14. Guidelines for remuneration to executive managers

Proposal for guidelines for executive remuneration to executive managers
CEO, deputy CEO, and any other persons within the executive management as well as Board members, to the extent they receive remuneration in addition to Board fees, fall within the provisions of these guidelines. The guidelines are forward-looking, i.e. they are applicable to remuneration agreed, and amendments to remuneration already agreed, after adoption of the guidelines by the Annual General Meeting. These guidelines do not apply to any remuneration resolved or approved by the General Meeting.

The guidelines’ promotion of the Company’s business strategy, long-term interests and sustainability
Eastnine's vision is to create and provide the best venues where ideas can flow, people meet and successful business operations develop. The Company's business concept is to be the leading, long-term provider of modern and sustainable office premises in prime locations at selected markets in Poland and the Baltics. At any time, current versions of vision and business concept, as well as further information regarding the Company’s business strategy, are available at www.eastnine.com. The Company shall have the remuneration levels and terms of employment required to recruit and retain expertise and necessary capacity. Variable cash remuneration covered by these guidelines shall aim at promoting the Company’s business strategy and long-term interests, including sustainability. The long-term incentive programs that exist in the Company are excluded from these guidelines.

Types of remuneration, etc.
The remuneration for executives can consist of fixed cash salary, variable cash remuneration, pension and insurance benefits, and other customary benefits. Additionally, the General Meeting may, irrespective of these guidelines, resolve on, among other things, long-term share-based or share-related incentive programs/remuneration.

The Board of Directors decide at its discretion, according to established internal performance-based goals, whether a variable cash remuneration should be paid to the executives. The variable cash remuneration shall mainly be linked to predetermined and measurable criteria which can be financial or non-financial. Variable cash remuneration may amount to not more than 50 per cent of the fixed salary. Additionally, the executives may be entitled to an individual premium-based pension plan according to which the Company pays premiums corresponding to a maximum of 4.5 per cent of the fixed salary up to 7.5 income base amounts, and premiums corresponding to a maximum of 30 per cent on salary components exceeding 7.5 income base amounts. Other benefits may include, for example, health insurance, health care and car benefits.  Such benefits may amount to not more than 10 per cent of the fixed salary.

Termination of employment
The notice period may not exceed twelve months if notice of termination of employment is made by the Company. Fixed cash salary during the period of notice, and severance pay, may together not exceed an amount equivalent to the CEO’s fixed cash salary for two years, and twelve months for other executives.
The period of notice may not exceed six months without any right to severance pay when termination is made by the executive. In addition, remuneration may be paid for non-compete undertakings. Such remuneration shall compensate for loss of income and shall only be paid in so far as the previously employed executive is not entitled to severance pay. The remuneration shall be the difference between the fixed monthly salary and the lower income the employee receives and be paid during the time the non-compete undertaking applies, which shall not be for more than six months following the termination of employment.

Salary and employment conditions for employees
In the preparation of the Board of Directors’ proposal for these remuneration guidelines, salary and employment conditions for employees of the Company have been taken into account by including information on the employees’ total income, the components of the remuneration and increase and growth rate over time, in the Board of Directors’ basis of decision when evaluating whether the guidelines and the limitations set out herein are reasonable.

The decision-making process to determine, review and implement the guidelines
Eastnine established a Remuneration Committee in 2022 with main tasks in accordance with the Swedish Corporate Governance Code.

The Board of Directors shall prepare a proposal for new guidelines at least every fourth year and submit it to the General Meeting. The guidelines shall be in force until new guidelines are adopted by the General Meeting. The Board of Directors shall also monitor and evaluate programs for variable remuneration for the executive management, the application of the guidelines for executive remuneration as well as the current remuneration structures and compensation levels in the Company. The CEO and other members of the executive management do not participate in the Board of Directors’ processing of, and resolutions regarding, remuneration-related matters in so far as they are affected by such matters.

Deviation from the guidelines
The Board of Directors may resolve to deviate from the guidelines resolved by the Annual General Meeting, 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. As set out above, the Board of Directors’ tasks include preparing the resolutions in remuneration-related matters. This includes any resolutions to deviate from the guidelines.

15. Resolution regarding authorization for the Board of Directors to transfer own shares
The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves to authorize the Board of Directors to transfer own shares, under the following conditions:

  1. Shares may be transferred on Nasdaq Stockholm or otherwise.
  2. Transfers may take place with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights.
  3. Transfers on Nasdaq Stockholm may take place at a price per share within the registered share price interval from time to time, which means the spread between the highest buying price and the lowest selling price prevailing from time to time on the exchange. Transfers made otherwise shall be made on market terms.
  4. The authorization covers all shares held by the Company from time to time.
  5. Payment for the shares shall be made in cash, by contributions in-kind or by set-off.
  6. The authorization may be utilized on one or more occasions, however not longer than until the next AGM.

The purpose of the authorization to transfer own shares and the reasons for any deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights is to enable the Board of Directors to adjust the Company’s capital structure and to use repurchased own shares as payment for, or financing of, acquisitions or investments in order to create increased value for the shareholders.

A resolution in accordance with this item 15 requires that shareholders representing no less than two thirds of the votes cast as well as the shares represented at the AGM approve the resolution.

The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves to authorize the Board of Directors to acquire the Company’s own shares, under the following conditions:

  1. The share purchases may take place on Nasdaq Stockholm at a price per share within the registered share price interval from time to time, which means the spread between the highest buying price and the lowest selling price prevailing from time to time on the exchange.
  2. Purchases may also be made in accordance with an offer directed to all shareholders with a cash consideration not below the market price at the time of the offer and with a maximum upward deviation of 20 percent.
  3. The Company may only purchase so many shares that the Company’s holding of its own shares does not at any time exceed 10 percent of all the shares in the Company.
  4. Payment for the shares shall be made in cash.
  5. The authorization may be utilized on one or more occasions, however not longer than until the next AGM.

The purpose of this authorization to acquire own shares in the Company is to enable the Board of Directors to adjust the capital structure and thereby generate a higher value for the shareholders.

17. Resolution regarding authorization for the Board of Directors to resolve on new share issue
The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves to authorize the Board of Directors to, on one or more occasions until the next AGM, decide upon an issue of shares in the Company corresponding to not more than 10 per cent of the Company’s share capital, with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential right. Furthermore, the proposal means that an issue may be made against cash payment, by set-off or by contribution in kind. Shares shall, in case of deviation from the shareholders’ preferential right to subscription, be issued on market terms. The purpose of this authorization is to enable the Company to, completely or partially, finance any future real property investments and/or acquisitions of real property companies/businesses by issuing new shares as payment in connection with agreements on acquisitions, to raise capital for such investments and/or acquisitions, and to adapt and improve the Company’s capital structure.

A resolution in accordance with this item 17 requires that shareholders representing no less than two thirds of the votes cast as well as the shares represented at the AGM approve the resolution.
