Principles for determination of remuneration payable to senior executives (item 15):
The Board of Directors proposes the following principles for determination of remuneration payable to senior executives: Remuneration to the President and other senior executives shall comprise a fixed salary corresponding to market practice. No remuneration shall be paid for board work carried out by senior executives in group companies. Variable salaries such as bonuses may exist when this is justified in order to be able to recruit and keep key employees and to stimulate sales- and performance improvements and the ambition to achieve certain ratios resolved by the Board of Directors. Variable remunerations shall be based on predetermined and measurable criterions such as performance of New Wave Group or return on equity compared with return on equity in relation to fixed objectives. The variable remuneration may amount to a maximum of 50 % of the fixed salary. The Board of Directors shall each financial year decide if a share- or share-based incentive program relating to that financial year shall be proposed to the Annual General Meeting or not. It is the General Meeting that decides on all such share-based incentive programs.
Pension benefits shall be equivalent to the general ITP-plan or, for senior executives working outside Sweden, pension benefits that are customary in the relevant country. For all senior executives a mutual period of termination not exceeding six month and no severance pay shall apply
Authorization of the Board of Directors to resolve about new issues of shares (item16):
The main content of the proposal is authorization of the Board of Directors, for a period up to the next Annual General Meeting, to resolve, whether on one or several occasions, about new issues of not more than 4 000 000 shares of series B. The authorization includes the right to adopt decisions on deviation from the shareholders' pre-emption rights, however not if the decision on new issue stipulates payment for the shares in cash only. By resolutions according to the authorization the share capital can be increased with not more than SEK 12 000 000. The authorization shall include a right to adopt decisions on new issues in kind or new issues by way of set-off or otherwise on such terms and conditions as referred to in Chapter 13, Section 5, point 6, of the Swedish Companies Act. The reasons for deviation from the shareholders' pre-emption rights are that the newly issued shares shall be utilized for company acquisitions or to finance continued expansion. The basis for the issue price shall be the share's market value. A resolution according to this proposal is valid only if supported by shareholders holding at least twothirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.
Authorization of the Board of Directors to take up certain financing (item17):
The main content of the proposal is authorization of the Board of Directors, for a period up to the next Annual General Meeting, to resolve about taking up financing of the kind regulated in Chapter 11, Section 11 of the Swedish Companies Act. The conditions for such financing shall be on market conditions. The reason for the authorization is that the company shall be able to take up financing, on attractive conditions, where inter alia the interest is related to the company's results or financial standing.
