Notice of participation at the AGM may be submitted in one of the following ways:
When giving notice of participation, the shareholder shall state his or her name, personal ID/corporate registration number, address and telephone number, their shareholding in Fabege and the names of any advisors they wish to attend. Shareholders with shares registered in the name of a trustee must, in order to be entitled to participate in the AGM, temporarily re-register their shares in their own names. Such temporary re-registration must be executed by Friday, 23 March, 2012. To ensure that this is completed in time, shareholders are advised to notify their trustees to request temporary re-registration well in advance of this date. Shareholders who are represented by proxy shall issue a power of attorney to be enclosed with the notice of participation, along with any registration certificates or other proof of authorisation.
d) record date should the Meeting decide on dividend payment.
The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM decide to approve a dividend of SEK 3 per share for 2011.
The proposed record date for payment of the dividend is 3 April 2012. Should the shareholders attending the AGM approve the said motion, the dividend is scheduled to be distributed by Euroclear Sweden AB on 10 April 2012.
Company management is defined as the Chief Executive Officer and other senior executives. All members of the Board with the exception of the CEO are responsible for preparing a draft statement of principles governing remuneration and other terms of employment for company management, and for preparing decisions on the CEO's remuneration and other terms of employment.
The Board's motions concerning principles for remuneration and other terms of employment for management are as follows:
Remuneration should be market-based and competitive, and reflect responsibilities and performance that are in the interest of the shareholders. Fixed salary should be reviewed annually. In addition to fixed salary, remuneration may be paid for target-related performance. Such remuneration shall depend on the extent to which pre-defined targets have been achieved within the framework of the company's activities. The targets comprise financial as well as non-financial criteria. Any remuneration in addition to the fixed salary shall be subject to a ceiling and related to the fixed salary. Variable remuneration is limited to a maximum of three (3) monthly salaries. In the event of full target achievement, the variable remuneration paid to management may not exceed a total annual cost for the company of SEK 2.1m (excluding social security contributions), based on the current number of senior executives. Any other benefits shall constitute only a limited part of the total remuneration.
The company has a profit-sharing fund covering all employees of the company. Allocations to the profit-sharing fund should be based on the achieved return on equity and be subject to a ceiling of one (1) base amount per year per employee.
The retirement age is 65. Pension benefits should be equivalent to the ITP supplementary pension plan for salaried employees in industry and commerce, or be contribution-based with a maximum contribution of 35 per cent of pensionable salary. Termination salary and severance pay must not exceed 24 months in total.
The Board of Directors proposes that the Meeting authorize the Board, for a period ending no later than at the next AGM, to acquire shares in the company and transfer these shares to other parties. Share buybacks are subject to a limit of 10 per cent of the total number of shares outstanding at any time. Acquisitions may be effected on the Stockholm Exchange at a price per share that is within the registered span of share prices at the particular time. All of the treasury shares held by the company at the time of the Board of Directors' decision may be transferred. The shares may be transferred either on the Stockholm Exchange or in another manner, disapplying the shareholders' preferential rights, at a price per share that is within the registered span of share prices at the particular time. Payment for transferred shares may take the form of cash, cash in kind, the offsetting of debt or otherwise be subject to terms and conditions. The reason for the authorisation is to be able to continuously adjust the company's capital requirements and thus contribute to increasing shareholder value and, in connection with the financing of any property or company acquisitions, to be able to use treasury shares as means of payment.
The following persons have been appointed to the Nominating Committee: Bo Forsén (Brinova Fastigheter AB), Fredrik Grevelius (Investment AB Öresund), Eva Gottfridsdotter-Nilsson (Länsförsäkringar fondförvaltning) samt Anders Rydin (SEB fonder). Bo Forsén has served as the Committee's chairman. The four owner representatives jointly represent about 27,5 per cent of the votes in Fabege, 31 January 2012.
The Nominating Committee proposes that the 2012 Annual General Meeting resolve:
