Lars Renström, Alfa Laval’s retiring CEO, has declared that he declines re-election.

The Nomination Committee proposes that Anders Narvinger shall be appointed Chairman of the Board of Directors. Should Anders Narvinger’s assignment as Chairman of the Board of Directors end prematurely, the Board of Directors shall appoint a new Chairman.

Information on all members proposed to the Board of Directors and the Nomination Committee’s reasoned statement is available at Alfa Laval AB’s website, www.alfalaval.com and will also be available at the meeting.

The Nomination Committee proposes that the authorised public accountant Håkan Olsson Reising is re-elected and that the authorised public accountant Joakim Thilstedt is newly elected as the Company’s Auditors for the forthcoming year, thus for the time up to the end of the 2017 Annual General Meeting. The Nomination Committee also proposes that the authorised public accountants David Olow and Duane Swanson are re-elected as the Company’s deputy Auditors for the forthcoming year, thus for the time up to the end of the 2017 Annual General Meeting.

Item 15

The Board of Directors proposes that the meeting adopts a resolution on the following guidelines for compensation to senior management:

1. Scope

The term senior management refers to the Managing Director and the group management. These guidelines apply to employment contracts for members of the senior management entered into following the adoption of these guidelines by the meeting, and to amendments to existing employment contracts for senior management made thereafter. The Board of Directors has the right to deviate from the guidelines if there are special circumstances for such deviation in an individual case. Special circumstances may, e.g., be that it must be possible to offer to members of the senior management who reside outside Sweden terms which are competitive in their country of residence.

2. The main principle and how compensation matters are prepared

The main principle for the guidelines is that Alfa Laval AB shall offer compensation on market terms so that the Company can attract and retain a competent senior management. The Board of Directors has established a Committee within the Board, with the tasks of preparing the guidelines for compensation for the senior management, which shall be resolved upon by the Annual General Meeting, as well as to propose to the Board of Directors remuneration and employment provisions for the Managing Director. The Board of Directors shall resolve on matters regarding remuneration and employment provisions for the Managing Director following preparation by the Remuneration Committee. The Committee shall resolve on matters regarding remuneration and employment provisions for senior management which reports directly to the Managing Director. The Committee shall continuously report to the Board of Directors.

3. Fixed compensation

The fixed salaries shall be revised annually and shall be based upon the competence and areas of responsibility of each individual.

4. Variable compensation

The variable compensation comprises (i) an individual annual variable compensation, and may also, as a supplement, include (ii) a long-term incentive program.

(i) The individual annual variable compensation may be between 30 and 60 percent of the fixed compensation, depending on position. The outcome depends on the degree of fulfilment of, in particular, financial targets, and to a more limited extent also on qualitative targets.

(ii) The long-term incentive program directed to not more than 85 of the Company’s top executives, including the senior management, is intended to be a supplement to the individual annual variable compensation. It is the Board of Directors’ proposal to implement a long-term incentive program also in 2016, on terms similar to those of the current programs. The long-term incentive program for 2016 is, just as the long-term incentive programs for 2013, 2014 and 2015, a cash-based program connected to the Company’s earnings per share, taking possible acquisitions of the Company's own shares into account. The long-term incentive program for 2016 will run for three years. The proposed program may generate up to a maximum of 75 percent in total of the participants’ individual annual variable compensation over a period of three years. Payment to the participants of the program will be made after three years, provided, however, that they are still employees at that time.

The Board of Directors may consider to propose the General Meeting a share or share price-related program for the senior management.

5. Pension benefits

A detailed description of current pension schemes for the senior management is available in note 6 of the Annual Report for 2015.

Early retirement is offered selectively and only after a special decision by the Remuneration Committee. As from 2006, a premium based early retirement scheme with a premium of 15 percent of the pensionable income is offered.

For old-age pension, in addition to the ITP benefits, a premium based scheme, with a premium of 30 percent of the pensionable income above 30 basic amounts is being offered since 2006. Members of the senior management also have a special family pension which fills the gap between the old-age pension and the family pension according to the ITP plan. In addition, they have the opportunity to allocate salary and bonus to a temporary old-age and family pension.

6. Non-monetary benefits

Members of the senior management have the right to normal non-monetary benefits, such as company car and healthcare benefits. In certain cases, Alfa Laval AB can also arrange for a residence supplied by the Company.

7. Dismissal and severance pay

Should Alfa Laval AB dismiss a member of the senior management, the compensation during the notice period and the severance pay may be an amount corresponding to a maximum of two yearly salaries.

Item 16

The current Nomination Committee consists of Finn Rausing (Tetra Laval), Claes Dahlbäck (Foundation Asset Management), Lars-Åke Bokenberger (AMF-Pension), Jan Andersson (Swedbank Robur fonder) and Ramsay Brufer (Alecta) as well as the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Anders Narvinger.
