The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting decide on a dividend of SEK 2 per share for 2008.
The proposed record date for payment of the dividend is 3 April 2009. If the meeting approves the pro¬posal, it is estimated that the dividend will be distributed by VPC AB on 8 April 2009.
Company management refers to the Chief Executive Officer and other members of Group management. The entire Board of Directors with the exception of the CEO is responsible for drawing up a draft state¬ment of principles governing compensation and other terms of employment for Company management and for preparing decisions on the CEO's compensation and other terms of employment.
The principles of compensation and other employment terms for Company management proposed by the Board are as follows:
The compensation should be market-based and competitive, and should reflect responsibilities and performance that are in the interest of the shareholders. The fixed salary should be reviewed each year. Fabege has a profitsharing fund covering all employees of the Company. Allocations to the profit-sharing fund should be based on the achieved return on equity and are subject to a ceiling of one base amount per year per employee. Any compensation on top of the fixed salary should be subject to a ceiling and related to the fixed salary. Any other benefits should make up a limited part of the total compensation.
The retirement age is 65. Pension benefits should correspond to the ITP occupational pension plan or be contribution-based with a maximum contribution of 35 per cent of the pensionable salary. Termination salary and severance pay must not exceed 24 months in total.
The Board proposes that the AGM authorise the Board, for a period ending no later than the next AGM, to buy back shares in the Company and assign such shares to other parties. Share buybacks are subject to a limit of 10 per cent of the total number of outstanding shares at any time and may be made on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. The right to assign shares is subject to a limit of 10 percent of all outstanding shares at any time. Derogating from the pre-emption rights of existing shareholders, such assignment may be made to third parties in connection with the acquisition of property or businesses, but not on Stockholm Stock Exchange. Payment for assigned shares may be made in kind, by offset or in another manner subject to terms and conditions. The authorisation is designed to enable the Company to continuously adapt its capital requirements and thereby improve shareholder value, and to enable assignment of shares as a means of funding the acquisition of property or businesses, by payment in shares owned by the Company (treasury stock).
Fabege AB (publ) is one of Sweden's leading property companies focusing on commercial premises. The book value of the company's property portfolio is approximately SEK 29.5 billion. The portfolio is concentrated to the Stockholm region and has an annualised rental value of SEK 2.4 billion and a lettable area of 1.5 million square metres.
