If a shareholder elects not to appoint a representative, the right to appoint a member passes to the next largest shareholder (provided such shareholder has not already appointed or is entitled to appoint a member). If a member resigns, the shareholder appointing the resigning member shall be asked to appoint another member. The chairman of the Nomination Committee shall be the member appointed by the largest shareholder (unless the Nomination Committee agrees otherwise).

The Nomination Committee shall act in the interest of all shareholders. The duties of the Nomination Committee shall include to evaluate the Board’s constitution and work, and to make proposals for the AGM regarding:

-           election of chairman for the AGM,

-           number of Board members,

-           election of the Board and the chairman of the Board,

-           election of auditor (in cooperation with the Board’s audit committee),

-           remuneration of the Board, the Board’s committees and the auditor, and

-           the Nomination Committee for the next AGM.

In case of material ownership changes during the mandate period, the Nomination Committee shall ensure that a new large shareholder is represented in the Nomination Committee. The constitution of the Nomination Committee shall be announced not later than six months before the AGM.

The members of the Nomination Committee receive no compensation from the Company but are entitled to reimbursement for reasonable expenses.

Point 19: The Board proposes that the meeting adopt the following guidelines on remuneration for executives:

These guidelines concern remuneration and other employment terms for Ferronordic’s management. The guidelines apply to employment contracts made after the approval of these guidelines by the meeting and to amendments to existing agreements made thereafter.

Basic principles

Remuneration to executives is based on current market terms on the markets where Ferronordic operates. Remuneration shall also be competitive in order to attract and retain competent executives.

Fixed salaries

Fixed salaries are established individually based on the criteria specified above, as well as the individual executive’s areas of responsibility and performance. For expatriates with salaries in local currency, the fixed salaries can be adjusted to reflect changes in foreign exchange rates.

 Variable salaries

Executives may receive variable salaries in addition to fixed salaries. Variable salaries are paid upon fulfilment of pre-determined and measurable performance criteria, primarily based on the development of the Group as a whole, and/or the part of the group’s business that the executive is responsible for. Variable salary for the CEO as well as executives shall not exceed 100% of the fixed salary.

LTI-program

A share or warrant-based long-term incentive program for the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ senior management may be introduced as per separate decision.

Other benefits

Executives are entitled to customary non-monetary benefits such as company cars and company health insurance. In addition, company housing and other benefits can be offered on an individual basis, such as housing allowances and school/kindergarten allowances for expatriates.

Pension benefits

In addition to those pension benefits that executives are entitled to according to law, executives may be offered pension benefits that are competitive in the country where the individual in question is or has been a resident or to which the individual has a relevant connection. Pension plans shall be defined contribution plans without guaranteed pension levels.

Severance pay

Severance pay shall not exceed 12 months.

The Board’s preparation and decision-making on issues concerning remuneration and other terms of employment

The Remuneration Committee is responsible for:

1)          preparing the Board’s decisions on issues concerning principles of remuneration, remuneration and other terms of employment for executives,

2)          monitoring and evaluating ongoing and during the year ended programs for variable remuneration,

3)          monitoring and evaluating the application of these guidelines, and

4)          monitoring and evaluating current remuneration structures and remuneration levels in the Group.

The Remuneration Committee prepares and the Board resolves on:

1)          remuneration and employment terms of the CEO, and

2)          principles for remuneration for the other executives (including pension and severance pay).

The Remuneration Committee also reviews and recommends to the Board share-based incentive programs to be decided by the AGM.

Authority to decide on deviations from these guidelines

The Board may deviate from these guidelines if there are specific reasons in individual cases.

Earlier decisions on remuneration not due at the time of the AGM’s consideration of these guidelines

Remuneration approved but not due at the time of the AGM 2025 fall within the frames of these guidelines.

Point 20: The board of directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to authorise the board of directors to, for the period until the next annual general meeting, at one or several occasions, with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, against payment in cash or through set-off or in kind, or otherwise with conditions, resolve on an issue of new shares, convertibles or warrants corresponding to 20% of the total number of currently outstanding shares. The total number of issued shares, or the number of shares that may be issued upon conversion of convertibles or through exercise of warrants, which the authorisation is limited to, will be set out in the board of directors’ complete proposal. The number of shares which may be issued upon conversion of convertibles or through exercise of warrants refers to the number of shares before potential recalculation. The purpose of the authorisation, and the reason for the possibility to deviate from the shareholders’ preferential rights, is to enable the Company to, in a prompt and cost-effective manner, procure capital, carry out acquisitions or make use of other strategic opportunities. A resolution by the board of directors by virtue of this authorisation shall be clearly motivated in accordance with the Swedish Securities Council’s statement 2022:36. The value transferred to the Company through issues by virtue of the authorisation, shall be made on market terms and may include a market-based issue discount.

The board of directors, or the person appointed by the board of directors, shall have the right to make such minor amendments to this resolution that may be necessary in connection with registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.

A resolution in accordance with the proposal under this item shall be valid where supported by shareholders holding not less than two-thirds (2/3) of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the annual general meeting.

The Notice to attend is available in its entirety on the Company’s website: www.ferronordic.com/corporate-governance.
