Incentive programme 2015

The AGM approved the Board’s proposal regarding the implementation of a long-term save share based incentive programme (LTI 2015) and hedging arrangements in respect thereof by a change in the Articles of Association (meaning that the company shall be able to issue redeemable and convertible shares of series C with 1/10 vote and without dividend rights) and by authorising the Board to decide on a directed issue of shares of series C to a third party, to repurchase those shares and transfer the shares to participants in the programme.

The programme will be open to 20 participants employed within the Group, including the CEO. In brief, LTI 2015 means that the participants must make own investments in Gunnebo shares. These saving shares must be kept during a vesting period of three years. Following the expiration of the vesting period, and dependent on the continued holding of the saving shares and continued employment within the Group, the participants will be entitled to be allotted, free of charge, one Gunnebo share for each saving share. Furthermore, if certain performance conditions have been met during the vesting period, the participants may be allotted, free of charge, an additional four Gunnebo shares per saving share (applies to the CEO) or an additional three Gunnebo shares (applies to other participants). The performance conditions will be measured based on the outcome of earnings per share during the period 1 January 2015 – 31 December 2017.

The programme means that the participants may be allotted a maximum of 729,053 shares (an additional 190,886 shares are for hedging the costs for social charges) and the maximum cost for LTI 2015 is estimated to 36.7 MSEK.

Authorisation for the Board to decide on new share issue

The AGM approved the Board’s proposal regarding an authorisation for the Board to decide upon a new share issue in connection with company acquisitions.

Comments from the President’s address to the AGM

Gunnebo’s President & CEO, Per Borgvall, began his address to the AGM by describing the Group’s business. He then reviewed the results for 2014 by region and presented several customer cases. This was followed by a summary of 2014 and the focus areas for Gunnebo during 2015:

"During 2014 we have seen stabilisation in Region EMEA. The work to restructure the Group’s costs in Europe has continued and the desired effects have been achieved. The operating margin of 6.6% is the strongest the Group has seen for many years. We will continue to make cost efficiencies across the Group during 2015. During 2014, a non-core business in France was divested and we acquired companies in Mexico and the UK to strengthen our existing offering.

"For Gunnebo, 2015 will mean continuing to deliver improved financial results. We will also continue to shift the Group’s point of gravity in terms of geographic focus, resource allocation and customer value. A reduced cost base in Europe to further increase our margins and strenghten our cash flow will remain a high priority.

"The combination of a clear strategy, a strong financial position and a motivated workforce will help us to continue creating value for our shareholders, customers and business partners in the future.”
