Conclusion of the meeting.
For the 2017 financial year, the Board proposes a dividend to shareholders of SEK 6.00 (5.50) per share. The payment date is Thursday, April 26 2018 and the record date for the dividend is Monday, April 23 2018.
The Nomination Committee has the following proposals:
Johan Hjertonsson (1968), B.Sc. (Econ.) is the elected CEO of Latour starting September 1, 2019. He is today CEO of AB Fagerhult. Previously he has been the CEO of Lammhults Design Group AB, and has had a number of different leading positions in the Electrolux Group within marketing and product development. Johan is today a board member of AB Fagerhult, Sweco AB and Nord-Lock International AB.
The Board proposes that essentially the same principles that were adopted at the 2017 Annual General Meeting are also applied to 2018. The guidelines entail that a fixed salary is paid for satisfactory work. In addition, there is the opportunity for variable compensation linked to the Company's earnings and capital tied up. The variable compensation can amount to a maximum of 30-50 per cent of the annual salary depending on the individual's position of employment with the Company.
The CEO's pension plan is a defined contribution plan with an annual premium equivalent to 35 per cent of the annual basic salary. For other senior executives, pension payments are in accordance with the contractual collective ITP plan, except for two executives for whom pension contributions are made at 8 x the base amount per year and a maximum of 30% of basic salary respectively.
If the CEO tenders his resignation, a 6-month period of notice will apply. If the company terminate the CEO's employment, the CEO will be entitled to a sum equivalent to 18-24 monthly salaries (the last six months with reservation for new employment). For other senior executives, a maximum period of notice of twelve months applies for termination by the Company and six months for resignation by executives. No agreements exist between Board members or senior executives and Nederman or any of its subsidiaries in regard to benefits after the end of their terms or positions of employment. Nederman's corporate management currently consists of seven persons (including the CEO).
The guidelines do not cover remuneration under such incentive programs as from time to time may be specifically determined by the General Meeting of Shareholders.
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting decides to acquire and transfer respectively the Company's own shares in accordance with that stated below.
The Board believes that situation may arise during the period until the next Annual General Meeting when there will be a need to repurchase shares and to transfer them. For instance, this may arise in the context of industrial acquisitions and other structural developments of the operations of the Nederman Group.
The Board proposes that the AGM authorise the Board to decide, on one or more occasions during the period until the 2019 AGM, to acquire the Company's own shares as follows:
The Board proposes that the AGM authorise the Board to decide, on one or more occasions during the period until the 2019 AGM, to transfer the Company's own shares as follows:
The purpose of the authorisations and the reason for the deviation from shareholders' preferential rights is to create a readiness for the Board to fully or partially finance industrial acquisitions with the Company's own shares and to allow other structural development of the operations of the Nederman Group.
The Board's proposed decision under items 15 requires approval of shareholders representing at least two thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the AGM.
The Board of Nederman Holding Aktiebolag proposes, with the purpose to facilitate the trade in the company's shares at Nasdaq Stockholm, that the Annual General Meeting 2018 resolves on a share split as follows:
(i) to increase the number of shares in the company by dividing every share into three (3) shares (Sw. aktiesplit 3:1),
The share split will result in an increase of shares in the company from 11,715,340 to 35,146,020. The proposed share split will result in a change of the share's par value from SEK 0.1 to SEK 0.03.
Shareholders have the right to certain information at the Annual General Meeting. The Board and the CEO shall, if any shareholder so requests and the Board believes that it can be done without material harm to the Company, provide information regarding circumstances that may affect the assessment of a matter on the agenda, circumstances that may affect the assessment of the Company's or subsidiaries' financial situation, and the Company's relationship to other group companies.
The Nomination Committee's proposal and reasoned opinion along with information about all Board members who are proposed to the Board of Directors of the Company will be available on the Company's website www.nedermangroup.com. The Board of Directors' complete proposal for decision, annual report and audit report and the auditor's opinion on whether the AGM's guidelines for remuneration to senior executives have been complied with will be available from the Company and on the Company's website no later than 29 March 2018 and sent to shareholders who so request.
At the time of this notice, the total number of shares and votes in the Company amounted to 11,715,340. The Company's holding of its own shares totals 19,089, which does not give any entitlement to vote as long as the Company holds the shares.
