Resolution on adoption of guidelines for remuneration to senior executives (item 18)
The board of directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to adopt the following guidelines for remuneration to senior executives.
Nyfosa AB has established principles and forms of remuneration to senior executives. The board of directors resolves, after the remuneration committee's preparation, on the size and forms of remuneration structures and remuneration payable to senior executives. The term senior executives means the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and other members of the company's management. The board of directors proposes that the following guidelines for remuneration to senior executives are adopted by the general meeting to apply until further notice, although not longer than until the 2028 Annual General Meeting. These guidelines apply to agreements concluded after the 2024 Annual General Meeting's resolution and where amendments are made to existing agreements after that time. The guidelines do not apply to any potential incentive programs resolved upon by the general meeting.
The guideline's promotion of the company's strategy, long-term interests and sustainability
Nyfosa's strategy is available at Nyfosa's website www.nyfosa.se. A prerequisite for a successful implementation of the company's strategy and safeguarding of its long-term interests, including its sustainability, is that the company is able to recruit and retain qualified personnel. Therefore, the company shall apply compensation levels and employment terms in line with market practice. The forms of remuneration shall motivate senior executives to do their utmost to ensure the shareholders' interests. The forms of remuneration shall also be simple, long-term and measurable.
Remuneration forms
The remuneration to senior executives may comprise a fixed and a variable part and pension and other benefits. The fixed remuneration shall be in line with market practice and be based on competence, responsibility and performance.
Variable remuneration may be awarded to the senior executives where the board of directors considers it appropriate. The variable remuneration shall reward specified and pre-determined results or performance targets. The variable remuneration shall be determined through simple and transparent criteria and shall be maximized. Targets for variable remuneration must relate to financial targets, sustainability targets, operative targets or individual targets within each person's respective area of responsibility.
As a general rule, the measurement period for variable remuneration should be based on performance during a period of twelve months. Variable remuneration shall not entitle to pension benefits and shall not, as a general rule, exceed 50 percent of the annual fixed remuneration for each respective senior executive. Additional variable remuneration may however be paid under extraordinary circumstances, provided that such particular arrangements are limited in time and are carried out only on an individual basis, either in order to recruit or retain senior executives, or as remuneration for extraordinary efforts that goes beyond the senior executive's regular tasks or responsibilities. Such extraordinary variable remuneration may not exceed an amount corresponding to 100 percent of the senior executives' annual fixed remuneration. Decisions on such extraordinary remuneration shall be made by the board of directors.
To which extent the targets for variable remunerations have been fulfilled shall be determined upon the end of the relevant measurement period. The board of directors is responsible for such an assessment as regards variable remuneration to the CEO. As regards variable remuneration to the other senior executives, the CEO is responsible for the assessment.
Non-monetary benefits shall facilitate the work of the senior executive and correspond to what may be deemed reasonable in relation to standard practices on the market in which each senior executive operates. Premiums and other costs (including social costs) for the employer relating so such benefits may (at the time of the decision of the benefit) amount to not more than 10 percent of the senior executives' annual fixed remuneration.
The terms for pension benefits for senior executives shall be based on defined contribution pension plans and comply with or correspond to, and thereby be limited to, general pension plans in accordance with the ITP plan.
The company may pay some remuneration linked to senior executives' acquisition of shares or share-related instruments within the framework of share or share price related incentive programs. Such remuneration shall normally not exceed 15 percent of the senior executive's annual fixed remuneration. Share and share price related incentive programs shall, as applicable, be resolved upon by the general meeting and is therefore not covered by these guidelines. For more information regarding outstanding share and share price related incentive programs, see the company's website www.nyfosa.se.
Termination of employment
The notice period for senior executives is six months. Variable remuneration shall not be paid when the notice of termination is made by the senior executive. Fixed remuneration and severance pay for a senior executive may, combined, not exceed 50 percent of the senior executive's annual fixed remuneration when the notice of termination is made by the senior executive. When the notice of termination is made by the company, fixed remuneration and severance pay for a senior executive may, as a general rule, combined not exceed 150 percent of the senior executive's annual fixed remuneration.
Documents taken into account when preparing the guidelines
Nyfosa has a decentralised and relatively small organisation. The most central functions of the company are located internally and other more standardised functions are maintained by external suppliers.
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 remuneration committee's and the board of directors' basis of decision when evaluating whether the guidelines and the limitations set out herein are reasonable.
Remuneration to the board of directors in addition to fees to the board of directors resolved by the general meeting
In special cases, directors of the board elected by the general meeting should be able to receive fees and other remuneration for work carried out on the company's behalf, alongside their board work. Fees at market rates, to be approved by the board of directors, may be payable for such services. These guidelines are applicable on such remuneration.
Preparation, decision-making process etc.
The board of directors has established a remuneration committee. The committee's tasks include preparing the board of directors' decision to propose guidelines for remuneration to senior executives as well as any deviation from the guidelines. The board of directors shall prepare a proposal for new guidelines at least every fourth year and present the proposal for resolution by the Annual General Meeting. The guidelines shall be in force until new guidelines are adopted by the general meeting. The remuneration committee shall also monitor and evaluate plans for variable remuneration to the executive management, the application of the guidelines for remuneration to senior executives as well as the current remuneration structures and compensation levels in the company. The chairman of the board of directors may be chairman of the remuneration committee. The other members of the remuneration committee shall be independent from the company and its executive management. In the board of directors' work regarding remuneration-related matters, the CEO of the company and the other members of the executive management are not present in so far as the questions concern their own remuneration.
Deviation from the guidelines
The board of directors may temporarily resolve to deviate, in whole or in part, from the guidelines for remuneration to senior executives set out above if in a specific case there is special cause for the deviation and a deviation is necessary to serve the company's long-term interests, including its sustainability, or to ensure the company's financial viability. If the board of directors deviates from the guidelines for remuneration to senior executives this shall be reported in the remuneration report before the upcoming Annual General Meeting.
Description of changes to the guidelines etc.
The board of directors has not received any comments from shareholders on the existing guidelines for remuneration to senior executives. The board of directors has made a general review of the guidelines and the board of directors' proposal for guidelines for remuneration to senior executives largely corresponds the existing guidelines, although with some re-phrasing. The updated guidelines include, inter alia, that the board of directors shall be able to resolve upon additional variable cash remuneration under extraordinary circumstances.
Resolution on directed issue of warrants and approval of transfer of warrants (LTIP 2024) (item 19)
The board of directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves on a directed issue of warrants and approval of transfer of warrants to establish an incentive program for employees in Nyfosa. The company's larger shareholders have in advance expressed their support for the board of directors' proposal.
1. ISSUE OF WARRANTS
1.1 The board of directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves on a directed issue of not more than 760,000 warrants, entailing an increase of the share capital by not more than SEK 380,000 if the issue is fully utilized. The resolution shall otherwise be governed by the following terms and conditions.
1.2 The right to subscribe for the warrants shall, with deviation from the shareholders' pre-emption rights, be vested in the company's wholly owned subsidiary Nyfosa LTIP AB, corp. reg. no. 559168-5820 (the “Subsidiary”), with the right and obligation to transfer the warrants to employees in Nyfosa pursuant to Section 2. Over-subscription is not possible. The warrants shall be issued to the Subsidiary free of charge.
1.3 The reason for the deviation from the shareholders' pre-emption rights is to introduce an incentive program and thereby a competitive remuneration structure, which can serve as guidelines for the group management's work with the company's strategy as well as, in addition to creating focus amongst employees on delivering exceptional performance which contributes to value creation for shareholders, also gives the company's employees the opportunity to take part in the company's success.
1.4 Subscription of warrants must be completed no later than four weeks from when the resolution on issue of warrants was passed. The board of directors shall be entitled to extend the subscription period.
1.5 Each warrant entitles a right to subscribe for one (1) new ordinary share of Class A in the company (“Ordinary Share”). When the warrants are exercised, a recalculation shall be made of the number of Ordinary Shares that each warrant is entitled to subscribe for, in accordance with Section 1.8 below.
1.6 The warrants may be exercised to subscribe for Ordinary Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of the warrants, during a two-week period from the day following the publication of the company's interim report for the period of January 1-March 31, 2027, but no earlier than April 3, 2027 and no later than June 7, 2027. If the warrant holder is unable to subscribe for Ordinary Shares during this period because of applicable insider regulation, the company shall have the right to permit that such warrant holder may instead subscribe for Ordinary Shares as soon as the holder is no longer prevented from doing so, but no later than 30 calendar days after such impediment has ended.
1.7 The subscription price (the “Subscription price”) per Ordinary Share shall be the Ordinary Share's volume weighted average share price on the trading day on which the company publishes the interim report for the period January 1-March 31, 2027 reduced by an amount corresponding to the highest of:
(i) an amount corresponding to the average share price of the company's Ordinary Share at the time of the issue, which shall consist of the average closing price during the period from and including April 24, 2024 up until and including April 30, 2024 according to Nasdaq Stockholm's official share price list, multiplied with
a. the development of the average total return index value for the company's Ordinary Share from and including April 24, 2024 up until and including April 30, 2024 (starting value) in comparison with the trading day on which the company publishes the interim report for the period January 1 – March 31, 2027 (end value),
b. reduced by the development of the average total return index value for real estate companies listed on Nasdaq Stockholm from and including April 24, 2024 up until and including April 30, 2024 (starting value) in comparison with the trading day on which the company publishes the interim report for the period January 1 – March 31, 2027 (end value), and
(ii) SEK 0. [1]
[see image on page 8 in pdf attachment]
The total return index that shall be applied contains all real estate companies listed in Nasdaq Stockholm's real estate index (SX35GI) from time to time and takes into account the companies' share price development and dividends paid.
If the company has inside information during any part of the period from and including April 24, 2024 up until and including April 30, 2024, the board of directors shall have the right to postpone the subscription period and the measurement period for the Ordinary Share's average price and the index, respectively. The subscription price may not be lower than the current quota value of the Ordinary Share.
1.8 Upon exercise of the warrants, the number of Ordinary Shares that each warrant is entitled to subscribe for shall be recalculated in accordance with the following formula, whereas the subscription price paid per Ordinary Share by the participant upon exercise of the warrant shall correspond to the Ordinary Share's quota value.[2]
recalculated number of Ordinary Shares that each warrant entitles to subscription of | = | The Ordinary Share's volume weighted average price on the trading day when the company publishes the interim report for the period January 1 – March 31, 2027 decreased with the Subscription price (calculated in accordance with Section 1.7 above) |
The Ordinary Share's volume weighted average price on the trading day when the company publishes the interim report for the period January 1 – March 31, 2027 decreased with the Ordinary Share's quota value |
1.9 Ordinary Shares that are issued following subscription shall entitle to dividends for the first time on the first record date for dividends which occurs after the subscription for Ordinary Shares has been effected as a result of exercising the warrants.
1.10 The new Ordinary Shares which may be issued due to subscription are not subject to any restrictive provisions.
1.11 The board of directors of the company may by means of a resolution by the board of directors and with the consent from the board of directors in the Subsidiary cancel the warrants held by the Subsidiary and which are not transferred in accordance with Section 2. Cancellation shall be registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
1.12 The board of directors, or someone appointed by the board of directors, is proposed to be authorised to make such minor adjustments to the resolution above which may prove necessary in order to register the warrants with the Swedish Companies Registration Office, Euroclear Sweden AB or due to other applicable rules.
1.13 Other terms and conditions are stated in the full terms of the warrant, appendix 1, which are available on the company's website.
2. APPROVAL OF TRANSFER OF WARRANTS
2.1 Participants and allotment
2.1.1 The board of directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting approves of the Subsidiary's transfer of warrants on the following conditions.
2.1.2 Employees within the Nyfosa group shall be invited to acquire warrants from the Subsidiary in accordance with the following categories:
Category | Guaranteed number of warrants/person | Maximum number of warrants/person |
A. CEO, President (no more than 1 person) | 45,000 | 67,500 |
B. Other members of the group management (no more than 5 persons) | 23,000 (Total within the category: 115,000) | 34,500 |
C. Other employees (no more than 60 persons) | 10,000 (Total within the category: 600,000) | 15,000 |
2.1.3 Should warrants remain after all applications have been satisfied up to the guaranteed level as set out in Section 2.1.2, the remaining warrants shall be available for allotment to participants regardless of category. Such distribution shall however at the most result in the maximum number of warrants per person within each category amounting to the maximum number of warrants set out in the table under Section 2.1.2. Should not all participants who wish to subscribe for the maximum number of warrants set out in the table under Section 2.1.2 be able to do so, the remaining warrants shall be allotted to these participants pro rata in relation to the number of warrants subscribed for, however not exceeding the maximum number of warrants set out in the table under Section 2.1.2.
2.1.4 The board of directors of the company shall decide on the final allotment.
2.1.5 The right to acquire warrants from the Subsidiary shall only belong to employees who have not terminated their employment or whose employment has not been terminated at the end of the application period.
2.1.6 Warrants may also be offered to future employees. For such acquisitions, the conditions shall be the same or equivalent to what is stated in this resolution. This means that acquisitions shall be made at market value at the time of the acquisition.
2.1.7 Allotment is conditional upon it being legally possible to acquire the warrants, and that such transfers can be done using reasonable administrative and financial resources according to the assessment of the board of directors. Furthermore, the board of directors shall be entitled to, with regard to certain participants, alter the program into a cash based program or a program based on synthetic warrants, should this according to the board of directors be motivated due to, for instance, tax and/or legal reasons. In such a case, a maximum outcome per participant shall be determined by the board of directors.
2.2 Price and payment etc.
2.2.1 The warrants shall be transferred on market terms at a price (premium) corresponding to a calculated market value of the warrants performed by an independent valuation institute using a generally recognized valuation model. A new market value shall be established in an equivalent way for acquisitions made by new employees after the expiration of the initial application period.
2.2.2 The value of the warrants has been preliminarily calculated to be SEK 10.71 per warrant based on a share price of SEK 89.75, which corresponded to the closing price of Nyfosa's Ordinary Share on March 7, 2024. The preliminary valuation has been performed by an independent valuation institute, PwC.
2.2.3 The company will by means of a cash bonus subsidize part of certain participants' premium (in accordance with Section 2.2.4 below). The bonus corresponds to the amount that the participant chooses to invest in the incentive program, up to guaranteed level. However, no compensation is provided for the participant's tax expenses, which in practice means that the company, through the cash bonus, provides a contribution to cover expenses which, after tax paid, corresponds to approximately 50 percent of the participant's acquisition cost. The bonus shall be paid in two instalments (divided by 50 percent of the total amount at each instalment) during the term of the warrant program, one after approximately two years (in April 2026) and one after approximately three years (in April 2027). Only premiums for warrants up to and including the guaranteed level for each participant are subsidized, as set out in Section 2.1.2 above.
2.2.4 In order for the participant to be eligible for the bonus it is provided that (a) it is one of the first three times that the employee is offered to participate in a warrant program in the company (b) the participant shall at the time of the payment of the bonus, remain an employee of the company, not have terminated their employment or have had their employment terminated by the company, and (c) not having transferred his or her warrants.
2.2.5 The total cost for the subsidization, based on assumptions of the value of the warrants as set out above, is calculated to amount to a maximum of approximately MSEK 2.43 including social security contributions, for the entire term of the warrant program.
2.2.6 The warrants shall otherwise be subject to market terms and conditions.
2.3 Right of first refusal and termination of employment
The warrants shall be subject to an obligation for participants who wish to transfer or otherwise dispose his or her warrants to a third party, to first offer the warrants to the company or its subsidiaries to redeem at the lowest of the acquisition value and the market value. Furthermore, during the term of the program, the warrants shall be subject to a right for the company or its subsidiaries to repurchase the warrants to the lowest of the acquisition value and the market value, should a participant's employment with or assignments for the company be terminated, or should the employee have terminated their employment or have had their employment terminated by the company. Also, the termination of a participant's employment results in limitations in relation to the right to subsidization of the premium in accordance with Section 2.2.4 above.
3. FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE WARRANT PROGRAM
3.1 Dilution and increase in share capital
3.1.1 Each warrant entitles to subscription of such number of Ordinary Shares as follows by Section 1.8 above but never more than one (1) Ordinary Share per warrant. Upon subscription of all 760,000 warrants, a maximum of 760,000 new Ordinary Shares may thereby be issued, which corresponds to a maximum dilution of approximately 0.4 percent of the total number of shares and the total number of votes in the company, subject to any recalculation following certain corporate events in accordance with the terms and conditions of the warrants. The recalculation applied in accordance with Section 1.8 above means that each warrant, as a starting point, entitles the holder to a lower number of Ordinary Shares and the expected dilution caused by the program is thus lower than the maximum dilution in accordance with the above.
3.1.2 Assuming that the Subscription Price for a Ordinary Share in Nyfosa (that the warrant entitle to subscription of) is set to SEK 100.0, the recalculation upon exercise to net value in accordance with Section 1.8 above upon exercising all 760,000 warrants, the total dilution would be as follows at the volume weighted average prices for Nyfosa's Ordinary Shares shown in the left column below on the trading day on which the company publishes its interim report for the period January 1 - March 31, 2027:
N.B. Illustrative calculation example based on an assumed Subscription Price of SEK 100.0
Average share price of the Ordinary Share | Total number of new Ordinary Shares | Total increase of the share capital | Total dilution |
SEK 100.0 | 0 | SEK 0 | 0,00 % |
SEK 125.0 | 152,610 | SEK 76,305 | 0.08 % |
SEK 150.0 | 254,181 | SEK 127,090.50 | 0.13 % |
SEK 175.0 | 326,648 | SEK 163,324 | 0.17 % |
3.2 Impact on financial ratios and costs for the company etc.
The proposed warrant program is expected to have a marginal impact on the company's financial ratios. The company's costs before taxes for the warrant program, including the directed issuance, the subsequent transfer of warrants and the subsidization, consist of administrative costs and costs relating to social security contributions. The total cost of the warrant program, assuming full participation, is expected to amount to approximately MSEK 2.43, distributed over a period of three years.
3.3 Preparation of the proposal
The proposed warrant program has been prepared by the remuneration committee together with external advisors and after consultation with larger shareholders. The board of directors has thereafter decided to submit this proposal to the Annual General Meeting. Except for the employees who prepared the matter pursuant to instructions from the remuneration committee or the board of directors, no employees that may be included in the program has taken part in the design of the terms and conditions.
3.4 Other share related incentive programs
Apart from the proposed warrant program, Nyfosa has three outstanding warrant programs for its employees established in 2021, 2022 and 2023. Aside from those, there are no outstanding share related incentive programs in Nyfosa.
3.5 Instruction to the board of directors and majority requirements
