Decision approvals

Point 2: The Nomination Committee proposes Henry Klotz as Chairman of the Meeting.

Point 10: The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that an ordinary dividend of SEK 6.00 per share as well as an extra ordinary dividend of SEK 53.00 per share be paid to the shareholders. April 19, 2011 is proposed as record date with payment on April 26, 2011.

Point 12: The Board of Directors proposes that the Articles of Association shall be amended as follows:

  • The seat of the Board of Directors shall be Solna, Stockholm county
  • In section 10 "at the latest 12 o'clock" is deleted

Point 13: The Nomination Committee proposes to the Annual General Meeting that the number of members of the Board of Directors shall be seven. The reason for the Nomination Committee's proposal to increase the number of the members of the Board of Directors from seven to five is that the company has divested the main part of its real estates to Fastighets AB Balder and therefore the continued business will only require a limited Board of Directors.

Point 14: The Nomination Committee proposes all Board members, that is, Tomas Andersson, Jan Johansson, Henry Klotz, Christer Sandberg, Erik Selin, Lennart Schönning and Svante Wadman are re-elected. The Nomination Committee further proposes re-election of Henry Klotz as Chairman of the Board.

The proposed composition of the of Board of Directors will not fulfil the Swedish Corporate Governance Code's requirement on board member independence. The deviation from the Code is explained with that the company's business after divesting its main part of its real estates will be limited to one real estate development project in Solna. Hence it has been considered that the requirement for board members independence will be of less importance.

Point 15: The Nomination Committee proposes that the Board fees shall be unchanged which means:

a) SEK 210,000 to the Chairman of the Board of Directors and

b) SEK 105,000 to other Board members elected at a General Meeting who are not employed by the company.

The Nomination Committee further proposes that the fee to auditors shall be in accordance with the proved invoices for work carried out.

Point 17: The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting decides to establish the following guidelines for remuneration to senior executives. The proposal is entirely new in comparison to the guidelines established by the Company during 2010. The Board of Directors shall have the right to deviate from the guidelines to the extent special reasons call therefore.

Remuneration to the President shall be decided by the Board of Directors. Remuneration to other senior executives shall be decided by the President according to the principles established by the Board of Directors. Member of the Board of Directors who are included in company management will not participate in preparation of such matters. Remuneration to the Chairman and other members of the Board of Directors will be paid according to the decision by the Annual General Meeting.

The President will be paid a fixed monthly salary which includes compensation for overtime as well as a pension payment amounting to a maximum of 20 percent of the monthly salary. The retirement age of the President is 65 years with a mutual notice period for termination of three months.

For other senior executives the termination period amounts to three months for both parties. Retirement age is 65 years. Pension payment amounting to a maximum of 20 percent of the monthly salary.

Point 18: The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting authorizes the Board of Directors to, if the Board of Directors deems appropriate, take decisions pertaining to acquisitions and transfers of own shares. The authorization is aimed at providing the Board of Directors with additional freedom of action in its work with the Company's capital structure and if appropriate, to facilitate the acquisition of operations through payment using company shares. Acquisition of own shares may amount to maximum corresponding to one tenth of the number of shares issued in the company. Remuneration for shares shall be market-based. Transfer of own shares may amount to maximum the number of shares, which at the time of such transfer, was acquired according to the above, and may be done with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights in connection with acquisition of operations, whereby payment can be made in another form than monetary. The Board of Directors shall, on one or more occasions, be able to make such decisions prior to the 2012 Annual General Meeting.
