RESOLUTION PROPOSALS

Proposal for electing a chairman for the meeting (item 1 on the agenda)

The Nomination Committee, which was formed in accordance with the nomination procedure agreed on at the 2014 Annual General Meeting, representing the Company’s major shareholders and around 62% of the total number of votes in the Company, has proposed that the Chairman of the Board, Fredrik Arp, be elected chairman of the 2015 Annual General Meeting.

Presentation of the Annual Report (item 6 on the agenda)

In connection with the presentation of the annual report, the Board’s work in 2014 will be presented and also include an account of the Board’s work with auditing matters.

Dividend (item 8b on the agenda)

The Board proposes a dividend of SEK 8.50 per share, which represents 61 percent of profit after tax. This is in line with Nolato's dividend policy, to propose a dividend annually that exceeds 50 percent of the net profit with regard to Nolato's long-term prospects, financial position and investment needs. The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that Monday 4 May 2015 be set as the dividend record date. If the Annual General Meeting passes a resolution in accordance with the Board’s proposal, the dividend is expected to be issued by Euroclear Sweden AB on Thursday 7 May 2015.

Election of the Board and auditors, and fees payable to the Board and auditors (items 9-11 on the agenda)

In connection with these items, a presentation of the Nomination Committee’s work, function and members will be presented.

The Nomination Committee has notified the Company that it will recommend that the Annual General Meeting resolves:

– that the Board of Directors shall consist of seven ordinary members and no deputies.

– that there shall be one auditor and no deputy auditor.

– that, until the next Annual General Meeting, the Board of Directors shall receive fees totalling SEK 1,505,000, excluding travel allowance (SEK 1,420,000) to be distributed as follows among the non-employed members elected by the Annual General Meeting: SEK 420,000 (400,000) to the Chairman of the Board and SEK 185,000 (175,000) each to the other members. SEK 60,000 (55,000) to the Chairman of the Audit Committee and SEK 40,000 (35,000) to the ordinary member. SEK 60,000 (55,000) to the Chairman of the Remuneration Committee. It shall be possible to invoice the fees, including any social security contributions, provided that it is cost-neutral for the Company and in accordance with prevailing tax regulations.

– that the auditor’s fee shall be payable as agreed, and that any additional work be remunerated by agreement.

– that the Board members Fredrik Arp, Dag Andersson, Sven Boström-Svensson, Åsa Hedin, Henrik Jorlén, Hans Porat and Lars-Åke Rydh be re-elected and that Fredrik Arp be re-elected as Chairman of the Board.

– that the registered audit company Ernst & Young AB be appointed auditor, until the end of the Annual General Meeting in 2016, with Authorised Public Accountant Stefan Engdahl as Auditor-in-Charge.

The Board’s proposed guidelines for the remuneration of senior executives (item 12 on the agenda)

In connection with the presentation of the Board’s proposals, the Board’s work in 2014 with remuneration for senior executives will be reported. An account of the work, function and members of the Remuneration Committee will be provided.

The senior executives are the President and CEO and other members of the Group Management (five people in total). The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting should resolve to ratify the following guidelines for the remuneration of senior executives, which largely correspond to the guidelines applied by the Company in 2014, except that the President's share based remuneration has been replaced by an additional pension obligation.

The Board’s proposal mainly involves applying salaries and other terms of employment in line with market norms. Remuneration shall consist of a set base salary, variable remuneration, pension premiums and other remuneration. Variable remuneration shall be based primarily on fulfilling targets in terms of financial outcomes. Variable remuneration may amount to a maximum of 40% of base salary, and a maximum of 50% for the President and CEO. For the President and CEO a three-year agreement was signed in 2011, whereby additional remuneration may be paid based on Nolato’s share price performance during the period 01/04/2011–31/03/2014. This agreement with compensation based on the share price is not renewed and has been terminated. Instead a pension obligation has been agreed during the period 01/04/2014 – 31/03/2017. According to this obligation, the Company shall pay additional pension premiums of SEK 500,000 per quarter. The other pension premiums for the President and CEO shall be 40% of pensionable salary and shall follow a defined contribution plan, with a retirement age of 65. For other senior executives, a defined contribution pension plan and a retirement age of 65 shall apply. Total redundancy pay and severance pay may not exceed a total of 24 months’ pay for senior executives.

The Board of Directors is entitled to diverge from the above guidelines if it deems that there are specific grounds for doing so in exceptional cases.

Nomination Committee (item 13 on the agenda)

The Nomination Committee has notified the Company that it will recommend that the Annual General Meeting resolves:

1. That the Company shall have a Nomination Committee consisting of one representative for each of the five largest shareholders in terms of number of votes as at the end of September. The names of the five shareholder representatives and the names of the shareholders whom they represent shall be made public as soon as they have been appointed, but no later than six months before the 2016 Annual General Meeting. The Nomination Committee’s mandate period shall run until a new Nomination Committee has been elected. Unless the members of the Nomination Committee agree otherwise, the Chairman of the Nomination Committee shall be the member who represents the largest shareholder in terms of number of votes.

2. That the Nomination Committee shall draw up proposals on the following matters to be presented to the 2016 Annual General Meeting for resolution:

(a) a proposal for the chairman of the Annual General Meeting,

(b) proposals for members of the Board,

(c) a proposal for the Chairman of the Board,

(d) proposals for auditors,

(e) proposed fees for members of the Board, as allocated between the Chairman of the Board and other members of the Board,

(f) proposal for fees for the Company’s auditors,

(g) proposals for the Nomination Committee ahead of the 2017 Annual General Meeting.
