# Motions

Item 2: The Nomination Committee proposes that Lars-Åke Bokenberger be elected as chairman of the meeting.

Item 10: The Board of Directors proposes that a dividend of SEK 0.50 per share shall be paid for the 2024 financial year, spread over two payment dates of SEK 0.25 each per share. The record day for the first payment is proposed to be May 2, 2025, and November 3, 2025, for the second payment. If the AGM resolves in accordance with the proposal, Euroclear Sweden AB is expected to execute the first payment on May 7, 2025, and the second payment on November 6, 2025.

Item 12: The Nomination Committee proposes that six members of the Board of Directors be appointed, and that one auditor be appointed.

Item 13: The Nomination Committee proposes that remuneration to the members of the Board of Directors should be paid as follows (resolution for year 2024 in parenthesis):

| Chairman of the Board of Directors | SEK 1,100,000 | (1,050,000) |
|------------------------------------|---------------|-------------|
| Vice Chairman                      | SEK 310,000   | (295,000)   |
| Other members, who are not         |               |             |
| employed by the company            | SEK 200,000   | (190,000)   |

![](_page_3_Picture_0.jpeg)

The sums include compensation for committee work. It is noted that Rebecka Wallenstam is employed by the company and therefore will not receive compensation for Board work.

Furthermore, it is proposed that SEK 1,000,000 (1,000,000) should be paid in extra directors' fees to the Chairman of the Board of Directors. The intention, like the preceding year, is that Lars-Åke Bokenberger in his chairmanship position shall assist the company management to a significant extent during the year.

The proposed compensation to the members of the Board of Directors thus amounts to SEK 2,010,000 (1,725,000) plus SEK 1,000,000 (1,000,000), which will be SEK 3,010,000 (2,725,000) in total.

The Nomination Committee proposes that fees be paid to the auditor according to approved invoice.

Item 14: The Nomination Committee proposes the re-election of Lars-Åke Bokenberger, Karin Mattsson, Agneta Wallenstam, Mikael Söderlund and Rebecka Wallenstam as well as the new election of Karl Engelbrektson. It is proposed to re-elect Lars-Åke Bokenberger as the Chairman of the Board of Directors.

A presentation of the individuals proposed by the Nomination Committee for election to the Board of Directors, as well as the Nomination Committee's reasoned statement regarding the proposed Board of Directors, are available on Wallenstam's website, [www.wallenstam.se/arsstamma.](http://www.wallenstam.se/arsstamma)

Karl Engelbrektson, who is proposed for new election, has a solid background in defense and security, with experience as the Chief of the Swedish Army and as Sweden's representative in the EU and NATO, as well as several years of experience from the Swedish Government Offices and the Headquarters of the Swedish Armed Forces. He is, inter alia, Chairman of Sparc Group AB and a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of War Sciences and the Swedish Society for International Affairs, as well as an advisor to the Stockholm School of Economics, Volvo AB and Ramudden Global.

Item 15: The Nomination Committee proposes that KPMG be elected as Wallenstam's auditor for the period until the end of the 2026 AGM. KPMG has advised that Mathias Arvidsson will be the chief auditor if the AGM elects KPMG as auditor. The Nomination Committee's proposal is in line with the Audit Committee's recommendation concerning election of the auditor.

Item 16: The Nomination Committee proposes that a new Nomination Committee be appointed for the 2026 AGM in accordance with the following:

If the AGM approves the Nomination Committee's proposal with regard to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Lars-Åke Bokenberger is proposed for election as a member of the Nomination Committee in his capacity as Chairman of the Board of Directors, otherwise the individual elected as Chairman. It is further proposed that Hans Wallenstam (principal shareholder) and Dick Bergqvist (AMF) be elected as members of the Nomination Committee.

Dick Bergqvist is proposed for election as chairman of the Nomination Committee. It is noted that Dick Brenner has declined re-election.

Should a member resign prematurely, the remaining members shall if necessary appoint a new member in line with what is stated above, to serve on the Nomination Committee until a new Nomination Committee is appointed.

The Nomination Committee shall fulfil the duties that arise under the Swedish Corporate Governance Code.

Item 18: The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves to authorize the Board of Directors, on one or more occasions until the next AGM, to take decisions regarding the acquisition of as many of its own B shares on Nasdaq Stockholm or another regulated market, such that the company's holding at any one time does not exceed 10 percent of all shares in the company. Such acquisitions shall take place at the best available price for the company. The restrictions on the highest and lowest price arising under applicable stock exchange rules must be observed. The purpose of the authorization to acquire the company's own shares is to provide the Board of Directors with the freedom of action to adjust the company's capital structure and create value for the company's shareholders.

Item 19: The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves to authorize the Board of Directors, on one or more occasions until the date of the next AGM, to take decisions on the transfer of the company's own shares, as follows:

The Board of Directors may decide to transfer the company's own shares on Nasdaq Stockholm or another regulated market. The Board of Directors may also – with or without preferential rights for shareholders – take decisions regarding the transfer of the company's own shares by other means than through Nasdaq Stockholm or another regulated market. Transfer may take place against cash payment, for valuable consideration in other assets than cash or by offsetting debt through the company's transfer of shares in exchange for a claim against the company. The Board of Director's decision regarding transfer must be executed within the time period determined by the Board of Directors. Transfers shall take place at the best available price for the company and may not exceed the number of shares held by the company at the time of transfer. The restrictions on the highest and lowest price arising under applicable stock exchange rules must be observed.

The purpose of the proposed authorization is to:

- promote a more efficient capital structure in the company, which is anticipated to have a positive effect on the price of the company's shares and thus contribute to creating the largest possible return for the shareholders,
- create flexibility in the company's ability to distribute capital to the shareholders,
- continually adapt the company's capital structure to its capital requirements at any given time in order to contribute to increased shareholder value, and
- enable the financing of acquisitions through payment with the company's own shares.
