DIVIDENDS AND RECORD DATE (ITEMS 11 AND 12 ABOVE)

If the Annual General Meeting votes in accordance with this motion, dividends are expected to be paid out through Euroclear commencing Tuesday, April 12, 2016.

FEES (ITEM 14 ABOVE)

The Nomination Committee formed at the 2015 Annual General Meeting, representing the largest shareholders, has announced its intention to submit the following motion for approval with regard to this item:

With regard to directors' fees, a fixed fee of SEK 300,000 (300,000) is proposed for each of the regular members of the Board of Directors, except the Chairman of the Board. A fixed director's fee of SEK 900,000 (900,000) is proposed for the Chairman of the Board. As in previous years, the Chairman of the Board will continue to be called upon to perform duties other than those involving normal Board work.

It is proposed that audit fees be paid in accordance with approved invoices.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS (ITEMS 15 AND 16 ABOVE)

The Nomination Committee has announced its intention to submit a motion to the Annual General Meeting proposing that the Board of Directors comprise eight regular members and no deputy members. The Nomination Committee will propose the re-election of Carina Andersson, Marianne Brismar, Anders G. Carlberg, Peter Nilsson, Caroline af Ugglas, Anders Ullberg, Anders Wall and Johan Wall as regular Board members. For more information, visit www.beijeralma.se.

The Nomination Committee proposes that Anders Wall be elected Chairman of the Board and Johan Wall be elected Deputy Chairman of the Board.

ELECTION OF THE AUDITORS (ITEM 17 ABOVE)

The Nomination Committee has announced its intention to submit a motion to the Annual General Meeting proposing that the registered public accounting firm Öhrlings PricewaterhouseCoopers AB be elected as the company's auditor with a mandate period of one year, meaning until the end of the 2017 Annual General Meeting. If this motion is passed, Öhrlings PricewaterhouseCoopers intends to re-appoint Authorized Public Accountant Leonard Daun as the company's Chief Auditor.

NOMINATING PROCEDURE AND ELECTION OF NOMINATION COMMITTEE (ITEM 18 ABOVE)

For the 2017 Annual General Meeting, the Nomination Committee proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolve that the company apply a similar nominating procedure to that applied in the preceding year and that the Annual General Meeting appoint the members of the Nomination Committee. This motion means that Anders Wall, in his capacity as principal owner and Chairman of the Board, Director Johan Wall and three representatives of the next largest shareholders appointed by the Annual General Meeting, who have expressed their willingness to participate in the Nomination Committee, will comprise the Nomination Committee and prepare motions regarding the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, directors' fees, auditors, audit fees and the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting. Accordingly, the Nomination Committee proposes that the Annual General Meeting appoint Hans Ek (SEB Fonder), Mats Gustafsson (Lannebo Fonder) and Henrik Didner (Didner & Gerge AB) to the Nomination Committee, in addition to the individuals listed above

Should such action be deemed appropriate due to ownership changes, the Nomination Committee is entitled to offer additional shareholders positions on the Nomination Committee, although the total number of members may not exceed six. The Chairman is to be the member who represents the largest shareholder. Should a member of the Nomination Committee resign from the Committee before the Committee's work is completed, and the Nomination Committee deems such action appropriate, the Nomination Committee may request that the same shareholder or, if this shareholder is no longer among the largest shareholders, the next largest shareholder appoints a replacement. Members of the Nomination Committee will not receive a fee, but any expenses that arise during the nominating procedure shall be paid by the company. The mandate period of the Nomination Committee extends until a new Nomination Committee is appointed at the next Annual General Meeting.

RESOLUTION CONCERNING ISSUE AUTHORIZATION (ITEM 19 ABOVE)

As in earlier years, the Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorize the Board for the period until the next Annual General Meeting, in deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, to make decisions concerning the issue of not more than 3,000,000 new Class B shares or of convertible debentures carrying the right to not more than 3,000,000 new Class B shares upon exchange. The Board will also be entitled to make decisions in cases when contributions may be made with assets other than money (non-cash issue), with the right to offset debt or according to other terms.

The share capital may not be increased by more than a total of MSEK 12.5. The authorization pertains only to corporate acquisitions, which is the reason for the deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights.

DETERMINATION OF GUIDELINES FOR REMUNERATION TO SENIOR MANAGEMENT (ITEM 20 ABOVE)

The Board has prepared a motion concerning guidelines for determining remuneration and other employment terms for senior executives. These comprise the Group's senior management, including the President, the presidents of the three sub-groups, the Parent Company's Chief Financial Officer and the Parent Company's Controller.

The Board's motion is based on the aim that the company's remuneration level and remuneration structure for senior executives shall reflect market conditions. The total package of terms shall be a weighted combination of basic salary, annual variable remuneration, long-term share-based incentive programs where appropriate, pension benefits, other benefits and terms regulating termination of employment and severance pay. Annual variable remuneration is always maximized at 100 percent of the basic salary. Annual variable remuneration and long-term share-based incentive programs are primarily to be related to the company's/Group's earnings and value trends. Pension benefits are always defined-contribution benefits. The Board has determined that there is currently no reason to propose a share-based incentive program.

MOTION FROM THORWALD ARVIDSSON (ITEM 21 ABOVE)

Shareholder Thorvald Arvidsson has submitted a written motion proposing that:

• a) a vision of zero tolerance be adopted when it comes to workplace accidents in the company and the portfolio companies
• b) the company's Board of Directors be assigned the task of appointing a work group with the aim of achieving this vision of zero tolerance
• c) the results be presented in writing to the Annual General Meeting each year as a suggestion, by including a report in the printed Annual Report
• d) a vision of total gender equality be adopted at all levels of the company and the portfolio companies
• e) the company's Board of Directors be assigned the task of appointing a work group with the aim of ultimately achieving this vision and closely monitoring developments relating to equality and ethnicity
• f) a written report be presented to the Annual General Meeting each year as a suggestion, by including the report in the printed Annual Report
• g) the Board of Directors be assigned the task of taking the necessary measures to establish a shareholders' association in the company
• k) that the Articles of Association (Article 4, Paragraph 4) be amended as follows: Both classes of shares entitle their holder to one vote."
• m) that the Articles of Association (Article 6) be amended to include two new paragraphs: Former government ministers may not be appointed as Board members until two years have passed since they stepped down from their role. Other paid public officials may not be appointed as Board members until one year has passed since they stepped down from their role, unless special reasons exist.

Some of Arvidsson's motions have not been addressed, which is why they have been listed by individual letters.

The Board has rejected the motions presented but – with respect to the proposed shareholders' association – is not opposed to Beijer Alma's shareholders forming a shareholders' association on their own.

To be valid, a resolution concerning amendments to Article 4 of the Articles of Association (concerning voting rights) must be supported by shareholders representing not less than two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the Meeting, provided that amendment is approved by shareholders holding half of all Class A shares and nine-tenths of the Class A shares represented at the Meeting. To be valid, a resolution concerning amendments Article 6 of the Articles of Association (concerning a quarantine period for public officials) must be supported by shareholders representing not less than two-thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the Meeting.
