The task of verifying the minutes also includes controlling the voting register and checking that received postal votes are correctly reproduced in the minutes.

Item 7. - Resolution to amend the terms and conditions of the incentive program LTIP 2019

The board of directors of the Company proposes that the extraordinary general meeting resolves to amend the terms and conditions of the performance-based share program for the executive management and key employees, LTIP 2019, in such a way that the performance period is extended by one (1) year.

At the 2019 annual general meeting, the shareholders resolved on a long-term share-based incentive program, LTIP 2019. Additionally, the annual general meeting resolved that the Company's CEO was given the opportunity to participate in LTIP 2019. LTIP 2019 includes a maximum of 120 senior executives and other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Participants are given the opportunity to be allotted, free of charge, ordinary shares in the Company ("Performance Shares"), provided that the participant remains employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries during the period up to the date of publication of the Company's interim report for the period January-March 2022, which is expected to be 5 May 2022.

The allotment of Performance Shares relates to the development in the total shareholders return of investment of the Company’s ordinary share ("TSR") calculated from the volume weighted average price of the Company's ordinary share for the period from 9 May 2019 up to and including 15 May 2019, compared to the volume weighted average price of the Company's ordinary share for a corresponding measurement period following the publication of the Company's interim report for the period January-March 2022, which is expected to be released on May 5, 2022 (the "Performance Period"). Not more than 140,000 Performance Shares may be allotted under the program. In order for the allocation of Performance Shares to take place, the TSR must exceed a minimum level of 95 percent for the entire Performance Period, equivalent to 25 percent per year during the Performance Period (the "Threshold Level"). Maximum allotment is awarded if the TSR reach or exceeds 205 percent for the entire Performance Period, equivalent to 45 percent per year for the entire Performance Period (the "Target Level").

Background and reasons for the amendment of the terms and conditions

Due to the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, the board of directors considers that the program should be extended by one year with the following motivation:

The group has a large staff exposure to Russia and Ukraine, a fact that has been well known by the stock market for a long time. As a result of the uncertainty, the Company's share price has been negatively affected by what can be regarded as a force majeure. In other circumstances the board would not see any reason to change the terms of the program due to the influence of external factors, but given the great uncertainty that prevails, the board of directors sees that the staff is unfairly affected by the unjust invasion of Ukraine.

After its launch, the program included 118 individuals, sixty-five of them based in Ukraine. Of the Ukrainian employees who were part of the program at launch, fifty-seven will still be working at the Company when the shareholders will be summoned to an extraordinary general meeting. The board of directors deem that it, in the first place, is not fair that any employee is affected by these extraordinary events, and that it is particularly unfair for those of the employees who are the hardest exposed to the ongoing actions.

In addition to the above mentioned, a large part of the workforce is relocating, which makes it hard to practically deliver the shares. The employees still in Russia are affected by internal restrictions on income in foreign currencies. This should also be seen in the light of previous rules regarding ownership in foreign shares, something that has made delivery in both Ukraine and Russia difficult in previous years.

Finally, the board has also taken the retention effect into account. Moving the settlement of the program will have a retention effect on the staff that now are being forced to make life decisions about relocation, finding new places to live and settle down. To have a strong retention tool in these times is something the Board considers very valuable.

It is in the interest of the group, and the shareholders, that the long-term incentive programs reflect the performance that has been achieved, and that the Company in the best way can fulfill its commitment. The board of directors therefore considers that it, in the interests of the shareholders, is justifiable to extend the program by twelve months.

Extension of the Performance Period for LTIP 2019

The board proposes to extend the later date of the Performance Period by twelve (12) months. Accordingly, the Performance Period is extended to cover the period from the measurement period in 2019 to the corresponding measurement period following the publication of the Company's interim report for the period January-March 2023. The terms and conditions remain unchanged in all other parts.

The costs of LTIP 2019

Considering the extension of the Performance Period for LTIP 2019, the costs are calculated as follows. The total costs of LTIP 2019 at the maximum allotment of Performance Shares were estimated at a maximum of SEK 8,352,604, which corresponded to approximately 7.0 percent of total personnel costs for 2018. These costs would be allocated over the duration of the program. The estimated additional cost of extending the program is SEK 4,166,488 which will be taken over the remaining term of the program, the total cost is thus estimated to be SEK 12,519,092. The costs have been calculated as the sum of salary costs, including social costs, and administrative costs of the program. Administrative costs have been estimated at less than SEK 1,000,000. If no allocation of shares takes place, there will be a salary cost of approximately SEK 6.3 million and expenses related to administration. The salary costs have been calculated based on the value, at the start of the program of the Performance Shares that may be awarded if the Target Level is reached, less the present value of expected dividends over a three-year period. The estimate of the maximum cost is based on the Target Level being reached and the number of participants leaving the group during the Performance Period being equal to the historical average.

Other

The board of directors shall be entitled to make such minor adjustments to the resolution as may be required in connection with the registration thereof with the Swedish Companies Registration Office.
