Election Committee (item 15)

The Election Committee proposes that the Meeting assigns the Chairman of the Board the task of convening an Election Committee, based on the ownership structure at the end of September 2024, comprising the Chairman of the Board and one member appointed by each of the three largest shareholders of the Company. The Election Committee shall remain in place until the following Election Committee has been appointed. If a member of the Election Committee no longer represents one of the three largest shareholders in the Company, the Election Committee is entitled to dismiss the member. In the event that a member of the Election Committee resigns or is dismissed, the Election Committee may appoint another member nominated by the major shareholders to replace such a member. The Election Committee shall perform its duties in accordance with the stipulations for Election Committees stated in the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance.

Guidelines for remuneration of senior executives (item 16)

The Board of Directors proposes guidelines principally entailing that the Company shall offer an attractive and competitive remuneration in order to recruit and retain highly experienced personnel. No material changes are proposed compared to the guidelines adopted by the annual general meeting 2020. Remuneration of senior executives may comprise base salary, a variable cash-based short-term incentive program, pension benefits, company car and other benefits.

The variable cash-based short-term incentive program may amount to not more than 50 percent of the fixed annual base salary for the CEO & President and 25 percent for other executives. The variable cash-based short-term incentive program shall be linked to predetermined and measurable targets which can be financial or non-financial. These targets may be collective or individualized, and be either quantitative or qualitative in nature. The criteria shall be designed so successful delivery of a target directly contributes to the successful delivery of the Company’s business objective for the year. The Board of Directors shall define the targets applicable for the variable cash-based short-term incentive during the first quarter of the year. To which extent the target achievement has been met, and a cash-based short-term incentive shall be awarded, shall be evaluated at the end of the year. The Board is responsible for this evaluation so far as it concerns cash-based short-term incentive to the CEO. For variable cash-based short-term incentive to other executives, the CEO is responsible for the evaluation following consultation with the Board.

Payments under the variable cash-based short-term incentive program shall not qualify for pension benefits. Pension benefits are to comprise defined-contribution schemes. For senior executives covered by the ITP plan, the pension premium is to correspond to the stipulations of the ITP plan. For other senior executives, the pension premium is to not exceed 25 percent of the fixed salary.

Other benefits may include, for example, health care insurance and company car. Such benefits may amount to not more than 10 percent of the fixed annual base salary.

The Board 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.

Share issue authorization (item 17)

The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to grant authorization to the Board, for a period that does not extend past the date of the next Annual General Meeting, on one or several occasions, with or without pre-emptive rights for the shareholders, to resolve on the issue of new shares and/or convertibles entitling to conversion to shares. It shall also be possible to make such an issue resolution stipulating in-kind payment, the right to offset debt or other conditions. The number of shares issued, or which may arise through the conversion of convertibles issued with the support of the authorization, may correspond to not more than 30 percent of the total number of shares in the Company after utilization of the authorization. The purpose of the authorization is to enable the financing, commercialization and development of the Company’s projects and to provide flexibility in commercial negotiations relating to partnerships.
