Information on the persons proposed by the Nomination Committee as directors is available on Eniro's website: www.enirogroup.com.
The Nomination Committee proposes, in accordance with the recommendation from the Audit Committee, re-election of the accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers AB as auditor for the period until the end of the 2020 AGM. PricewaterhouseCoopers has notified the Company that Michael Bengtsson will be appointed as chief auditor if the AGM resolves in favor of the proposal.
The Board of Directors proposes that the 2019 AGM resolve to adopt the following guidelines for remuneration of senior executives for the time until the 2020 AGM.
The proposal is mainly in accordance with the guidelines adopted at the AGM 2018.
The guidelines are applicable for the CEO and other members in the Group management (currently four persons).
The objective is that Eniro shall offer compensation in line with the going rate in the market consisting of a fixed base salary, any variable cash salary, and pension provisions and other remuneration and benefits. The 2016 AGM resolved in favor of a long-term share-based incentive program consisting of warrants (2016/2019).
The fixed base salary is based on the individual executive's responsibilities, competence and experience. Variable salary shall continue to be limited. Any variable cash salary targets shall be set by the Board of Directors starting on January 1, 2019, and shall be based on the outcome in relation to defined and measurable targets – both joint and individual – and shall be capped in relation to the executive's base salary. Any variable cash salary shall be capped at a maximum of 40 percent of the base salary. No variable cash salary is for the moment payable to the CEO and other senior executives. The Board of Directors sets any variable cash salary based on annual evaluations of the individual executive's achievement of the set targets. Payment of any variable salary component shall be conditional upon the long-term, sustainable achievement of the underlying targets. The company shall retain the right to demand reimbursement of variable salary if the award has been based on information that later proves to be manifestly incorrect.
Eniro's pension policy is based on either an individual occupation pension plan or a defined contribution pension plan, at a maximum of 35 percent of fixed salary.
Upon termination of employment at the Company's initiative, a notice period of normally six months applies, but a notice period of a maximum of 12 months applies, and no severance pay is payable. In the event of a termination by the employee; a notice period of normally six months applies. For the CEO of the Company, Örjan Frid, a mutual notice period of six months applies, and no severance pay is payable.
Other remuneration and benefits, such as a company car and disability insurance, shall be on market terms.
The Board of Directors may depart from these guidelines in individual cases if special reasons exist.
The guidelines approved by the 2018 AGM have been adhered to.
The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves on a reduction of the Company´s share capital as follows:
The Board of Directors proposals for decisions under this point 19 a) - b) requires that the AGM has first decided to reduce the share capital in accordance with the Board of Directors proposal under point 19 on the agenda. The Board of Directors' proposal for decisions under points a) - b) below is conditional on each other and the resolution in accordance with paragraphs a) - b) shall be adopted as a decision.
In order to enable the reduction of the Company´s share capital according to point 19 b) below, the Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves to amend the limits in the Articles of Association as below, and to make minor language adjustments in §§ 1, 9 and in § 14.
| Current wording § 4 (first paragraph): | Proposed wording § 4 (first paragraph): |
|---|---|
| "The share capital shall amount to not less than 450,000,000 SEK and not more than 1,800,000,000 SEK." |
" The share capital shall amount to not less than 50,000,000 SEK and not more than 200,000,000 SEK." |
| Current wording § 5: "The number of shares shall amount to at least 25,000,000 shares and not more than 100,000,000 shares." |
Proposed wording § 5: "The number of shares shall amount to at least 60,000,000 shares and not more than 240,000,000 shares." |
The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolves on a reduction of the Company´s share capital as follows:
The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM authorize the Board of Directors to decide on the acquisition of the Company's treasury shares during the period before the next AGM in accordance with the following conditions:
The purpose of the repurchase is to give the Board of Directors an increased scope for action in creating a purposeful capital structure. The authorization may only be exercised if the Company issues shares at the same time as the repurchase shares corresponding to the amount paid for the repurchased shares.
The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM resolve in favor of authorizing the Board of Directors to, with or without deviation from the shareholders' preferential right to, on one or more occasions during the time until the next AGM, decide on new issues of ordinary shares in the Company. A new issue decided upon pursuant to this authorization that is carried out with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights may be made with a maximum number of ordinary shares that corresponds to thirty (30) percent of the total number of ordinary shares in issue in the Company at the time this authorization was first used. It shall be possible to subscribe for the newly issued shares through payment in cash, in kind, with set-off rights or on terms stipulated in Ch. 2 § 5 of the Swedish Companies Act. A new issue decided pursuant to this authorization that is carried out with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights shall be made at the market subscription price, with reservation for a market-based issue discount for directed new issues. For a new issue carried out with preferential rights for the Company's shareholders, the subscription price may be set at a lower amount than the share's market value. The purpose of this authorization and the reason for any deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights is that it shall be possible to carry out new issues to strengthen the Company's shareholders' equity. The CEO, or person designated by the Board of Directors, shall be entitled to make the minor adjustments to the resolution that may be necessary in
connection with registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office, including, where applicable, transferring funds to the Company's restricted shareholders' equity.
Resolutions in favor of points 18, 19, 20 and 21 are valid only if they have the support of shareholders with a least two-thirds of the votes cast as well as of the shares represented at the AGM.
The total number of shares in the Company on the day this notice was issued was 66,832,187 of which 66,573,410 were ordinary shares of Class A with one vote each, and 258,777 preference shares, with one-tenth of a vote each, corresponding to a total of 66,599,287.7 votes. The Company´s treasury shares on the same date amount to 17,037 ordinary shares Class A, corresponding to an equal number of votes, and 3,368 preference shares, with one-tenth of vote each, which cannot be represented at the AGM.
The Board of Directors and the CEO shall, if any shareholder requests and if the Board of Directors is of the opinion that it can be done without causing material harm to the Company, provide disclosures about conditions that may influence an assessment of an item of business on the agenda, conditions that may influence an assessment of the Company's or a subsidiary's financial situation, and the Company's relationship to other Group companies.
The Board of Directors' and Nomination Committee's proposals and other documents that are to be kept on hand pursuant to the Swedish Companies Act and the Swedish Corporate Governance Code will be available from the Company, at Kistagången 12, in Kista, and on the Company's website, www.enirogroup.com, not later than three weeks before the AGM and will be sent upon request to shareholders who have provided their postal address.
