meeting. The Company encourages shareholders to vote in advance or submit proxies with voting instructions in advance of the general meeting, as further described

• Generalforsamlingen vil bli avholdt elektronisk i form av et Teams-møte. Aksjonærer som melder seg på innen den nevnte fristen må også sende en e-post til [email protected] for å få tilsendt innkalling til dette møtet.

Påmelding gjøres elektronisk via VPS Investortjenester eller på http://investor.kid.no

Dersom aksjer er registrert i VPS gjennom en forvalter, jf. allmennaksjeloven § 4-10, og den reelle aksjeeieren ønsker å delta i generalforsamlingen, personlig eller ved fullmakt, må den reelle aksjeeieren overføre aksjene til en VPS-konto i den reelle aksjeeierens navn forut for generalforsamlingsdagen.

Aksjonærer har rett til å møte og stemme ved fullmektig. Det må i så tilfelle fremlegges en skriftlig og datert fullmakt. Vedlagte fullmaktsskjema (Vedlegg 3) kan benyttes.

Det gjøres oppmerksom på at fullmakt uten stemmeinstruks kan utløse flaggeplikt etter norsk rett. Innehav av en stemmefullmakt uten stemmeinstruks likestilles etter verdipapirhandelloven § 4-2 tredje ledd med eierskap av aksjer eller rettigheter til aksjer. Dette betyr at fullmektigen vil ha plikt til å flagge fullmaktene dersom disse gjelder et antall aksjer som (sammen med fullmektigens eventuelle egne aksjer eller rettigheter til aksjer) når opp til eller overstiger tersklene for flaggeplikt i verdipapirhandelloven § 4-2 annet ledd.

Dersom det foreslåtte utbyttet blir vedtatt vil aksjen handles eks. utbytte på Oslo Børs fra og med 12. mai 2023. Utbetaling av utbytte vil finne sted 26. mai 2023.

Dersom en aksjeeier ønsker å få tilsendt dokumentene, kan henvendelse rettes til Selskapet på telefon: 940 26 000, eller ved å sende en forespørsel pr e-post til [email protected].

• The general meeting will be held electronically as a Teams-meeting. Shareholders who notify their attendance within the deadline set out above must also send an e-mail to [email protected] to receive an invitation to the meeting.

Notice of attendance may be given electronically via VPS Investor Services or http://investor.kid.no

If the shares are held through a nominee, cf. the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act Section 4-10, and the beneficial owner wishes to attend the general meeting, whether in person or by proxy, the beneficial owner must transfer the shares to a VPS account in the name of the beneficial owner prior to the date of the general meeting.

Shareholders may appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf. In this case a written and dated proxy must be provided. The enclosed proxy form (Appendix 3) may be used.

Please note that proxies without voting instructions may trigger disclosure requirements under Norwegian law. Under the Norwegian Securities Trading Act section 4-2 third paragraph the possession of a proxy without voting instructions is considered equal to ownership of shares or rights to shares. This means that a proxy is required to disclose the proxies if the number of shares to which they relate (together with any shares or rights to shares held by the proxy) reaches or exceeds the disclosure thresholds under the Norwegian Securities Trading Act section 4-2 second paragraph.

If the proposed dividend is approved the shares will trade ex. dividends on Oslo Børs from and including 12 May 2023. Payment of the dividend will be made on 26 May 2023.

Sak 11 - Styrefullmakt til erverv av Selskapets egne aksjer

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting pass the following resolution:

"The board of directors is authorised pursuant to the Public Limited Liability Companies Act § 9-4 to acquire shares in the Company ("own shares") on behalf of the Company with an aggregate nominal value of up to 4,877,419.

1. Key developments in remuneration

This report on remuneration to senior executives (the "Report") is prepared by the board of directors of Kid ASA. The Report has been prepared in accordance with the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Act 1997 section 6-16 b, the Norwegian Regulation on Guidelines and Report on Remuneration of Leading Employees of 2020 section 6 and the Norwegian Accounting Act section 7-31b.

The remuneration report for 2022 complies with the Remuneration Policy approved by the General Meeting in May 2021. The Policy is applicable for a period of four years unless material changes are proposed by the Board of Directors and can be found on the Company's website investor.kid.no. The remuneration policy is subject for a yearly review by the Board. No changes to the policy have been proposed for 2022.

The overall objective of the remuneration guidelines for the Executive Management is to attract, retain and motivate employees with the skills, qualifications and experience needed to maximize value creation for the Company and its shareholders. KID shall offer competitive terms to its Executive Management Team, and consequently, the remuneration of the Executive Management Team shall as far as possible be in line with the market level for remuneration of senior management in comparable companies. However, the remuneration of the Executive Management Team shall not be of a size or nature which is liable to harm the Company's reputation.

The remuneration of the Board is approved by the General Meeting. The Board of Directors are not eligible to participate in any incentive arrangements operated by KID and receive a fixed annual fee.

The Remuneration Policy, adopted by the general meeting 2021, have been fully implemented. No deviations from the Remuneration Guidelines have been decided and no derogations from the procedure for implementation of the Remuneration Guidelines have been made. No remuneration has been reclaimed by the Company during the reported financial year. The Remuneration Report will be presented to the Annual General Meeting 2023 for an advisory vote.

1.1 Overall company performance

Revenues for 2022 increase by 2.6% to MNOK 3 178.0 (MNOK 3 097.1). The like-for-like sales growth was 3.1 % and online sales grew by 12.1%, accounting for 10.8 % of total revenues. Gross margin was 58.1 % (62.6 %) for 2022. Other operating expenses including IFRS16 and employee benefit expenses, ended at 35.7 % of revenues up from 34.6 % in 2021. Operating profit (EBIT) was MNOK 369.2, down from MNOK 541.2, driven by decreased gross margin and higher operating expenses.

In accordance with the Remuneration Policy, the remuneration of the Executive Management consists of a fixed annual salary and performance-based bonuses. Since the targets of the short- and long-term incentive plans are linked to the company's profitability targets, the development of the company's business operations is reflected in the remuneration paid to the executive management. For further details on the Company's performance in 2022, reference is made to the Company's consolidated annual accounts for 2022, available at kid.investor.no.

1. 2 Key developments in Board remuneration

The Nomination Committee is responsible for preparing matters related to the election and remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors for the General Meeting. At the General Meeting in May 2022 two members of the Board were re-elected and one new member was elected. The Annual General Meeting adopted a Remuneration Policy which is applicable to the Board immediately following the General Meeting. Also, it was approved to adjust the Board remuneration based on the levels of remuneration for elected members of Boards of Directors in comparable companies. The General Meeting resolved that the remuneration of the Board of Directors for the previous twelve months should be as followed (TNOK):

2021 2022
Chairperson:
Fee 400 500
Board member:
Fee 325 365
Number of members 4 4
Additional fee to audit committee:
Fee 12 per meeting 14 per meeting
Number of members 2 2
Nomination committee:
Fee 40 40
Number of members 2 2

No Board member has taken on additional tasks in the company outside their normal duties during the year.

1. 3 Key developments in Executive Management remuneration

There have been no changes in the composition of the Executive Management in 2022, and remuneration in 2022 was in line with the approved Remuneration policy. The remuneration level is a result of business results, individual performance and alignment with competitive terms. The decrease in total remuneration compared to 2021 is due to lower bonus provisions and negative change in the long term incentive plan from 2021, partly offset by adjustments of base salary.

The incentive plans are based on financial targets aligned with the strategic ambition. As a result of lower financial performance in 2022, both the short-term and the long-term programs resulted in 0% bonus. In 2021, the short-term incentive and long-term incentive program resulted in 100% of maximum bonus.

2.3 Remuneration to Executive Management

The total remuneration for Executives comprises a base salary, a short-term cash-based incentive, a long-term cash-based incentive, a pension contribution and other benefits. The fixed remuneration enables the Executives to take decisions with a long-term perspective in mind without undue considerations for short- or long-term incentives. The variable remuneration is designed to promote performance in line with the company's strategy and to further align the interests of Executives and shareholders. The variable remuneration is based on financial targets of the Group. Set out below is an overview of the Executive remuneration in 2021 and 2022 (TNOK):

***The remuneration for Anders Lorentzson is presented in SEK

There have not been any loans or guarantees granted to key management personnel for either 2021 or 2022. The CEO has 6 months' salary as termination benefit if the termination is initiated by the Company. There are no share-based payments. On December 21, 2022 it was announced that CFO Eystein Lund is stepping down. He will receive monthly salary until 31. March 2023 and a severance pay of NOK 750.000.

2.3.1 Short term incentive plan

For 2022, the Board determined the maximum possible bonus to be 6 month's base salary for the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and 4.5 month's base salary for the VD of Hemtex. The bonus is determined based on the financial performance of the Company in relation to the budget for the financial year. The short-term bonus for the Executives was 0% of maximum (100% in 2021). As a result, the accrued bonus for the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer for 2022 is NOK 0.

2.3.2 Long-term incentive plan

The Executive Management have participated in a long-term incentive plan consisting of a one-year performance period where a bonus deposit for executive management is calculated based on financial profit target (by EBITDA ex IFRS 16) for the financial year. For 2021, management earned the maximum deposit of 3 months' salary. The deposit is adjusted based on the change in the Company´s share price on a volume weighted average share price the week following the Annual General Meeting adjusted for dividends and the following periods until payout. The program is designed with annual payments over the 3 years following the annual general meeting after the financial year of the deposit, with 25% the two first years and 50% the last year. The first payment based on the deposits for 2021 will be made after the annual general meeting in 2023 and the final payment after the annual general meeting in 2025.

For 2022, management did not earn a deposit on this incentive plan. The deposit from 2021 has been adjusted based on the share price at year end 31.12.22 compared to the volume weighted average share price the week following the Annual General Meeting in 2022. This has resulted in a negative development in the deposit amount as illustrated in the table above. Furthermore, the deposit for Eystein Lund has been removed. The long-term incentive plan is approved and unchanged for 2023 with possible payouts in 2025-2027 based on the financial performance in 2023 and share price development over the payout period.
