The Nomination committee proposes to the Annual General Meeting to decide:
The Board proposes guidelines mainly entailing that the company offer total compensation on par with market levels so that the company can recruit and keep qualified senior officers. Remuneration to senior officers will consist of a basic wage, variable remuneration, other benefits and a pension. The basic wage will take into consideration the individual's responsibility and experience. The division between basic wage and variable remuneration will be in proportion to the officer's responsibility and authority. The variable remuneration will be based on results in relationship to individual targets. Variable remuneration for the CEO may amount to, at most, 50 percent of the basic wage. For other senior officers variable remuneration may amount to, at most, 40 percent of the basic wage. The guidelines correspond in all material respects to the principles applied to date

An additional cash purchase price of no more than MEUR 0.4 annually for two years may be paid, provided that fotokasten and d|o|m achieve a certain result. The acquisitions are conditional on a decision for the new share issue of compensation shares by the General Meeting of Elanders and that the necessary approval from the Competition Authority in Germany is obtained. For further information please see Elanders' press release 12 March 2012.
