This process continues until the Nomination Committee consists of three owner representatives.

The Chairman of the Nomination Committee shall then inform the other members of the request. If the change of ownership is not insignificant, a member appointed by shareholders or a group of owners who no longer belong to the three largest companies shall make their place available and the new shareholder or group of owners should be allowed to appoint a member. 

Requirements on the Nomination Committee in accordance with the Swedish Corporate Governance Code
The Nomination Committee shall meet the composition requirements set out in the Swedish Corporate Governance Code, meaning that the Nomination Committee shall have at least three members, one of whom shall be appointed Chairman. The majority of the members of the Nomination Committee shall be independent in relation to the Company and the management of the Company. Further, at least one member of the nomination committee is to be independent of the Company’s largest shareholder in terms of votes or any group of shareholders who act in concert in the governance of the Company. Members of the Board of directors may be members of the nomination committee but may not constitute a majority thereof. If more than one board member is included in the nomination committee, no more than one of them may be dependent in relation to the Company's major shareholders.

Item 11: Resolution to authorize the Board of Directors to issue shares, warrants and/or convertibles
The board of directors of the Company proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to authorize the board of directors during the period up until the next annual general meeting, on one or more occasions, to resolve to issue shares, convertibles and/or warrants, with or without preferential rights for the shareholders, corresponding to not more than 10 percent of the share capital of the Company after completed issuances based on the number of shares at the time of the annual general meeting, to be paid in cash, in kind and/or by way of set-off.

The purpose for the board to resolve on issuances with deviation from the shareholders preferential rights in accordance with the above is primarily for the purpose to broaden the shareholder base, raise new capital to increase flexibility of the Company or in connection with acquisitions. If issuances are carried out with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, such issue shall be made in accordance with customary market terms. If the board of directors finds it suitable in order to enable delivery of shares in connection with a share issuance as set out above it may be made at a subscription price corresponding to the share’s quota value.

The board of directors or anyone appointed by the board of directors is given the right to make the adjustments necessary in connection with the registration of the resolution at the Companies Registration Office.

A resolution in accordance with this exhibit requires support by shareholders holding not less than two-thirds of both the shares voted and of the shares represented at the general meeting.

Item 12: Resolution regarding an incentive program for senior executives and employees within the group

The board of directors of the Company proposes that the general meeting resolve to establish an incentive program through issuance of warrants to the Company with subsequent transfer to senior executives, employees and other key individuals in the Company and the group (the "Incentive Program 2023/2026") in accordance with the below.

Background and motives

Furthermore, the program is expected to increase the possibility of recruiting competent personnel.

Resolutions in accordance with items 12a and 12b below are taken as one resolution and are thus conditional of each other.

A presentation of other incentive programs, preparation of the proposal, costs for the programs and effects on key performance measures etc. are described below.

In connection with transfer of warrants to the participants, the Company shall through an agreement reserve the right to repurchase warrants if the participant's employment or assignment in the group terminates (so called good leaver or bad leaver) or if the participant wish to transfer the warrants.

Preparations of the board of directors’ proposal for Incentive program 2023/2026, costs for the program, other outstanding share-based incentive programs, dilution etc.
Proposal on Incentive Program 2023/2026 has been prepared by external advisors and the board of directors in consultation parts of the company group management.

Valuation
Transfer of warrants in Incentive Program 2023/2026 shall be made at a price corresponding to the warrant's market value. The market value of the warrants in Incentive Program 2023/2026 are, according to a preliminary valuation based on a market value of the underlying share of SEK 29.05 SEK 5,11 per warrant, assuming an exercise price of SEK 38.82 per share. The Black Scholes formula has been used for the valuation assuming a risk-free interest rate of 2.92 percent and a volatility of 37 percent and taking into account that no dividends or other value transfers to shareholders will take place during the validity of the program.

Costs
As the warrants are subscribed for and transferred at fair market value, it is the Company´s assessment that there will be no social fees for the Company as a result of the subscriptions and transfers, except for what is stated section two below regarding foreign participants. The costs will therefore consist only of minimal costs for the implementation and administration of Incentive program 2023/2026.

For foreign participants, social taxes (employer contributions) are likely to apply in UK and US on the increased value between grant and exercise of the warrants. The extent of social taxes is depending on if and when the warrants are exercised by the foreign participants. Social taxes in UK (Employer national insurance contributions) are currently due at a general rate of 13.8 percent applied on the value increase between grant and exercise. Social taxes in US are currently due at a rate between 6-10 percent depending on income level and state. Currently it is expected that Incentive Program 2023/2026 will include 15 foreign participants.

Dilution
The total number of registered shares and votes at the time of this proposal amount to 33,919,142. The maximum dilution of Incentive program 2023/2026 is estimated to be a maximum of approximately 0.99 percent of the total number of shares and votes in the Company (calculated on the number of existing shares the Company), assuming full subscription and exercise of all warrants offered. The maximum dilution of Incentive program 2023/2026 plus the other outstanding incentive programs in the Company (five programs) is estimated to be a maximum of approximately 8.36 percent, assuming full subscription and exercise of all warrants offered and outstanding.

Other outstanding share-based incentive programs
All existing share-related incentive programs are described in the annual report for 2022.

D. Majority requirements
A resolution in accordance with item 11 requires support by shareholders holding not less than two-thirds of both the shares voted and of the shares represented at the general meeting.

Resolution in accordance with item 12 is valid where supported by shareholders representing at least nine tenths of the votes cast and the shares represented at the general meeting.

E. Number of shares and votes
The total number of shares in the Company amounts to 33,919,142 shares and votes in the Company to 33,919,142 as of the date of this notice. The Company does not hold any own shares.

F. Documentation and other information
Copies of accounting documents, auditor's report, power of attorney forms, and the complete proposals and other documents that shall be available in accordance with the Swedish Companies Act are available at the offices of the Company three weeks before the Meeting. All documents will upon request be sent to the shareholders who provide their e-mail of postal address.
