THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS' PROPOSAL FOR A DECISION ON AUTHORIZATION REGARDING THE NEW ISSUE OF SHARES
The board of DORO AB (publ), registration no. 556161–9429, (the Company) proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to authorize the board to, on one or more occasions before the next annual general meeting, with or without deviating from the shareholders' pre-emptive rights, decide on a new issue of shares to a number that in total does not exceed 10% of the total number of outstanding shares in the Company. The company's restriction, to own no more than 10% of the total number of outstanding shares in the company at any time, also applies to shares that the company receives through a possible new issue.
The board shall have the right to decide that the new issue shall take place against cash payment and/or the provision referred to in ch. 13. Section 5, first paragraph, point 6 of the Swedish Companies Act (contribution, set-off or other conditions). The purpose of the authorization is to give the board flexibility in the work of ensuring that the Company can provide capital for business and business acquisitions in an appropriate manner. The authorization must also enable the board to make decisions about targeted new issues/issues to a potential owner of an acquisition object or to a new investor.
The CEO is proposed to be authorized to make the minor adjustments in this decision that may be necessary in connection with registration at the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
For decisions in accordance with the board's proposal, the decision must be supported by shareholders with at least two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the annual general meeting.

The purpose of the proposed authorization to repurchase is to provide the board with an increased flexibility in working with the company's capital structure. Repurchasing also provides the Company with an option to use repurchased shares as payment for future acquisitions as well as a tool for the board in optimizing the company's capital structure, if that is considered, at the time, to be the best use of the company's available cash. In addition, the board is also authorized to repurchase shares with the purpose of at a later stage

distributing these to one or more purchasers who are not previous shareholders of the Company. A resolution in accordance with the proposal shall only be valid where supported by not less than twothirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the annual general meeting.

The authorization may be utilized on one or several occasions, until the annual general meeting in 2024.
It can be noted that Information about how many shares the Company holds at the time of the annual general meeting will be reported at the annual general meeting.
The purpose of the authorization is to enable acquisition financing through the use of own shares.
Transfer of own shares within the framework of incentive programs introduced by the Company shall be carried out with the support of the annual general meeting's decision regarding each such incentive program and thus do not fall within the proposed authorization.
If a transfer is not made as described above, the Company shall have the right to decide on redemption of the shares by reducing the company's share capital without repayment to the shareholders.
A resolution in accordance with the proposal shall only be valid where supported by not less than two thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the annual general meeting.
THE BOARD'S PROPOSAL REGARDING REMUNERATION GUIDELINES FOR THE GROUP MANAGEMENT.
Doro Group shall strive to offer a total remuneration which will enable the group to attract, retain and motivate high performing senior executives needed to maintain and improve the success of the business and support the journey of becoming the leading technology brand for seniors.

The remuneration to senior executives and employees in Doro Group shall reflect the individual's performance, behavior and responsibilities. When assessing a senior executive's performance and employees against pre-determined set of well-defined goals (both individual, departmental and group) Doro applies a structured performance management process combining not only 'what' is delivered but also 'how' it is delivered i.e., performance and behavior.
Remuneration decisions should only be made based on the guidelines outlined in policies and instructions. Discrimination related to factors like race, gender, age, religion or ethnic affiliation are under no circumstances allowed.
The remuneration to the senior executives and employees normally consists of:
Fixed Base Salary shall consist of a fixed annual salary which should remunerate for the role and position and is impacted by job complexity, responsibility, performance and local market conditions and to what extent it contributes to reaching the business objectives. As the fixed salary shall reflect the performance of the senior executive it is individual and differentiated.
Short-term variable remuneration shall be based on the achievement of predetermined set targets and the variable remuneration shall have a predetermined ceiling. The result must be linked to measurable goals. No compensation can be paid if there is no clear connection to the goals being achieved.
A short-term program with variable pay aims to ensure the company's long-term sustainability and a maximum cost including social charges for variable remuneration may not exceed the fixed remuneration to the company's senior executives.
Long-term incentive plans may be introduced for some of its employees to create confidence in and commitment to the Group's long-term financial performance. Set up of long term incentive plan is proposed by the Board and decided upon in the Annual General Meeting.
Pension and other customary benefits aim at ensuring senior executives and employees an appropriate standard of living after retirement as well as personal insurance during employment. Pension and insurance provisions are in accordance with local laws, regulations and market practice either collectively agreed schemes or company determined schemes, or a combination thereof.
Other benefits shall be customary and facilitate that the senior executives and employees can carry out their duties, for example a company car in accordance with Company Car Policy, health care and health care insurance.
Notice of termination and severance pay
The maximum notice period in any senior executive's contract is generally 6 months, and for CEO twelve months, during which time salary payment will continue.

Employees' notice of termination will follow local laws or collective agreements where applicable. Severance pay should not transcend the equivalence of the employee's notice period.
The annual report and the complete proposals and statements of the board in accordance with the Swedish Companies Act, including auditor's statements, will be held available at the company's office at the address above and on its website no later than three (3) weeks before the annual general meeting.
