The Nomination Committee and the Board of Directors have respectively presented the following motions.

record date for the second payment of SEK 4.50 with payment occurring on November 12, 2025.
It is proposed that fees be paid to members of the Audit Committee in the amount of SEK 180,000 (2024: SEK 175,000) to the Chair of the Committee and SEK 130,000 (2024: SEK 125,000) to each other Member.
It is proposed that fees be paid to members of the Project Committee in the amount of SEK 129,500 (2024: SEK 125,000) to the Chair of the Committee and SEK 103,500 (2024: SEK 100,000) to other Member.
It is also proposed that fees be paid to members of the Compensation and Competence Committee in the amount of SEK 103,500 (2024: SEK 100,000) to the Chair of the Committee and SEK 51,750 (2024: SEK 50,000) to each other Member.
The Auditors will be remunerated in return for approved invoices.
The guidelines encompass the CEO and other members of Group Management, currently totaling 12 people. The guidelines are applicable to remuneration agreed, and amendments to remuneration already agreed, after adoption of the guidelines by the 2025 AGM. These guidelines do not apply to any remuneration resolved or approved by the AGM.
NCC is one of the leading construction companies in the Nordics. Based on its expertise in managing complex construction processes, NCC contributes to the positive impact of construction for its customers and society. Operations include commercial property development, building and infrastructure project contracting,

and asphalt and stone materials production. The Company is working toward creating a common basis for a long-term, sustainable improvement in profitability throughout NCC. NCC is striving to create safe and secure worksites for the Group's employees and subcontractors, and to improve the climate and environment by reducing carbon emissions.
A prerequisite for the successful implementation of the Company's business strategy and safeguarding of its long-term interests, including its sustainability, is that the Company is able to recruit and retain qualified personnel. To this end, it is necessary that the Company offers competitive remuneration. These guidelines enable the Company to offer executive management competitive total remuneration.
Long-term share-based incentive programs that are performance-based have been established in the Company.
The programs encompass Group Management and other senior executives and key personnel within the NCC Group, currently approximately 200 persons. These are three-year programs and have a distinct link to the business strategy and thus to the Company's long-term value creation, including its sustainability.
No new LTI program was started at the 2022 AGM for the period 2022–2024.
For LTI 2023 and LTI 2024, the targets consist of EPS for each year of the period separately, a smaller component relating to a reduction in the Group's carbon emissions for Scope 1 and 2, as well as a reduction in the number of work-related accidents. For more information on the programs, and the criteria upon which outcomes are dependent, refer to Note 4 in the Company's Annual and Sustainability Report.
A new program, LTI 2025, which is essentially similar to LTI 2023 and LTI 2024, will be proposed to the 2025 AGM.
The remuneration shall be on market terms and may consist of the following components: fixed cash remuneration, variable cash remuneration, pension benefits and other benefits. The AGM may also – regardless of these guidelines – adopt remuneration based on, for example, share and share-price-related incentive schemes.
When determining the fixed salary, the individual executive's sphere of responsibility, experience and achieved results are to be taken into account. The fixed salary is reviewed annually, but with the possibility to review for a period of two years at most.
The short-term variable remuneration must be capped and related to the fixed salary, and be based on the outcome in relation to established targets, which are measured annually.
The reason for paying variable remuneration is to motivate and reward valuegenerating activities that support achievement of NCC's long-term business strategy and interests. The criteria for paying variable cash remuneration thus essentially comply with the Group's long-term operational and financial objectives.
The variable cash remuneration is primarily based on financial objectives (EBIT/EPS). In addition, a smaller portion may be based on adapted functional

targets or operational targets, and for BA managers on LTIF4 (meaning work-related accidents resulting in more than four calendar days of absence per million hours worked by NCC's employees).
To which extent the criteria for awarding variable cash remuneration has been satisfied is evaluated/determined when the measurement period has ended. The Board of Directors, through the Compensation and Competence Committee, is responsible for assessing the variable cash remuneration paid to the CEO and other senior executives. The assessment of the financial objectives is based on the annual report. The outcome in relation to established targets for variable remuneration is measured after the performance period; meaning following fiscal year-end.
The short-term variable remuneration for the CEO is capped at 80 percent of fixed salary. For other members of Group Management, it is capped at 42.5 or 55 percent of fixed salary. The short-term variable remuneration is to be revised annually.
A maximum of 25 percent of the outcome of the short-term variable remuneration (before tax) can be invested in shares in the Company. If the shares are held for a period of at least 12 months, a premium of up to 25 percent of the investment amount may be paid.
It is estimated that full utilization of the Company's commitments for short-term variable remuneration in relation to the executives concerned will cost the company a maximum of approximately SEK 39 M, including social security fees.
The short-term variable remuneration is pensionable, with the exception of remuneration paid to the CEO.
NCC is endeavoring to move gradually toward defined-contribution solutions, which entail that NCC pays contributions that represent a specific percentage of the employee's salary. The CEO has a defined-contribution pension with a premium pledge capped at 42 percent of contractual fixed salary. Other members of Group Management who are active in Sweden and have an employment contract subject to Swedish terms and conditions, are entitled, in addition to the ITP 2 plan (the collectively bargained agreement on pensions for white collar workers), to also receive a defined-contribution supplementary pension capped at 30 percent of pensionable salary increments exceeding 30 income base amounts. The definition of pensionable salary as stipulated in ITP2 is to be used for this supplementary pension.
In other respects, variable salary and other benefits will not be pensionable unless this is a consequence of law or a collective agreement. Members of Group Management who have employment contracts under the terms and conditions of another country are covered by pension solutions in accordance with local practices, which must to the extent possible comply with the principles stated in these guidelines. ITP 1 is applied to new employment contracts where possible. The retirement age of Group Management is 65 years.
NCC provides other benefits, such as medical insurance and a car benefit, to members of Group Management. The combined amount of such benefits in relation to total remuneration may constitute only a limited value and correspond essentially to the benefits normally arising in the market, in total not more than 5 percent of annual cash salary.

A member of Group Management who terminates employment at NCC's initiative normally has a six-month period of notice and is entitled to severance pay corresponding to 12 months of fixed salary. During the said 12 months, the severance pay is deductible from remuneration received from a new employer. The period of notice is six months without any right to severance pay, when termination is made by a member of Group Management.
In the preparation of the Board of Directors' proposal for these remuneration guidelines, salary and employment conditions for employees of the Company have been taken into account by including information on the employees' total income, the components of the remuneration and the increase and growth rate over time, in the Board of Directors' basis of decision when evaluating whether the guidelines and the limitations set out herein are reasonable. The development of the CEO's remuneration, the remuneration of other employees and NCC's earnings over the past five years is presented in the Remuneration Report.
The Board has established a Compensation and Competence Committee. The duties of the Committee include preparing the Board's decisions concerning motions on guidelines for executive remuneration. Such a motion for new guidelines is to be prepared at least every fourth year and submitted by the Board to the AGM. The guidelines shall be in force until new guidelines are adopted by the AGM. The Committee is also mandated to monitor and evaluate variable remuneration programs for Group Management, the application of guidelines for executive remuneration and applicable remuneration structures and remuneration levels in the Company. The CEO and other members of Group Management do not participate in the Board of Directors' processing of and resolutions regarding remuneration-related matters in so far as they are themselves affected by such matters.
The Board of Directors may temporarily resolve to derogate from the guidelines, in whole or in part, if in a specific case there is special cause for the derogation and a derogation is necessary to serve the Company's long-term interests, including its sustainability, or to ensure the Company's financial viability.
The Board's motion concerning guidelines for executive remuneration corresponds to existing guidelines, with the exception of the possibility of investing in shares for the short-term variable remuneration, and the possibility of certain premiums based on the investment.
The work of the Chairman of the Board, who is also the Chairman of the Compensation and Competence Committee, is supported by the Company's Investor Relations and Legal Department to ensure good and continuous contact with shareholders at an appropriate level on matters related to executive remuneration.

Previous AGMs since 2012, with the exception of 2022, have resolved on long-term performance-based incentive programs for senior executives and key personnel within the NCC Group.
According to the Board of Directors, it is essential that key personnel in the NCC Group have an interest in the Company's long-term development and it therefore also proposes a long-term performance-based incentive program for the period 2025-2027 ("LTI 2025 share savings program").
The LTI 2025 share savings program is based on the same structure as the previous year's program, LTI 2024. As was also the case for LTI 2024, personal investment in NCC shares is a requirement for participation in the LTI 2025 share savings program. The Board is convinced that the LTI 2025 share savings program will benefit the Company's shareholders since it will create prerequisites for retaining and recruiting key personnel and will ensure a continued focus on the Company's long-term profitability, value growth and sustainability.
The Board's proposal pertain to item 20 A, motion on LTI 2025 share savings program and item 20 B, transfer of own Series B shares to participants in the program. Should the transfer of shares not be possible because the majority requirements under item 20 B are not attained, it is proposed that the participants instead be able to obtain Series B shares from a third party who has entered into a share-swap agreement with NCC in accordance with what is stated in the Board's motion under item 20 C.
The purposes of the LTI 2025 share savings program are to:
The program will run for three years and entail that the participants themselves invest in the Company's own shares, "savings shares". After the period expires, if and to the extent that the performance targets for the program have been met, each savings share will provide entitlement to the receipt of two to five "performance shares," according to the conditions and principles stated below.
The Board proposes that the AGM resolve to introduce the LTI 2025 share savings program, comprising at most 340,000 Series B NCC shares, which also include

shares that may be transferred to cover costs related to the program, according to the following principal conditions:

Assuming an average share price of SEK 180 at the date of acquisition and that all participants acquire the maximum number of shares, participants in each category could receive the number of shares shown in the table below:
| LTI 2025 share savings program (the table is an example based on certain assumptions) |
CEO | Other Group Manage ment |
Division Managers etc. |
Other key personnel |
Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of participants | 1 | 11 | 40 | 188 | 240 |
| Cap % of basic salary | 8.0% | 6.0% | 4.0% | 4.0% | |
| Maximum number of savings shares, average | 4,928 | 1,157 | 511 | 356 | |
| Maximum number of savings shares for the group | 4,928 | 12,727 | 20,433 | 66,939 | 105,024 |
| Allotment, number of performance shares per savings share |
5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | |
| Maximum number of performance shares in total for the group |
24,640 | 50,907 | 61,298 | 133,872 | 270,718 |
| Maximum number of shares to cover social security fees |
4,928 | 10,181 | 12,260 | 26,774 | 54,144 |
| Total maximum number of shares to be allotted/transferred by NCC |
324,862 |
Performance target 1 pertains to NCC's earnings per share (EPS) for 2025, 2026 and 2027. The allotment of performance shares will be based on the minimum and maximum target levels established by the Board for each year during the period. The outcome will be calculated annually, whereby one third of the performance shares will be measured against the outcome for 2025, one third will be measured against the outcome for 2026 and one third will be measured against the outcome for 2027: i.e. 30 percent of the total outcome of the program for each year.
In the opinion of the Board, the objectives will be well balanced. The target ranges will be communicated in conjunction with the 2028 AGM.
If the minimum level for the year in question is not achieved, no performance shares will be awarded. If the maximum target level for the year in question is achieved or exceeded, performance shares connected to performance target 1 will be awarded at a rate of 100 percent for that year, i.e. 30 percent of the total outcome. If the minimum level is exceeded but the maximum level is not achieved, allotment will occur linearly within the span.
NCC strives to eliminate emissions from the entire value chain, increase energy efficiency and enable adaptation to climate change. NCC's previous target was to achieve a 60-percent reduction in CO₂e (tons)/SEK M within Scopes 1 and 2 by 2030 compared with 2015. Scope 1 pertains to emissions related to fuel consumption in asphalt plants, and from own vehicles and machinery. Scope 2 pertains to emissions related to the production of electricity, district heating and district cooling used in the operations. At June 30, 2024, the emission intensity was 1.80 CO₂e (tons)/SEK M, which meant the target had been achieved.

Work to develop new targets has been ongoing in 2024, and NCC's new target is to achieve a 75-percent reduction in CO₂e (tons)/SEK M within Scopes 1 and 2 by 2030 compared with 2015.
At the end of 2024, the figure was 1.96 according to preliminary estimates (end of January 2025). A linear reduction from 1.96 in 2024 to 1.3 in 2030, would result in 1.63 at the end of 2027, and the Board is therefore proposing to set the target at 1.63 CO₂e (tons)/SEK M at the end of 2027.
If the target level is not achieved, no performance shares will be awarded. If the target level is achieved, performance shares connected to performance target 2 will be awarded at a rate of 100 percent.
NCC strives to reduce the number of accidents and completely eliminate serious accidents and incidents. This is measured through the metric of LTIF4, meaning work-related accidents resulting in more than four calendar days of absence per million hours worked by NCC's employees. At year-end 2024, LTIF4 amounted to 3.3.
The Board proposes that the target is that LTIF4 at the end of 2027 will not exceed 2.0.
If the target level is not achieved, no performance shares will be awarded. If the target level is achieved, performance shares connected to performance target 3 will be awarded at a rate of 100 percent.

The LTI 2025 share savings program will comprise a total of not more than 340,000 own Series B shares (including shares to cover social security fees), corresponding to about 0.34 percent (0.45*) of the total number of shares and about 0.21 percent (0.22*) of the number of voting rights in the Company.
The cost of the LTI 2025 share savings program will be based on the IFRS 2 accounting standard and be allocated over three years. Assuming a share price of SEK 180 at the date of acquisition and the maximum outcome, the cost for the LTI 2025 share savings program, including estimated costs for social security fees, will be about SEK 58.5 M (55.9* ). This corresponds to a value of approximately 0.34 percent (0.45*) of the total number of shares in the Company at December 31, 2024.
Assuming a positive share price trend of 10 percent during the term of the program, the cost will increase to SEK 64.3 M and, assuming a 20-percent rise, the cost will increase to SEK 70.2 M.
Given the above conditions and assumptions, the annual cost of LTI 2025, including social security fees, is estimated to amount to a maximum of approximately SEK 19.5 M** (18.6* ) This cost may be compared with NCC's total personnel costs, including social security fees, of SEK 12,042 M for 2024.
The maximum value that a participant may receive at allotment of Series B shares is limited to an amount per share that corresponds to 400 percent of the share price. The share price is calculated on the basis of the average last price paid for NCC Series B shares during a period of ten trading days immediately following the date of the 2025 AGM, a period when the share is traded ex-rights to dividends.
The costs and dilution are expected to have a marginal impact on NCC's key figures.
The free-of-charge transfer of a maximum of 280,000 performance shares to the participants in the LTI 2025 share savings program is estimated to correspond to dilution of earnings per share by not more than about 0.29 percent (the maximum number of shares that can be distributed through the program divided by the total number of shares, excluding the Company's treasury holding).
The LTI 2025 share savings program has been prepared and approved by the Compensation and Competence Committee and the Board of Directors. Neither the CEO nor other senior executives who may be encompassed by the LTI 2025 share savings program have participated in the Board of Directors' processing of and decisions concerning the motion.
To be able to deliver shares under the LTI 2025 share savings program, the Board proposes that the AGM vote to approve the transfer of own Series B shares in NCC based on the following terms and conditions.
*Refers to LTI 2024, which was adopted by the 2024 AGM.
**The cost of estimated target fulfillment will be charged against profit for the respective year.

Should it not be possible to gain the requisite majority for item 20 B above, the Board proposes that the AGM resolve to secure the anticipated financial exposure in respect of the LTI 2025 share savings program by permitting NCC to enter into share-swap agreements with a third party on normal market terms, whereby the third party will be able to acquire Series B NCC shares in its own name and transfer them to employees who participate in the LTI 2025 share savings program. The additional cost for such share handling may be estimated at between SEK 0.5 M and SEK 1 M.
The 2024 AGM resolved to establish the LTI 2024 share savings program and to secure the Company's commitments under the program through a share-swap agreement with a third party.
The Board is still of the opinion that the transfer of own shares, a proposal that was not approved by the 2024 AGM, is the most cost-effective method to secure the commitments under LTI 2024, and thereby beneficial for shareholders compared with a share-swap agreement with a third party.
The proposal for the LTI 2024 share savings program stated that the program could comprise a maximum of 450,000 shares, including shares intended to cover social security fees. The program has now started, and currently comprises a maximum of just under 300,000 shares, of which a maximum of 240,000 performance shares. This corresponds to approximately 0.31 percent of the total number of registered shares (excluding the treasury holding).
To be able to deliver shares under the LTI 2024 share savings program, the Board proposes that the AGM vote to approve the transfer of own Series B shares in NCC based on the following terms and conditions.

The Board proposes to the AGM that the Board be authorized, on one or several occasions during the period up to the next AGM, to make decisions on the repurchase of the Company's Series B shares up to an amount so that, at the given time following the acquisition, the Company holds a maximum of 10 percent of all shares in the Company. Purchases of shares are to be made on Nasdaq Stockholm at a price per share that is within the registered price interval for NCC's Series B share at any given time, meaning the interval between the highest buying price and the lowest selling price. However, for purchases that are made by a brokerage under assignment by the Company, the price of the shares may correspond to a volumeweighted average price during the period of time during which the shares were purchased, even if the volume-weighted average price on the day the shares were relinquished to the Company is outside the price interval. The shares are to be paid for in cash.
The purpose of authorization is to give the Board greater scope to be able to adapt the Company's capital structure to the capital requirement from time to time and to ensure that Series B shares can be delivered to the participants, and to cover costs, within the framework of the Company's share savings program.
Information on the proposed Board members and the Nomination Committee's reasoned statement is available on the Company's website ncc.com.
The Annual Report, Auditor's Report, Remuneration Report, the Auditor's Statement on Compliance with the AGM's guidelines for executive remuneration, the Board's Statement on the motion concerning distribution of unappropriated earnings and repurchase of own shares will be made available for the shareholders at the Company's office, Herrjärva Torg 4, SE-170 67 Solna, and on the Company's website ncc.com no later than April 15, 2025 and will be sent to shareholders who so request and provide their postal address or e-mail address.
The Board of Directors and the CEO must, if a shareholder so requests and the Board considers it possible without this resulting in material damage to the Company, provide information concerning conditions that could influence the assessment of an item on the agenda, conditions that could influence assessments of the financial condition of the Company or subsidiaries, and the Company's relationship to other Group companies and the consolidated financial statements. Prior to the AGM, shareholders are invited to email questions to the CEO and the Board of Directors at [email protected].
For resolutions pertaining to the Board's motions under items 20 A and 20 C to be valid, it is required that the motions be supported by shareholders representing more than half of the votes cast and the shares represented at the AGM.
For a resolution pertaining to the Board's motions under items 20 B and 21 to be valid, it is required that the motions be supported by shareholders representing at least nine tenths of the votes cast and the shares represented at the AGM.
For a resolution pertaining to the Board's motions under item 22 to be valid, it is required that the motions be supported by shareholders representing at least two thirds of the votes cast and the shares represented at the AGM.

Resolutions under items 20 B and 20 C are contingent on the AGM passing a resolution under item 20 A.
The CEO, or the individual appointed by the CEO, shall be entitled to decide on minor changes to the resolutions of the AGM that may be necessary in connection with the registration of resolutions with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or due to other formal requirements.
As of the date of issue of this official notice, the total number of shares in the Company was 99,760,956, representing a total of 160,939,959 voting rights, comprising 6,797,667 Series A shares (10 votes per share), representing 67,976,670 voting rights, and 92,963,289 Series B shares (one vote per share) representing 92,963,289 voting rights, including 1,968,589 own Series B shares and representing 1,968,589 voting rights.
