According to the policies approved by the Annual General Meeting on 28 April 2015, the Nomination Committee comprises Fabian Hielte (Chair of the Board of Directors), Magnus Swärd (Backahill AB), Anders Tykeson (Länsförsäkringar Göteborg och Bohuslän) and Staffan Ingeborn (Ernström & C:o AB), who is the Chair of the Nomination Committee. The three largest shareholders, who are represented in the Nomination Committee, together hold 76.6 percent of the votes and 32.5 percent of the capital. The Nomination Committee proposes the following.
Item 2 that the Meeting shall elect Olof Jisland as Chair of the Meeting.
Item 13 that the Board shall consist of six ordinary members without any deputy members.
Item 14 that total fees paid to the Board shall amount to SEK 1,050,000 (875,000), of which SEK 300,000 (250,000) is to the Chairman of the Board and SEK 150,000 (125,000) to each of the other members. This is an increase of 20%.
that fees to the auditors shall be paid according to an approved invoice.
Item 15 that Fabian Hielte, Anders Jarl, Lena Apler, Ricard Robbstål and Cecilia Marlow shall be re-elected as members of the Board. Eva Persson has declined re-election. Furthermore, it is proposed to appoint as a new member:
Charlotte Hybinette (born in 1973). Charlotte is a lawyer and managing partner of MAQS Advokatbyrå in Stockholm, with long experience of commercial real-estate transactions, securities law and corporate governance. Charlotte studied Law at Stockholm University and the College of Law in London before she joined MAQS Advokatbyrå in 2001.

Item 16 that the public accounting firm PwC be re-appointed as the company's auditor until the close of the 2017 Annual General Meeting, with Bengt Kron as the Auditor in Charge.
The Nomination Committee's proposal to re-appoint the accounting firm PwC until the close of the 2017 Annual General Meeting is conditional on the General Meeting's approval of the amendment to the Articles of Association as set out in Item 12 of the Agenda. It the amendment to the Articles of Association is not approved by the General Meeting as set out above, the auditor shall instead be appointed until the close of the 2020 Annual General Meeting.
Nomination Committee:
The Nomination Committee is appointed annually and must consist of the Chair of the Board of Directors and a representative of each of the three largest shareholders in terms of votes at the end of the third quarter. The Chair of the Board of Directors shall convene the first meeting of the Nomination Committee. The names of the persons who will form the Nomination Committee must be published on the company's website no later than six months before the next Annual General Meeting. If any of the three biggest shareholders in terms of votes refrains from appointing a representative to the Nomination Committee, this right accrues to the next largest shareholder in terms of votes. If a member's connection with the shareholder that nominated the member ends or if the member leaves the Nomination Committee for any other reason, the shareholder that nominated the member has the right to replace the member on the Nomination Committee. If any shareholder who appointed a member to the Nomination Committee disposes of a major holding of its shares in the company before the work of the Nomination Committee has been completed, the member appointed by this shareholder, if the Nomination Committee so decides, shall resign and be replaced by a new member appointed by the largest shareholder, in terms of votes, that is not represented on the Nomination Committee. The Nomination Committee appoints a Chair from among its members. The Chair of the Nomination Committee may not be a member of the Board of Directors. The Nomination Committee must prepare proposals for presentation to the 2017 Annual General Meeting for resolutions on the Chair of the Meeting, Board fees, auditors' fees, the Board of Directors, the Chair of the Board of Directors, auditors and the Nomination Committee for the 2018 Annual General Meeting.
Dividend and record date (Item 10 on the Agenda)
The Board of Directors and the CEO propose a dividend to the shareholders of SEK 1.00 per share (SEK 0.75). The Board of Directors recommends 2 May 2016 as the record date for the dividend. If the proposal is approved by the Annual General Meeting, the dividend should be paid out by Euroclear Sweden AB on 6 May 2016.
Resolution on amendment of the Articles of Association (Item 12 on the Agenda)
The Board proposes that the Annual General Meeting approve an amendment to Section 9 of the Articles of Association, so that the Articles of Association read as follows: "The company must have at least one (1) and at most two (2) authorised public accountants or a registered public accounting firm, and at most two (2) deputy auditors." The following sentence is hereby deleted in its entirety: "The term of office as auditor shall run until the close of the annual general meeting that is held in the fourth financial year after the appointment of auditors".
Furthermore, the Board of Directors proposes the addition of two items to Section 12 of the Articles of Association as follows: Establishment of fees to the Board and auditors Resolution on policies for the appointment of the Nomination Committee Proposal for amendment to the Articles of Association, published on www.platzer.se.
Please note that approval of the resolution is subject to the vote of shareholders with at least two thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.
Guidelines for remuneration of senior executives (Item 18 on the Agenda)
The Board of Directors proposes that the Meeting shall pass a resolution on the following guidelines. Remuneration and other terms of employment for the company's management group shall be at market rates, competitive and based on each employee's responsibilities and performance. Remuneration is paid as a fixed salary to all members of the management group. Pension terms shall be at market rates and based on defined contribution pension solutions or the ITP plan.
In addition to the fixed salary, variable pay shall also be possible, which shall then reward predefined, measurable performance. Such variable pay must not exceed the equivalent of three months' salary and, for the CEO, six months' salary. Long-term, variable pay programmes shall be share-related and based on performance as well as, when promised, based on a maximum of one year's salary.
Termination of employment by the company shall be subject to no more than 12 months' notice. Severance pay, including salary during the period of notice, may not exceed 12 monthly salaries.
The Board of Directors may waive these guidelines in individual instances should there be special reasons for doing so.
Authorisation for the Board of Directors to decide on a new share issue (Item 19 on the Agenda)
The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolves to authorise the Board of Directors to decide, by no later than the time of the next Annual General Meeting, on one or more occasions and with or without a preferential right for the shareholders, on a new issue of class B shares for a total value of no more than 10 percent of the share capital. The share issue may be made as a cash, non-cash or offset issue. Shares may only be issued at market price. The reason for departing from the preferential right for the shareholders is that the company, in the case of property transactions, may need prompt access to capital or, alternatively, need to pay with the company's shares. Furthermore, it is proposed that the Meeting authorise the Board of Directors and the CEO to make any minor adjustments to this resolution and take any action that may be necessary in connection with registration.
Please note that approval of the resolution is subject to the vote of shareholders with at least two thirds of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the meeting.
