Resolution on nomination committee instructions and principles for the appointment of the nomination committee (item 14)

The nomination committee proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves on changed principles for the Annual General Meeting 2025 as follows.

The nomination committee shall consist of representatives from the four largest shareholders listed in the share register maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB as of the last banking day in September. If any of the four largest shareholders should refrain from appointing a representative to the nomination committee, the right shall pass, in order, to the shareholder who, after these four shareholders, has the largest shareholding in the company. The chairman of the board calls the first meeting of the nomination committee. The member representing the largest shareholder shall be appointed chairman of the nomination committee unless the nomination committee unanimously appoints someone else. If one or more of the shareholders who have appointed representatives to the nomination committee no longer belong to the four largest shareholders earlier than three months before the Annual General Meeting, the representatives appointed by these shareholders shall resign, and the shareholders who then belong to the four largest shareholders may appoint their representatives. If a representative resigns from the nomination committee before the nomination committee’s work is completed and the nomination committee considers it necessary to replace them, such replacement representative shall represent the same shareholder or, if the shareholder is no longer one of the largest shareholders, the largest shareholder in order. Shareholders who have appointed a representative to the nomination committee have the right to dismiss such a member and appoint a new representative to the nomination committee. Changes in the composition of the nomination committee must be notified to the board immediately.

The nomination committee is quorate if more than half of the members are present. However, decisions in the matter may not be made unless all members have been given the opportunity to participate in the matter’s treatment. The decision of the nomination committee applies to the opinion that more than half of the present members vote for or, in the event of a tie, the opinion supported by the chairman of the nomination committee.

The composition of the nomination committee for the Annual General Meeting shall normally be announced no later than six months before the meeting. No compensation shall be paid to the representatives in the nomination committee. The company shall reimburse any costs incurred by the nomination committee in its work. The mandate period for the nomination committee ends when the composition of the following nomination committee has been announced.

Resolution on authorization for the board to issue new shares (item 15)

The board proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to authorize the board to, on one or more occasions and until the time of the next Annual General Meeting, decide to increase the company’s share capital through the issuance of new shares. Such issuance decision may be made with or without deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights and with or without provision for non-cash or set-off or other conditions. The number of shares that can be issued under the authorization may correspond to a maximum of 10 percent of the number of outstanding shares and votes at the time of the Annual General Meeting.

The purpose of the authorization is to increase the company’s financial flexibility and the board’s room for maneuver. If the board decides on an issuance of shares with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, the reason shall be to finance acquisitions of businesses. In such deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, the issuance shall be carried out on market terms.

The board or the CEO shall have the right to make the minor adjustments to the Annual General Meeting’s decision required for registration of the authorization with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
