Proposal for guidelines for remuneration to senior executives (item 14)

The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves on guidelines for remuneration to the managing director and other senior executives in the main meaning as follows: The remuneration shall consist of a basic remuneration, a variable remuneration, other benefits and pension. By other senior executives is meant members of the group management. The total remuneration shall be in accordance with the market practice and competitive. The variable part of the salary shall be maximised in relation to the basic remuneration, related to the earnings trend on which the individual may have an impact and based on the outcome in proportion to targets set up individually. The variable remuneration shall not qualify for pension. Each year the Board of Directors shall consider to recommend the Annual General Meeting to resolve on a share or share rate related incentive program. The notice period shall normally be six months on the part of the employee. At notice of termination by the company, the notice period and the period during which severance payment is paid, all in all, shall not exceed 24 months. Pension benefits shall either be benefit or fee based, or a combination of both, with an individual pension age, however, not lower than 60 years. The guidelines shall apply to employment agreements entered into after the resolution of the Annual General Meeting, and to any amendments of existing agreements. The Board of Directors shall have the right to deviate from the guidelines if, in an individual case, there are particular reasons for this.

Proposal for an issue in kind (item 15)

When Hexagon acquired Leica Geosystems Holding AG ("Leica") in October 2005 there were approx. 90,000 outstanding options awarded employees within the former Leica Group due to incentive programs. Each option entitled the holder to subscribe for the equal number of new shares in Leica at a pre-determined subscription price. After Hexagons acquisition of Leica the incentive

programs have been modified so that one option entitles to the same consideration as applied in the bid for Leica. Thereafter, Leica was merged with its previously wholly-owned subsidiary Leica Geosystems AG, whereupon the option terms were again modified in a way that one option entitled to the same consideration as in the bid for Leica, i.e. CHF 440 plus five (5) B shares in Hexagon, against a transfer to Hexagon of one share in Leica Geosystems AG issued due to the option, and a cash consideration as compensation for the dilution arising as a consequence of the during spring 2006 accomplished new share issue in Hexagon. After the execution of the bonus issue and split 3:1 of the company's shares, resolved at the Annual General Meeting 2007 and last year's distribution of shares in Hexpol AB, an option now entitles to an adjusted cash payment of CHF 473.80 plus fifteen (15) shares of series B in Hexagon. Hexagon has reserved the right to pay a cash consideration corresponding to the established value of fifteen (15) B shares in Hexagon at the respective time of the exercise of the options. At present there are 3,340 outstanding options.

The essence of the Board's proposal is:

• that the share capital of the company shall be increased by maximum SEK 100,200 by a new issue of not more than 50,100 shares of series B;
• that the right to subscribe for the new shares shall be granted to holders of options in Leica Geosystems AG or a bank engaged by Leica Geosystems AG in order to secure an appropriate handling and transfer of B shares in Hexagon to the option holders;
• that subscription for the new shares shall take place no later than 19 May 2010, or such later date as decided by the Board of Directors;
• that payment for the new shares shall be made no later than 19 May 2010, or such later date as decided by the Board of Directors, by transfer of shares in Leica Geosystems AG issued on the basis of outstanding options (contribution in kind); and
• that the new shares shall entitle to dividend decided from the financial year 2011, i.e. also for the financial year 2010.

Considering that the entitled option holders according to the above are employed in the Hexagon Group, the proposal of the Board of Directors is subject to the resolution of the Annual General Meeting being supported by shareholders representing at least nine-tenths of the votes cast as well as the number of shares represented at the Meeting in accordance with the provisions in Chapter 16, Section 8 of the Companies Act (2005:551).

Proposal for transfer of own shares (item 16)

The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves on the transfer of the company's own shares of series B, in order to, as a supplementary alternative to the issue in kind pursuant to item 15, enable the providing of shares to the option holders in Leica Geosystems AG as referred to above. The transfer shall take place pursuant to the following principal conditions. The option holders in Leica Geosystems AG, as referred to above, shall have the preferential right to acquire shares, with the entitlement for each of them to acquire a maximum of fifteen (15) shares of series B per owned option. As a consequence hereof, the maximum number of shares that are allowed to be transferred is 50,100 shares of series B. The option holders shall be entitled to acquire shares until 19 May 2010 at the latest. Payment shall be made not later than by 19 May 2010 through transfer of shares in Leica Geosystems AG issued on the basis of outstanding options. Considering that the entitled option holders according to the above are employed in the Hexagon Group, the proposal of the Board of Directors is subject to the resolution of the Annual General Meeting being supported by shareholders representing at least nine-tenths of the votes cast as well as the number of shares represented at the Meeting in accordance with the provisions in Chapter 16, Section 8 of the Companies Act (2005:551).

Proposal for authorisation of the Board of Directors to resolve on the acquisition and transfer of the company's own shares (item 17)

The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to authorise the Board of Directors, until the next annual general meeting, on one or several occasions, to resolve on the acquisition and transfer of the company's own shares. Acquisition shall be made of a maximum of so many shares that the shareholding of the company from time to time does not exceed ten (10) per cent of all the shares in the company. Acquisitions may be made on the NASDAQ OMX Stockholm at the stock-exchange quotation applicable at the time of acquisition. Transfer may be made of a maximum of so many shares which from time to time correspond to ten (10) per cent of all the shares in the company. Transfer may take place with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights at the NASDAQ OMX Stockholm as well as to a third party in connection with the acquisition of a company or business. Payment for shares transferred shall be made in cash, by contribution in kind or by set-off. Transfer in connection with the acquisition of a company may take place at a market value appraised by the Board of Directors. The purpose of the authorisation is to give the Board of Directors the opportunity to adjust the company's capital structure and to finance acquisitions by utilisation of the company's own shares.

The authorisation for repurchase also aims at making it possible for the company to utilise repurchased own shares in order to cover the company's future undertakings to deliver shares in accordance with the warrants programme resolved upon by the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 14 December 2007, whereby the Extraordinary General Meeting also resolved that the company, in connection with a possible demand for redemption of the warrants, with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, may transfer a total maximum of 2,500,000 repurchased own shares in the company for a price corresponding to the exercise price for new shares determined in connection with the allotment of the warrants or according to applicable terms and conditions for re-calculation.

Resolution according to this item shall be supported by shareholders representing at least twothirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the Meeting in order to be valid.
