Resolution on guidelines for remuneration to senior executives (item 19)

The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting adopts the following guidelines for remuneration to the CEO and the other senior executives in the Executive Management Team of Bufab.

The guidelines shall apply to agreements entered into after the Annual General Meeting 2024, and to changes made in existing agreements after the Annual General Meeting 2024. These guidelines do not apply to any remuneration decided or approved by the general meeting.

Remuneration under employments subject to other rules than Swedish may be duly adjusted to comply with mandatory rules or local practice, taking into account, to the extent possible, the overall purpose of these guidelines.

Promotion of Bufab's business strategy, long-term interests and sustainability

Bufab is a trading company that offers its customers a full-service solution as Supply Chain Partner for sourcing, quality control and logistics for C-Parts. In short, Bufab's strategy is to create value for its customers by taking a comprehensive global responsibility for their supply of such components. One fundamental component of Bufab's strategy for long-term value creation in the business is Bufab's global organization of experts within sourcing, logistics, technology and quality, so called "Solutionists". These employees in Bufab's subsidiaries around the world take full responsibility for the distribution to the customers and ensure the sustainability of the customers supply chain. Hence, a prerequisite for the successful implementation of the company's business strategy and safeguarding of its long-term interests, including its sustainability, is that the company is able to attract and retain qualified personnel. To this end, Bufab strives to offer a competitive total remuneration, which is enabled through these guidelines. More information on Bufab's business strategy is available on Bufab's website bufab. com.

Long-term share-related incentive schemes have been implemented in the company. Since the incentive schemes have been resolved by the general meeting, they are excluded from these guidelines. The long-term share-related incentive scheme proposed by the Board of Directors and submitted to the Annual General Meeting 2024 for approval is excluded for the same reason. The proposed scheme essentially corresponds to existing schemes and includes the CEO, other senior executives and certain other key employees within the Bufab group. The purpose of the incentive schemes is that the participants through their own investments and multi-year holdings of call options regarding the shares in Bufab are to participate in and be motivated to strive for a positive value development for Bufab. The incentive schemes contribute to Bufab offering a competitive total remuneration and thereby enable Bufab to attract and retain qualified employees, and also unite the interests of the shareholders and the participants, which in turn is expected to promote the company's business strategy and longterm interests, including its sustainability. More information on these incentive schemes is available on Bufab's website bufab.com.

Types of remuneration to senior executives, etc.

The remuneration shall be on market terms and may consist of the following components: fixed cash salary, variable cash remuneration, pensions, other benefits and in special cases further variable cash remuneration. Additionally, the general meeting may – irrespective of these guidelines – resolve on, among other things, share-related or share price-related remuneration.

Fixed cash salary

The fixed cash salary shall be on market terms and reflect the responsibilities required by the position. The fixed cash salary shall be revised on an annual basis.

Variable cash remuneration

The variable cash remuneration shall be linked to predetermined and measurable criteria which can be financial or non-financial, with the purpose of promoting the business strategy and longterm interests of Bufab. The criteria shall primarily relate to the company's results and may be individual. Furthermore, the criteria shall relate to the overall progress of the Bufab group, although criteria related to specific business areas may occur. The variable cash remuneration shall amount to a maximum of 75 percent of the total fixed annual cash salary for the CEO and a maximum of 50 percent of the total fixed annual cash salary for the other senior executives.

Pensions

Senior executives may be offered individual pension solutions. Pensions shall, to the extent possible, be defined contribution plans. If deemed to be on market terms, variable cash remuneration may qualify for pension benefits. The pension premiums may amount to a maximum of 40 percent of the pension qualifying income.

Other benefits

Other benefits may include, among other things, health insurance and company car. Such benefits may amount to a maximum of 10 percent of the fixed annual cash salary.

Further variable cash remuneration in special cases

Further variable cash remuneration may be awarded in extraordinary circumstances, provided that such extraordinary arrangements are limited in time and only made on an individual basis, either for the purpose of attracting or retaining executives, or as remuneration for extraordinary performance beyond the individual's ordinary tasks. Such remuneration may not exceed an amount corresponding to 50 percent of the fixed annual cash salary and may not be paid more than once each year per individual. Any resolution on such remuneration shall be made by the Board of Directors based on a proposal from the Remuneration Committee.

Determination of the outcome for variable cash remuneration

Ahead of each measurement period, the Board of Directors shall, based on the work of the Remuneration Committee, establish which criteria that are deemed to be relevant for the variable cash remuneration. The measurement periods can be one or several years. The Board of Directors' evaluations regarding fulfilment of financial targets shall be based on established financial information for the relevant period. Variable cash remuneration can be paid after the measurement period has ended or be subject to deferred payment. The Board of Directors shall have the right to, by general principles of law or agreement, recover wrongful payments of variable cash remuneration in whole or in part.

Termination of employment

Senior executives are to be employed until further notice. Between Bufab and senior executives, the notice period shall amount to a maximum of 18 months. If notice of termination of employment is made by Bufab, the remuneration to be paid by Bufab, including remuneration during the notice period, shall amount to a maximum of 18 months of fixed cash salary, variable cash remuneration and other employment benefits. When termination is made by the senior executives, there is no right to severance pay.

Additionally, senior executives may be compensated for non-compete undertakings. Such remuneration aim to compensate the senior executive for the difference between the fixed monthly cash salary at the time of termination of the employment and the lower income that can be received, reasonably may be expected to be received or would have been received after reasonable efforts by the senior executive.

Salary and employment conditions for employees

In the preparation of the Board of Directors' proposal for these guidelines, salary and employment conditions for the company's employees 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.

The decision-making process to determine, review and implement the guidelines

The Remuneration Committee's tasks include preparing the Board of Directors' decision to propose guidelines for remuneration to senior executives. The Board of Directors shall prepare a proposal for new guidelines at least every fourth year and submit it to 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 programs for variable remuneration for the senior executives, the application of the guidelines for remuneration to senior executives as well as the current remuneration structures and compensation levels in the company. The CEO and other senior executives 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 temporarily resolve to deviate from the guidelines, in whole or in part, if in a specific case there is special cause for the deviation and a deviation is necessary to serve Bufab's long-term interests, including its sustainability, or to ensure Bufab's financial viability. As set out above, the Remuneration Committee's tasks include preparing the Board of Directors' resolutions in remuneration-related matters. This includes any resolutions to deviate from the guidelines.

Description of significant changes to the guidelines and comments from shareholders

In relation to current guidelines, resolved by the Annual General Meeting 2021, the proposal for the Annual General Meeting 2024 means that the CEO shall be able to receive a variable cash remuneration amounting to a maximum of 75 percent of the total fixed annual cash salary, compared to previously a maximum of 50 percent of the total fixed annual cash salary.

The Board of Directors has not received any comments from shareholders on the guidelines for remuneration to senior executives.

Resolution on implementation of a long-term share based incentive program by (A) issue of call options for shares in Bufab, (B) authorisation of the Board of Directors to resolve on acquisition of own shares and (C) transfer of repurchased shares to participants of the Company's incentive programs (item 20)

Like previous years, the Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting 2024 resolves to adopt a long-term share based incentive program (the "Program"), on terms and conditions in line with the 2023 incentive program. The Program, which is proposed to comprise approximately 30 key employees within the Bufab group, essentially involves that the participants are given the opportunity to acquire, at market price, call options relating to shares in Bufab AB (publ) repurchased by the Company and that participants who remain as employees within the group after three years and still hold call options may receive a subsidy in the form of gross salary additions corresponding to the premium paid for the call options held at the time of payment.

Formally, the Program consists of (A) the issuing of call options for shares in Bufab, (B) an authorisation of the Board of Directors to resolve on acquisition of own shares and (C) transfer of repurchased shares to participants of the Company's incentive programs in accordance with the following.

(A) Resolution on issue of call options for shares in Bufab

• a. The number of call options to be issued shall not exceed 210,000, corresponding to approximately 0,6 per cent of the total number of shares and votes in the Company. Each call option entitles the holder to acquire one (1) repurchased share in the Company during the period from and including 15 May 2027 up to and including 15 November 2027. However, shares may not be purchased during any such period when trading in the Company's shares is prohibited in accordance with regulation (EU) no 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on market abuse (the "market abuse regulation") or any other equivalent legislation which applies at any given time.
• b. The purchase price for shares upon exercise of the call option shall correspond to 115 per cent of the volume-weighted average closing prices for the Company's share on Nasdaq Stockholm during the five trading days before the Board of Directors' resolution on allotment of call options.

• c. The right to acquire the call options shall be granted to the CEO of Bufab group, to senior executives and to other key employees within the group who are directly able to influence the group's profit. The CEO shall be offered a maximum of 30,000 call options. Other participants are divided into two categories depending on seniority, each comprising approximately 15 persons, who shall be offered a maximum of 10,000 and 5,000 call options, respectively, per person.
• d. If a participant refrains in full or in part from acquiring offered call options, such unacquired call options shall be allocated on a pro rata basis between those participants who have, in writing, expressed their interest in acquiring additional call options. Participants are not entitled in this manner to acquire more than an additional 30 per cent of the original number of call options offered.
• e. The call options shall be allotted against payment in accordance with the Board of Directors' resolution to the CEO, senior executives and other key employees within the Bufab group, in accordance with the guidelines stated in items c) and d) above. Allotment is expected to take place during the second quarter 2024.
• f. Allotment of call options according to item e) shall be made at market value calculated by Ernst & Young AB as an independent valuation institute, applying the Black & Scholes valuation method. The calculation is based on the variables risk-free interest rate, volatility, the term of the call options, expected dividends during the term of the call options, current share price and the acquisition price for shares when exercising the call options (strike price). Since the call options are acquired at market price, no criteria for allocation in the Program are established.
• g. The issuance of call options to employees outside of Sweden is dependent on tax effects, that there is no legal impediment, and that the Board of Directors determines that such allocation can be carried out with reasonable administrative and financial resources. The Board of Directors shall be entitled to make such minor amendments to the Program as required by applicable foreign legislation and regulations.
• h. The call options are freely transferable.
• i. The number of shares which the call options bring entitlement to acquire, as well as the exercise price, may be recalculated as a result of e.g. bonus issues, revers splits or splits of shares, new share issues, a reduction of the share capital, or similar actions. The time of transfer of shares may be brought forward as a result of any merger or similar actions.
• j. In order to encourage participation in the Program, the Board of Directors is authorised to resolve on a subsidy in the form of gross salary additions, maximum corresponding to the premium paid for each call option. In such cases, the subsidy will be paid in June 2027, subject to the participant at such point in time is remaining in his/her employment or another corresponding employment within the Bufab group and still holding call options. If a participant has disposed a part of its call options, the participant should receive a subsidy maximum corresponding to the premium paid for the call options held by the participant at the time of payment.
• k. The Company has the right but not any obligation to, on its own or through a third party, repurchase call options at a price corresponding to no more than the market value, with the purpose of facilitating the participant's exercise of the remaining call options acquired under the Program. However, call options may not be repurchased during any such period when trading in the Company's shares is prohibited in accordance with Article 19 of the market abuse regulation or any other equivalent legislation which applies at any given time.

l. The Board of Directors shall, within the framework of the above terms and conditions, be responsible for the preparation and management of the Program.

(B) Resolution on authorisation of the Board of Directors to resolve on repurchase of own shares

In order to hedge Bufab's delivery of shares to the participants of the Program, the Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to authorise the Board of Directors to acquire, during the period until the next Annual General Meeting, a maximum of 210,000 shares in the Company. Acquisition shall be made on Nasdaq Stockholm in accordance with stock exchange regulations at a price within the registered price interval from time to time, which is the interval between the highest purchase price and the lowest sale price. Acquired shares shall be paid in cash and acquisitions may be made on one or several occasions.

(C) Resolution on transfer of repurchased shares to participants of the Company's incentive programs

The Board of Directors' proposal also implies that the Annual General Meeting approves that the Company, with deviation from the shareholders' preferential right, transfer a maximum of 210,000 of the Company's repurchased shares to the participants of the Program at the fixed exercise price (subject to any recalculation). Transfer shall take place during the time the participants have the right to exercise call options to acquire shares in accordance with the terms and conditions for the Program. The reason for deviation from the shareholders' preferential right at transfer of own shares is to enable Bufab to deliver shares in the Company to the participants of the Program.

Shares that have been acquired by the Company, and which are not transferred to participants in the Program may be transferred to participants in previous incentive programs or future incentive programs decided on by the General Meeting of the Company. Also such shares acquired by the Company within previous years' incentive programs may be transferred to participants in the Program, previous incentive programs or future incentive programs decided on by the General Meeting. Transfer shall take place in accordance with applicable rules for the current incentive program.

Dilution, costs and impact on important key ratios

The Program does not cause any dilution of the existing shareholders' share of the votes and capital in the Company since it is based on call options for shares already issued by the Company. The Program corresponds to approximately 0,6 per cent of the total number of shares and votes in the Company. Based on actual participation in the 2021, 2022 and 2023 incentive programs, these programs correspond, together with the Program proposed for the Annual General Meeting 2024, to a total of 1.2 per cent of the total number of shares and votes in the Company.

The costs of the Program consist of the subsidy that during June 2027 may be paid as per the above, the social security charges payable on this subsidy and the financing costs for repurchased shares. The total cost has been estimated to approximately MSEK 20 after corporation tax over the duration of the Program. To be compared with the subsidy, the option premium which the Company will receive on transfer of the call options corresponds to a total of approximately MSEK 19.

During its duration, the Program will impact the key ratio earnings per share positively through the Company's repurchase of shares and negatively because of the Company's transfer of the repurchased shares to the participants in the Program. The net effect on the key ratio earnings per share will be maximum 0.6% during the duration of the Program. The cost for the Company' s repurchase of own shares is estimated to amount to approximately MSEK 84 and will affect the cash flow, liquidity and equity in connection with the repurchase during the duration of the Program. After the duration of the Program, the above effects are expected to be neutralised. The Program is considered to only result in immaterial impact on other important key ratios.

Reason for the Program and its preparation

Since 2017, the Company has, after a resolution by the Annual General Meeting each year, implemented a yearly recurring long-term incentive program comprising call options, on terms and conditions in all material aspects corresponding to the proposed Program. In the Board of Directors' assessment, the previously resolved incentive programs have so far fulfilled their purposes. Therefore, the Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting 2024 resolves on a corresponding incentive program. The reason for implementing the Program is that key employees within the Bufab group should be able to benefit from and strive for, through their own investment, an increase in the price of the Company's shares, thus more closely aligning the interests of key employees and the Company's shareholders. The purposes of the Program is also to contribute towards key employees increasing their long-term shareholding in Bufab. The Program is also expected to create conditions for retaining and recruiting competent personnel for the Bufab group, to provide competitive remuneration and to align the interest of the executive management and shareholders. The Board of Directors considers that the Program is reasonable in scope and cost effective. The key employees included in the Program is the group of persons that, in an otherwise heavily decentralised organisation, can create positive effects for the Bufab group. On the basis of this, the Board of Directors believes that the Program has a positive effect on the continued development of the Bufab group, and that the Program benefits both the shareholders and the Company.

The proposal for the Program has been prepared by the Company's Remuneration Committee in consultation with the Board of Directors of the Company. The Company's management has not been involved in the preparation. The resolution to propose the Program to the Annual General Meeting has been taken by the Board of Directors. Members of the Board of the Company are not included in the Program.

Majority requirement

The Board of Directors' proposal pursuant to items 19 (A) – (C) above shall be resolved on as one resolution with application of the majority rules in Chapter 16 of the Swedish Companies Act, meaning that shareholders representing at least nine-tenths of both the votes cast and shares represented at the meeting must support the resolution.

Resolution on authorisation to transfer shares in the Company (item 21)

The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorises the Board of Directors to, on one or more occasions during the period up until the next Annual General Meeting, resolve upon transfer of the Company's own shares according to the following terms.

• The maximum number of shares to be transferred may not exceed the number of own shares held by the Company at the time of the Board of Directors' resolution, provided that the Company always holds such a number of shares that the Company needs to ensure delivery of shares under the Company's ongoing call option-based incentive programs (including any recalculation).
• Transfer of the Company's own shares may only take place on Nasdaq Stockholm at a price within the share price interval registered at each point in time, meaning the interval between the highest purchase price and the lowest selling price.

The purpose of the authorisation is to enable the Company to transfer such shares that the Company has repurchased in order to ensure delivery of shares within the framework of one of the Company's call option-based incentive programs, but which, partly as a result of the structure of the incentive programs, have not been used for delivery of shares to participants in such incentive programs.

The resolution by the meeting requires the support of shareholders representing at least two thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.

E. NUMBER OF SHARES AND VOTES IN THE COMPANY

At the time of the issue of this convening notice, the total number of shares in the Company amounts to 38,110,533 shares corresponding to 38,110,533 votes in total. Of these shares, 222,653 are held in treasury and may not be represented at the Annual General Meeting.
