shares
The board of directors proposes that the annual shareholder’s meeting resolves to implement a long-term incentive program in the form of a performance-based share saving program (the “LTI 2019”) for employees in accordance with A below. The resolution shall be conditional upon that the annual shareholders’ meeting also resolves on hedging measures in accordance with B – D below.
A. Implementation of a performance-based share saving program
Background
At the annual shareholders’ meeting 2018, it was resolved to implement a corresponding incentive program for persons who were employed by the end of 2018 at the latest (LTI 2018) as well as a warrants program (warrants program 2018/2021) directed to senior executives. During 2018, the company has undergone a revision of the company’s strategy and made significant changes in order to accelerate the market penetration. In connection with this, the organization has been restructured and a number of key individuals have been added, or is expected to be added, during 2019.
Under LTI 2018 and the warrants program 2018/2021, which were approved by annual shareholders’ meeting 2018, a maximum of 500,000 and 1,175,000 shares, respectively, could be issued, i.e. a total maximum of 1,675,000 shares. However, the programs were not fully subscribed as a result of restructurings and a declining share price development during the implementation of the warrants program. As a result hereof, the programs resolved upon at the annual shareholders’ meeting 2018 will, altogether, result in a maximum of 746,096 shares being issued, i.e. 928 904 shares fewer than what was approved at the annual shareholders’ meeting 2018. The now proposed LTI 2019 will, at full outcome, result in a maximum of 795,000 shares being issued, and will thus not result in any further dilution than what was approved by the annual shareholders’ meeting 2018. In light of this, the board of directors considers that it is justified to propose to the annual shareholders’ meeting to resolve upon LTI 2019, wherein the “difference” between what was approved at the annual shareholders’ meeting 2018 and what actually came to be allocated is “reused” in the form of a new program.
The overall purpose of LTI 2019 is to align the interests of the employees with those of the shareholders and thus ensure a maximum long-term value adding commitment. LTI 2019 is also considered to create a long-term focus on increase in earnings and growth among the participants. LTI 2019 is further considered to facilitate for the company to recruit and retain employees.
Terms and conditions for LTI 2019
LTI 2019 shall comprise (i) the CEO; (ii) up to four other senior executives and up to six key employees who are deemed to be essential for the company to be able to develop in accordance with the company’s revised strategy; and (iii) up to 19 other employees. For the category “other employees”, LTI 2019 shall as a starting point preferably comprise newly recruited employees. However, in exceptional cases, the board of directors may decide to offer LTI 2019 also to employees in the category “other employees” who are already participating in existing incentive programs.
In total, LTI 2019 is considered to comprise up to 30 employees. In order to be entitled to participate in LTI 2019, it is required that the participant has been employed by the company or another company within the Group at the latest on the date of expiration of the Investment Period in accordance with the below.
LTI 2019 means that the participants will invest in ordinary shares in the company (”Saving Shares”). In order to be entitled to participate in LTI 2019, each participant must at least acquire the number of Savings Shares which has been specified for each category below (which amount also corresponds to the maximum number of Saving Shares that each participant in each category may acquire within the framework of LTI 2019). The investment in Saving Shares shall be made through acquisition of ordinary shares on the stock market on 31 December 2019 at the latest (the “Investment Period“).
If the Saving Shares are retained as from the expiration of the Investment Period to and including 31 December 2022 (the “Saving Period”) and the participant has continued to be employed by the company throughout the Saving Period, the participant is entitled to allotment of additional ordinary shares in the company free of charge (the “Performance Shares”), provided that the performance targets (the “Performance Targets”) mentioned below are achieved or exceeded.
Participants shall acquire the following number of Saving Shares and shall have the opportunity to be allotted with up to the following number of Performance Shares per Saving Share:
Position | Number of Saving Shares | Maximum number of Performance Shares per Saving Share |
CEO | 80,000 | 4 |
Other senior executives (up to 4 persons) | 10,000 – 15,000 per participant | 3 |
Key employees (up to 6 persons) | 5,000 – 10,000 per participant | 3 |
Other employees (up to 19 persons) | 5,000 per participant | 2 |
For the categories “Other senior executives” and “Key employees”, the board of directors shall, within the above-mentioned intervals, resolve upon the number of Saving Shares that the participant shall acquire.
The total number of Performance Shares shall not exceed 795,000.
The Performance Targets that have to be achieved or exceeded relate to (i) the share price development of the company’s shares (the “Share Price Target”), (ii) the net sales for each respective financial year of 2019-2022 (the “Sales Target”), and (iii) the EBITDA for each respective financial year of 2019-2022 (the “EBITDA Target”), whereby each Performance Target is weighted by 1/3 and with regard to the Sales Target and EBITDA Target, each respective financial year is weighted by 1/4 for these two performance targets.
The Share Price Target relates to the development of the company’s share price over the period from the date of the annual shareholders’ meeting 2019 to and including 31 December 2022. The share price development will be measured based on the volume weighted average share price 30 trading days immediately following the annual shareholders’ meeting 2019 and 30 trading days immediately preceding 31 December 2022. An increase in the share price with less than 25 per cent does not entitle to any vesting of any of the Performance Shares pertaining to the Share Price Target and an increase in the share price with 100 per cent or more does entitle a vesting of all of the Performance Shares pertaining to the Share Price Target. In the event of an increase in the share price of between 25 and 100 per cent, vesting of the Performance Shares pertaining to the Share Price Target will occur linearly.
The Sales Target and the EBITDA Target shall be determined by the board of directors annually and with regard to the financial year 2019, before LTI 2019 is offered to the participants. For each respective target, a minimum level and a target level (maximum) shall be determined for each respective financial year. If the minimum level is not achieved, no Performance Shares are vested in relation to the actual Performance Target for the financial year and if the target level is achieved, full vesting shall take place of the Performance Shares pertaining to the actual Performance Target for the financial year. If the minimum level is exceeded but the target level is not achieved, vesting of the Performance Shares pertaining to the actual Performance Target for the financial year will occur linearly. The board of directors intends to present the determined targets regarding the Sales Target and the EBITDA Target as well as the achievement of these in connection with the expiration of LTI 2019 at the latest.
The final number of Performance Shares vested by each participant shall be rounded downwards to the nearest whole number.
Before the number of Performance Shares to be allocated is finally determined, the board of directors shall evaluate if allocation pursuant to the principles set out above is reasonable, with regard to the company’s results and financial standing, conditions on the stock market and other circumstances in general. If the board of directors finds that it is not reasonable, then the board of directors may decrease the number of Performance Shares to be allocated to the lower number of shares that the board of directors finds reasonable.
The number of Performance Shares that may be allotted by virtue of Saving Shares shall be subject to recalculation in consequence of a bonus issue, split, rights issue, and/or other similar company actions.
Allotment of Performance Shares shall take place within 30 days from the publication of the year-end report for the financial year 2022.
Participation in LTI 2019 presupposes that the participation is legally possible and that the participation in the company’s sole opinion can be made with reasonable administrative costs for the company.
The board of directors shall be responsible for the details and management of LTI 2019 within the framework of the main conditions as set out above, and the board of directors shall be authorized to make minor adjustments to these conditions as required by law or for administrative reasons. The board of directors shall also be authorized to adjust or deviate from the terms and conditions as required by local laws and regulations as well as existing market practices. Furthermore, in the event of a public take-over offer, a sale of the company’s business, liquidation, merger or any other such transaction affecting the company, the board of directors shall, at its sole discretion, be entitled to resolve that the Performance Shares (partially or in full) shall vest and be allotted on completion of such transaction. The board of directors will make this resolution based on the level of achievement of the Performance Targets, the remainder of the Saving Period and any other factors deemed relevant by the board of directors.
B. Authorization on directed issues of series C shares
The board of directors proposes that the annual shareholders’ meeting resolves to authorize the board of directors, for the period up until the next annual shareholders’ meeting, on one or several occasions, to issue a maximum of 795,000 series C shares. The new shares may, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, only be subscribed for by a bank or a securities company at a subscription price which corresponds to the quota value of the shares. The purpose of the authorization and the reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights in connection with an issue of shares is to secure delivery of Performance Shares under LTI 2019, which shall be effected through the company repurchasing the series C shares issued pursuant to the authorization in section C below and thereafter, when the series C shares have been converted to ordinary shares, by transferring ordinary shares to the participants in LTI 2019 in accordance with section D below.
C. Authorization on repurchase of series C shares
The board of directors proposes that the annual shareholders’ meeting resolves to authorize the board of directors, for the period up until the next annual shareholders’ meeting, on one or several occasions, to repurchase its own series C shares. Repurchase may only be effected through a public offer directed to all holders of series C shares and shall comprise all outstanding series C shares. Repurchase may also be made of so-called interim shares, by Euroclear Sweden AB designated as a Paid Subscribed Share (Sw. Betald Tecknad Aktie (BTA)), regarding a series C share. Repurchase shall be made at a purchase price per share which corresponds to the quota value of the share. The purpose of the proposed repurchase authorization is to secure delivery of Performance Shares under LTI 2019.
D. Resolution on transfer of own ordinary shares
In order to fulfil the company’s obligations towards participants in LTI 2019, the board of directors proposes that the annual shareholders’ meeting resolves that the company shall be entitled to transfer the company’s own ordinary shares as follows:
- The company shall have the right to transfer the number of ordinary shares that the company has a maximum obligation to allocate as Performance Shares to participants in LTI 2019, at most 795,000 shares.
- The number of shares that may be transferred pursuant to LTI 2019 shall be subject to recalculation in consequence of a bonus issue, split, rights issue, and/or other similar corporate action which affects the number of shares in the company.
- The right to acquire ordinary shares shall, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, vest in participants in LTI 2019 who are entitled to be allotted Performance Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of the program.
- Transfer of shares to participants in LTI 2019 shall be made free of charge and be executed at the relevant time specified in the terms and conditions for LTI 2019.
The reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights in connection with the transfers of own ordinary shares is to enable the company’s delivery of Performance Shares to participants in LTI 2019.
Costs, impact on key ratios, existing incentive programs and dilution
The board of directors has made a preliminary cost calculation for LTI 2019. The costs for LTI 2019, which will reported under the profit and loss statement, are calculated in accordance with the accounting standard IFRS 2 and are accrued over the vesting period which runs until December 2022. The calculation has been made based on the quoted closing price for shares in the company as per 10 April 2019, i.e. SEK 20.80 per share, and with the following assumptions: (i) an annual dividend yield of 0 per cent; (ii) an estimated annual employee turnover of 0 per cent; (iii) an achievement of the Performance Targets with 100 per cent; and (iv) that a total maximum of 795,000 Performance Shares may be allocated.
In addition to the above, the costs for LTI 2019 have been based on LTI 2019 comprising a maximum of 30 participants. In total, the costs for LTI 2019 are, according to IFRS 2, estimated to amount to approximately SEK 12.9 million, excluding social security contributions. The costs for social security contributions are estimated to amount to approximately SEK 7.3 million, based on the above assumptions, and under the assumption of a share price increase of 100 per cent during the duration of LTI 2019 and an average tax rate of 22 percent for social security contributions.
The anticipated annual costs of SEK 5.8 million, including social security contributions, correspond to approximately 4.4 per cent of the company’s total employee costs for the financial year 2018. Based on the calculation of costs as described above, the key figure earnings per share for the full year 2018 had been changed from SEK −3.46 to SEK −3.57.
As per the date of the notice, the number of shares in the company amounts to 52,300,917 shares, of which 51,795,917 are ordinary shares and 505,000 are series C shares which were issued in connection with the share saving programs resolved at the annual shareholders’ meeting 2018 and which will be converted into ordinary shares prior to delivery to the participants. In addition thereto, warrants have been issued in connection with a previous financing agreement which could result in a maximum of 599,114 additional ordinary shares being issued.
The maximum number of Performance Shares amounts to 795,000, which corresponds to a dilution of approximately 1.51 per cent of the company’s ordinary shares after full dilution, calculated on the number of ordinary shares that will be added upon full issuance of Performance Shares in connection with LTI 2019. The dilution calculation as described above does not consider the ordinary shares that may be issued in connection with an exercise of the warrants which have been issued in connection with the previous financing agreement. In case these warrants are to be considered as well, the maximum total dilution from LTI 2019 amounts to approximately 1.49 per cent.
Since previously, there are incentive programs in the form of three employee option programs, two warrant programs and two performance-based share saving programs outstanding in the company. In case all outstanding incentive programs as well as the proposed LTI 2019 are exercised in full, a total of 3,147,134 new ordinary shares will be issued, which corresponds to a dilution of approximately 5.73 per cent of the company’s ordinary shares after full dilution, calculated on the number of ordinary shares that will be added upon full exercise of all outstanding incentive programs and the proposed LTI 2019. The dilution calculation as described above does not consider the ordinary shares that may be issued in connection with an exercise of the warrants which have been issued in connection with the previous financing agreement. In case these warrants are to be considered as well, the maximum total dilution of all outstanding incentive programs and the proposed LTI 2019 amounts to approximately 5.67 per cent.
The above calculations regarding dilution and impact on key ratios are subject to re-calculation of the warrants in accordance with the customary recalculation terms included in the complete applicable warrant terms.
Preparation of the proposal
The proposal for LTI 2019 has been prepared by the Remuneration Committee together with external consultants. The final proposal has been resolved upon by the board of directors.
Particular majority requirements
For a valid resolution on the proposal pursuant to item 14, the proposal has to be supported by shareholders representing at least nine-tenths of the votes cast as well as of all shares represented at the annual shareholders’ meeting.

Accounting documents and complete proposals
