Item 16 – Resolution on principles for compensation and other conditions of employment of the company management
The Board of Directors' proposal for principles of compensation and other employment terms of the company management is, in summary, that the compensation shall be competitive on the local market in order to attract, motivate and retain highly skilled employees. Individual remuneration shall be based on the employee's experience, competence, responsibility and performance.
Total remuneration shall be based on four main components; base salary, variable salary, pension benefits and long term incentive programs.
Variable salary shall be in line with local market conditions and shall reward growth, earnings of the business and have a uniting effect for the group. It should also be based on predetermined measurable targets. There shall be a maximum limit for the variable salary, normally not more than 50 per cent of the base salary.
The Board of Director's view is that long term incentive programs form an essential part of the long term remuneration strategy. Share and share price related incentive programs shall be approved by a General Meeting.
Matters regarding the terms of employment for the Managing Director will be decided upon by the Board of Directors. The Managing Director decides upon the terms of employment for the other company management, after approval from the remuneration committee.
The Board of Directors or the remuneration committee may deviate from these principles if special reasons are at hand in an individual case.
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorises the Board of Directors, until the next Annual General Meeting, on one or several occasions, with or without deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, to resolve on new issues of shares, warrants and/or convertibles. The authorisation shall also include the right to resolve on new issues where the shares, warrants or convertibles are to be paid for with non-cash consideration, through set-off or otherwise with conditions pursuant to the Swedish Companies Act.
Cash or offset issues deviating from shareholders' preferential rights must take place on market terms.
The reason for the proposal and the possibility of deviating from the shareholders' preferential rights is to allow for flexibility in connection with any acquisitions or capital procurements.
A valid resolution requires approval of shareholders representing not less than two thirds of the votes cast as well as the shares represented at the Meeting.
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorises the Board of Directors, until the next Annual General Meeting, on one or several occasions, to resolve on the acquisition of a maximum number of own shares so that, after the purchase, the company holds not more than ten per cent of the total number of shares in the company. Such shares shall be purchased on Nasdaq Stockholm at a price that is within the registered price interval (spread) at any given time, meaning the interval between the highest bid price and the lowest ask price, and in other respects in accordance with the rules of Nasdaq Stockholm at any given time. The purpose of the repurchase of own shares is firstly to align the company's capital structure to the company's capital requirements and, where appropriate, to enable share transfers in conjunction with the financing of company acquisitions and other types of strategic investments and acquisitions.
A valid resolution requires approval of shareholders representing not less than two thirds of the votes cast as well as the shares represented at the Meeting.
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorises the Board of Directors, until the next Annual General Meeting, on one or several occasions, to resolve on the transfer of shares in the company. The shares may only be transferred in conjunction with the financing of company acquisitions and other types of strategic investments and acquisitions, and the transfers may not exceed the maximum number of treasury shares held by the company at
any given time. Transfer of own shares shall be made either on Nasdaq Stockholm or in another manner.
In conjunction with the acquisition of companies or operations, transfer of own shares may be made with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights and at a price that is within the so-called spread (as defined under item 18 above) at the time of the decision regarding the transfer and in accordance with the rules of Nasdaq Stockholm at any given time. Payment for shares transferred in this manner may be made in cash or through a non-cash issue or offsetting of claims against the company, or on other specific terms.
The reason for the proposal and the possibility of deviating from the shareholders' preferential rights is, where appropriate, to be able to transfer shares in conjunction with the financing of any company acquisitions and other types of strategic investments and acquisitions in a costefficient manner.
A valid resolution requires approval of shareholders representing not less than two thirds of the votes cast as well as the shares represented at the Meeting.
The nomination committee proposes that the nomination committee, ahead of the Annual General Meeting 2017, shall be composed of representatives of the three largest shareholders, as per the last banking day in August, listed in the company's share register kept by Euroclear Sweden AB as well as the chairman of the Board of Directors. The chairman of the Board of Directors shall convene the first meeting of the nomination committee. The representative representing the largest shareholder shall be appointed as chairman of the nomination committee. If any of the largest shareholders do not wish to appoint a representative to the nomination committee, the largest shareholders in turn shall be contacted. If any of the shareholders in turn refrain from appointing a representative to the nomination committee, the chairman of the Board of Directors will only need to contact the eight largest shareholders in order to obtain a nomination committee composed of at least three representatives including the chairman of the Board of Directors. If a nomination committee composed of three members (including the chairman) is not obtained after having contacted the eight largest shareholders, the chairman shall continue to contact the shareholders that are next in turn until a nomination committee composed of three representatives (including the chairman) has been obtained.
If earlier than two months prior to the Annual General Meeting, a shareholder having appointed a representative to the nomination committee no longer is among the largest shareholders, the representative appointed by such shareholder shall resign and the new shareholder who at such time is among the largest shareholders may appoint a representative. Should a representative of the nomination committee before the committee's work is completed and the nomination committee considers it necessary to replace the representative, the shareholder that appointed the resigning representative shall have the right to appoint a new representative, or if the shareholder no longer is among the largest shareholders, the largest shareholder in turn shall have such right. Changes to the composition of the nomination committee shall be announced immediately. The term the "largest shareholders" above refers to such number of the largest shareholders which the chairman of the Board of Directors has contacted in order to obtain a nomination committee in accordance with procedure described in the above paragraph.
The nomination committee's composition ahead of the Annual General Meeting 2017 will be published six months before the General Meeting, at the latest. The representatives of the Nomination Committee shall not receive any remuneration.
The nomination committee shall draw up proposals, on the issues mentioned below, for presentation to and decision by the Annual General Meeting 2017:
The Annual Accounts, the auditor's report and complete proposals and other documents according to the Swedish Companies Act will, no later than from Tuesday 12 April 2016, be made available at the company's head office and at the company's website: www.tradedoubler.com.
