Remuneration of the executive management
The Annual General Meeting decided in accordance with the Board’s proposed guidelines for remuneration of the executive management:

Remuneration is to be at a market level and competitive and to take into account the areas of responsibility and experience. The basic salary is to be subject to annual review. Variable salary shall be linked to predetermined and measurable criteria, designed with the intention of promoting the long-term creation of value in the Company. For the CEO no variable salary is payable and for other members of the executive management at most three months basic salary per year. The Board have the right to depart from these principles if there is reason for so doing in individual cases.

Nominations committee
The Nominations Committee shall consist of five members, of which one member shall be the Chairman of the Board. The Chairman of the Board shall contact the four largest shareholders by voting power of the Company as at the last day of share trading in September the year preceding the Annual General Meeting. In the event of the requested shareholder not wishing to appoint a member of the Nominations Committee, the next largest shareholder, who has not previously been asked to appoint a representative to the Nominations Committee, shall be asked.

The Nominations Committee shall perform the tasks ensuing from the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance.

Acquisition and transfer the Company’s own shares
The Annual General Meeting decided to authorize the Board, at the longest until the next Annual General Meeting, to decide upon acquisition and transfer of Klövern’s own shares. The object is to be able to adapt the capital structure of the Company to the capital requirement from time to time and thus be able to contribute to increased shareholder value. The Company does not own any of its own shares.

New issue
The Annual General Meeting decided to authorize the Board, on one or more occasions, during the period until the end of the next Annual General Meeting, to decide on a new issue of common and/or preference shares with or without departure from the shareholders’ preferential rights.

The number of shares issued shall correspond to an increase in the share capital of at most 10 per cent based on the total share capital of the Company at the time of the 2014 Annual General Meeting. The number of common shares that may be issued pursuant to the authorization may, however, amount to at most 10 per cent of the share capital consisting of common shares issued on the date of the 2014 Annual General Meeting and the number of preference shares which may be issued pursuant to the authorization may amount to at most 10 per cent of the share capital consisting of preference shares issued at the time of the 2014 Annual General Meeting.
